Want to try that again??
Just saw somebody post on Facebook in response to a share of the new Star Wars trailer that they weren't going to see this one because they "wish they had stuck to canon".
Bwhaaaa??
Ummmm... Hello, this is an official Star Wars movie, continuing on from the original trilogy, for which there is NO MOVIE CANON because it hasn't been made yet!!! Or rather, not until now.
Which means, this IS canon. Yes, there's the Expanded Universe in the tie-in novels, but there's so much of that that has been contradicted for so long. Canon for the movieverse is what is in the movies. This is an official Star Wars movie. Picks up from the end of the original trilogy. IT. IS CANON.
Facebook person, want to try your argument again?
