Of course it's in the canon.
In the "legends" canon that exists alongside the new canon.

No, it's EU shit

no, Lucas devised the Shadows story himself


the whole thing was a marketing exercise to work out how they would cross-promote material and spin off minor characters into their own merchandising when the prequels began

Shadows occurs before Return of the Jedi

>>64655272

You are now aware that you live in a world, a terrifying world, where there are people right this moment who use terms such as "canon" and "cinematic universe" when talking about films and television shows.

A terrifying world where imagined characters on a screen are required, according to those who discuss them, to adhere to "ground rules" set out by the creators of said-characters. A terrifying world where those that discuss these characters and their actions, are actually enraged if said-characters deviate from the mannerisms expected of them, the mannerisms that may have initially been set in the pages of a comic book.

Think about that. A comic book. For children. Yes, pictures and words on the same page, which are meant to be read by children, that are actually read by adults who then bicker and express their frustration at film-adaptations of these comic books not being "faithful". Faithful to a comic book. That's supposed to be read by young children.

This is your world. This is the world of capeshit. Terrifying, isn't it?

His ship is in a new hope, totally canon.

There were some absolute gems in the old EU for sure, but shit like the Vong and the Suncrusher? I'm happy to throw the baby out with the bathwater on that. I sense you're just exaggerating, but has there been anything in the new EU that's worse than the worst of the old EU?
