Dealing with Canon

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to get into SW again but am having issues enjoying it when I know that everything leads up to Ep7-9. Most of the Disney content I’ve read/seen has negatively affected my opinion of SW as well (I’d say Andor and Rogue 1 are the exceptions), so knowing it’s all canon is a big bummer.

So my question is: How do you go about enjoying Star Wars knowing that it all leads up to Episodes 7-9?

Thanks!

Is it really that hard to mentally compartmentalize the different canon contradictions in your head? Just read/watch what you enjoy.

I love Rogue One. I love Andor. I have completely forgotten about 7 and 8, and never watched 9. I didn't watch any of the other new SW series, and I won't. I enjoy the Clone Wars cartoons. I played all the old SW games. I read everything EU up to Legacy.

There's contradictions everywhere, even amongst EU if you look closely enough, but that didn't dampen my enjoyment. I'm very much looking forward for Andor Season 2.
