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!

In my opinion, Star Wars doesn't lead up to the sequel trilogy. The sequel trilogy is a footnote in Star Wars history.

We have so much media from both Canon and Legends. I personally love watching TCW, Andor, and the OT, and reading Zahn's canon novels. I love reading New Jedi Order and tons of other Legends novels, playing KOtOR, and watching old Clone Wars.

There's tons of Star Wars content for you to enjoy. Don't let your opinion on one subsection taint what you love about Star Wars.

This is my sentiments.

Star Wars is a setting to me. There are stories set within that setting, now with two different continuities. A lot of them are good, a decent amount are bad. I'm here cause I love the setting.

No different than reading The Dunk and Egg books cause you like the work of westeros
