Why having "Star Wars" and "Star Wars (Legends)" does not work

[Hagane_no_Saiyajin]

This all goes back to the fact that Disney isn't the author of Star Wars in the first place, it was George Lucas, so if we were to create a page that is just "Star Wars" without input from Disney or the Expanded Universe/Lucasfilm, we would only look at G-canon material as that is where we see the authorial intent for the verse.

The same goes for character pages, for characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, if we were really going to have a profile that just says "Luke Skywalker" and "Darth Vader", we'd be looking at G-canon only for it as George Lucas was the one who created Luke Skywalker, not Disney. And for anyone looking at the profiles of these characters with no context, they would think that everything was based on what was in the original 6 (or 9) movies instead of the canon created by either Lucasfilm or Disney, so they would be misinformed.

This is why it is better if we have the pages be named "Star Wars (Disney Canon)" and "Star Wars (Lucasfilm Canon)", because neither or are purely George Lucas' vision of the story, but more of their own canon separate from it. And like I said, if we are to create a page that just says "Star Wars", we would look only a G-canon over Disney Canon, lest we ignore ignore authorial intent.

Like I explained, characters like Godzilla for example have media produced and published by different companies and they each have their own canon separated from one another, what exactly is the problem with giving Star Wars the same treatment?

Although, if anyone it up for creating a purely G-canon verse page for Star Wars, I'm all ears!

Dude, that's already been rejected.

Canon and Legends should be renamed Disney Canon and Lucasfilm Canon

This really should be done because what Disney has done was create their own canon that is separate from what Lucasfilm has done up until 2014. This is simply because what we consider "Legends" once included G-canon, which in short is George Lucas' own authority. While it is arguable how much...

Per our rules a thread cannot be resubmited after it's been rejected for at least three months:

When creating content revisions, it is essential to ensure that the topic has not been addressed previously. Rejected content revisions cannot be resubmitted within a short period of time (typically defined as within 3 to 4 months), except in cases where a staff member has a good reason to do so (e.g. important unconsidered information, violation of site standards, or flaws in a calculation). This only applies to threads that have received extensive debate or have been rejected due to a clear conflict with the wiki's rules or standards. If a thread passes or is rejected without significant opposition, then opposition should not be restricted from making a point.

Nothing presented is different from the last thread. So I'm closing this.
