Odie-something.
And I believe that will be a day when the art of storytelling in television or movie form has been destroyed. I can tolerate minor inconsistencies, but not major ones.
Luckily, there haven't been any yet.
Again: -
It helps that the Kanan comic was framed as a bacta induced flashback (nope, Boba Fett did not invent those!) So any discrepancies can be chalked up to a skewed perspective and warped recollections of traumatic events years after the fact. The essential facts were all basically consistent anyway, so it's hardly a big deal.
LF has be rather careful about this kind of thing; making sure they allow themselves some latitude and don't' get painted into too many corners.
Regardless, the whole idea that tie-in material would be considered canon and that movies/TV shows would be required to stay consistent with novels and comic books was laughable enough to begin with, and there's no reason anyone should have expected it to be adhered to.
That's just plain silly hyperbole.
Indeed. Anyone who genuinely thought this would ever happen was fooling themselves.
Well, that's exactly what has happened throughout the history of Star Wars. A lot of fan assumptions, and delusional style of thinking of expecting the films to abide by preconceived notions of how that universe was to unfold, either informed by novels or video games or personal imagination.
Essentially, yeah. Though I think it's fair to say that under Disney, LF has been giving the ancillary materials far more weight on the live action/animation than they ever had in the old EU. The latter still gets priority of course, because it makes no sense to derail a movie or a TV show just because the story doesn't fit with what was printed in some RPG sourcebook, or a collection of short stories. The general attitude seems to be a willingness to make it fit if they can, but not worry overmuch if there's some squinting and head turning required.
Plus one must always look at these things are they are: products made by people, not objective accounts of this that actually happened. So it's never going to be 100% consistent even if they put in a concerted and unreasonably stringent effort to do so.
Right.
That's the fan's job to put concerted and unreasonable efforts to make a stringent timeline.
In memory of Master Sinube, one of the victims of Vader and the Inquisitors:
That was probably the best episode yet.
And yet Qui Gon actually died when he got ran through. Fuckin' amateur.
