According to one rumour, that is what the Ahsoka series is doing.
Cara Dune
- Thread starter Vulture
- Start date
Maybe. Considering that the war between the Empire and New Republic lasted about two decades, followed by an extra-galactic invasion, followed by another civil war looming. The Galaxy in Legends was a colossal mess by the the time of Canon's The Rise of Skywalker.
Though the pieces are still being placed for between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. With The Mandalorean et al filling some of that timeframe.

I know. Granted i was having a little fun with fan musing but I do think it's something to consider that Grogu is such a popular thing in Star Wars I don't see him being limited to just The Mandalorian. At some point people are going to want to know what he grows up to be so we will at some point see him in the future.
I also think of it like this. Lets say Disney wants to hire Edgar Wright to do a movie or movies. He has a great idea for movies or even a movie trilogy and it is set in what would be the Sequel time period. The catch is it would ruin most of the continuity in the sequel movies, yet the idea is so good they think they would make tons of money on doing it.
Do you really think they would be so protective of the sequel trilogy continuity or canon that they would reject something that would make them money and likely even make for better movies than what we got out of the sequels just to do what exactly? Respect the continuity and work of those who made those movies? I see that being a more tricky issue when it comes to undoing something done by George Lucas but I am not sure people are that into protecting the works of Abrams and Johnson and what they did for SW.
I find this scenario unbelievable on its face. If they didn't redo the prequels I don't see it with the Sequels.
Anikan was a clone of Obiwan.
Mon Mothma is an apprentice to Palptine.
The empire is a thousand years old.
Yoda and Yaddle have a dope sex scene with full frontal nudity.

But it has happened before. Many Halloween and Terminator movies have been tossed out of the official continuity over the years. Like the last Terminator movie they made wanted to pretend all the other ones made after the second one never happened. John Connor doesn't turn into Christian Bale or even Nick Stahl. He ends up as a dead teen. Never to become the hero. At least with a multiverse which the angle I think they would go is they could keep it and ignore it as they see fit.
It is also possible, if going with my idea the Edgar Wright movies would be sold as elseworlds movies. Kind of like The Batman and Joker were sold at DC. But the thing is if they decide to keep making all of the newer stuff in the elseworlds they basically become the prime universe from the perspective of that is where all the new stuff is happening.
Not with Star Wars movies.

Well that is true but then again those other things had their first reboots and retcons as well. It's kind of amazing it hasn't already happened. Hell I am surprised how long they have been going with the Prime Universe in Trek as well.
Whatever force it was that was holding them back I think has gone out the window now that the audience is well versed in the concept of a multiverse. Well that and altered timelines like Tarantino killing HItler or that Pennyworth show set in a altered 60''s Batman universe.
Though in reality the idea has gone back more. Even something like Alien Nation set up a world that was like the normal world but just with aliens in it that were a metaphor for immigrants. I just don't see the sequels being so loved as to being something Disney would be afraid to erase and start over from a continuity.
It doesn't stop anymore from using those characters again or even returning to that setting if they want someday. All this would do is expand the range of settings in which to do shows and movies in. It gets fans off their back who hate the Sequels and if they are preserved in some tech multi-verse way then that keeps people who do like them happy that Rey and others didn't cease to exist or anything like that.

People forget the sheer amount of animosity flung at the PT. If you believe it's possible more power to you. I don't see it occurring in Lucas' lifetime.
1. Mutable timeline.
Skynet sends the T-800 back.
Time is changed completely.
Everything thing is still exactly the same.
Skynet sends a Terminator back.
Time is changed completely.
Everything is exactly the same.
And so on.
If changes in the past kill the future, because the universe resets as soon as a time traveler goes back to make changes to the time line, then Skynet and John Connor could not have kept sending people and things back in time from futures that never existed.
2. Fixed timeline.
a. Skynet sends back the t-100, who's cpu is used to make Skynet.
b. John sends Kyle back to make John.
c. The future keeps on trucking, no matter who you send back, everything they will do, is already part of established history. The present can't be changed by muddling with the past.
3. Multiverse.
a. Skynet sends the T-800, and a T-1000 creating 2 new time lines where the T-800 kills young John, and the T-1000 funks out with nothing to do.
b. John sends back Kyle back to kill the T-800 creating a 4th new timeline, a t-800 to fight the t-1000, if young John is still alive, creating a 5th timeline, 6 in total, counting the original timeline where no one time traveled.
c. The "older" timelines are not destroyed, they continue on and adventures had in the new timelines do not change the old timelines because they are not connected.
d. Kathryn Brewster sent the T-800 back to rescue John in T3 from a timeline that originated from the events of t2. John was killed before he could send Kyle back, or Skynet got control of the time machine many years later briefly. Or Katherine who sent the T-800 back to 2003, was at odds with a Skynet from a parallel timeline who never lost control of the time machine, which is more like sliding than time traveling
That's true though I think the thing that really pisses people off most is still not letting the original trilogy before the special editions come to Blu Ray and of course Han not shooting first. Still I do think some new respect in light of the Sequels has come back and even then the idea I think seems kind of disrespectful to erase anything he did while alive because he did start it all and everything.
I mean, that's been an ongoing issue prior to the Disney acquisition. Lucas doesn't regard the OT the same way as fans and never will. He regards them, at best, as "unfinished," which is something I commonly see with artists. So, to him, the Special Edition is closer to what he wanted, and that's just his view. Secondarily, this newfound respect for the PT doesn't some how make up for the amount of hate Lucas took when the PT came out. Again, extremely violent rhetoric was used to describe what Lucas had done to Star Wars. This idea that some sort of pushback will cause LFL to give up on the ST is something that I think ignores the vast majority of LFL history.
Consider using spoiler tags.
The closest analogue in Star Wars would be the decanonization of the "Legends" EU. But yeah, they've never rebooted live action.
Just think of it... House Palpatine and House Skywalker united by marriage.
What is the life span of an Ewok?
60 years or 6000 years?
The Ewok movies are about Wicket, who was in Return of the Jedi.
If Lucas had his way the Holiday Special would cease to exist.
You know I watched that special for the first time ever this past Christmas season. Not sure why I didn't watch earlier. I am guessing it was harder in the past to watch. This year I just watched it on Youtube.
I found it boring like many have said and really goofy but so very 70's. I can see why they felt people would want to see it.

It never had a home media release. You needed to know someone who recorded it off the original broadcast.
