•10 Years on, Star Wars' Rebooted Canon Was a Cultural Reset
65% Informative
Ten years ago this week , the publication of A New Dawn , a prequel novel meant to tie into the then-upcoming Star Wars Rebels, the first TV show made under Lucasfilm ’s ownership by Disneyâofficially launched a revised Star Wars canon.
The new canon also came with a rule the EU had never really played with: everything going forward, including games, comics, books, TV shows, and the newly announced sequel trilogy, would be in narrative lockstep with each other.
Outside of a few specific selections of media, all Star Wars going forward “mattered” to exploring and filling in this newly condensed canon.
The rise of Star Wars continuity reset came adjacent to what was the beginning of the apex of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Every new issue of Marvel’s relaunched Star Wars comic dropped, there came a new “confirmation” of a fundamental, additive factoid to continuity.
The new canon faces a restriction that neither it nor its masters could’ve ever really controlled: a fanbase trained by changing cultural trends to consume media and its canon.
