So, I’m, trying to get into the Star wars books, and like, there’s this big division between what is and is not canon, so I’ve decided to make it even worse.
All star wars books, movies, shows, and comics are canon.
But some of them are fictional.
Basically, what this means is that all the canon books are canon to the universe and are events that actually happen, while non canon are fictional works created in the canon universe. Sometimes portraying real people.
An example in this universe would be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Even though Abraham Lincoln was a real person, he was not a vampire hunter. Hamilton the musical is another.
So whenever someone says a book about Yoda isn’t canon, that those events didn’t happen, I just imagine there’s someone living in Bespin who wrote a book about Yoda after hearing a news report about him being almost 900 years old.
