Does Canon Matter? Part 2 – Star Wars

Behold the Destroyer of the 4th Wall, She Who Breaks Reality With Her Song of Farewell!

Here’s the second part of my epically long pseudo-rant about continuity and canon in popular media.

I love Star Wars, but in this episode I talk about why I think it’s best to err on the side of caution when chatting about its canon with fellow fans. For many folks, Star Wars is a build-your-own-canon situation, and I talk about dealing with that. I also misattribute a quote by Jebediah Orne to Old Man Whateley, but neither of those are Star Wars characters, so I’ll just try to play it cool and think of it as a social experiment.

My apologies in advance to any repressed emotional trauma the picture accompanying this entry might evoke.
