Star Wars Fans "OFFICIALLY" discredit Bioware's Star Wars: The Old Republic

I read that and this popped into my head.

So lets get this straight.

First have have people who are wondering wether or not SWTOR is cannon with the decision that disney made.

Then we had people make many threads about it.

And now apparently a Wiki run by fans (as in not official by any means, they could call the movies non canon if they want) claim that SWTOR isn't cannon.


The simple fact is that there is no debate to be had. We don't know and the only people that can say wether or not SWTOR (and and all of the story Bioware made) is cannon or not either simply don't know are are not talking. (And I don't mean Bioware, they may not even know)

The new owners of the IP are taking control of it and preparing it for the new direction they intend.

In other news, the sky is blue. Details at 11.

The funny thing is, they acknowledged that:

What about...?

...

Certain sources previously released as Expanded Universe material remain unclear as to whether they are now considered to be canon. Based on statements made by Lucasfilm senior editor Jennifer Heddle and Del Rey publishing, Wookieepedia considers the following. This section may require updating as Lucasfilm releases new updates.

...

Heddle assumes that the Old Republic era is non-canon, but she notes "that's something we've wondered ourselves" and that "I guess we'll see." She also assumes the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is non-canon, but she is uncertain, since the game is still ongoing.

Wookieepedia is just sensibly stating the facts, and defining a policy, smart move.

lol... worth the look

There sure is a lot of people getting their panties in a bunch about a silly old canon.

Most pirates use RPG's these days anyway.

There's a lot of text, but I'm not sure I really read anything.

I think it basically summarizes as:

"Everything that's not the 7+ films and Clone Wars is now Legends and not part of official canon, but still considered part of the Star Wars expanded universe of legitimate Star Wars stories."

aka what we already knew.

Right?

It's an outrage. An outrage I tell you. I'm so mad right now, I even shook my fist at the monitor. So mad.

Heddle is a book publisher representative, who probably has very little interaction with other aspects of the canon.
And she even claims it herself, she has no clue about the state of the game and just makes assumptions, just like she makes assumptions about the entire Old Republic era (which is basically everything before movies, or at least 1000BBY).

The best thing to do would be directly asking the Story Team members, which nobody did or have not received any response so far.
From what we know, that entire team is listed in this game's credits screen as of GSF expansion. Which probably means they are aware of the game and that BioWare works with them to make this game part of the new unified canon.
