STAR WARS: "In the wake of the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey, Poe and Finn aren't finished fighting the First Order"
- Thread starter DiipuSurotu
- Start date
This is why I tend to stick with the Clone Wars era novels. Stuff like the Thrawn trilogy, Ahsoka, Dark Disciple, A New Dawn, even Lords of the Sith are all really good & since they deal with an era where most of those characters fates have been decided; they can sort of do whatever they want & have fun introducing new things while enjoying our favorites go on cool adventures.
The novels set after ROTJ or during the new trilogy are ones I really don't care much for because they're all so constrained by the chance these characters might be in a movie or TV show going forward.
Onward comes the Vaazhun Yong, space lizards from the Deep Core who introduce a genophage to wipe out midichlorians.
Rey, Poe and Finn.

Hang on, I feel like something's missing there. I feel like there was some kind of obscure, not-much-talked-about entry in the Star Wars canon where there was another member of the squad. What was her name... Rachel? Roberta? Ro...
Nah, must have been my imagination.

I mean, who knows but logically I'd believe that this won't be the case. There's no way Lucasfilm would allow the first thing post TROS to be shown on Adventures, that'd be ridiculous.
If we see these characters again in the comics, it's gonna be set between TLJ and TROS.
How do you feel about blinged out space otters?
I know it's a meme but you can't get too mad at it, they're clearly just having fun with it instead of making Shadow the Hedgehog styled edgelords of the Star Wars universe.
Disney/Lucasfilm lets IDW do the kids oriented Star Wars comics for some reason. They probably view it as a branding issue. Likewise, Disney publishes the kids Star Wars books through its own label but Del Rey publishes the adult oriented ones.
oh, I didn't realize it was going to be targeted at younger audiences. Will it be canon?
Yep, everything is canon unless it's marked as Legends. But the IDW comics have a sillier tone sometimes, so it's easiest to sort of handwave away the specifics while accepting the general story that's told as canon.
For example, in one of the early IDW comics, Finn tricks Kylo Ren into thinking he's talking to Phasma by putting her helmet on a mop and poking it around a corner.
Even as someone who loves that everything is canon, I'm not sure why they feel like the Adventures comics have to be "canon". More so because they're obviously not treated as such when nothing from them shows up in the books or other comics.
And it's not like the little kids who're read them care that they're "canon". These end up being canon in name only, so I guess in the end it doesn't really matter if they're canon or not.
How else would we get the further canonical adventures of the Graf family?!
