Someone explain both Legends and Canon in debates.
Whenever I see a post, saying both Canon & Legends allowed...I'm not really understanding how this fits.
There are a few things wrong with saying both Canon and Legends allowed.
1. Events, some events just don't add up. None of what Vader does in Rebels or the Novels, can really fit into Legends because he's doing something completely different within the Legends timeline.
So none of those events can possibly happen and thus I don't see how they can be used.
Another example, The A-wing doesn't come about until after the Battle of Yavin, even with the R-22 Spearhead, those came shortly before it.
Yet in Rebels, the A-wing is already being used by Rebel forces.
2. Characters. Probably the biggest thing here, Aurra Sing in Canon isn't a Jedi anymore, she's just a Bounty Hunter. Legends has her as a former Jedi and Bounty Hunter, yet she clearly isn't within Canon.
Wedge Antilles is gonna be a former TIE pilot in Canon, whereas in Legends he wasn't.
Vader's prime in Legends was ROTJ, yet Canon it's apparently Rebels.
Grevious in Legends is a death machine, yet Canon he's not.
You see where I'm going with this.
If both sides are being used here....how does this work exactly? If you say then that Canon just overrides Legends...then what's the point of including Legends material?
This would just make anything Vader did null and void before TFU right? Or possibly after?
This would also completely make anything Grevious did in Legends pointless, because as of Canon he's portrayed nothing like that.
The same with Sing as she's not even a former Jedi in Canon.
Sooo...can someone explain this whole throwing in Canon & Legends in the same battle here??
You can have Legends Vos vs. Canon Vos, Legends Obi-Wan vs. Canon Vader and stuff like that, but using both at the same time just fails.

You apply logical assumptions. Like the fact that Grievous was overconfident against the Gungans and learned from that mistake. Like the fact that he lost to Ventress on a DS nexus. Like the fact that Fisto had an advantage well suited to facing Grievous's multiple blades and that he'd been injured beforehand. Etc.
Well Grevious in Legends, always seemed like...well he wasn't one to be an idiot and just dilly dally..or from what I've read.
Well I was meaning more Rebellion era Luke, his Canon incarnation doesn't really fit well with his Legends....before his training with Yoda I mean. Or at least that's what I'm seeing.
But see, if they contradict, I don't see why they have it both Canon & Legends apply when the Legends half would have to be disregarded for a lot of things.
