Actually the right rules make it clear that Canon is the assumed stance if nothing is mentioned.

Really? Doesn't seem to be how any of the forums I go to operate. It seems Legends is always assumed to be what's used, Legends or composite.

Because there's still just so much more to discuss with Legends including the whole KOTOR era.

But Canon is growing stronger by the day and in time Legends will die.

All other material- including nearly all of the old Expanded Universe material- is now NOT part of the new canon, instead being given its own label of 'Legends', which becomes an alternate continuity of its own.

By default, then, we will be keeping with the new Disney canon and all threads will normally proceed on that basis. This means that non-canon sources are not viable things to bring into a discussion- for example, talking about continuity related to Vader's fight with Luke in Splinter of the Mind's Eye (a novel so non-canon that it ended up shunted out of pretty much all interpretations of continuity) would effectively be off-topic and the mods would ask you to stop (with common sense involved of course- if talking about it in humour or just to contrast- in short, anything which knowingly appreciates its non-canon status and not using it to try and make a serious point- is fine)

This comes with a few rules:

- If you want to talk about old Legends continuity, no problem- just make this very clear, either in the thread topic or the opening post. It makes a lot more sense to confine such things to the Literature forum though, as the canonicity of the EU to the films was always debatable.

- Taken from Forum Rules SW

It's in the sticky for the SW Forum rules.

Yeah...after about 30+ years. Plus with the way New Canon material is coming out, it might be awhile anyway.

I doubt Legends is going anywhere any time soon.
