“the canon is the canon, and the canon is the six films that exist.” ~Simon Kinberg
"Right now there aren't any plans to include Clone Wars characters like Ahsoka or Rex in the new series." ~ Dave Filoni
I am wondering if there is an implied notion that the only canon will be what Disney wants.
The EU is apparently going to be a source for "inspiration" rather than any kind of gospel. Plus, I had noticed in several blogs and interviews with Filoni that when asked about future stories of Clone Wars characters, he has cryptically commented that this would be a chance for fans to "Write the stories themselves".
Maybe my imagination is unjustified in assuming, but I'm beginning to wonder if Disney is scrapping Clone Wars from any sort of official canon as well as the EU. Dave has stated that there will be no connection between Clone Wars characters and Rebels, and there are no hints of any stories being concluded except with the Darth Maul Arc in Dark Horse comics.
I could be wrong or maybe just jumping ahead of the horse and carriage with these assumptions, but it's beginning to feel like Clone Wars is about to be shuffled off the official history.
IF it is true and TCW is declared non-canon, I can only imagine the good and bad implications this will have for fans.
Again, I am just thinking out loud and trying to surmise what it all is leading to.
On the plus side, it is a door opening for all kinds of fan fiction inspiration perhaps, something to be taken advantage of for those who were either unsatisfied by Lucas' vision with TCW, or those who loved TCW but now might never see the future adventures of their favorite characters like Ahsoka and Rex.

I really should post now
With apologies, I have been away for a long time doing marriage/adulting things. Every time I want to write a journal with an update, I either get distracted by the real world or I just get a little depressed and stop. My wife and I got another dog back in September, so we've been busy taking care of three dogs and working. I haven't had time to write, but lightning may have struck this week so I am toying with an idea. So, getting caught up, I want to say: 1) RIP Carl Weathers. You will be missed. You were awesome in Rocky and Predator, and loved your character from the Mandalorian. 2) Mandalorian Season 3 was Ok, had a lot of potential that I felt was wasted. Christopher Lloyd could have been a great long term villain from the Separatists, but I liked Bo Katan's evolution. Still, I get a little tired of Filoni challenging expectations but there ya go. I don't think I am a fan of his "Campfire" style of storytelling. 3) Watched the Ahsoka show. It had some good and bad
RIP
Ray Stevenson (Baylan Skoll of the Ahsoka show) Passed away suddenly from an illness :(
Happy 4th to you all :)
May you keep loving whatever part of Star Wars is your personal Jam :) Star Wars - A Tribute - YouTube
Star Wars Celebration
I watched the live stream of Star Wars celebration, and was reluctant to write my feelings. Just been very busy training a large puppy and doing adulting things. I've never been much interested in 85% of the stuff they show from Celebrations every year. Not interested in the products they are selling, most of the interviews I don't care about, etc. I tend to be more interested in the cosplays, and any revelations of movies, streaming series, animated projects, the characters that will either return to future projects or be brought into canon, etc. So far, I am cautiously curious for: Andor Season 2 Tales of the Jedi Season 2 Mandalorian Season 3 and the potential of Season 4 Visions Season 2 The Ahsoka series I am mildly curious for Bad Batch Season 3, The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew, time will tell if they are good. Bad Batch has like 3-4 really good episodes (Everything involving Crosshair and the Admiral Rampart conspiracy against the clones, etc. It was cool to see

When I heard those news I started to become worried.
I can understand if the crew doesn't want to use characters from TCW if they have no use for them and don't want to shoe horn them in.
But to go and retcon the show(if it's true) it's kind of stupid IMHO. The show is not just another tie in cash in show. There was a lot of money and effort put in it and to go and retcon it because "it's secondary canon" it's pretty much a slap to the face to the people who worked on the show and the fans who invested in the show. Are they declaring it non-canon to satisfy the man children nostalgiatards(yes they exist) that didn't like the show? Is it because it's made by WB and Disney doesn't want to do anything with them?
I really hope this isn't true. But if it is then it really leaves a pure and true sour taste in the mouth.
