Star Wars

[Otis McNutt 395]

the guard doesn't make sense though because the guard's innermost part is the vulnerable metally part...

Not if the entire light saber hilt is made of Mandalorian Iron.

Or cortosis. But who can say if those are still canon.

Obligatory "everyone is arguing about the plausibility of something that was already impossible to begin with" statement

Okay but

Exactly!

Wait, so, canon has changed? I know the EU used to be canon. It definitely operated on a tiered structure with the movies as highest, but something in the books was canon as long as it didn't contradict something in the movies. I just assumed the tier system would say the same but any books that contradict stuff said in the new movies would simply be non-canon.

Just think of it like this. The EU got thrown in a barrel. When they need something from the EU barrel they'll grab it and fit it into something new. Otherwise everything after the cut off point, Rebels, and Clone wars are all canon

I had to google EU because I kept reading it as "European Union"
