Does it bother anyone else that canon stories outside the movies always end up being irrelevant to the big picture?


For example, Fallen Order ends with the Empire not getting their hands on a holocron...they already didn’t have. The status quo for galaxy doesn’t change at all. What about Cal Kestis, who is a solidly competent and powerful Jedi by the end of the game. Are we supposed to assume he died before the Rebellion properly got on its feet? Because otherwise, he would have been a pretty powerful asset to their cause.Back in the Legends/EU era, characters would become insanely powerful (ex. Kyle Katarn) and it made sense why the larger canon would ignore them. But now with the streamlined Disney canon I wish they would do more to make these side stories feel impactful and relevant.The only case where this doesn’t bother me is The Mandalorian, because so far it’s a very entertaining self-contained story, and as Baby Yoda would still be very young at the time of TFA, I really don’t expect to see him influence the larger canon anytime soon.Anyone else feel this way? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2OFy6dc
