It is until it isn't, is all I'd say. General audience doesn't give a fuck.
While I agree with you regarding how this used to go, how it's going right now is everything branded Star Wars is canon since the EU wipe. All comics, all games with storylines, all tv shows and obviously all movies. That's the directive in order to get people to buy everything. "It all matters." This is the second time they've brought cartoon characters to the movies, as Rebels had Chopper and Saw Gurrerra cameo in Rogue One, but this is the first one anyone cares about.
Of course if the current regime at Lucasfilm doesn't survive and someone else is brought in, ya I can totally see Senor Spielbergo saying "What? No no Ben is actually Luke and Leia's kid, I don't care what "canon" says."
fuck it
This was better than R1, but not by much. Hope they don't make any more wishful thinking
I thought it was ok. I think the spin-offs have been better than the sequel trilogy so far.
