With the Disney deal done, everything that "happened" post Return of the Jedi no longer happened, or exists in some alternate universe, slider's style. Knights of the Old Republic should still be fine, right? It, and the Tales of the Jedi comics from Dark Horse that first introduced that period in Star Wars history, occured thousands of years before ROTJ, so they should be safe?
Not so. The basis of the Tales of the Jedi books came out of a section of end notes in Dark Empire, which took place after ROTJ. Exar Kun, a major character in the TOJ mythos, first appeared as a spirit in the Jedi Academy Trilogy. Those books were also set post ROTJ. It isn't looking good for my favorite era of the Star Wars timeline.
What about Kyle Katarn? Dark Forces was set both before and during the course of Episodes IV - VI, so he has a chance of actually existing. His status as a Jedi is uncertain, as it did not occur until after Return of the Jedi. Does this mean the Valley of the Jedi is still waiting around, untapped, on good old Ruusan?
If Darth Bane is canon, and he probably is since Emperor Palp... I mean Darth Sidious espouses the Rule of Two, that means that the comic series Jedi vs Sith probably had to happen. So, Ruusan is still full.
Or is it? It was originally conceived as part of the plot for Dark Forces 2:Jedi Knight, which took place in the, now contested, post ROTJ timeline. Wouldn't that make it fruit of the poisonous tree?
If Ruusan doesn't exist, and the New Sith War never happened, then it would follow Darth Bane doesn't exist anymore either. Since his Rule of Two was used in the prequel trilogy, is it possible that those movies are no longer canon as well?
That is an interesting trade-off. Sacrifice all of the Tales of the Jedi and Knights of the Old Republic themed material in exchange for striking the prequels from the timeline? I could almost take that deal.
Just thought I'd burn up some of my lunch hour by sharing some pointless ruminations. I am perfectly aware that none of these events happened, as they exist as films, novels, comic books, and games. Now, I'll just head back to my thorazine drip... I mean grilled chicken.
