Retconning Star Wars Legends

The Star Wars Expanded Universe is being rebooted. Almost every Star Wars book, comic, or other non-movie story that has come out in the past 37 years, has been declared non-canon. Instead, these stories will be grouped under the imprint “Star Wars Legends”. As of now, only the Star Wars movies, Clone Wars tv series, and upcoming books are considered Star Wars canon.

And there’s nothing we can do about it.

Or is there?

I’ve been thinking what to do with the collection of books & comics I have built up over the years. My bookshelf suddenly seemed a lot less interesting, because of the contents not being part of official Star Wars Canon any more. “There must be a way for these works to have a more jusified reason for existence” I thought by myself. The idea that the existing stories would not be dumped, but instead labelled as “Legends” inspired me. A few ideas to retcon the already published stories sprang to mind.

Here’s the first one.
