I loathe the obsession with canon in comics, SW and ST. LOTR to a lesser extent. Fans freak out if a video game isn’t canon, if a book isn’t canon. This years valentines cards have to be goddamn canon.
And then if it is canon, it always contains key info that only the most hardcore of people even read about (looking at you new SW trilogy!).
When Marvel made the SW EU non-canon a ton of fans lost their #### because it cheapened classic stories like the Thrawn trilogy. I can’t express how hard I rolled my eyes at that level of BS.
What I’m trying to say is waving ones hand and declaring Discovery non canon shouldn’t even be a heated discussion. They should just do it. Same with the JJ reboot. Like who gives a #### if it’s canon. Just wipe the slate clean and do what makes for good TV/movies.
