Does the Disney Star Wars canon need a new name?

[MissKittyFantastico]

New Star Wars is the new Star Wars stuff, after Lucas sold it to Disney and they started making new Star Wars stuff. Really, it's not that complicated.

Talking about what's "canon" in Doctor Who is futile anyway. Every episode takes what it wants and discards what it doesn't, so a random novel from the 80s might count as having happened but we're ignoring last week's episode.

Think I'm gonna start calling it what it is.

The Disney Age.

Everything prior was the Lucas Age.

Does that solve whatever made-up problem picking a new name was supposed to solve?

[Yukaphile]

Well, it's like Golden Age of Comics and Silver Age of Comics.

Yeah, I'm gonna call it that, even though in all strong possibility, Disney will still own Lucasfilm when the next reboot comes. I have no idea what to call that.

I guess 1977 to 2012/2014 would be the Lucas Age, and then we'd call 2012/2014-??? the Kennedy Age, haha. Assuming she is still around for the next reboot.

No, Kennedy died in 1963. What we're in currently would be the Reiwa era.

Kathleen Kennedy.

The late president chose to be known as Jack and use he/him pronouns and we should respect that as Star Wars fans.

So kinda like what Japanese do and have eras named after who is Emperor at that time. Not that it would really work with Presidents mind you since that's mostly 4 year position with being re-elected for another 4 years being rather rare.

The Disney Age.

That just would makes actually existing problem bigger. You know people putting too much emphasis on Disney part of Disney Star Wars while forgetting that it's still made by Lucasfilm.
