Disney's shared canon (potential spoilers for E8 and Rebels)
9 years ago
MUH FRANZ: 
And many more~ 
So, I've decided to keep a running list of what Rebels and the Disney trilogy canonize from the Legends EU into the Disney EU; so that I can make predictions for upcoming additions to the franchise. Figured I'd post it here as well; for the benefit of any fellow Star Wars fans.
• Rebels episode 'The Protector of Concord Dawn' canonized Mandalorians training Clone Troopers. This fact greatly increases the chances of the Republic Commando/Imperial Commando books and Republic Commando video game being canon. Hooray for the return of Kal Skirata and the rest?
• Rebels episode 'Legends of the Lasat' has apparently canonized the Dawn of the Jedi book line. This line takes place before the formation of the Republic; over 25000 years Before the Battle of Yavin IV (BBY). This is because in the episode; a character referred to an aspect of the Force as 'Ashla'. In DotJ; the aspects of the Force are originally named after the two moons of Tython; Ashla and Bogan. With Ashla representing the light side; and Bogan the dark. I don't know what this could potentially bring the series; but it is nonetheless significant.
• In the novel 'Aftermath', it is implied that Boba Fett may be alive. I say this because "Sometime after the Battle of Endor, a seemingly acid-corroded yet complete set of Mandalorian armor somehow ended up in storage in a Jawa sandcrawler on Tatooine. A man named Adwin Charu, who was on the sandcrawler looking for goods on behalf of his employer Lorgan Movellan, happened upon a crate containing the armor. Before he could take it, however, Cobb Vanth, a local man who had assisted in gaining Charu access to the sandcrawler, shot Charu in the shoulder and took the armor for his own." There is no mention of acid HOLES in the armor, implying that the man who was in the armor was not melted into a fine soup. Before you argue that the undersuit of Boba's armor wasn't beskar'gam... Beskar isn't yet canon to the Disney EU. And besides; in the old EU; Boba's armor plates were made up of reinforced durasteel; NOT beskar. So; in Disney canon; Boba's baggy armor could just be a different class of Mandalorian armor than what other Mandalorians like Jango Fett and Pre Vizsla wore. Boba could have ditched his old armor due to irreprable acid scoring on the armor plates. To a Mandalorian; his armor is as important as his very LIFE. A scar on it is equivalent to a scar on their very pride. Therefore, Boba abandoned his old armor to get a new one, to erase and throw away the mistakes of his past. This is supported by, strangely enough, the new Star Wars Battlefront game. In the Battle of Jakku DLC; the Slave I is a pilotable craft. The Battle of Jakku was a pivotal battle that took place AFTER THE BATTLE OF ENDOR. In other vessels, you can see into the Slave I's cockpit. Boba Fett is flying it. This can be presumed because the actor texture maps are of a high enough resolution to see that the Mandalorian piloting the craft is indeed wearing Boba's armor. It can be presumed that it is actually Fett; as there is no discernible acid scoring on the armor.
• Ahsoka's presence in Rebels confirms the CGI Clone Wars cartoon as canon; which in turn had taken aspects from the older storyboard Clone Wars cartoon. This means that both Maul and Asajj Ventress are still out there.
»»• Rebels season 2 finale confirmed Maul is still alive; and fighting the Empire in his own way. Ventress's fate is still unknown however.
• CGI Clone Wars canonized the Mandalorian Deathwatch; an elite group of Mandalorians who are dedicated to preserving the traditional ways of the Mandalorians; rather than becoming mere highly-skilled mercenaries.
• CGI CW being canon means that the Father, Daughter, and Son are all canon. Which could potentially lead to a certain false Celestial becoming canon... The so-called 'Mother'; Abeloth.
• CGI CW canonized Ilum being a primary source of lightsaber crystals. It is unknown at this time what happened to Ilum in the Galactic Civil War.
• Quinlan Vos appeared in CGI CW. It is unknown if his actions in the Dark Horse CW comics are canon; but if they are... Quinlan Vos is alive; at least between Episodes 3 and 4.
• Darth Revan was slated to appear alongside Darth Bane as an adviser to the Son during the events of the 'Ghosts of Mortis' CGI CW episode. He was removed at George Lucas's request because it conflicted with Lucas's view on the Force. It is unknown at this time whether he will line up with Disney's; and if he will become canon once more. However; Darth Bane, the creator of the Rule of Two; most certainly IS. Revan's character model for CW before his appearance was trashed: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net.....20150414050653
»»• As well, Revan is canon due to the existence of Malachor V in Star Wars Rebels.
• SWTOR is still active. It is unknown at this time how much of the events that occur in the MMORPG will make it into Disney canon.
• CGI SW events involving Maul and Savage Opress canonized the existence of the Black Sun criminal syndicate. It is unknown what role, if any, they will play in the Disney trilogy.
• Disney released a mobile strategy game called Star Wars Commander. Among other things, it canonizes the existence of the Chiss.It is unknown at this time if Grand Admiral Mith'raw'nuruodo will return, however. Grand Admiral Thrawn is slated to return in Season 3 of Rebels.
• The Shadow Bombs used by Jedi StealthXs may make a return. In Rebels episode Homecoming; Ezra took down a Star Destroyer by Force Throwing a powered-down TIE Bomber out of the cargo bay of a Quasar Fire-class Cruiser-Carrier/Imperial Light Carrier that him and the rest of the crew of the Ghost were capturing. The TIE was filled to the brim with explosives; both in its payload and the crew area. This can be seen as a VERY rough proof-in-concept of the Shadow Bombs that were used in the Legends EU.
And of course, the obvious: E7 confirmed Han and Leia as an item. Well, at least, until... DAMN YOOOOOOOOU; HARRISON FORD!!
(To be updated as things arise. Feel free to leave comments about things I may have missed.)
