Star Wars -sarja The Mandalorianin yksi luojista on Dave Filoni, ja taannoin hän otti kantaa siihen, mikä on sitä niin sanottua oikeaa kaanonia Star Warsissa, ja mikä taas ei ole. Asiasta on keskusteltu sen jälkeen, kun Disney otti ohjat Star Warsista.
Filonin mukaan aikaisemmin asian määrittely oli helppoa, koska George Lucasin kertomat tarinat olivat kaanonia. Asia on sittemmin muuttunut.
"People get into all these debates of what's canon and what's not, and sometimes forget the special nature of telling a good story and creating great characters.
Part of the fan debate in the past always used to be, "What's canon? What's not?" because there was George, and we always knew George was the canon. I look at it very broadly, and I just say there's a love of Star Wars. Because I knew George, I worked with him, and none of us are going to be him. But we love the Galaxy he created, and we're very much a product of it; growing up with it."
