User blog comment:Kintobor/''The Last Jedi'' is not part of ''Star Wars'' canon/@comment-25008763-20180614040657

it is canon but is doesn't have to be "fanon" - this is how reasonable people tend to sort insane franchises with millions of canon stories that they may not like.. such as comic books etc.. or Doctor Who.. or Star Trek.. the longer a franchise is around the more there's going to be parts of canon you dislike but declaring something non-canon is not something anyone other than a creator of a work can do.. you simply refuse to accept the canon and go by "fanon", that makes life easier for everyone really.
