I was just looking at certain pages (specifically Joruus C'baoth and Grand Admiral Thrawn ), and I realized something. Those characters both come from non-canon books that are part of the Star Wars Legends brand.

Now, fanfiction is defined as a work of literature that tells stories about characters from this or that book, movie, or video game, but is not canon to the source material. This is a prime example. https://www.fanfiction.net/book/Harry-Potter/ (hopefully that link works) Now, I don't know if you know the full story, but the Star Wars Legends started out as Timothy Zahn essentially writing stories about the characters from the original Star Wars trilogy-because he was a fan of those movies and wanted to write stories about those characters. Granted, his books (and all the subsequent ones) were published under authorization by Lucasfilm. But ever since the Disney accquisition, all the Star Wars Expanded Universe material was branded as noncanon. So the books in the Star Wars Legends continuity fit both of the fanfiction criteria-they were written by fans of the original source material, and they are noncanon.

And yes, I know that Grand Admiral Thrawn was reintroduced into the official canon (Star Wars: Rebels, anyone?).
