This might be a controversial opinion but I actually think Star Wars fans using terms like "Filoniverse" or "Mandoverse" as if they're somehow separate from the rest of Star Wars canon is fucking stupid cause like that's just not how "____verse" is supposed to be used. Where I come from we use names like that for franchises that have big multiverses with multiple continuities to tell them apart. Star Wars canon does not have and will never have a multiverse no matter how bad some people seem to want it to for some reason. It's all one continuity there is simply no need for it.

#those kinds of nicknames are mostly used by the dc and marvel fandoms #timmverse snyderverse raimiverse yostverse etc etc #to a lesser extent you sometimes see it in other fandoms like transformers with terms like bayverse #but that's cause those are all their own separate continuities with their own versions of the characters #and thus it makes sense to have a convenient name to distinguish them from one another and make it clear which one you're talking about #but that kind of nickname is simply not required for disney's star wars canon #it's all the same universe with the same versions of the characters #there is no need to arbitrarily separate this specific group of shows from the rest of the canon that they're part of it makes no sense #shut up tristan
