Lit The Jedi Path still is canon?

Short Story: Sorry if these kinds of topics aren't allowed, but this is a question it just popup on my head and I'm feeling terrifying unsatisfied to do not have an answer.

Long Story: I just saw a picture of a guy's SW canon book collection and then suddenly I remembered this book (Which has nothing to do with his collection) and start wondering about its canonicality.
The main reason to not be canon is because the book was released several years before Disney's acquisition (2010 being precise). The main reason to still being canon is because there's nothing being mentioned in Wookiepedia as well it seems to have no point of conflict among the new canon.

The main reason I'm asking this is mainly for clarity, even if recently I'm barely caring for Disney's canonity. But also, I think this might be a good introduction for the Old Republic (Not sure if it's the correct era), but at least to know a bit more of the history of the Jedi pre Phantom Menace.

And yeah, this pretty much explains why I hate TLJ so much, how could Yoda and Luke simply burn years of Jedi history and tradition? No Rian, it wasn't time to the Jedi end (yet).]

English book cover: (Mine's Portuguese)

 

It just seems like you misunderstood the point of the movie TBH. The books weren't in the tree. You see them at the end of the movie in the Falcon. It was a symbolic gesture to help show Luke how wrong he'd been by putting them up on a pedestal.

And no, The Jedi Path is not canon. Even if it fits in with the current Disney canon, that doesn't change.

 

Yeah, it has several legends things, the first off the top of my head being Thame Cerulian and a reference to Xanatos. Still a very cool book though.

 

Absolutely. I got it in the original packaging, and I tell ya, there is nothing cooler as a kid than having that book rise up on a pedestal.

 

I got the book itself, but I loved the signatures in the front and the comments, and tried to think of some comments to add from Jaina, Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca, having just read YJK and thinking that maybe Luke could have given it to them at some point.

Oh, that's another legends thing the book references, Jacen cutting off Tenel Ka's arm.

Edit: My guess is that the most clearly not new canon part would be the article on lightsaber crystals.

 

IIRC Rian Johnson used his own personal copy of the Jedi Path on Twitter or some such to show that Force Doppleganger was a pre-existing Force ability. I could see someone thinking "oh, that means it's Canon now," and tossing it in with the other books.

That person is probably way more relaxed than a lot of us. XD

EDIT: I definitely missed what the original poster actually said. It made sense with the post I imagined in my head, though!

 

How about this: The Jedi Path sits on Expanded Universe canon.

 

To be fair I've found that a lot of these books could still more or less fit into canon especially if you wanna @Sinrebirth One Canon it...Like the Empire Handbook more or less still remains consistent to what we've seen perhaps a few inaccuracies here in their but nothing major.

These books having benefit of being LATE EU editions.

 

The Jedi Path. A page turner, it was not!

 

It may not be a amazing read but it's one of my first purchases and I like it.

 

I enjoyed that old tome. It's now been a decade since it was first published. I have never ventured to meditate five times in one day until I read Jedi Path.

 

Yeah but its not like Yoda said "Page-turners they were not. Yes, yes, yes. Wisdom they held, but that library contained nothing that the girl Rey does not already possess."

Or idk Luke saying "I will not be the Last Jedi"

those lines never happened

 

Yoda was making a point as a teacher. But he was also literally telling Luke that they weren't there. Because Rey already had them. The library literally contained nothing that Rey didn't already possess. That's one of the reasons I love that scene so much. A lot of double meanings and Yoda kind of having fun with teaching Luke a lesson.

 

You wanna know something funny? So in the lead up I was super against the idea of the Jedi ending and I hate the "grey jedi" and "jedi but better in non-distinct ways" thing.

But the film was so masterful with how it really rehabilitated the Jedi and did not throw aside the PT Jedi but rather made their failings part of why they DO epitomize the Jedi truly; that I did not even see the books in the Falcon my first time watching. My biggest worry going in, and yet I did not even notice the physical books survived and I didn't care cause Rian got across what I felt and needed to have reaffirmed in storytelling far more than the books as physical manifestation could.

i love that man

 

Short answer: No.
