![]() Not every shounen could escape its role to become Fullmetal Alchemist nor should it be required to. With all that being said, couldn't a shounen that operates within the realm of its genre commonalities be allowed to revel in it, even if it may air on the side of self-indulgence at times? I say it should. ![]() ![]() So why then is that benefit not allotted to shounens for being just that a shounen? What I’m trying to say, in more words or less, is if a shounen isn't allowed to be a shounen without being reprimanded, what purpose does it even serve anymore? If a shounen isn't allowed to be about the fundamental fight between good and evil, with said fights being carried out through the proxy of colorfully decorated personalities, then at what point does it cease to make sense for it to even be made at all? Or better yet, why bother to scrutinize it for doing what that genre has been predicated on since its inception? At what point does valid criticism capsize towards the side of pointless nitpicking? You won't always discredit comedies for having situational humor nor will you shame an action movie for delivering on its promise of cool fights and chase scenes. a shounen in such restrictive terms, to begin with. But if you did decide to adopt that approach, that then calls into question the very essence of critiquing And if you were to choose that stance, defendants would be hard-pressed to argue against it. Or something to the effect of its story being recycled. To make broad statements about the characters themselves being repackaged personalities with only a fresh coat of paint and appearance to their name. It's easy to point the finger at Boku No Hero Academia and label it as just one and the same as any other shounen that populates the medium.

We'll wait until we have more information (and can actually watch them!) to place them on these lists - but we're tracking all of them in our guide to the upcoming Star Wars movies & TV shows.Īnd while it's still fresh, it's highly recommended you read up (or refresh your memory) on the recent The Mandalorian season 3 finale and Bad Batch season 2 finale as they both tie in many elements of Star Wars history - and is setting the stage for what comes next.Įverything on this list can be found on Disney+ or on whichever physical media copies you have! Instead, Visions gives fans a chance to see the Star Wars universe through a different lens.Īs for upcoming movies and TV series, in most cases we do not know exactly where they fit beyond being in certain ages. ![]() Visions is also not a part of the canon, despite being released in 2021. Micro-series, such as Blips, Forces of Destiny, and the shows on the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel – Galaxy of Adventures, Roll Out, and Galaxy of Creatures, are also not canon but are nice additions for fans of all ages. Therefore Ewoks, Droids, and of course, The Holiday Special, are not a part of the canon. Since Disney’s buyout of Star Wars in 2012, anything made after the buyout and including the movies made prior to the buyout (Episodes 1-6) and The Clone Wars are considered canon. It is also crucial to note that some things are no longer considered canon, but rather, are considered 'Legends' (previously known as the extended universe). These years are then broken down further with BBY-ABY dating system – "Before the Battle of Yavin" and "After the Battle of Yavin." The Battle of Yavin is best known to most people as the Battle of the Death Star when said Death Star was destroyed in Episode 4: A New Hope. We have also noted the in-universe years – also known as the Galactic standard calendar – for when these movies and shows take place on the Star Wars timeline. You will need to plan out your viewing with this in mind. It should also be noted that The Clone Wars was released out of order in its initial run, and Disney+ has not put it in canon order. Watching them in release order is fun (and easy), but breaking the series down into canonical order elevates your viewing experience, and can help you appreciate the Star Wars universe on a whole new level. For sake of ease, in this piece, we’ll be focusing on the movies and television shows – live-action and animated – and how to watch them in canonical order. This is a great question and one that, honestly, could take days to answer. After decades as a movie series, the Galaxy Far, Far Away that is Star Wars is beginning to look pretty crowded, with no less than four live-action spin-off TV series in the past four years alone… But how does the extended universe fit in with the movies most people are familiar with?
