This won’t come as a shock to die-hard “Star Wars” fans, but some of the classic “Star Wars” canon went out the window when Disney took over the franchise. The latest example of this has caused a bit of a war between fans after one character’s Wookieepedia page was altered. This week, “The Acolyte” re-introduced the character of Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, who originally appeared for a grand total of just over two minutes in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy.
Here’s where things get real:
- In 2003, back when Lucasfilm was in charge, a trading card said that Mundi was 70-years-old
- The events in “The Acolyte,” however, “take place around forty years prior to that original birth year for Mundi.”
- Someone has updated Mundi’s Wookieepedia page to account for this…causing a great disturbance in The Force
- On X, Lucas Star Wars Girl even went as far as to say, “He wasn’t born until 40 years AFTER the events of The Acolyte but they put him in the show and made him a traitor. Absolute f…ing disgrace and an insult to George (Lucas).”
- Apparently, one of Mundi’s prequel lines stating that the Jedi have been “extinct for a millennium,” but yet he’s “alerted to a threat to the Jedi” in “The Acolyte.” So, the show’s producers have made Mundi “a liar” and have once again “broken canon”
Other complaints concerning the issue have taken over the “Star Wars” corner of X, and have even gotten some fans blocked by Wookieepedia.
