SWM-Canon (Star Wars Minute Canon), also known as M-canon (Minute canon), are stories and ideas that are not canonical in the larger Star Wars universe, but are commonly accepted by the hosts and/or the listeners of Star Wars Minute.


Star Wars (1977)

New Hope

The name of the first movie to come out was originally just Star Wars, so that is how it is canonically referred to on Star Wars Minute.

Ben Kenobi is a killer

This is also known as the "Kenobiist" theory. It is well known that Ben Kenobi is a filthy liar (see ROTJ Minute 47) and is not above manipulating the situation to achieve his aims. To ensure that Luke would join him and learn the ways of the force, Kenobi killed not only the Jawas, but perhaps the Lars family as well. Guest Mars Wong mentioned that he is a Kenobiist.

Luke's nickname is "Wormie"

On Tatooine, Luke's friends at the Tosche station called him "Wormie" as a derogatory nickname. This is from the former Expanded Universe (now Star Wars Legends), but it is still canon among Star Wars Minute hosts and listeners. The headline of the local Tatooine newspaper after Luke destroyed the first Death Star was "Wormie Wins Big" according to Pete in Minute 112.

Peet N'Alex

Boba Fett interrogated a moisture farmer on Tatooine as to Luke Skywalker's whereabouts. Although not named in the new (Disney) canon, former guest Jordan White stated that his name would be Peet N'Alex, in honor of the hosts of Star Wars Minute.

"Sand People"

"Sand People" is a racist term for Tusken Raiders used by the human inhabitants of Tatooine. "Tusken Raiders" may itself be a racist term for the indigenous people of Tatooine, also known as the "Native Tatooiners"

Luke didn't blow up the Death Star

When Ben Kenobi told Luke to "let go" during the trench run, he meant literally, "let go of the controls. You can't do this; let me do it for you."

Holiday Special (1978)

Everything in the Holiday Special is officially SWM-Canon. No exceptions.

Kashyyyk

Despite how it is spelled, the homeworld of the Wookiees is pronounced "Kah-ZOOK" according to the Holiday Special.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Permanent residents

The Rebels had to leave a lot of equipment and droids when they evacuated Hoth. The also left behind an intoxicated General Rieekan, which is why he doesn't appear in the rest of the trilogy.

Return of the Jedi (1983)

Luke and Leia are not siblings

Yoda never goes right out and tells Luke that Leia is his sister. Obi-Wan mentions that Luke has a sister, and Luke jumps to the conclusion that it is Leia, when in fact she is in another part of the galaxy safely anonymous.

"The Force" does not exist

Fifty percent of the SWM crew believe that "The Force" isn't real, that it's all a bunch of simple tricks and nonsense[1]. Examples of this include Darth Vader pulling Han's gun from his hand using magnets, and The Emperor shocking Luke using electricity from a generator hidden beneath his robes.

Force-Swimming

Dead Jedi, as force ghosts, cannot just appear wherever they wish - they have to swim from place to place. Ben Kenobi was unable to help Luke in his fight with Darth Vader because by the time he was able to swim there it would be all over[2].


Special Editions

What? They came out with digitally remastered editions to the Original Trilogy? Never heard of 'em. Definitely not canon.

The Phantom Menace (1999)
