The result of the debate was Adopt proposal. Imperators II(Talk) 09:26, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
OK, so I guess it's time for me to start following up on my long-winded Senate Hall thread here. In three words or slightly more, I propose we update the Canon policy's lists of which Star Wars media are taken by Wookieepedia to be Canon ("What is considered official canon?") and which are Legends ("Reliable resources") to comprehensively cover all the various situations and exceptions for the Star Wars sources out there as pertains to their continuity status on Wookieepedia.
I've decided to approach this by baby steps, so let's start with a hopefully straightforward one, re-releases of Legends media. I propose we modify the "Reliable resources" section of WP:CANON, adding the following sentence as the third-to-last bullet point (right under "Kenner and Hasbro action figures and toys, including packaging descriptions, released prior to the Lucasfilm declaration of April 25, 2014"):
- "All re-releases, remakes, and adaptations, such as Star Wars Insider: The Fiction Collection, The Essential Legends Collection, The Story of the Faithful Wookiee (Little Golden Book), and LEGO Star Wars (Set: 75262 Imperial Dropship - 20th Anniversary Edition), of the abovementioned exclusively Legends resources published following the Lucasfilm declaration of April 25, 2014 and not updated to include information from canon source material"
This would presumably also cover stuff like the upcoming Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake and would not include cases like Star Wars: Complete Locations, 2016 edition (to be covered via a subsequent vote), which was seemingly a straightforward re-release yet was updated for Canon.

- I'm not sure that "re-release" is the right word, maybe remake would be better? Aside from the Insider Fiction Collection, which uses the Legends banner where appropriate anyway, all of the examples are new products inspired by an earlier release, not recreations of them.

- Essential Legends collection is a a re-release, but I agree. It'd be more effective to use the wording of "re-releases and remakes" Commander Code-8 Hello There! 00:20, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Good point, and Faithful Wookiee actually isn't either a re-release or a remake. I've now updated the proposed wording to try and take all of this into account. Imperators II(Talk) 07:20, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
