They play in a show, in movies, etc., but all of these things are just roles for them. They are part of the real world (but with plenty of poking fun at this concept, of course). | |

| Mar 22, 2021 at 12:22 | comment | added | Pete Kirkham | Given that Luke Skywalker was a guest on the muppet show (as opposed to Mark Hamill appearing as himself like most of the guests), if there was a canon it would have to include all of the Star Wars canon too. | |
