A new Star Wars trilogy is reportedly in development, and with this comes an opportunity for the franchise to change its approach to the Star Wars Legends continuity. Although Legends was mostly discontinued and relegated to an alternate timeline in April 2014, it has had an enormous amount of influence on the modern Star Wars canon, inspiring characters and storylines on a conceptual level in many properties. Modern canon stories also import characters and other forms of lore from the Legends timeline, though the new iterations are usually still reimagined for the current Star Wars timeline.
