Talk:Mickey Mouse

Canonicity
I don't see anything outwardly suggesting this character and his astromech sidekick, R2-MK, are non-canon, aside from their silliness. They released an action figure of both of these characters, along with a specialized Jedi starfighter to accompany the Jedi Mickey character (see Insider 141). We know from Leland Chee that action figures are considered fully canonical. So unless there is an official word on this character of which I'm unaware, I'm removing the non-canon template on both of these articles in the absence of anything saying they aren't canon.

Just as Lego mini-figures are not canon despite the fact they have more accurate, in-universe information attached to many of the products they come as, so it can be assumed on the grounds of common sense that Mickey Mouse does not qualify as a part of this galaxy which is chronicled here. Leland Chee's words are stretched here to suit a malady and silly consideration that is admitted so by the editors responsible for implanting the non-canon. Are we to that Soul Caliber is canon in this galaxy. I think not, in spite of whatever joke articles there may be for people to misinterpret.
 * Leland Chee has a Facebook page where he answers questions and occasionally clears up continuity matters. You're welcome to try and get him to say this is non-canon. Until that happens, we're dealing with information from a perfectly legitimate canonical source, the Star Tours toy line, which makes this character canon unless stated otherwise, despite its ridiculousness. And Soulcaliber is non-canon, so your comparison doesn't work. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:29, May 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to offer some background. I found this Wired article on Leland from 2008. The second video shows Jedi Mickey, though when the camera is pointed at it towards the end, Leland indicates that it, along with Darth Tater and the Soul Caliber game, doesn't belong in continuity. However, to really make a determination of status, someone would need to get an official statement from him specifically stating that Mickey is non-canon. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:57, May 24, 2013 (UTC)
