Commentary
ANOTHER reason to not directly reference the Star Wars books is, having not read them all, panel one could be wrong for all I know.
I mean, I'd be surprised if one had been established in the Expanded Universe era. I suppose one could argue for a multiverse existing now simply due to divergent official canons.
References
My hope is Justin is amusing enough for this comic to be amusing even if one is not knowledgeable of the series being referenced.
Funnily enough, I don't think either series being referenced is consistent about time travel. It's the norm in Star Trek for time travel to change the future, but then the 2009 movie casually strolled in and was like "oh hey I created a new reality using time travel so everything is still canon deal with it".
Then there's the Back To The Future movies, which are their own rabbit hole of logic regarding how time travel does and doesn't work.
It's not a rabbit hole I've spent much time in, so I'm not actually sure how much I'd agree with Justin (if at all). It's contrary to what the first movie obviously wanted to imply, however, so that's obviously the side of the debate Justin's going with, darn it.

Primary source materia is ONLY the material in the original IP (books, movies, TV shows, games, comics) Secondary source material is all derivative IPs IN THE SAME MEDIUM (examples: spinoff TV shows from a TV show) Tertiary sources are derivative material in different genres (example: books written in movies or TV universes or games published. This includes jumps from movies to TV and the reverse)) Quardenary sources include "tech manuals" and other reference material. The arbiter of what to take and what to leave is personal headcanon. I generally only accept primary source material, rarely secondary material and rarely if ever anything below that. I'm a bit of a purist. But that's the way I run my headcanon. Others are welcome to a different view. It's just they're wrong. :)

I read superhero comics. Canon is only as relevant as the current writer wants it to be. I would think Justin understood this.

Back to the future multiverse? Of course. It's called Rick and Morty.

Seanan McGuire has a story in the new Star Wars universe that involves characters who claim they're from an alternate reality, but everyone is pretty sure they're just con artists.

Looks like the multiverse is canon. ππ€£

Time travel is bad for people who want canon to make any actual sense. Don't care for the stuff, myself.
