You are absolutely correct, this canon overrides the canon of the Expanded Universe and nobody is contesting that (Well, I suppose a lot of people actually \'\'are\'\' contesting that because they don\'t like what the show is doing, but not me. Well, okay, I actuallly don\'t like a lot of what the show is doing, either, but I do accept it as canon, and all of my edits reflect that). However, the InNameOnly trope still applies. I wasn\'t sure when I originally added the trope, I didn\'t think it fit to only characters or planets \'\'within\'\' a larger setting, but Uncl Ghost pointed out that the INameOnly page does explicitly cover that.

Anyway, the canonicity of this show and the expanded universe is not relevant to the InNameOnly trope. The trope is not \\\"People got it wrong\\\" or \\\"Official canon is different,\\\" but \\\"something is being used that originated elsewhere and only matches that first thing in very superficial ways (Like the name).\\\" George Lucas has every right to cange details like these, and for all I know he had these details mapped out in his head long before any EU novels or comics were written, but as it stands a lot of these details, like the natue of Ryloth or Greedo\\\'s history (Although I have to point out I never liked Greedo\\\'s history in the EU anyway, and the story that is was described in was, itself, an InNameOnly depicition that violated already-established canon, but that\\\'s neither here nor there), did first appear in the EU and do not resemble their original description in anything except name. That\\\'s InNameOnly by definition. It doesn\\\'t mean these depictions are \\\'\\\'wrong\\\'\\\' or that the first depictions are \\\'\\\'right\\\'\\\', it doesn\\\'t mean that they are irrevocably canon because they came first, it just means that they used to be one way and now, for whatever reason, they are a different way.
