What's your favorite SW character?

[Amarok]

I think being referenced in the movies help

But people were raging that such-and-such a director destroyed canon.  

Last i checked the complaint against the prequels were not that they broke cannon but that they simply sucked . As for the Disney cannon as I said some of the events are mentioned in the official cannon book Tarkin and as the Prequels are still cannon .The main complaint about Disney is they got rid of the extended universe but all of the clone wars lore is still cannon which is were novel takes place  it's safe too assume events took place pretty much the same .
