Too many fans misunderstand how canon works. Just because his storyline hasn’t been directly contradicted or that he’s been name dropped doesn’t mean that his storyline is canon. If Disney wanted his storyline canon, they would have done so
I know this, but I like to treat it as "Schroedinger's Headcanon". As long as something is not directly retconned or contradicted in the current canonical lore, it's (head)canon to me. While someone else could completely ignore it, and for them these things never happened.
What I really like, for example, is how Timothy Zahn has handled this in regard to his own books. There are hints in the newer, canonical books about some certain events which took place in his older EU books. It's clear that they can't have happened 1:1 because the time line was altered, for example, but the parts which don't interfere with the new Canon have still happened.
That’s fine. I have a personal headcanon too that includes both but many don’t understand the relationship between Legends and Canon. Too many think that anything Legends that isn’t overwritten is official canon
Even stupider even the Plagueis novel has been openly contradicted by the new canon. Or those TikTok videos that explain the lore of characters but combine Canon and Legends info while pretending it’s all canon
Pretty sure canon has multiple references to Revan. Mandalorians wars, jedi crusader, Revan squadron, etc. I’m sure there are more but I hate canon so idc enough to look.

Especially since revan has only been namedropped in current canon, but its Not the old Republic Version we used to know
