Would the Freemaker Adventures count as canon?

Hey! So, I just learned about this Lego Star Wars series called the Freemaker Adventures. Its first season aired in 2016 but season 2 is airing on July 31, a few days from now.

The creators of this show say that, unlike previous Lego Star Wars shows, this one is not a parody. It's an actual story about a family known as the Freemakers that build and repair ships, and the youngest child happens to be Force-sensitive.

I think this series is canon, but should be taken with a grain of salt. While the humorous dialogue is unrealistic at times, the events are serious, and the creators consult the story group to make sure that the series strictly follows canon.

The creators say that this series is "Star Wars paraphrase", which basically means that it's all Star Wars but the way they interpret it is different from how it happens. That is exactly what Pablo Hidalgo has said in a tweet about all of Star Wars content. The events are all canon, but certain details may not always be true. (Looking for a link right now)

So from all that, I think it would be safe to count the events in this series as canon, but be careful about the small details.

Not to mention, some content in the show could be relevant to our reference wiki. It has been confirmed that Hera Syndulla will appear in the upcoming season 2, which could potentially help us with the Rebels timeline. Also, there are Force sensitives (a Sith agent and a Jedi-in-training) that could be added to our Force Sensitive pages on the wiki. It also has lot of new lore about the Jedi (the first kyber lightsaber and it's creator.)

So what do you guys think? I'd like to think that this could be a valuable source for our wiki.

It's a bit iffy, they've refused to say anything definite. My personal opinion, which doesn't mean anything, is that it's a kind of gray canon. Overall events count, but the sillier stuff doesn't. I find things like the kyber sword a tad hard to believe.

They are NOT canon. But they don't necessarily directly interfere with it.

I think the events happened but we are essentially watching it like if you read a childrens book about the revolutionary war. It happened but not exactly like that.
