First Marvel, and now Phineas & Ferb will be crossing over with Star Wars.

Disney's animated series Phineas and Ferb will head to the Star Wars universe with a special one-hour episode, it was announced Friday by executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy Marsh at Comic-Con.
The episode, which puts the characters of Phineas and Ferb into the same world as Star Wars, will debut in 2014 on Disney Channel and sister network Disney XD. Production has already begun on the hourlong episode.
"May the Ferb Be With You and with all of us for decades have dreamt of a chance to work with the great characters and stories of Star Wars," Povenmire said in a statement.
The episode takes place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away in the summer. Phineas and Ferb are living on Tatooine but find themselves thrown into a global rebellion when the plans for blowing up the Death Star accidentally fall into their hands. They are forced to search for a pilot to take them to the rebels so they can hand over the plans, but Candace chases the two with hopes of retrieving the plans.
On the Death Star, Darth Enshmirtz, a low-level Darth, has created a Force-powered "Sith-inator" that he plans to use against the Rebel Alliance. Agent P, working undercover for the Rebellion, is dispatched to stop him but gets trapped in carbonite. Things take a startling turn when Ferb is accidentally hit by the full blast of Darth Enshmirtz's "inator" and becomes an evil Sith.
 
Time for Disney to pimp out star wars like never before.

That So Darth Revan

Disney putting Star Wars characters in animated cartoons is no more distasteful than literally

ANYTHING

that's happened in the 30+ years of the license being solely under Lucasfilm control.

Also, fixed your example to be more EU accurate :)

Funny thing is that Star Wars was already part of Disneyland/World even before Disney bought Lucasfilm. So yeah... that's his doing there and not Disney's. Did people forget what Lucasfilm did with StarWars over the years?

Made the awesome Clone Wars and the excellent revamp of Star Tours.

So my question is... is it canon?

I don't really care. Seems neat. I've never watched Phineas & Ferb, but it seems like it has a pretty good reputation.
 
I'm honestly shocked Xia hasn't posted in this thread.
totally not a shameless bump or anything :p

This show is the greatest new cartoon I discovered.

It's so weird. The show is a ratings and merchandise powerhouse. A lot of people, including here on GAF, like the show, yet it's never had that "nerd cred" or sense of a big internet following like almost every other cartoon out there.
