Question: Do any of your fandoms suffer from an incomplete or unfinished canon?

Today I moved away from thinking and started doing some research. I'm a big fan of research, so I am enjoying myself.

My fandoms all are complete, thankfully! I had one that was incomplete for a time, but it eventually wrapped up and I was able to finish the WIP I was working on.

The past few days I've only been getting a couple of sentences in around the edges of scenes. I think I need to revisit canon some for a characterization check.

Most of my canons are older works and complete, B5 had a brief spin-off series that was cancelled after 13 episodes, but the show itself was complete and self-contained. Star Wars is kind of the Schrodinger's Cat of completeness, the PT/OT/ST are all technically complete, but the expanded universe keeps adding new plotlines and changing the context of what was seen on screen, which can be frustrating at times. I have a hard time adjusting to an actively changing canon.

None of them are the abandoned kind of incomplete, though.
