The mere notion of porting anything from Star Wars EU/Legends into the Ace Combat universe frightens me xD

The thing is, Ace Combat isn't nearly as complex of a universe/franchise as Star Wars. Star Wars now has a dozen movies in addition to television shows, video games, books and novelizations, comics, and more. The Star Wars community is well-versed in a lot of these additional materials, sometimes more so than the films themselves, and then the films end up borrowing specific elements from all of those outside materials.

Ace Combat has none of that, and I don't think I'd be wrong in assuming that the vast majority of people who experience Ace Combat strictly play the games and nothing else. If this were a more complicated situation where we can't easily say "the latest overwrites the oldest", then I'd agree with you on putting together some kind of canon tier system. But honestly, AP:Canon works well enough under the core "everything is canon unless contradictory" philosophy. If you want to discuss changes to AP:Canon, feel free to start a discussion on its talk page or on the forum, but I don't think it's necessary to start overcomplicating things.
