Halo: CE Legendary ending

Im not sure if this belongs categorized as Halo universe. Why did Sgt. Johnson die in the legendary ending of CE by the Autumn’s explosion? Obviously he survived so is this just supposed to be for fun, or a mistake because they hadn’t planned ahead? I would think both since it shows him hugging an elite and more XD. What do you guys know about this?

It’s a non-canon joke ending.

“It’s classified!” - Sgt. Johnson

What does canon mean?

Probably he left Halo after the first encounter with the Flood. Captain Keyes might have told him to run away while they were fighting against the parasite. By doing that, Johnson might escaped to a nearest station to tell what happened. When he returned with reinforcement, Halo had already being destroyed.

content which is officialy acknowlegded by the author.

It’s just a joke, Johnson would have been on a pelican at that point.

I’m sure it was just a joke. But also keep in mind that when CE was made there were no plans for a sequel.

Basically whether an event actually happened in its respective story line.

But yes, that Legendary ending was just a non-canon Easter Egg.

As others have mentioned it was simply a non canon ending intended to be a joke.

He escaped the ring on a Pelican with a handful of others, but they never left the system.

It was there as a joke, obviously non-canon.

Johnson grabbed the elites bum at the end

Just look up a summary of ‘Halo: First Strike’ if you want to know more about the events after the Autumn exploded.

^^^ What they said, and I’ll go a step further and say read the book if you can, it’s very very good. It details an entire adventure for the Chief along with Johnson in between CE and Halo 2. I liked it a lot.
