All the ancillary Star Wars storylines found in books, comics, and pretty much anything not created by George Lucas are about to get a whole lot more uniform. From now on the continuity of the Star Wars universe will be handled centrally by the Lucasfilm Story Group run by Pablo Hidalgo and Leland Chee.
THR sums up the system as, “Everything that happens in the movies counts, and everything that happened in any of the spin-off material, be it games, comic books, novels or television shows doesn’t”.
