X-wings in Star Wars edited over a galactic background

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The modern Star Wars canon began with one of the best possible stories in April 2014. The current Star Wars timeline’s predecessor, formerly called the Star Wars Expanded Universe, was rebranded as Star Wars Legends and, for the most part, discontinued in preparation for the then-upcoming Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Star Wars Legends is as old as the Star Wars movies themselves, with the first Legend-era properties adapting A New Hope before moving on to original stories set in the same continuity as the films. As said by numerous creatives at Lucasfilm, the then-Expanded Universe was officially canon for a time, and retcons were frequently used to maintain a tidy continuity and ensure that every property was legitimate.
