On the occasion of Disneyland's Season of the Force Star Wars event, we investigated how the lore from the parks fits with the rest.

When Disney created Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at its theme parks, the aim was to let fans step into Star Wars . This happened both literally, by people moving their bodies through the area, but also figuratively, because everything happening in the land took place in the overall Star Wars canon. At least, that was the aim when Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019.

But for that one percent who are hardcore into keeping Star Wars true to its canon, Lucasfilm does have an explanation, which io9 discovered last week. Disney invited io9 to attend the kick-off to Season of the Force, an event at Disneyland with all sorts of new Star Wars excitement. There, we got a chance to pose this question to Lucasfilm’s Matt Martin, one of the employees whose job is to keep everything Star Wars cohesive in the games, comics, theme parks and more.
