Expanded Universe (EU)

The Expanded Universe (EU) refers to the additional stories, characters, and settings created beyond the main narratives of a fictional universe, particularly in franchises like Star Wars or Marvel. This content can include books, comics, video games, and television series, which expand on the original storylines and offer deeper insights into the characters and worlds. In many cases, the EU is considered non-canonical, meaning it exists outside the official storyline. However, it enriches the overall experience for fans by providing more context and exploring different aspects of the universe.
