The Star Wars Expanded Universe

The Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU) encompasses a vast collection of stories, characters, and events beyond the original films. It includes novels, comics, video games, and animated series that explore the galaxy's lore, history, and adventures. Initially created by various authors and creators, the EU provided deeper insights into beloved characters and introduced new ones. In 2014, Disney rebranded the majority of the EU as "Legends," distinguishing it from the official canon, which now includes new films and series. Despite this shift, the EU remains influential among fans and continues to shape the franchise's expansive narrative.
