Jennifer Heddle / Twitter This page records a series of comments made by LucasBooks Senior Editor Jennifer Heddle on Twitter regarding the new canon in the aftermath of the announcement of April 25 , 2014 . Jennifer Heddle via Twitter . Q : So will the new Maul comics based on Clone Wars scripts be considered canon ? < br > JH : Yes . Q : so will we be getting a list of ANY books considered canon ? Maybe Plagueis ? Or is it just the movies , Rebels and Clone Wars ? < br > JH : Movies , Rebels , Clone Wars , and all content ( books , games , etc ) moving forward . But EU still exists as a resource . Q : so no new books are going to be added to the original EU going forward , what ' s there is there and that ' s it ? < br > JH : Correct . ( For now ? Always in motion is the future , etc , etc . ) Q : Nice appearance in the vid . . . did any existing stories make the cut ? Or all new material being created ? < br > JH : Existing stories are there as a resource . But only new stories going forward are part of this " one universe . " Q : What about the Darth Plagueis novel , which seemed very coherent with TCW , and KOTOR ? : ) < br > JH : Book is technically Legends but the character is canon since he was mentioned in the prequels . Q : All right ! And what about the Republic Commando game ? Doesn ' t seem to be incoherent with the movies or TCW at all and was cool : ) < br > JH : Would still be considered " Legends " I suppose but it ' s still a great game ! Q : Vhat about upcoming FFG books ? they are old EU ? while ongoing ? < br > JH : That ' s a million dollar question . ; ) Tricky area . Not entirely sure myself yet . Q : So I guess Tarkin and the other books won ' t mention the previous EU ? And you didn ' t answer for KOTOR : ) < br > JH : There might be people you recognize . Will prob still use planets etc . We ' re not throwing it away . KOTOR = Legends . Q : will any " old " books be incorporated into new canon timeline ? < br > JH : No way to tell what will get pulled from EU going forward . It ' s all there if we want it . Q : Can we assume , though , that they will be individual elements that are pulled and not whole novels / comics < br > JH : That would be my guess but I honestly have no idea . Q : what about TCW tie - in novels like Gambit , or No Prisoners ? Legends or canon ? < br > JH : That ' s probably a question for @ HolocronKeeper . Q : Is Darth Maul : Son of Dathomir under Legends ? < br > JH : Maul : SoD is being adapted straight from Clone Wars scripts so will be considered canon . Q : what about Rebel Heist ? Last of the Legends ? < br > JH : Rebel Heist will be considered under " Legends , " yes . Q : What about the Kenobi novel , and other pre - Original Trilogy material ? < br > JH : Legends . Q : So no single EU story will become canon ? Or are there exceptions ? < br > JH : There will always be elements that might become canon . Like how witches of Dathomir on TCW came from EU . Q : what does this mean for Mara Jade ? So long as she remains in the story , I righteously don ' t care what is Legends or not < br > JH : She ' s part of " Legends " now . Does that mean she ' ll never show up in something going forward ? Your guess is as good as mine . Q : Is Heir to the Jedi still considered " Empire and Rebellion 3 " or has it been " disconnected " from the series ? < br > JH : Not sure we ' ve decided yet if it will still be part of E & R . < br > Del Rey : HTTJ will not be part of E & R . Razor ' s Edge and Honor Among Thieves are now part of the " Legends " line . Q : Question : Will the E & R trilogy be completed in the Legends line or should we just consider it a duology now ? < br > JH : Consider it a duology from the Legends line . But Scarlet Hark is real to me ! ! Q : Is this all EU or just post Return of the Jedi ? I ' ve always loved the Old Republic stuff like TotJ . < br > JH : All of it , but , we do wonder about that ourselves . So not 100 % sure how that will play out ? But consider Legends for now . Q : Are the Clone Wars tie - in books by Karen Traviss and Karen Miller officially considered Legends or Canon ? < br > JH : Might want to ask @ HolocronKeeper that one . Q : So is the old EU , at best , just an alternate universe now ? < br > JH : Basically , but a lot of EU elements have become or might become canon moving forward . It ' s still there to use . Q : Given that it ' s still ongoing , do we know where the RPG from @ FFGames falls ? < br > JH : That ' s a tricky one . Not entirely sure myself tbh . We ' ll figure it out . Q : What about the " Clone Wars " Animations ? Not " The Clone Wars " but " Clone Wars " Is that still canon ? < br > JH : That ' s a question for @ HolocronKeeper Q : Would someone like Darth Maul ' s EU novels / comics that were essentially his life story be Legends now ? They don ' t conflict with . . < br > JH : Anything about his origins that was in TCW ( incl the upcoming Son of Dathomir comics ) would be canon . Q : Will old things from the # Legends Universe still be published ? And even new things ? Like Sword of the Jedi ? < br > JH : The old Legends books will remain in print , yes . Probably not new stories , though . : ( But who knows ? Q : What about the comics / novels that bear The Clone Wars brand ? Are those included with the show , or are they Legends as well ? < br > JH : I think they ' re only canon if they are directly based on something that was in the show . Q : Is Vader ' s Dark Lord : The Rise of Darth Vader canon ? I believe it was right after ROTS < br > JH : I believe that would be considered " Legends . " Q : So . . . everything that is ( or was ) the Old Republic Era is just . . . non - canon now ? Revan , Meetra ? All of them are just . . gone ? < br > JH : They ' re still there ! But are they part of " official " canon , for now ? Probably not . But they could be referred to in future Q : What about the Old Republic era ? < br > JH : That ' s something we ' ve wondered ourselves . ; ) Operating under assumption it ' s part of " past EU " but I guess we ' ll see . Q : Is KOTOR , Darth Bane , and Darth Plagueis all being wiped ? < br > JH : They are now " Legends " but remember Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis are canon characters created by George . Q : Yes but those elements are not exactly how they were in the EU . The witches , for example , doesn ' t seem like Force - users in TCW : ) < br > JH : Right , they may not show up in the same way . Or they might ! ; ) Q : So does this include KOTOR and Star Wars : Legacy too ? Or just anything around the time of the movies ? < br > JH : That would all be considered Legends , now . Q : does this mean everything post Return of the Jedi is no longer cannon , but everything before is canon or is it all non - canon now ? < br > JH : It ' s all non - canon , but it all exists as a resource that could be used down the line . Q : Question : the third Empire & Rebellion book by Hearne is annonced . Does this mean that the other two are part of the new UE ? < br > JH : That ' s a tricky one . Basically first 2 books are Legends , the new Luke one is being done in concert w / Story Group , so ' canon . ' Q : is Revan canon ? < br > JH : The book is Legends but the character was almost in The Clone Wars so . . . I ' m not sure ? Maybe that will become clear down the line . Q : What about already running lines ? Such as FFGs books which have referred a lot in now old EU . Will its new books be legend ? < br > JH : Not sure about that ! Figuring it out . Q : Thanks : ) . Reference books ( be they roleplaying or otherwise ) are easy to forget when focusing on novels and continuity . . . < br > JH : My sense is there ' s no point in ignoring all that material . It ' s there unless something new contradicts it . Q : Some major old EU event you may not want Is this new FFG book canon ? And if it is are the old event it brought up ? < br > JH : We would not have the new book reference any EU we don ' t want in there [ . . . ] Story Group would decide if any EU material they would want to use would be allowed to be included . JH : Lots of you are asking about The Old Republic . . . I assume that is now " Legends , " but I don ' t know 100 % . Esp w / game ongoing . Q : the thing w / the @ SWTOR sector of SW Canon is that it is SO FAR in the past and doesn ' t even connect to the films . Why erase it ? < br > JH : We don ' t consider it " erased " it ' s still there . As long as nothing new directly contradicts it , it ' s there to be used . Q : Hi ! Wondering if you know what the new canon means for 1980 ' s Star Wars TV . Are Droids , Ewoks and the Ewok movies now Legends ? < br > JH : I guess so ! Q : Hi ! Any thoughts on the other TV shows ? Clone Wars shorts , Droids , Ewoks and Ewok Movies ? < br > JH : Don ' t know for sure ! JH : Like seriously you should probably ignore anything I ' ve said about video games because I don ' t know what I ' m talking about . LOL . Q : Are the film novelizations , junior novelizations , and TCW film novelization still canon ? < br > JH : That ' s a tricky question and I ' m not sure , sorry !
