All the additional Star Wars story-lines that originated in books, comics, or anything not made by George Lucas, are about to increase a whole lot more as LucasFilm looks set to expand the Star Wards universe across all platforms. From now on the stability of the Star Wars universe will be controlled by the Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo and Leland Chee.

Chee was first employed by Lucas Publishing in 2000 to produce The Holocron, the influential licensing and continuity databank for all Star Wars merchandises. Formerly, the Holocron separated Star Wars materials into four orders, with everything created by George Lucas (for example the first six movies) at the highest, superseding the numerous classifications of Expanded Universe components.

"Everything that happens in the movies counts, and everything that happened in any of the spin-off material, be it games, comic books, novels or television shows doesn't," according to The Hollwood Reporter.

Chee wouldn't reveal when Star Wars devotees would discover out which existing properties continue to be authorized as canon, or how much the possibility of formerly definite canon groupings might be altered.

Star Wars Episode VII is making its long-awaited return to the big screen on December 18, 2015. In addition, Disney recently declared that Star Wars comic books rights would return to Marvel starting in 2015. The revised Star Wars canon should begin to be framework by late 2015.

"We're incredibly excited by this next chapter in the Star Wars saga," said Executive Vice President of Disney Publishing Worldwide Andrew B. Sugerman in a recent press release on the certified Star Wars website. "Bringing together the iconic Lucasfilm and Marvel brands to tell new stories will allow us to continue to thrill lovers of the original Star Wars comic books and entertain generations to come."
