Uncertainty from Leo: How does something like the Star Wars Universe maintain its canon?

with so many independent writers adding to it, how can Lucas-arts or any other running organization filter or determine a canon? Considering the size and character diversity also it seems almost impossible.

With any luck , this will aid in lots of ways… to create everything considerably better.

Answer by Goodfella_7

Lucas Licensing maintains a database of the fictional elements of Star Wars called the Holocron continuity database. It was developed by Leland Chee in 2000. According to him, there are items in the database that have been submitted at the earliest stages, but have never been published about or seen in a Star Wars medium so the database is very rarely ever in public display.


The Holocron is an internal database maintained for the express purpose of trying to maintain continuity within all licensed products. The Holocron is sorted into four levels of canon, reflecting LFL’s canon and continuity policies: G, C, S, and N.


G (George Lucas) canon is absolute canon. This category includes the six films, the deleted scenes from the films, the novelizations of the films, the radio dramas based on the films, the film scripts, and any material found in any other source (published or not) that comes directly from George Lucas himself. G canon outranks all other forms of canon.


C (continuity) canon refers to the main body of EU work, and is the next most authoritative level of canon. All material published under the Star Wars label that doesn’t fall into either G, S, or N canon is C canon and is considered authoritative as long as it isn’t contradicted by G canon.


S (secondary) canon refers to older, less accurate, or less coherent EU works, which would not ordinarily fit in the main continuity of G and C canon. For example, this includes the popular online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies, and certain elements of a few N-canon stories.


N continuity material is also known as “non-canon” or “non-continuity” material. What-if stories (such as those published under the Infinities label) and anything else that cannot at all fit into continuity is placed into this category. “N-continuity” is not considered canon.


Have any idea much better?

Meet my new baby. I upgraded to a Canon 7D. Yeah it’s completely self-indulgent and unnecessary, but oh well….It’s my Christmas present to myself!
