So now everything is equal level of canon in Star Wars while they continue to use the old system as well?[url]https://twitter.com/HolocronKeeper/status/420247757723430912[/url] wrote:

Just finished Heir to the Empire. It was an amazing book, and I’ll be saddened to see its canon overwritten by the new movies.

@pauldunahoo has the EU ever been considered cannon?

@rwknopp Always has been, unless something from The Clone Wars or movies override it (such as the Jedi Twilight book - it was overridden).

@pauldunahoo Lucas sees it as two universes (Not that I care what he thinks). There’s different levels of cannon: http://d.pr/UDmH

@rwknopp …erases the canon. Also, George Lucas does not have the ability to define how canon is treated. (@HolocronKeeper does)

@pauldunahoo @rwknopp Star Wars Canon is now determined by the Lucasfilm Story Group which @infinata and I are both a part of.

@HolocronKeeper will the new Marvel Star Wars comics be considered canon or they could still be contradicted by the movies and tv shows?

@A_Targaryen Story Group has a hand in all facets of Star Wars storytelling, including movies, TV, games, and publishing.

@HolocronKeeper Does that mean all projects from here on out that Story Group touch are canon? Or is there still a G- T- C- etc on new stuff

@StephenVincent More so than ever, the canon field will serve us internally simply for classification rather than setting hierarchy.

@HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent Are you implying that the goal is to dispose of the hierarchy and have one cohesive canon?

@12MG12 @StephenVincent That's definitely a primary goal of the Story Group.

@HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent it's an ambitious goal to be sure.

@HolocronKeeper @12MG12 @StephenVincent Does that include C-canon pre-2015?

@12MG12 @HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent Not Really, it was only GL and Dave Filoni, who didn't want to reference material. I'd say it's easy

@HolocronKeeper Will the Story Group ensure that the future EU won't have stupid stuff like this? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ysalamir

@HolocronKeeper As far as Story Group goes, if something in 7-9 conflicts w/ existing EU canon, will you correct it, or will 7-9 "override"?

@HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent Honestly the whole hierarchy thing was silly anyway. Not that much S-Canon stuff even contradicted anyway.

@HolocronKeeper @StephenVincent I'd say the Star Wars EU was pretty darn cohesive besides those few glaring errors, albeit pretty big (TCW)
What does Thedude3445 @Thedude3445 16h mean by (TCW)?
