Nerds everywhere declare a Jihad.

When asked what the change meant, he [URL="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-spinoffs-will-matter-668958"]wrote[/URL] that "a primary goal" was to ensure that there was no hierarchy between the movies and spinoff material, but instead one cohesive canon across the entire franchise, [URL="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-spinoffs-will-matter-668958"]adding[/URL] that "more so than ever, the canon field will serve us internally simply for classification rather than setting hierarchy."

Somewhere there was an 800 page summary of EU cannon. That was over 10 years ago.
Yes, an 800 page summary.

lol...the article got info in correct

the concept of Star Wars canon has been relatively simple: Everything that happens in the movies counts, and everything that happened in any of the spinoff material -- be it games, comic books, novels or television shows -- doesn't.

As pointed out in the comments..Star Trek uses that not Star Wars....and that's just the tip of the ice berg

Star Wars Canon is a mess. Events that happen in the movies have been argued about because they have been presently differently in some books. Revising the Canon is a good thing.

For me, canon is what happened in the movies and in my Star Wars D20 campaign.
