Related: Carrie Fisher's Death & Leia's Star Wars Future The Force Awakens picks up 30 years after the end of Return of the Jedi, leaving a large swath of untold story in the interim, only eluding to some major events in the middle, leaving plenty of room for additional stories to be told in books, comics, and animation. The former Expanded Universe stretched several decades beyond the Battle of Endor, telling the story of the classic heroes, their children, and even a number of brand new characters not featured in the movies.While George Lucas himself never actually considered the Expanded Universe as canon, that stance was made official after Lucasfilm was sold to Disney and those stories were all designated as the alternate universe of Star Wars Legends to make way for a brand new shared universe, only incorporating the Lucas produced movies and The Clone Warsanimated series as its foundational canon. When George Lucas returned to making Star Wars movies, he chose to go back in time to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker before the events of the original trilogy, but that didn't mean fans were deprived of further adventures of Han, Leia, Luke, and other Star Wars favorites from the original trilogy.
