In fact, the Story Group's own members (Chee and Hidalgo) gave presentations at last year's Star Wars Celebration Europe, as well as interviews on the fan-run podcast Forcecast, which can be heard here starting around 1:05:13.Īccording to Hidalgo, the Story Group began as an initiative from Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy that grew out of her philosophy that "creativity leads" - meaning the story and artistry run paramount. The truth is, the goals of Lucasfilm's Story Group are nothing new.
Previously only "Star Wars" movies fell under that well-debated moniker. Answering fans' questions on his Twitter page, Chee tweeted that Lucasfilm's Story Group will be deciding what's considered "Star Wars" canon by the company. He's known best as keeper of the Holocron, an in-house database of every character, creature, vehicle, planet, weapon, and technology ever mentioned in the "Star Wars" universe created to help artists, writers, and game developers keep within continuity guidelines. The blogger buzz began this week with a series of tweets from one of the Story Group's members, Leland Chee.
With news of Marvel taking back the reins of "Star Wars" comics, and the new film edging closer to its 2015 debut date, many fans are anxious to learn the fate of some of their favorite characters in what's referred to as the Expanded Universe (comics, books, and games).Īccording to recent reports by blogs such as Bleeding Cool and The Hollywood Reporter, Lucasfilm and Disney have a brand-new committee of employees called the Story Group whose job it is to tackle the rancor monster known as the "Star Wars" canon. But what would she be in a "Star Wars" movie? Red-headed fan favorite Mara Jade was once an assassin of the Empire's dark overlord comics and books.
