Expanded Universe is the fictional universe/world inhabited by various fictional characters, which includes details of the Fictional Universe that do not appear in the original material (itself often referred to as Canon ). For example, the '' Star Wars '' universe is shown in the six movies. The expanded universe includes these movies, as well as details from various novels, comic books, role-playing games etc. outside of the original movies. Nearly every series with a committed fan base has such additions, usually in the forms of comics or novels based within the same setting as popular movies or television shows. This is not the same as an Adaptation , which is a retelling of the same story, usually on a different Medium . Most often, Expanded Universes are non- Canon but instead ' Apocrypha '. ''Star Wars'' is unusual since George Lucas /Lucasfilm outlined four levels of canon which included the Star Wars Expanded Universe effectively Canon izing the continuity established by ''Star Wars'' Novel s and resulting in strong efforts to maintain continuity between books and the films (see Star Wars Canon for details) . Many elements created in the ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe have made it into the films, such as the Planet Coruscant or character Aayla Secura . SEE ALSO |
