Expanded Universe

The Star Wars Expanded Universe (commonly abbreviated to EU) is a term used to refer to all the officially licensed fiction and technical information set in the Star Wars universe outside of the movies. EU material is generally accepted as N or S canon and as such has greatly fleshed out the Star Wars universe. Despite this, some events and pieces of fiction in the EU have made it controversial among part of the fandom.

Much of the old EU has been decanonized by Disney, which calls it the "Legends" continuity..
