In an announcement made on Friday, April 25, LucasFilm revealed that any future additions to the Star Wars franchise–be it book, movie or videogame–from here on out will be connected to the new official Star Wars canon. While some elements may be included from the Expanded Universe, it’s been interpreted that the majority of it will be disregarded in favor of the new canon.
The writer and creative director of the Uncharted series, Amy Hennig, recently joined Visceral Games to work on an unnamed Star Wars project.
Recently, EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson made it clear that the publisher’s upcoming Star Wars titles will not be based directly on the new Star Wars movie trilogy from Disney. Instead, the publisher will be taking a page from the Batman: Arkham series , where it will take Star Wars back to the roots of its IP and build up from there.
Principal photography began for the first addition to the new movie trilogy, Star Wars: Episode VII , on Tuesday, March 18. The film is slated to drop on theatres on December 18, 2015 .
