Pablo Hidalgo has recently gone out to address Star Wars canon, and the fascination, and confusion surrounding it. A huge part of the Star Wars fandom culture involves dealing with countless speculations and picking apart every single detail until an official announcement of what is definitive comes out. That said, the exec and Lucasfilm story group member himself shares his thoughts on the matter revealing that not every single thing in the famed saga is intentionally created to have a certain meaning.
Over the years, Star Wars fans have devoted time carefully looking back at the franchise’s films, as well as its other tie-ins to make sure that everything makes perfect sense. Case in point: the fan-made online encyclopedia exclusively for the series called Wookipedia. But as the “galaxy far, far away” continues to expand with new movies, spin-offs, novels, shorts, and even video games, sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all the information. That said, Star Wars is still one of the best franchises in terms of linking interconnected plot lines and characters transcending various medium.
Hidalgo’s recent comments, however, seemingly urge fans to not fixate so much about the finer details — explaining that Lucasfilm does not really get caught up in all the small stuff. In a barrage of tweets from his official Twitter account, Hidalgo shared his thoughts on the so-called “canon dialogue” but not before issuing a disclaimer writing, “It is not reflective of any company policy. It’s not a commandment. It’s not a rule. Just an observation.”
