  Expanded Universe - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
For example, the "Expanded Universe" is generally considered to have begun with Alan Dean Foster's February 1978 Star Wars spin-off novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye (although technically it began with Marvel Comics' "Star Wars #7" in January 1978).
Star Wars: Rebellion allowed players to compete in the Star Wars universe on a larger scale, focusing more on the strategic aspect of handling (or defeating) a rebellion, with resource management and agent-allocation, as well as large-scale conflicts between entire fleets of starships.
For example, the two Star Wars spin-off films: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor were written by George Lucas and are films, but they are not one of the six main films in the series, so they are usually considered to be a part of the Expanded Universe.

 Guide to the Star Wars Expanded Universe Timeline
The Expanded Universe, or EU, is the moniker for the entire body of work that comprises the stories set in the Star Wars universe ranging from novels, comics, cartoons, short stories, young adult books, television shows, animated features and more...
Those who reject the Expanded Universe on the grounds of their personal inability to allow for continuity errors (as well as subsequent clarifications) fail in their reasoning to see that the films themselves are subject to rather interesting incongruities, particularly between the original versions of the Classic Trilogy and the later Special Editions.
As has been stated in the article "Continuity in the Expanded Universe", Lucasfilm and the many freelance authors that work for them have oftentimes used continuity errors as a means of creating far more interesting scenarios and new stories for the readers.

 sociology - Star Wars
Star Wars stresses the self-destructive nature of anger and hate, summed up in Yoda's words ("Fear is the path to the dark side: fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"), as well as placing one's feelings for certain people aside.
The galactic setting of Star Wars is never given a name and is called simply "the galaxy." Since the characters never venture beyond the galaxy and the power of both the Republic and the Empire ends at its borders, the galaxy can be said to serve as a microcosm of both Earth and a country.
Star Wars was also a daily newspaper comic strip from 1979 to 1984, written for the bulk of its run by Archie Goodwin and drawn by Al Williamson.

 GameSpy: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review
Released late last year for the PS2 and GCN, Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been ported to the Xbox with the significant addition of Xbox Live support, and the same relentlessly mediocre shoot-'em-up action.
And "frantic" is the key word, as there's always something to blast into pieces; at the higher levels, there are usually massive firefights raging in the background as you participate in a massive firefight in the foreground.
The lowlight of The Clone Wars is the occasional sequence in which your Jedi-avatar is on foot, marred by character animation so unfortunate that I laughed out loud the first time I saw it in "motion." Yoda's CG fight sequence at the end of Episode II: Attack of the Clones is stunningly realistic by comparison.

 Star Wars: Expanded Universe | Star Wars Artist Series: Brian Ching
However, unlike many Star Wars comic book artists, it was Return of the Jedi, as opposed to A New Hope which drew him into the strange world of Jedi, Sith, bounty hunters, Wookiees, Ewoks and droids.
Even though the Star Wars universe triggered Ching's imagination as a child, it wasn't until he was in college that he decided to pursue a career in art.
Soon, Star Wars was back on Ching's radar as he traveled to San Diego Comic-Con International in 2002 to show around his portfolio.

In 1996, Hasbro attempted to introduce a small line of character from Star Wars not directly related to the films and based on the Shadows of the Empire action figure line which was part of a multimedia project which included a novel, Nintendo 64/PC Game and Comic Books by Dark Horse Comics.
Hasbro switched the packaging from Freeze Frame Action Slides which were utilized in the Power of the Force action figure line to cards which could pop out to open three dimensional scenes where one could place the characters on them.

But it was excellent news for the licensees of the "Expanded Universe" of Star Wars books, comics and other ephemera: They'd get to spend the next few years blowing up droids and clonetroopers amid lightsaber battles on exotic worlds.
Star Wars: Clone Wars — a "micro-series" of 20 three-minute animated shorts that aired on the Cartoon Network starting in 2003.
Tartakovsky is a master of comic timing within action sequences; the little pauses he puts between a lightsaber strike and the collapse of its recipient are often hilarious, and his constantly surprising art direction and choreography create a frisson of joy we haven't see in Star Wars since, oh, 1980.

That is one of the coolest and most important pre-Clone Wars events in the history of the Republic and wasn't very well documented, even in the KOTOR Games.
