So you might be asking yourself as to what kinds of things were utilized from these source materials? Well read on to find out! These novels include Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, along with Champions of the Force and were written only a few short years AFTER Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy. Anderson’s Jedi Academy Trilogy books heavily influenced the writers for The Force Awakens. Case in point, I believe that many elements of Kevin J. However with all that being said, that does not mean that the writers couldn’t have taken or nitpicked certain things from the non-canon novels. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term canon, the dictionary definition is as follows: “a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine.” This means that EVERYTHING categorized as ‘canon’ actually happened in the story of Star Wars. Lucasfilm decided to wipe the slate clean exclaiming that every story or game moving forward is officially canon. While some of these stories were never officially canonized, it was nice to have seen some authors take a shot at telling their own stories using familiar characters from the films. Basically everything that you may have read or remembered including the fantastically written Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn, these stories no longer serve a purpose in the Star Wars cinematic story. Kathleen Kennedy made an announcement back in 2012 stating that all previous novels and video games are not part of the Star Wars canon.
