[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]One more thing: even if Star Wars universe has grown beyond Lucas... so what? Star Trek franchise grew beyond Gene Roddenberry, and Trek books still aren't canon.[/QUOTE]My point was that Trek continued in the form of TV shows independent of Roddenberry's direction and, up until the Clone Wars series, Star Wars had been continued in written form, independent of Lucas' direction. Regardless of the form the story took, control of the franchise had been officially handed over to other people. Isn't the reason why Star Trek books aren't canon because (up until recently) they were still making Trek TV series and movies? I believe that the Trek writers didn't want future episodes or series to be restricted by the novel writers and therefore the books were declared non-canon. In Lucas' case, however, he deliberately limited the time-span and the number of his stories in the Star Wars universe, with no intention of personally continuing the story. Since Lucas has decided to retire from Star Wars, will the upcoming TV series not be considered canon? [/QB][/QUOTE]
