Overview: Star Wars Legends, formerly known as Expanded Universe (or abbreviated as EU), encompasses every one of the officially licensed, fictional background stories of the Star Wars universe, outside of the original six Star Wars films produced by George Lucas and certain other material such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, created before April 25, 2014. It is derived from and includes most official Star Wars–related books, comic books, video games, spin-off films, television series, toys, and other media created before the date. This material expands and continues the stories told in the films, taking place anywhere from over 36,000 years before The Phantom Menace to 136 years after Return of the Jedi. The issue of which aspects are canon was one of the most hotly debated topics among fans. After deserting the Imperial Navy, Han Solo offers his smuggling services to crime lords Jiliac and Jabba the Hutt and is thrust into the middle of a battle between the Empire and a band of outlaw allies
