Celebration Anaheim 2015: Star Wars Canon Panel

Lucasfilm's quasi-reboot of the Star Wars canon was one of the most controversial decisions in the company's four-decade history. At Celebration Anaheim's "One Big Story: Working Within the Star Wars Canon" panel, a small group representing Lucasfilm and its largest publishing partners attempted to explain how they work together to tell new stories in the Star Wars universe and how that storytelling proceeds under the direction of the Lucasfilm Story Group.

The panelists were:

• Michael Siglain, Director, Creative Franchise, Lucasfilm Publishing
  
• Jennifer Heddle, Senior Editor for Fiction, LucasBooks
  
• Leland Chee, Manager of the Holocron, Lucasfilm (Story Group member)
  
• Pablo Hidalgo, Creative Executive, Lucasfilm (Story Group member)
  
• Shelly Shapiro Editor-at-Large, Del Rey Books
  
• Jordan White, Star Wars Editor, Marvel Comics
  
• C.B. Sebulski, Senior Vice President of Creative & Creator Development, Marvel
  
• Sadie Smith, Managing Editor, DK Publishing
