Wikia Year in Fandom 2014

2014 was a big year for all different sorts of fandom, and Star Wars was no exception. Not only did we just see the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but we also saw the release of Star Wars Rebels, the announcement of the cast of The Force Awakens, and the decision to create a new official canon without the Expanded Universe (now known as Star Wars Legends). The decision was made in order to give the creative team behind The Force Awakens and other new Star Wars stories maximum creative freedom, unencumbered by decades of books, comics, games, and more.

To celebrate "2014: The Year in Fandom," fans from Wikia are currently partnered with Maker Gens from Maker Studios to create videos about major fandom moments from the last year. One of those moments is "Disney Picks Its Star Wars Canon," and the decision to de-canonize the Expanded Universe and rebrand it as Star Wars Legends. The video was created by Cavalier One, an administrator on Wookieepedia; and Comicstorian, a Maker Gen.

You can check the video out above, and check out the Year in Fandom Wikia, where Wikia will be posting more videos to celebrate "2014: The Year in Fandom."
