The Star Wars Canon: The Definitive Guide
Star Wars is a biggie. Not only is it really good, but there’s also tons of it. Like tons and tons. What starts as a neat little trilogy, eventually leaks into a trilogy of film trilogies, spin-off movies, TV shows, and books. And these spawn comics, audio-dramas, short stories, and even more.
IGN has put together a definitive list of every piece of canon Star Wars content to help you keep track of it all. Whether you’re brand new to Star Wars and can’t wait to explore every inch of the galaxy far, far away, or you’re a seasoned traveler looking to tick off the final few elusive stories, this is the page for you.
Let’s also make clear what we mean by canon. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, they essentially reset the Star Wars universe. They turned almost everything outside of the core six films into something called Legends, which takes place in a universe where the Sequel Trilogy never happened.
Everything published afterwards is categorised as canon, and (more or less) sticks to one cohesive universe. No new Legends content will be published, whereas the canon Star Wars content will likely continue to grow for years and decades to come.
Below is a list of every piece of canon Star Wars content. It can be quite overwhelming, but that’s why we’ve collected everything for you, broken it down into different categories with explainers, and provided recommendations on the best places to start. We’ve also included definite upcoming content like the Ahsoka Disney+ series (these will be listed in italics), but not untitled projects like the new Rey Skywalker film. May the Force be with you…

Every Canon Star Wars Film
Let’s start simple. The famous film series was the main Star Wars media format to not get wiped and turned into Legends when Disney took over the franchise. This means that every Star Wars film is canon, from A New Hope in 1977 to The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
We’ve included this as an entry because there are a few sneaky films sprinkled in though, including those released as part of Disney’s now scrapped “one film every year” approach. Finally, the easy to forget film The Clone Wars which began the beloved TV series is also a canon entry. As for where to start watching, checking out the mainline Episodes in release order is probably your best bet, while a chronological run-through might be more enjoyable for a second watch.

Every Canon Star Wars TV Show
The first stop on any new Star Wars fan’s journey into the extended universe will likely be one of the several TV shows available on Disney+. Though there aren’t dozens of these to choose from yet, there is still plenty of content aimed at younger viewers, adults, those young at heart, and everywhere in between.
In fact, because even the shows aimed at younger viewers are packed full of important canon lore that feeds into other content, most of the offerings are enjoyable for all ages. The Clone Wars TV series introduces Ahsoka, for example, but she later appears in the Rebels show, in her own young adult novel, in The Mandalorian, and she’s even getting a Disney+ series all to herself.
As Ahsoka and The Clone Wars TV series were so beloved, they survived Disney’s Order 66 and made it into the canon universe despite being produced before the studio purchased Star Wars, but no other series released before 2014 is considered canon.

Every Canon Star Wars Video Game
What better way to immerse yourself in Star Wars canon than by actually putting yourself into the galaxy far, far away by playing as one of its characters. Despite there being so many Star Wars games out there though, the canon list is surprisingly small.
Video games can take as long as films to make, if not longer, so the universe-resetting following the Disney takeover led to a slow restart for this side of things. Publisher EA also held an exclusive deal to make Star Wars games, and story-based, single player content seemingly wasn’t their priority.
The first canon game is therefore 2017’s Battlefront 2 (not to be confused with one from 2005 of the same name), because unlike its predecessor, it actually had a story campaign. There are also a couple of smaller virtual reality canon games, and space combat entry Squadrons, but it’s the Jedi series from Respawn Entertainment that provides the heftiest chunk of story content.

Every Canon Star Wars Novel
This is where Star Wars gets busy. Though the first canon novel was released less than 10 years ago, there are already dozens and dozens of books published, even ignoring the several adaptations and junior reader novels.
There are novels tied into the plots of films, deep backstories for characters only featured briefly in other content, and completely fresh ideas that have spawned their own multimedia sagas. If you really, really, want to get into the depths of Star Wars lore, the novels are for you.
These are published in several different categories. Adult novels are, well, novels aimed at adults, and are published with the most consistency. Then there are young adult novels, and while the writing here is slightly less complex, these are largely considered as interesting and enjoyable as the adult novels.
Finally, there are junior reader Star Wars novels. These are aimed at kids, though the ages can vary from book to book. Some are meant for middle school readers, meaning the stories can still be somewhat interesting to older readers, though adults will likely notice a significant difference between these and the adult and even young adult books.
They still contain canon lore, of course, so some readers may want to work through them to absorb every piece of Star Wars available. The reading level also allows them to be consumed in just a couple of hours, so it’s up to the individual whether they’re willing to spend the time and money.
Another brief explanation is needed for The High Republic, a novel-led saga of brand new Star Wars stories taking place around 200 years before The Phantom Menace. This is split into phases, and each phase is broken down into waves.
Each wave primarily contains one adult novel, one young adult novel, and one junior, with a few extras sprinkled in like comics, audio books, and more. The overall stories are contained within each format though, so the adult novels directly lead into each other and you don’t need to read the young adult novels to get the whole picture, for example.
Instead, the young adult novel stories just take place alongside the events of the adult novels, covering different characters in roughly the same time period. This means that if you only want to read the adult novels, that’s absolutely fine. And if this is all super confusing, just follow the publishing order of the High Republic saga.

Every Canon Star Wars Comic
Star Wars comics canon was easy to figure out when the universe was reset. Disney released a run simply titled Star Wars, and then blended it together with a Darth Vader run, and subsequently released smaller runs focused on single characters like Princess Leia, Lando, and so on.
Years on, however, and there are now dozens of different comic series and standalone graphic novels, featuring just about every established Star Wars character and a few new ones. Whether you want to read about the adventures of Han, Obi-Wan, Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren, Jabba, or any of your other favourite characters, there’s probably at least one comic run that allows that.
Our guide breaks all of these down, of course, but there are some useful things you should know to make the comic reading experience go a little bit smoother.
Some of the entries, such as the aforementioned Darth Vader run, will have years after them in brackets. This is because another Darth Vader run began after the first one wrapped, telling a new story separate from the original. We therefore say Darth Vader (2015) to indicate the run starting in 2015, and Darth Vader (2017) to indicate the run starting in 2017. You get it.
Annuals are also released for some of the longer series. These aren’t part of the regular, numbered issues but can still contribute to the run’s overall story. You can get away without reading these, but if you want to absorb absolutely every piece of the story, it’s worth checking when they fit into the main story.
Another thing non-comic readers might find confusing about delving into this side of Star Wars anon is crossover events. This is when readers are intended to read different comics from several runs to get the complete story. Don’t worry about missing out, however, as the comics tell you plainly when this is about to happen in the ‘next issue’ segment at the end of each chapter.
Finally, a single run from before the Disney reset is considered canon. A four-part comic called Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir was published by Dark Horse in 2014, but was based on content scrapped from The Clone Wars TV series and therefore fit with Star Wars canon. Disney made it official in 2017 when Marvel republished the book under its banner.
We’ve separated the below list to indicate comics aimed at younger readers (that would likely still be fun for adults), alongside smaller comic runs that appeared as part of other media, and another list exists for comic adpatations of the films and TV shows. What you’ll see first, however, is every mainline Star Wars comic that further expands the canon universe. The run name is followed by the number of issues (and number of annuals where applicable) followed by the date issue one was published.

Every Canon Star Wars Audio Drama
Yes, Star Wars canon even includes audio dramas. There aren’t many though, as Disney only releases them every year or so. The scripts of these audio dramas can usually be purchased in a nicely packaged book too, and regular Star Wars novels can often be found in audio book format.

Every Canon Star Wars Short Story
Finally, there are Star Wars short stories sprinkled throughout various other media. These are most commonly featured in the Star Wars Insider magazine, though have also appeared on websites as part of promotional campaigns, packaged in special editions of some novels, and so on.
There are some books made up entirely of short stories too, but we’ve listed these in the novels section for simplicity, and any short story appearing in one of these dedicated collections won’t appear in the below list.

And that’s it! As you can see there is a lot of Star Wars content to consume, and something for absolutely everyone whether you like TV, novels, comics, or whatever else. And within each section there’s probably a dozen choices of your favourite characters or storylines to get into.
Hopefully our guide will help you figure out where to start and act as a checklist for those looking to tick off every single canon release. It’s also just about 10 years into the canon universe, and we all know Star Wars is going nowhere, so you can imagine how much the galaxy will expand over the next few years and decades.
On that note, it’s also worth remembering that new content is released all the time, especially on the comics front. This list is therefore accurate as of May 4, 2023, and while we’ll continue to update it regularly, it will almost immediately be a tad out of date.
