Forum:SH:The Force Awakens: The Official Visual Story Guide

In regards to the Star Wars: The Force Awakens—The Official Visual Story Guide magazine that was put out recently as a film companion, if you come across information that cannot be found in any other sources, please do not include that information in canon pages. Lucasfilm Story Group creative executive Pablo Hidalgo tweeted here that he wasn't aware that this guide even existed. So it has not gone through Story Group vetting.

For example, the guide says that Kylo Ren founded the Knights of Ren. According to Pablo, "...it would seem the author is guessing based on nothing." He also said that if he/the Story Group had seen that information, it would have been removed. So that also calls into question any other information that can't be found in other sources.

Let's not use this thread as a venue for remarking on how things are being released without vetting, or how Lucasfilm treats canon is confusing to you, or anything like that. Sorry if I seem negative there, but since a lot of other threads have gone that way, and this is just a simple note to not include any information specific to this guide, I figure we don't need to go down that road.
