Forum:SH:A new Canon webtoon?

Hi Wookieepedians. I heard news about a new Star Wars webtoon published serially for South Korean website named "Daum.net". The title is Star Wars: Before The Force Awakens (The original Korean title is "스타워즈: 깨어난 포스 그 이전의 이야기"). Its purpose is no doubt promoting the upcoming Star Wars film The Force Awakens, and it is a story of Luke Skywalker's youth, between Episode III and Episode IV.

I thought this webtoon was non-canon, because there are no news about it in starwars.com, but I still wondered if this is part of the new Canon continuity. So I sent a mail to the author of this webtoon, asking if this is an official Canon webtoon.

He responded:

(Translated) "Yes, this is Star Wars Canon webtoon. I get confirmation of every episode from Lucasfilm so there won't be any conflicting errors with other Canon works."

I don't know how to contact Lucasfilm directly, so I can't be sure if this webtoon is within the Canon continuity. If anyone knows how to contact Lucasfilm, please ask if this is Canon for sure. Thanks.

Although it's written in Korean, I'll leave a link for people who will be curious about this. Jaewade (talk) 07:32, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
