Star Wars: The Clone Wars proves George Lucas was always going to revise the canon, foreshadowing Disney's Expanded Universe decisions.
Star Wars continuity was reset in 2014, when Lucasfilm declared the old Expanded Universe non-canon , but George Lucas' Star Wars: The Clone Wars - which launched in 2008 - was really the beginning of this. For most of the Star Wars franchise’s history, there was only one main continuity: The Expanded Universe, which included the six saga films, several spinoff films and TV shows, and a plethora of video games, comic books, novels, and other properties.
"There is no more clear illustration of the difference between the Expanded Universe and the Star Wars created by George Lucas. The EU is a well of ideas, and there's what's on screen. They don't live in the same universe. Everyone wants to think so, I know, and there is a lot of effort to make it all work, but it's pretty clear when you really start looking at it that when you take ideas from the printed realm and bring it on the screen, it's not always the same.
