Star Wars is more than lazer swords.
Complete Cannes Interview. The whole thing is well worth watching. However, one place of especial note: 50:42 Special Editions details why they cannot rerelease the originals.
Full interviewIf it wasn’t canon then why would George recommend it to learn more about the lore? Why would he care to talk about it passionately? The resource books, like encyclopedias referenced the movies as well as all other media building the lore.
