Primärt, Disney via Lucasfilm Story Group ...
Lucasfilm Story Group är en division av Lucasfilm, skapad efter Disney-förvärvet; Det är deras jobb för att hålla Star Wars -kanonen så internt som möjligt och att styra dess utveckling.
Pablo Hidalgo, en medlem av LSG och en av kontinuitetstrio "undergrupp, kommenterade på Twitter som mycket av hans jobb involverar planlösning på hög nivå och gör anteckningar om nya historier pågår:
@MisterCHolocron What exactly does being creative executive entail? I assume it's basically being an editor of sorts for books?
@pablohidalgo planning storylines, all content, reading/approving/commenting on scripts, manuscripts, outlines, etc. etc.

The first point made at the panel was that the Story Group has a long game plan. They have major beats and ideas spanning probably years or maybe decades in advance (Note: no specific time frame was given) so as to be able to incorporate everything Star Wars is becoming.

While the term “Story Group” may make it sound like they are dictating the story, that’s not usually the case. In most cases, authors or filmmakers who are hired to work on Star Wars properties, are given the oppurtunity [sic] to come up with their own stories and ideas. While doing that, they work closely with the Story Group to make sure the stories are authentically Star Wars (for example, Darth Vader doesn’t dance or something) and also fit into the larger plan. Hidalgo said they’ve heard pitches from people who have great ideas for characters who are then told, “Come back in six years.” That’s because the story they’re pitching would fit in better with a character at another point in the future.
@bishbashboshjt Do LFL tell novelists the plot or do they Vet it with you?
@pablohidalgo We don't tell them the plot. It's their stories. We just try to make sure it's the right story to tell at the right time.
Även om LSG har en långsiktig plan för hur Star Wars -universet kommer att utvecklas, lämnas de fina detaljerna i de enskilda skaparnas händer (i nära samråd med LSG, för att hålla kanonen konsekvent).
