This technique isn't exclusive to the Lucasfilm-licensed Star Wars projects Paramount's Star Trek franchise has published hundreds of paperback and hardcover novels which not only tell "untold tales" of the famous starships Enterprise and their legendary crews, but also have their own internal - if somewhat looser - sense of continuity by the use of characters that appear only in the novels and not in the TV shows or feature films. If you are a more-or-less regular reader of the Bantam Spectra/Del Rey Star Wars Expanded Universe novels, you're doubtlessly aware that though each novel or series of novels is pretty much a stand-alone work, it's also part of a larger mosaic. There are many instances in which a minor character, planet, or even old pre-Empire projects mentioned in one book will later play a larger role in the continuing Star Wars narrative.
