It should be noted that while the stories were approved by Lucasfilm, the status of their canonicity was ambiguous for several years due to them having been released post-reboot on a website unaffiliated with the company. [[WordOfGod On his Facebook]], Bongiorno listed their status as "approved but unlicensed," and Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo was eventually able to determine that, while Lucasfilm did commission Bongiorno to create them, the final product was rejected owing to concerns over its length and its resolutions to some of the franchise's biggest mysteries. It is nevertheless regarded as one of the ''Star Wars'' saga's more intriguing bits of apocrypha.

They are notable for the sheer amount of time they spent in DevelopmentHell, at nearly ten years; they were approved and then canceled several times, until Lucasfilm gave Bongiorno their blessing to release them on his own website following the 2014 ContinuityReboot. ''Cult Encounters'' was released on Christmas 2017, and ''Supernatural Encounters'' on the following Halloween. An extended edition of the latter is due for release in the future.

* BigBadWannabe: Ku'ar Danar, aka Darth Dreadwar, from the Extended Edition. A human scholar who discovered Dark Side secrets essentially by accident, he manages to make an enormous impact on Galactic history by tutoring the rogue Jedi students who would one day be the first twelve Sith Lords, but every scheme he tries after that completely blows up in his face. His attempt to swallow his students' souls to become immortal backfires when they catch onto him, leaving him trapped in a Dark Side monolith for 2000 years; he then tries to trick [[Comicbook/TalesOfTheJedi Naga Sadow]] into freeing him, but Sadow correctly identifies him as a poser who likes the sound of his own voice a bit too much and sticks him right back in after learning what he needs from him. During the Galactic Civil War era he's freed yet again by the [[VideoGame/StarWarsEmpireAtWar Zann Consortium]] and is all prepared for his grand comeback... which turns out to consist of getting yelled at by [[Literature/LukeSkywalkerAndTheShadowsOfMindor the Sorcerers of Rhand]] for [[FlatEarthAtheist believing the Force to be entirely scientific in nature]] and finally being permanently sealed in a gilded eyeball by [[Literature/TheBlackFleetCrisis Nil Spaar]].
