Three Star Wars television experiments from the pre-Disney Expanded Universe sit on the shelf outside today’s main continuity. Each one is labeled Legends, so the label tells you where the work fits before you start watching.
The Star Wars Holiday Special
1978 · TV special · George Lucas / Steve Binder · Legends
A one-night CBS variety special sends Han and Chewbacca to Kashyyyk for Life Day, then folds live action, songs, comedy, and the animated Boba Fett story into one very strange broadcast. The special is a time capsule of the franchise before its expanded universe had a settled shape.

Star Wars: Clone Wars
2003–05 · animated micro-series · Genndy Tartakovsky · Legends
Genndy Tartakovsky’s 25 short chapters turn the Clone Wars into sharp bursts of motion and scale. The series was built as a bridge between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, and its visual language still feels unlike the later CGI series.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
1985 · TV film · Ken Wheat / Jim Wheat · Legends
Cindel returns to Endor after raiders destroy her family’s home. The second Ewok television film moves from the first film’s rescue adventure toward a darker fairy-tale quest with Noa, Wicket, and the witch Charal.
