Star Wars List Exclusions

Titles researched for the Star Wars List but deliberately left out, with the reason for each, kept so the decisions can be revisited. Categories excluded by rule: theme-park attraction films; interactive titles and games without an authoritative linear version; unofficial productions that aren't especially notable; ordinary commercials, product demonstrations and brief social-media clips; documentaries; re-edits of existing episodes; and items outside the franchise's scope. (Adult-film parodies are excluded and not recorded.)

Rows shaded like this are unofficial productions.
