It's what Lucas Film, and now Disney, accepts as legitimate events, abilities, locations, etc. etc. If I write a book today that has Rey shooting laser beams out of her eyes, in New York city, fighting off a rough band of Bromies, that would likely not be accepted by Disney as "Canon" in the Star Wars universe and fans should not assume, based on my book, that Rey now has the ability to shoot lasers from her eyes or has ever traveled to New York.
You can find what Disney has accepted as Canon (various books, The Clone Wars animated series, etc.) and what it considers "Expanded Universe" (My book would fall here) online.
