would this mean that Rebel Dawn starts 3.5 years BBY? Where do you have it starting on your timeline?
I've got RD at 2 BBY

Lehon or Rakata Prime?
Lehon. Consider Rakata Prime a nickname.

2) Farfalla and his troops are shown being sucked into the thought bomb in JvS, whereas PoD has them alive and well and surviving the wars.
If it comes up in a future source, I would lean toward the POD version of events to be the most likely. We tend to leave any seeming inconsistencies for future authors to interpret.

Are all NPC characters in Galaxies canon?
Unless you've noticed a conflict, then yes, they are canon. I'm not 100% sure I have all of them documented in the Holocron, though. I get my info primarily from the strategy guides and the website.

On the subject of JvS and PoD discrepancies, the only ones that are really bugging me:

1) Lehon or Rakata Prime? Is this just a case of the world having a "nickname" during Bane's time and people rediscovering the correct name later, or vice versa?

2) Farfalla and his troops are shown being sucked into the thought bomb in JvS, whereas PoD has them alive and well and surviving the wars. I assume the latter is "correct", as it were? Course, the former is merely a soldier's recollections, so I guess the guy might be shellshocked/crazy/drunk and just making up stuff.

Yes, "integrated" with the more recent source being being favored for dealing with the concrete inconsistencies.

Sweet. Thanks.

Is Rute Gunnay's name now Rute Gunray like it says in The Complete Visual Dictionary?

Had a question about the Battle of Ruusan:

The order of events and how they intercut between Bane, Kaan, and Hoth in Path of Destruction and in Jedi vs. Sith are different. Most of the events are basically the same, but, for instance, Pernicar dies a lot later in the comic, and it seems that Farfalla's return is handled as one event in the comic but two separate events in the novel (between when, Hoth pushes Farfalla away).

The two cousins, Bug and Tomcat, also don't appear in the scenes with Githany and Kopecz that they do in the comic, while young Zannah/Rain doesn't meet Bane until after things calm down in the novel, whereas she's with Bane before that in the comics.

I was curious as to which of the two different versions of the battle (and the actions of its key players) is now considered accurate. (I'm guessing that it's like with the Battle of Coruscant, where we're seeing it from two different historical perspectives, so the truth is a blending, but I wanted to be sure before I tried to summarize POD for my timeline and integrate it with JvS.)

Thanks.

Tasty: What is the current canon ranking of the Marvel comics? From all the references and reprints lately, I'm fairly sure they're C-canon (with a few S-canon elements), but can you confirm whether or not this is correct?

Thanks.

There you go. Thanks Jsarek.

Tasty Taste, given your statements above, can you clarify something? Is the holiday special, or at least most of it, considered C-canon? If so, which specific parts aren't?

Is there a specific date for any event in Return of the Jedi, or anything regarding how many months it occurs after the Empire Strikes Back?
I don't have anything. By the way, do you have a source for the suspension of the Senate date?

what standing in canon statements by George Lucas have. I always thought that they constituted G-canon, but I just wanted to make sure.
In the Holocron, the different levels of continuity are only given for an entry in its entirety; not by individual pieces of information. Therefore, an entry would not say that this part of the entry is G-canon and the other is C-canon, though this might be inferred from the source. As always, contradictions are dealt with case-by-case. Obviously, things that come from the films and from George usually take a higher priority than other sources. But when taking George's statements into account for the Holocron's continuity notes, I have to consider a) when the statement was made (something he said from the 70's may no longer pertain to his current vision of +Star Wars+), b) the source of the statement (a non-LFL sources could be a misquote), and c) the context of the statement (was George making a joke or off-the cuff remark? Was it something said to someone behind-the-scenes to elicit a certain performance, not necessarily part of continuity?) There are relatively few notes from George in the Holocron that are derived from public statements; most of the notes from him are from things that George gives to Licensing directly.
