Mr Chee, I have a question as well if I may:
It is known that in ROTJ Anakin supposedly disappeared after he died and that Luke was simply burning Vader's armour on the funeral pyre. This seems to be an element of continuity which has been altered and that the original intention when the scene was made was that Luke was burning Anakin's whole body. My question is, if it was changed was it an idea created by George Lucas himself and do you know when precisely it was decided upon? The reason I ask is because although recent official sources state that Anakin did disappear (off-screen) nothing has been altered in the film to reflect that fact. So anyone who only sees the film probably does not know that Anakin is supposed to have disappeared since they are given the same impression that the audience in '83 got - that it is Anakin's whole body on the pyre.

Yes, because on the QA section ( http://starwars.com/qa - Ep VI Lore section) a question is asked about who the men are that accompany the Emperor in ROTJ. The answer given is:
+Accompanying Emperor Palpatine in several scenes is a cadre of Imperial advisors. They are alternately known as Imperial dignitaries, or more sinisterly, the Emperor's Inner Circle. They wear burgundy and purple robes and have pale skin and sunken features. Many of them are key officials in the managing of the Imperial bureaucracy.
Among the members of Palpatine's Inner Circle are: Sate Pestage, Janus Greejatus, Sim Aloo, Ars Dangor, and Kren Blista-Vanee.+
Along with that answer is the same picture that has been linked to earlier. Although the answer names several members of Palpatine's Inner Circle, it does not make it clear that those names go with the men in the photo. As it happens, four out of five of the names do fit those in the picture. The only one unaccounted for is Ars Dangor. He may be the man on the far left in blue, depending on whether the answer was meant to say those names mentioned applied to those characters in the photo. |

He's asking specifically in regards to that article, in fact.

Hi Tasty!
2 short questions:
Could you tell me if the names of the Imperial advisors in this image are correct? I'm familiar with Sim Aloo and Janus Greejatus from the CCG and Pestage from the X-wing comics. But where do the other two names come from?
Also, I heard you once confimed that the reborn Palpatine was actually lying to Luke when he told him his death at Endor wasn't the first time he died. Is that true? |

There's conflicting sources about the death of Boga. The film and the comic leave it ambiguous, where the novel states that she is dead. So, what's up? Is Boga really dead, or is she alive?

I believe it is supposed to be the same Panaka from Ep I. Seems he went to work for the Empire in the end - the dastard!

In Complete Locations the article about the Emepror's tower on the Death Star II it shows a statue given to him by a long time freind a follower Moff Panaka. Is this the same Panaka from Episode I or a relation?

I've noticed Decipher copied Jabba's Palace Nikto characters, who now are known by two names.
< Yeah ... that was because Decipher did a lot of guessing at the end of their work. If the Nikto aren't easy enough, this only complicates it ...

And also: in Empire at War, Antilles raids Wayland in O BBY. Can you clear this up being Wayland was discovered in 9 ABY?

In the video game Star Wars: Obi-Wan, the Queen is kidnapped by Tusken Raiders on Tatooine and must be saved by Obi-Wan. I'm not sure whether the kidnapped Queen is actually Amidala, or just Sabé in disguise.
Either way, is the storyline of the game C-canon? And if so, who was the kidnapped Queen really?

Snake Plissken Katarn:
Quick question. Thanks to Master Zahn, can we now officially refer to Stacy Pink 5 as a canon character?
Stacy exists. All facts about her established in Allegiance exist. Everything else about her from fanfilms that aren't in the book remain fan material.

Hey Leland, I had heard that this was the place to clear up continuity questions. My question is: I had heard that Darth Maul was "resurrected" several times in the Star Wars Tales series. The problem is, all of the issues before 20-21 are now considered Infinities, though with varying levels of "canonosity". Which of his "resurrections" are considered canon? Or is non of them canon? Thanx

Isn't the Tri-droid from Ep. III much taller than 3.7 meters, as described in the databank?
That's why they're described as "scalable."
The out of universe explanation is that in the age of CG, trying to figure out exact dimensions based on film shots can drive you crazy because things get resized for the sole purpose of looking pretty in the composition of a shot. So a vehicle might have certain dimensions in one shot and different dimensions in another shot. When the CG model is created, the artists come up with approximate dimensions. Lacking any harder calculations from the films, we often go with the artists' original dimensions.

Hey, Leland, are the commanding officers giving you orders in Battlefront II Appo and Bow?
Is it Deviss who is killed hunting down Tsui Choi in Star Wars: Purge?
Can you clear up the contradictions between Labryinth of Evil and Clone Wars?

I've noticed Decipher copied Jabba's Palace Nikto characters, who now are known by two names.
Klaatu was given the Bizarro World Yotts Orren.
Similarly Nysad has also been named Lathe, while the "Vintage Nikto action figure characters remains unnamed.
