Hi Tasty,

I was wondering what the Holocron does when certain parts of a C-canon source are overridden by other C-canon or G-canon sources? For example, in Marvel Star Wars 61#: Screams in the Void, the Rebels use modified TIE fighters to sneak into an Imperial fleet and attack it; each TIE can fire 6 normal shots, and one `ultra-power' blast which unleashes the rest of the TIE's cannon's power in one shot. The TIE fighters ordinary shots blow massive chunks out of Imperial Star Destroyers, and a single ultra-power blast destroys a quarter of a fully shielded Super Star Destroyer.

Other C and G-canon sources would indicate this level of destruction wouldn't be possible for a humble TIE, yet obviously the rest of the story itself (chronicling Shira Brie's story) is canon - so how does the Holocron record a discrepancy like this? If an author uses the Holocron for reference, are they alerted to a possible continuity error? My apologies if this has been answered already.

But how can the Holiday Special's Cantina layout be non-continuity when the databank entry for the Cantina, as well as the ROTS incredible cross-sections book specifically say that Ackmena and Wuher shared duties at Chalmun's Cantina. Wouldn't this confirm that the Cantina seen in ANH and the one seen in the Holiday Special are the same ones? And as for the difference in layout, one could easily say that the Cantina underwent renovation between ANH and the Holiday Special. (Continued below)

Hi Leland,

Just a question regarding the recent What's The Story? entry that was never published - the Covert Ops Clone Trooper.

Pablo told us:
A winning entry was selected, but it became apparent that projects in the works tread too closely to the lore being established in the CO troopers, that the call was made to pull it. Better that than introduce an instant-continuity error.

Fair enough. Though I'd really love to know:

• Did this winning entry make it into the Holocron in any form?
• Which fan wrote the winning entry?

Thanks.

The Union comics depict a female Twilek Jedi with "white" colouration attending the Jedi wedding. Who is this?
The Union comics started coming out before we started the Holocron, so unfortunately, I don't have early outlines/scripts that describe that scene that may have noted who this was supposed to be. Certainly, it could be Swilja Fenn from Edge of Victory I: Conquest, though I doubt this was either author's intent. No word on who the Quarren Jedi is or what a Empatojayos Brand look-alike would be doing there.

did Lak Sivrak and Dice Ibegon really have a time-shifting attunement to the Force?
Unlikely, not even as an Aing-Tii flow-walking thing. More likely this is some sort of dream.

but how do we explain the different lay-out of the Cantina?
I would explain it as the Holiday Special layout being non-continuity. By the way, Greedo and Chief Bast are still dead.

*Tasty Taste*-- In the story "One Last Night in the Mos Eisley Cantina: The Tale of the Wolfman and the Lamproid", did Lak Sivrak and Dice Ibegon really have a time-shifting attunement to the Force? If so, does that mean they joined Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda as force ghosts on the Endor moon?

Tasty Taste: >>No current plans to make the Darth Maul "Nameless" story from Star Wars Tales #10 in-continuity.<<

Technically, at least one element of "Nameless"---the Twi'lek Jedi Siolo Ur Manka---has already been referenced into canon, by Abel Pena in The Dark Forces Saga, Part 4. Under the Boc section, one Siolo'urmanka is mentioned; this would be the Ryl version of the Siolo's name.

Isn't that a name of a Jawa trader on Mos Eisley or was that Aquilae?

Btw, did you know that Captain Typho has gotten a first name? It's Gregar and it had appeared in 'Death on Naboo' in the 'Last of the Jedi' series.

< It would make an episode with no true meaning in my opinion.

I was wondering. For WTS, are we 'allowed' to use conceptual planet names like Aquilae or Kettbrae or are these names already in the Holocron? I've always stayed away from them because George Lucas often revisits old ideas, so who knows that these names will appear in any of the tv series in the future.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Tasty:

The descriptions of the "Flivians" in "The Farrimmer Cafe" and Star Wars Adventure Journal 11 and of the "Filvians" in The Last Command and WEG supplements like Alien Encounters are suspiciously similar (horselike, semi-quadrupedal, adapted to desert environments, etc.) Is one name simply a typo for the other?

Thanks!
