Probably no more than the Uniform Code of Military Justice is the same thing as the US Code on federal crimes.

Are the Imperial Military Code mentioned in Children of the Jedi, and the Imperial Penal Code mentioned in The Star Wars Holiday Special the same thing?

That I do not know.

OK, the Galactic Battlegrounds manual says that OOM-9 started off as a standard Battle Droid, but then was promoted. Can we consider that to be true, and that he was retrofitted on promotion?
Sounds like it could be true to me.

Droids animated series B-wing
Likely, it's some sort of predecessor like the H-60 Tempest bomber.

What's the name of the Dark Jedi General Grievous killed in that Star Wars Manga comic?
The dark siders that General Grievous faces on Dica in the original Japanese manga comics are twins named Ka and Li. They survive the confrontation. The continuity of the manga comics is a bit fuzzy. I haven't heard of any plans for English version of these comics, so the Ka and Li names might not be the final names in English.
General Grievou...

I looked it up on Wookiepedia, and it says the "A-wings" in that episode are actually a preceding fighter called an R-22 Spearhead.

That still doesn't explain the presence of the B-wing, though.

Hey Tasty Taste,

In one episode of the Droids animated series, they show a scene of a hanger bay, with an A-wing and B-wing. Later in that episode (I forget exactly which one), a squadron of A-wings is shown.

In my New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels it says the A-wing wasn't developed until after the Battle of Yavin. Since the Droids series is supposed to take place in "the early days of the Empire", how can A-wings be present?

One more POD ship question (I swear this is it!): are the "Dreadnaught cruisers" mentioned in it the same as the Rendili Dreadaught cruisers used in the 'modern' era?

And when did Armand Isard die in? Was it before or after the Battle of Yavin?

Is Simon the Killer Ewok considered canon?
Do not question Simon's canon, or he will show you his cannon. :p

Tasty: so Simon is as canon as the "demented, pint-sized lagomorph" who appears here, right? :D

(For the confused, it's the sixth paragraph after the Kyle Katarn, Jedi Knight header; backed up by double A-side sleeve-notes here and here and a Wookieepedia page called Max (rabbit)...)

Val: hey!! You should have seen what I cut out of that post (and the final version is still a mess of edit, re-edit and run-out of time - serves me right)...

;)

... but yeah, I agree with you, for whatever it's worth... :p

I've always (well, since AOTC) reckoned that Coolie was just another of Beru's sisters. I must admit I haven't yet read Tatooine Ghost, but does it say Dama was Beru's only sibling?

If not, then I don't see the need for elaborate rationalizations--far less for positing whacked-out McEwokian theories ;) involving anyone from the Naberrie side. Just make her a third Whitesun daughter and be done.

If it does, then I suppose "Coolie = Dama's nickname" would be the most efficacious fix.

Are the 'Aurek fighters' from Path of Destruction the same as the 'A-wing' fighters seen in the KOTOR games/comics?
That was the intent, with the same caveat mentioned in my above Hammerhead-class post.++

Tasty: Fantastic! Thanks, Policrat'. Though I wasn't able to confirm Cootie with the UK edition; in the US versions it's Aunt Coolie. Could Coolie be a nickname for Dama? Or maybe she's not a real aunt. Pillow-talk maybe?

No, that's just a gaffe on my part: it's Coolie in my copy too... :p

I think my unconscious was more comfortable with suggestions of cooties than coolies...?

Dama, an honorary aunt, and pillow-talk seem the most plausible options to me, too...

Alternatively, I guess, it could be Aunt Sola, if she could have had some contact with Luke without him knowing who she was...

A very odd question: did Palpatine know where Anakin Skywalker came from?

What's the deal with the Battle of Wayland in Empire at War? How does that fit into the chronology, since in The Last Command, no one knows where or what Wayland is?
Expanation hasn't been determined.

Cousin Nial is in chapter 8, page 101 in my copy (1995 UK hardback); aunt Cootie is chapter 19, page 255.

In ROTJ, there is a white-haired Ewok wearing a red hood that appears dancing with Wicket during the final scene. Can we assume that this is Wicket's sweetheart Kneesaa from the Ewoks animated series?
I'm unfamiliar with the Ewok you describe, though I wouldn't assume it to be Kneesaa. Possible, maybe, but I wouldn't assume.

I don't have these in the Holocron. Anyone have page numbers from +Children of the Jedi+?

Cousin Nial is in chapter 8, page 101 in my copy (1995 UK hardback); aunt Cootie is chapter 19, page 255. I suppose she could be the product of meaningless dream-logic...

Hope that's some help!
