Yes, similar, but not the same.

Yikes. The above post was in reference to Luke/Obi-Wan fighting Vader in Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

Hello Mr Chee,

Are the articles from the old french magazine Casus Belli canonical or not ?

I asked it in the BCaT VIP thread before but Sue directed me here. So, any help here would be fine ... and very much appreciated.

1. Why are the Darth Bane novels placed at 1020 BBY in the Del Rey book's timeline? As I take it most of the first novel should take place 1000 BBY and the parts happening earlier can't take place 20 years before that, can they? Do you have more precise placements for the three novels in the Holocron?

2. Regarding the new timeline in the Backlash hardcover, does the Rise of the Empire era officially start at 33 BBY now instead of 1000 BBY, so that (almost) everything before Episode I is considered Old Republic era? I don't think this was the case in previous publications.

Thanks.

Awesum. Yet another bit of indication that the OT novelizations and radio dramas are S.

Granted, it does look like a shield around the planet being hit, but with a superweapon that throws stuff into Hyperspace, odd special effects aren't exactly hard to explain.

I actually have it all worked out in a DOC file. It isn't so much different order as a question of when you jump between PSP and DS. I go into it in moderate detail in the next "The EU Review," which should be released on SoloSound.net on Tuesday.

Actually, the DS and PSP versions MESH with each other. They interweave with each other. I've not yet set up the summary for the SWT-G, though, so I can't say 100% how the interweaving is done off the top of my head. That is in the DS version, I believe though.

Another question about Elite Squadron. The response to my precedent question was evident : the end of the game must take place sometimes between 5.1 ABY and 5.6 ABY (after the Battle of Mindor and before the (General Skywalkfer" six monthes end).

But I read that X-2 is promoted Jedi Master by Luke. Were does this come from ? I can't find any reference.

• "Dark Jedi" is

somewhere in-between, but it's also been referenced.
Again, it seems like these stories have been treated
d more like they're S than N.*

Luke,

For timeline's sake, what story references "Dark Jedi"?

Also, thank you for those links you sent me a while back. I have not had a chance to look into the additions yet, but I always appreciate input.

Hello,

The Tartan Patrol Cruiser is stated as 600m long on the StarWars.com Databank, but is contradicted by canon and common sense, (MOST LIKELY: 140-170M)

The ship has 20 light lasers, yet in the Force Unleashed Campaign Guide has 2 point-defence laser batteries consisting of 5 gunners per battery (so 10 gunners). If the turrets are duel mounted then indeed 20 lasers fair enough,

The ship has 120 max capacity of crew/passengers, 1000T capacity etc.

This is reminiscent of the CR-90 sized class vessels. The ship was also introduced in the Empires at War game to be an opposing force to the CR-90 and so be a similar size.

Also in the description in Force Unleashed Campaign Guide its is stated to be smaller than a Nebulon-B Frigate (gets knackered by them), and to complement Carracks, which usually means half a Carrack's size which would be about 175m.

Is there some other reason for the size discrepancy or a corrected size confirmed? (possibly via e-mail)
