2) A bit of a blast from the past; on page 71 of this thread, I asked the question:

+"A follow up question - of the two official continuities (the films alone continuity and the films + EU continuity), is one more 'official' than the other; which is the 'true' Star Wars universe? "+

To which you replied:

"You're asking the Keeper of the Holocron, so of course I'm gonna be a bit biased. The "film purists" aren't the types to be hanging out on the boards so it's unlikely you'll hear much official rebuttal around these parts. With that said, the reality is that a huge number of people who have seen all 6 Star Wars films have never played a Star Wars game, visited a Star Wars website, watched a Star Wars television program, read a Star Wars publication, or purchased a Star Wars action figure or collectible. It would be great disservice to discount these people as fans."

Hey Tasty Taste,

What level canon is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I know Lucas himself was involved a little with plot details and I also heard that it's hard to imagine Star Wars the same without this story. I know only the canon ending is, well, canon. But what level? Thanks.

I would assume the storyline is C-canon, since stuff like Dash's survival and their fight on Ord Mantell are referenced elsewhere, but gameplay stuff like Dash & the rebels blowing up the skyhook from the inside isn't.

And while I'm at it:

You said a few pages back how video games released before the Holocron was treated as S-canon. Does this include Star Wars: Episode I: Racer, then?

According to the Wook it was released in May 1999, and I have not heard of it being confirmed as continuity anywhere, which presumably would land it in the S category.

asiy05:

seeing that there's a fan pillar of star wars, i guess it looks like fan fiction and fanon will be canon and part of continuity.

Umm, no.

And as an add-on to my last post, if the +Super+-class is canon, it would be 8 kilometers long, right?

That's a good attitude to take, Sean8. I hold hope, as well.

Yeah, it'd be really helpful to quell fan concerns over the new information in recent "secret updates" to the Databank regarding Clone Wars 3D characters (most particularly the "made a Jedi Knight at the start of the war" comment which a lot of people who are blowing things out of proportion, IMO are taking to mean there'll be some kind of timeline condensing, source placement rearranging or source nullifying (or some mixture of the three) if you could perhaps let us in on what the official plan is for continuity here regarding the new show, or even when it;s set (easily after Obession, or more difficult throughout the entire war).

I just think some clarification (or, if you aren't permitted to tell us just yet, if you can give us an idea as to when you can) would help give us a better idea of how to process this new information, because at the moment, it feels like we don't have the same familiar structure we've had of the EU in which to ascertain a context to understand this in.

I realize I'm probably being unfair in asking this so long before the products in question are released, but I suppose it can't hurt.

1.) Do you have any confirmation on exactly when The Clone Wars theatrical film will take place. It's obviously after Dreadnaughts of Rendili (Anakin has the scar) and before Labyrinth of Evil, but beyond that, can you specify anything?

2.) Is there word concerning what year the Millennium Falcon novel will take place?

Totally understandable if you haven't gotten the memo, yet, but just thought I'd ask.

Holy cow! So, could you clarify even further?

Is The Clone Wars considered G-canon, or does this mean that T-canon in its entirety is not supposed to be considered part of the EU pillar, but part of the Lucas pillar?
