WEG is and always has been as canon as any other EU. When Zahn wrote the Thrawn trilogy he was specifically instructed to keep in continuity with the WEG sourcebooks.

Zahn + WEG = Start of "Modern" EU (ie, its when they started getting serious about keeping everything together)

On this picture, are the characters that wear the same outfit as Aehrrley Rue and Rum Sleg actually Rue and Sleg or are they characters that wear exactly the same outfit?

George will do and say many things. Though he's the top boss, we don't care what he says, because what we say is the truth and what he is saying is pure nonsense, though we've been shifting our own situation on the matter throughout the years
< True ! I never understood why George Lucas has been (and still is) ignored in the matter of EU. The WEG Sourcebooks of the Zahn Trilogy clearly states that these stories are not part of Lucas' vision but just of the author who wrote these books.

Another question then: Where can we see Mosep Binneed in the movies? Is he in the streets of Mos Eisley, though according to decipher's CCG that should be Tawss Khaa ...

Question, is there any intentions of ret-conning Carnor Jax as a Shadow Guard? First, Jax's garb is eerily similar to that of the pics of the Shadow Guard I've seen (except his use of a metal bladed pike instead of a lightsaber bladed pike). Also, it is said that Jax was Lumiya's apprentice and an aspiring Sith Lord. To be such, he would have to have a significant degree of force potency. From my very early understanding of what the Shadow Guards are, they are more force sensitive members of the royal guard, used as a more elite force (very similar to the Soveirgn Protectors of the Dark Empire era, which Jax was a major part of). Taking all of this into accout, I think Jax's ascension to the (self proclaimed) role of Dark Lord, and his selection as Lumiya's apprentice, almost requires that he be identified as a member of this more elite, force sensitive group. It increases the believability of his character and the heights he eventually achieved

Mr. Chee, do we know if the Organas and/or the Larses know that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker?

From the flow of things, the next step seems to be stating that G-level and C-level are equal, and the final step being that C-level is above G-level (or perhaps erasing G-level canon from canon history) After all, to Lucas, the EU was never canon to begin with, so even if he is informed of what's going on in the EU world, maybe anything can be done without invoking his wrath.

Though I'd love to see is reaction if Luke is suddenly killed off, and someone asks GL "What are your comments on Luke Skywalker's death?" Would he say "Nope, never happened" or would he say "What did you say? Heads will roll!"

When and why did things change from C-canon material not being allowed to contradict G-level canon? Also when did the main purpose of those in charge of the EU change from making sure that the EU does not conflict with or undermine G-level canon, to handling such things on a case by case basis (which is just a different way of saying the very opposite of the earlier statement)?

To me all this seems like it's another way of saying "George will do and say many things. Though he's the top boss, we don't care what he says, because what we say is the truth and what he is saying is pure nonsense, though we've been shifting our own situation on the matter throughout the years."

And finally, they changed their stances and famously stated the canon hierarchy levels, regarding the holocron database. Even then, G-level canon remained "gospel" above everything else. There is no such thing as a case by case basis. There is G-level, there is everything else.

Credits to canonwars.com for archiving the quotes. So, while George Lucas stated a long time ago that there was his universe, and the EU which is essentially a parallel universe (which has nothing to do with his universe), and stated the very same thing again in a recent interview, those in charge of the EU have been changing their stances bit by bit.

I wonder how those who complain about Lucas supposedly contradicting himself regarding a lot of things (a myth), would feel about those in charge of the EU doing the same

So the question is, how exactly can there be a case by case basis, when the EU material's validity is determined by whether it does or does not contradict G-level canon?

The "case by case basis" regarding the possibility of C-level canon overtaking G-level canon is a complete contradiction of statements made earlier regarding canon.

"'Gospel', or canon as we refer to it, includes the screenplays, the films, the radio dramas and the novelisations. These works spin out of George Lucas' original stories, the rest are written by other writers. However, between us, we've read everything, and much of it is taken into account in the overall continuity. The entire catalog of published works comprises a vast history -- with many off-shoots, variations and tangents -- like any other well-developed mythology." - Stated by Sue Rostoni in 1994.

So we have G-level canon which is gospel. Everything else falls below, not just some cases.

In the intro to Rebel Assault, there's a video montage with a voiceover that mirrors what's going on in the video; for example, when it starts talking about Darth Vader, it shows Vader, etc. At one point it mentions the first victory of the Rebellion (since it's copying the ANH opening crawl verbatim I'm assuming it means the Battle of Toprawa) while showing a space battle. Can we assume this is the Toprawa battle we're seeing?
