I'd chalk it up to artist license/gaming limitations. If I had to recommend the definitive continuity version, I'd say Dark Lords of the Sith since it was the look that started it all.

I've been looking to ask this for some time, but never found my way around these forums until now. Also, I don't have too much time so I skipped to here so I'm not sure if this was asked and answered. If so, my apologies.

In Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith comic the valley of the Sith lords is a deep canyon with carved out tombs in the walls, then in Golden age of the Sith of the same series it's a set of buildings and statues and is rather wide. Then there's the version in the KotOR game, the Jedi academy version (similar to the latter TotJ) and then in Shadow and light it's similar to the KotOR game. I also noticed that there's a difference between the valley in the clone wars comics and the legacy, yet similar.

My question is - is there any one specific layout/look canon?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if the Skyhopper that can be seen at the Lars Moisture Farm in Episode II has a more specific designation like the future T-16 Skyhopper?
No determination yet as to whether it's even a different vehicle.

*The episode I novelization and The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader both describe a scene in which young Anakin trades with Jawas at a place called Mochot Steep. Anakin's Fate contains a distinct scene in which Anakin trades with Jawas, but the place is called Mochat Steep. Are these the same place? *
Yes, Mochot Steep.

Is Jar Jar Binks alive at the end of ROTJ?
Possibly.

Mr. Chee, I know you have plenty of work to do but I was just wondering if you could, please, indulge my curiosity about three continuity aspects:

1) How many CANON Bpfasshi Dark Jedi insurrections were? Do you have canon exact dates for them?
2)Can Timothy Zahn's PE dates be converted to BBY using the current date of the Outbound Flight departure?
3)What's the canon in-universe solution to problem of Katana records that include information considering C'baoth being cloned? The Last Command

Thanks for your time.

If so, are there any plans for him to meet Leia and/or Luke since he is the only living person who knew their mother and father as adults?

Anakin's Fate contains a distinct scene in which Anakin trades with Jawas, but the place is called Mochat Steep. Are these the same place? If so, is one of these spellings correct and the other in error, or are they spelling variants, like color and colour? Or, are these two different places on Tatooine with similar names?

Thank you Leland :) Can't you just give him a name ? :p

It's another Gotal; you can see both of them distinctly in Star Wars: Complete Locations.

*Who is this Senator? Why is this photo labeled as 'Corporate Alliance'?

This Senator is unnamed. No idea why it would be labelled Corporate Alliance. Yahoo handles the labelling of those images internally; maybe check with Y2-D2.

Making it Kerru is an interesting idea.

Is the Gotal sitting at Momaw Nadon's table in the Cantina Feltpern Trevagg or another unnamed Gotal? Perhaps Kerru who was introduced in a metal figure set by WEG, such as Cedo Partu was.

The only thing debatable about video games are their game mechanics and non-continuity content. And while that is vague enough in itself, and leaves plenty to wonder about, it limits the area of confusion.

Sith Knight. As far as proof goes that title wouldn't be any more unreliable than a title found in a comic or novel. However, the non-continuity content may kill this one. As I recall, those troops were only available in Multiplayer games, not the game's storyline. And as such they fall in dubious territory, just like dark side-only elements and character traits that are not necessary for the storyline to progress.

I could give you some fan interpretation here, but hopefully Tasty will adress this once and for all.

Since the canonicity of the    Star Wars     video games is dicutable, I'd like to know wether the Sith rank of "Sith Knight" and all its background - seen in    Galactic Battleground     - are official or not ( I hope so <3). I look forward your answer ! :)

Look, I don't mean to be rude at all but ... please ... How can this possibly be canon? Today's problem is that everything 'needs' to be included in the SW continuity.

I have a coloring book where Luke is having an extra pocket in his Bespin jacket compared to the movie. Is that canon too? And what about the dogs in the eighties who ate Star Wars dog biscuits, can we add these to the canon too? :p

What sort of Canon level can we expect for the SW escapades in SoulCalibur 4? I expect non-continuity, but based on the SC2 trend, a storyline will likely be made to justify it for the game, so who knows?

I was wondering when there will be an official revision of all the 'mistakes' or correct decisions (Hyst vs Zutton) Decipher made in an article on SW.com or the SW Insider? Recently, a lot of characters have been identified but not always according to their decipher image (John D for example). This can be very confusing for many fans, I guess.

John D (Red Four) is the pilot played by Jack Klaff as seen in the film. Lt. Naytaan (Red Nine) is not seen in the film, but he is credited with the line "It's a hit!" spoken just after Red Leader fires his torpedoes into the exhaust port.

There is not an official source for a "Darth Phobas." And don't get me started on "Tuilek Fodder".

I take it neither of those are in the game, or Aayla Secura?

I was wondering if you could settle the issue about John D. Branon. Decipher called the character played by Klaff (who played John D. according to the original credits) Lt. Naytaan instead of John D.

So I was wondering, is John D. still seen onscreen in 'ANH' or will he remain offscreen (because of Decipher).
