Unfortunately.

However, this new T-canon brings some promise. Perhaps it is a move by Leland to minimize contradictions somehow.

At this stage in time, Marvel should really be considered C canon, with the exception of the rare issue (eg., #78 and +Flight of the Falcon+) that's beyond retconning. A good majority of the series has been referenced in later sources. But even simply out of respect for the fact that these are the first stories, authors and illustrators of the EU, there should be no question of their place and status in the Star Wars saga.

I think S canon status should be reserved for the modern video games to allow the creators (who don't have the time to research the EU) to simply make fun games utilizing whatever scenarios, events or characters they want (with the exception being multimedia events like The Force Unleashed where time has been spent ensuring the continuity of the story.)

Are there any official explanations for vos being on kashyyyk in the clone wars vol 9 during ROTS? Ben says he his troops were moving and he was stationed on boz pity, I took this to mean his troops were going there and he followed them later because he had some unfinished business but has any official explanation been given?

So, there are two possible explanations that I can think of:

1) I've misunderstood S-canon completely, and Han Solo featuring in a work of G-canon automatically makes every S-canon storyline, name and object centering on him C-canon.

2) S-canon is merely a non-canon, yet approved pool of ideas which licenced artists are free to draw upon for inspiration in their works, compared to N-canon, which they are prohibited from drawing upon in any way. For example, creators are free to canonize Crimson Jack from Marvel Star Wars 7 if they are so inclined, in which case the storyline about him from that comic never happened, whereas they cannot canonize Tag & Bink however much they want to.

Which is correct? And if neither, please explain.

Tasty, there is something that has been bugging me for a while, and that is the purpose of S-canon compared to N-canon. I was hoping you could shed some light on the matter.

N-canon is obvious in its purpose, namely as "what if" stories. S-canon on the other hand is open for licenced creators to ignore or use as they see fit, which from my best interpretation means that S-canon sources aren't Canon in themselves at all, just like N-canon. The difference, as I've understood it, lies in individual elements of S-canon becoming C-canon if referenced by a C-canon work. This is all well and good, but I don't see the practical difference compared to a work of N-canon.

X-wing, on the other hand, has the Immortal intercepting the Tantive IV. The strategy guide says Vader's on it as well, and claims it was the one over Tatooine.
So is the Immortal just a misnamed Devastator? And if it's a separate ship, how does this all work out?<

From what I understand from reading the strategy guide, the Immortal ambushed the Tantive while she was recieving technical data from the shuttle Maria. It then goes on to say that the Immortal ambushed the Tantive when she came out of hyperspace. Obviously it was intended to be Vader's ship from the movie.

Oh, I didn't say it's totally different...

For Bug and Tomcat: Well, they are still mentioned - but the story was cut.

cool, thanks for clearing that up.

If this is the case, how can one be considered a Dark Jedi if they were never taught by one who was, or have never been a part of the organization?
The Dark Jedi are not an organization. According to Tasty, every dark Force user is a Dark Jedi. Ignoring the problems inherent in that position, even if I had my way and Dark Jedi was a name exclusively reserved for fallen Jedi, that still would not make them an organization.

To answer your question, anyone who use the dark side more than the light is a Dark Jedi. No teachings required.

I know that this topic has been covered and I have read a couple of things here on it. So Leland, if you could respond to this I would appreciate it.

The topic is Dark Jedi, and my question is this. Is the Jedi not a religious organization, as are the Sith? To be a Sith you have to have certain teachings. And the Jedi have certain teachings. If this is the case, how can one be considered a Dark Jedi if they were never taught by one who was, or have never been a part of the organization?

When Luke dueled Vader in ESB, Vader made the statement that he was good, but he wasn?t a Jedi yet. This would suggest that he has not learned something or has not made a change in himself that is required to be a Jedi. How could one gain this without the Jedi teachings? The Jensaarai were taught both traditions but were considered to be neither.

Sorry if this has been cleared up already but I am new and haven?t found anything regarding this since the 2006 post by Leland.
