• "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)

Ha - I saw that letter in KotOR 47# and immediately thought of you, Kasra!

To add to Kasra's question, Mr Chee; does the answer to his question regarding the canonicity of the Revan action figure's appearance also still apply to the Star Wars Miniatures figure of the Jedi Exile from KotOR II?

I realize that, Eddie. The problem is that Leland apparently didn't agree with it, and I'm skeptical that Tokyopop knew what the infinities label meant, since they tagged the fold-out posters, too. Additionally, there are era tags instead of infinities on the cover. So, I'm inclined to go with Leland on this one and say they're fuzzy, which sounds like S to me.

Another instance of discrepancy between Leland and Dark Horse. And Leland wins out, presumably.

Not that it matters to me personally. Infinites or slightly above Infinites makes no difference to me. It is worse for the casual fan, who embraces the Wook, which apparently has a strict policy that anything not absolutely 100% Infinites is the equivalent of C-canon. Making that small distinction that much more important.

And while I'm venting, I would like to complain about statements such as "fuzzy". What is up with that? Licensing has a continuity tracking system flexible as sin, and yet ambiguities like "fuzzy" manages to sneak its way in, indicating some level between Infinites and S. Makes me wonder if Leland is just trying to translate technical Holocron terminology into plain english for forum posters who cannot be expected to know everything he's said on the issue. In which case, an elevation to S seems to be the most likely interpretation.

My mistake, not on the cover, but from the publishers' summary:

"This month, Tokyopop will release a Star Wars Manga anthology filled with uniquely bold tales set in a peculiarly Japanese incarnation of that galaxy far, far away... For their daring plots and offbeat directions, *these stories are definitely "Infinities"*-that is, they don't actually fit into Star Wars continuity. Nonetheless, they are rich in character, detail and action and are definitely worth a look. This anthology, which is a mix of black and white comics with a few color spreads of original illustrations, will only be available initially in Japan."

That and the fact that it actually says they're "definitely 'Infinities'" verbatim on the cover.

Where? I'm looking right at the cover of my copy of Star Wars Manga Black and I don't see the word "infinities" or the infinities symbol anywhere (but I do see the rise of the empire and galactic civil war symbols).

On the other hand, Leland has been asked more than once about the canon status of these stories and all he's said is that it's "fuzzy." Furthermore, elements from "Dark Jedi" and "Perfect Evil" have both been referenced elsewhere (the planets Dica and Shumari are both in the Essential Atlas, which doesn't count for much, since it references N-canon sources, too, but Dica is also in one of Abel Pena's articles). Abel also said that he was going to reference Tao from "Perfect Evil" in his Vader's Legacy article. Finally, at least some of the stories (e.g., "Evil Eye" and "Dear Anakin") could fit into the continuity without any problem at all. So, I'm skeptical that the wook page is correct.

Edit: I forgot to add that while the stories have the infinities tag, the back covers still use the different era symbols instead of infinities, so once again, I think there's reason to hold the N-canon status of these stories in some doubt.

Not even that lucky, apparently.

I see what you mean, but really, we're just using different names for the same scenario here. Whether it's C or S, the same material would potentially be removed from continuity, and just sliding it "down the line" to S to be removed doesn't lessen the possibility of other C-canon material being removed this way in the future.
