Jabba the Hut? Already retconned in Tales From Jabba's Palace.

The Holocron tracking is internal - again, the key phrase. Chee was kind enough to pull back the curtain, so to speak, to glimpse a little about how the Holocron works. S-canon and C-canon are both EU, and as far as for people not working with the Holocron (i.e. vast majority of SW fans) has little meaning. It's "movie/Lucas > TV series > everything else" for us, really.
'Meaningless' means - quite simply - that the current batch of prolific SW authors don't really seem to see much of a difference between "S" and "C". Personally, I would've been fine with the Marvel series being dropped off the face of the Earth - Wallace, Fry, Hidalgo, Pena etc. completely turned me around on it. I'm not sure what even would be considered "S" now anyways - but like I said, if the authors don't care, I'm not sure why I should. YMMV.

I'm also not sure what point you are trying to make, Myron. If it is "what the hell does it matter, we are doomed anyways", then fine. I respect that. I just don't agree with it, not yet anyways (being sorely tested, though, especially with this Marvel re-release).

But as far as S meaning "optional", nothing presented detracts from that. I was already aware of every quote, and had considered them. Heck, I even asked one of the questions. "Available" means optional. Something that is merely available, can not be called part of a interconnected continuity. That Chee does not make arbitrary calls is why he doesn't sit down writing his own version of continuity (though I wished he would), and in stead lets authors define stuff freely, so long as they do so within the confines of what already exists.

But probably the most important quote (in my mind at least):

"The Holocron canon field is entirely for internal purposes. " - Chee - 03.02.05

But it's really all moot anyways. The inclusive nature of most recent works - the Essential Atlas springs to mind - renders any arbitrary delineation between C- and S-canon pointless. If the surface of Bespin, tropical Kessel and Tiltony are C-canon now, what else is left to say?

"*Who makes the decisions to consider some of the Marvel series "canon" and some not? *

Pretty much all of the planets, creatures, and characters in the Marvel comics are considered available for continuity. It's only the plot elements that are contradictory to the rest of the EU that are not.

Though I don't discuss specific continuity issues in this thread, I do want to the address the fact that in the Holocron, we track continuity by Holocron entry and not by source.

What that means is, a particular source would never be discounted in its entirety, only those elements of that source that are contradictory.

Hence, while there may be individual elements of say the Marvel Comics or the Holiday Special that are considered non-continuity, all the other parts can still be valid. " - Chee, 03.28.04

"*Canon: G+C+S
Continuity: G+C
Is it right?*

Not exactly. Continuity and canon and pretty much the same thing as far as the Holocron goes." - Chee 06.28.04

Since he said he doesn't have access to BTS info for the Star Wars Holiday Special, I was wondering if he was aware of such info in Star Wars Chronicles and didn't consider it official enough to make official judgments on canon.

I wonder what his stance on the SWHS behind the scenes info in Star Wars Chronicles is, then?

He spends a bit of time in the novel discussing how the holocrons hold simulacra, not spirits. It's in the same scene, I think, where he mentions why he left the holocron showing him with armor.

super_renegadegoosi: Yeah, you really need to use spoiler warnings. Luckily, I've finished the novel already.

With regard to what you ask: What we see in Legacy is a holocron projection, and the appearance of that particular character (which only matches a portion of his lifetime) is actually explained in the novel you just finished reading.

Plot info from newly released books (released in the past two months) REQUIRE spoiler warnings.

I now know what happens to Bane.

sigh

It seems that there is individuals, on internet, whose don't understand this "new potential mistake" as us.

If the other jedi from the episode have their name, but Sora and the Nikto have "...", it's perhaps because they were just the model. I hope. I hope.

By the way, they can use existent characters for their stories. Why can't they bring back some old characters, like Empatojayos Brand, Qu Rahn, Maw, Ranik Solusar, Corran Horn's father, etc.
So simple. So good for the EU fans.
