*I think most of them were retconned. There is a retcon for why post-prequel Jedi have all kinds of colors, but to my knowledge there's no official statement on the whole topic. The only non-AOTC color that I'm aware of that was officially addressed was Mace Windu's lightsaber, the explanation being that he was borrowing someone else's blue lightsaber for a while.

Ah ok. Its just something I noticed while flipping through my old comics. I think I do remember something about Mace's lightsaber trade now that you mention it.

In the Clone Wars Season 1 Guide, the TCW film has Yularen's ship listed as the Resolute.

Previously, it was noted as the Spirit of Republic in the TCW novelization, and it was suggested that the Resolute replaced the Spirit of Republic when it became one of three ships under Anakin between the film and the events of Wild Space (and thus Downfall of a Droid).

I asked Jason Fry, and he said that no one had ever made him aware of the "Spirit of Republic," when writing, hence it being noted as the "Resolute."

Interestingly, the TCW Lightsaber Duels video game also, I believe, names the ship the Resolute in the TCW era, even when it shouldn't, for the training level duel between Anakin and Ahsoka in the hangar bay.

So, my question: Is the Venator that Yularen commands in the TCW film the Spirit of Republic or the Resolute?

Question, Leland:

Since such facts as dates and such get changed so much, that must either mean the Holocron automatically treats the entire source or entry of an erroneous date as non-continuity, OR that individual facts can be demoted to non-continuity independent of their entry or source. Presumably the latter is the case.

But if so, does the Holocron track the canon level of individual facts too? Can you elaborate on how this then fits into the whole?

The KotOR shields were a recent invention, however, so it is entirely possible that following the Jedi Civil War and Dark Wars, veterans began showing negative side-effects, and personal shielding fell out of use.

That's a good explanation. It could also be that the shields just weren't very effective overall, or worked in a different way than later shields. Maybe The Old Republic will shed some light on it, like in the Imperial Agent backstory or something.

You can also use a personal shield in Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron, though this may be game mechanics. It should be noted though that those shields slow you down a lot. It could be that Kyle's somehow bypasses problems present in other shields of the same type, and he passes it, the only model of this type, on to Jaden Korr or something.

Putting my money on ray vs particle shielding on the physical penetration. KotOR I and II have too many organic grunts with shields for Kyle's to have been a prototype. The KotOR shields were a recent invention, however, so it is entirely possible that following the Jedi Civil War and Dark Wars, veterans began showing negative side-effects, and personal shielding fell out of use.

On the other hand, if that were the case, Imperial Agents from TOR would not be employing personal shield walls no more than a few centuries later. So all I'm really left with is shield strength being the determining factor...or the users simply thinking passive shield radiation is a worthwhile trade for blaster bolts in the face.

Jossed by Weapons Factory. A clone trooper (Rex, I believe) reaches through a Droideka shield and shoots it at point blank.

Well, they've always established that solid, slow-moving things can pass through almost any shield. The B1 Battle Droids marched through the Gungan shields. Anakin and Ahsoka snuck through Loathsom's shield in TCW.

Though what miffed me about that scene in Weapons Factory was that Battlefront II explicity established that head shots do not work on a Droideka.

Bothered me how GFFA citizens had to suffer through holotheather showings of such abysmal quality.

I'm guessing it was something like the time when color TVs were available but expensive, and most people had black and white.

At least I can retcon it in my mind as being a matter of shield strength, seeing as Jedi don't try to penetrate Droideka shields at all, while the video game shields usually can be overcome with a few good saber hits.

Jossed by Weapons Factory. A clone trooper (Rex, I believe) reaches through a Droideka shield and shoots it at point blank. My guess is it's either another type of shield (ray vs. deflector), a very rare prototype (which explains why every random soldier ever doesn't have one, but not why there are so many sitting around all over the place) or they are radioactive after all and Kyle Katarn isn't likely to have any kids. Yeeah...

*What level of canon or decipher customizable card game? *

+ "...continuity "C" canon which is pretty much everything else. " By everything else I mean EVERYthing else. Novels, comics, junior novels, videogames,trading card games, roleplaying games, toys, websites, television.+

...if released after 2000, that is. Before that is beyond my ken.

Plus the fact that color doesn't translate well into holograms in Star Wars, and the images we see are full color and some quite artistic.

That was before the time of PROXY. Which I'm kinda glad of, actually. Bothered me how GFFA citizens had to suffer through holotheather showings of such abysmal quality. Must have given them a headache. Of course, the poor quality could be a good reason for the use of two-dimensional viewscreens on the side...

What he means is probably the flavor text on most cards giving a background to the character, item, or etc. is C-canon.I think most of it is derived from RPG materials, but some of it may be new.

Also, Kyle Katarn's shield is canon. As for his weapons...

Baas's holocron showed pictures in Dark Empire 7. The illustration could be IU pictures (not holophotos).

I think the Decipher's CCGs are C-canon, as nearly every other non-film and non-television sources.
