I was wondering if information from the RPG "Child of Light" trilogy is recorded in the continuity database, as nothing from it has been referenced in any other sources

If Palpatine's genetic matter is involved, it's not wrong to say Triclops is his son. *
They call Boba, Jango's after all.

Niobi is a girl. The two are not mutually incompatible.
EDIT: Oh, right, the part about Triclops being an experiment by Hoole and Gog; it was always Abel Pena's intent that Palpatine's genetic matter was used in the experiment. As he stated here:
I can shed this much light: approvals was aware of what we were trying to insinuate with Niobi and Triclops. In fact, the original manuscript actually mentioned precisely what you just did QG, namely, that Palpatine's genetic material was used in the process. But that's a big bomb to drop, and LFL didn't want to commit to that. Not yet, anyway.
If Palpatine's genetic matter is involved, it's not wrong to say Triclops is his son. |

Mr. Chee,
According to The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, Triclops is REALLY the son of Palpatine. But according to Aliens in the Empire, a three-eyed mutant (supposedly Triclops) was the son of Niobi.
So, is Triclops really Palpatine's son or not?

Given Karen Traviss recent comments about the retcon for her entire series but not any real details, can you share with us anything in regards to an upcoming retcon. TIA!

Oh, that's an easy one. It's not Jaden on the cover, it's a new character named Relin. His name was revealed by Sue on the boards. |

About Crosscurrent: Does the cover illustration mean that the Caucasian dark-haired male model from Jedi Academy (the one on the back cover of the game case/box) is the canonical appearance of Jaden Korr from the game? |

No, Jubnuk survives. He's cut out of the Rancor's belly alive in Jabba's Palace Pop-Up Book.

Another short question: does Jubnuk the Gamorrean Guard die in ROTJ?

Another question for Mr. Chee here, this time concerning SWT TCG game from Sony.
We're sure that all of their cards pass LFL's approval, but to what extent? Are only the cards themselves canonical, or are their in-game scenarios (like with Jedi and Sith hunting a Holocron on Dantooine in 1 ABY) canonical as well? Also, some of the game's non-character cards portray established characters from both Galaxies MMO and the rest EU, while some other portray plain generic characters - like Sullustan Jedi, Rodian Rebel, Nautolan Sith. Are all those nameless charatcer canonical as well?

Do I understand correctly that any SW-related material that only made appearance in commercials/ads/promo materials, but had not been officialy released elsewhere, is non-canonical?

Maybe there should just be an Essential Calendar?
After the end of TCW such a thing will be really, really necessary... sigh

Using the dates as part of the 12-month calendar is definitely what I would suggest should we ever need to revisit the West End Games dates.

Okay, Leland, this one's for you:
Given that we just did the Atlas in-universe dating on a 12-month calendar, even the two films that had their dates originate on a 10-month calendar, and given other considerations of the 10 vs. 12 month calendar dating that we've discussed in the past . . .
It would seem that, barring a very few minor dates (now somewhat in limbo due to the confirmation of the ESB 10-month date as its 12-mnth date), all of the 10-month dates of years past seem to have been mostly limited to obscure RPG materials from the WEG days, S-Canonical and so forth.
Is there any chance that we could simply, for the sake of simplicity and user-friendly dates, just assume that the old in-universe Galaxywide News Nets and other WEG RPG dates from a 10-month calendar were actually on a 12-month calendar like the current one all along? Perhaps we just never saw any dates from Months 11 or 12. The only dates that would still be head-scratchers might be Fete Weeks (which could easily overlap with regular weeks very much like, say, Jewish and Islamic holidays that last more than a few days).
It would certainly seem logical and an easy way to "fix" the age old 10 vs. 12 month question in "one swift stroke."
And it'd fit with how we were directed in creating the dates for the the Atlas, which seems like it it the way things are leaning anyway.
What say you?

I always thought the Naboo blockade incident was supposed to make the Republic look weak (while making Palpatine look stronger), adding systems to support the Confederacy, since it may not have mattered to Palpatine which side won anyway, since he would be control either way.

I agree with you VK, but the thought that Palpatine might have had +most of +all of it planed makes him scary as the 9 hells!
