To save you guys time YES they are all C-Canon. They ALL got referenced in multiple scorces. I donīt see why all you guys think these young readers books are considered S-Canon.

And I'm also curious about Galaxy of Fear and Glove of Darth Vader in the similar strain (even though those aren't nearly as popular).

Ditto jayjon's question, and I would add Junior Jedi Knights to it.

Leland, is the Young Jedi Knights series S-Canon or C-Canon?

In the Ewoks episode 'The Cries of the Trees', the village legends established that when Morag first attacked, Logray was the only Ewok brave enough to stand up to her. The later episode, 'Sunstar vs. Shadowstone', features Logray saying, of Morag, 'For two hundred snows you've plagued us!" This, coupled with the Caravan of Courage mention of Logray being 'as old as the trees', seems to indicate he's really, really old. Still, given that the days and years on Endor have odd lengths, and it's not made EXPLICIT that the 'two hundred snows' line refers in any way to Logray's age (though it's a logical assumption, I'd like some confirmation), I was wondering if the Holocron had anything more specific- or at least confirmation that this is meant to be a reference for Logray's age.
Trying to work on his Wookieepedia page (woefully inadequate thing that it is) and all.

What company makes the IW-37 Pincer Loader? The The Clone Wars Campaign Guide says its Industrial Automaton but the NEGTD says it's Cybot Galactica? Why do such controversies still happen? Aren't these books edited or checked for possible mistakes?

Another question :) Is Nenevanth Tion the same character as Lord Tion who seals off Ralltiir in 0 BBY?

Leland, what does the Holocron have to say about Jake Farrell? Is Jake the A-Wing Pilot in RotJ who flies back to the surface during the DS attack? Or is he just the tutor from Rebel Assault who was obviously based on the appearance of the A-Wing Pilot?

Is it possible for a retcon to tie these two characters into one?

Mr. Chee, does the Holocron continuty database offer explanations as to why dark side users die different ways? Palpatine and Joruus C'baoth exploded in blue light of dark side energy, Jerec, Darth Nihilus, and others dissolved in dark side energy, and Dooku and most other Sith Lords just die and that's it. Since the holocron database explains that certain Jedi turn into force ghosts only when they know how to be one with the force, does it also have some explanation for this similar behavior for dark side users?

Mr. Chee, I just stumbled across the image of the dark jedi exodus and their arrival on Korriban shown in TotJ: The Golden Age of the Sith.

My question as KotOR reader is now, if the resemblance between Dathka Graush's helmet from the comic to the helmet as shown in TotJ is only coincidental - and if the person on Korriban is actually Graush.

Hello Mr. Chee!

I have a question regarding Mazzic from the Thrawn trilogy books and comics. In Star Wars Gamer 3 he is described and depicted as a human, but the comic adaption of The Last Command shows him as a Myke. What does the Holocron say about his species - is he human or Myke?

Thanks in advance!

Are the Jedi titles "Master of the Order" and "Grand Master" meant to be the same? They have separate entries in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, but Yoda (who was identified as a Master of the Order in the CSWE) was called Grand Master in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. The entry for Grand Master hints that the titleholder was the sole leader of the Jedi Order, which seems odd for Luke Skywalker, as Grand Master of the New Jedi Order, to be part of a council.

And while I'm on the subject, would that make Mace Windu, the Master of the Order until after the Battle of Geonosis per the CSWE, a Grand Master as well?

Leland: In the comic Purge, there's a clone trooper commander with the markings of Commander Deviss. Does he have a name? Or is he Deviss?

That quote doesn't give reason to think movie novelizations are G.

Also, I've often wondered whether that quote is representative of the Holocron's continuity paradigm. Confirm or deny, Leland?

2001 "Ask the Jedi Council" response by Steve Sansweet (director of fan relations) and Chris Cerasi (an editor for Lucas Books at the time), it was stated that:

"When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves ? and only the films. Even novelizations are interpretations of the film, and while they are largely true to George Lucas' vision (he works quite closely with the novel authors), the method in which they are written does allow for some minor differences. The novelizations are written concurrently with the film's production, so variations in detail do creep in from time to time. Nonetheless, they should be regarded as very accurate depictions of the fictional Star Wars movies.

The definition of G-Cannon the novlizations are included, but they are still less cannon than the Movies, OF course we know Have a T-Cannon for the TV Series that is above C- Cannon.

I could be wrong.

Personally, I take everything except contradictions to be of exactly equal canon level, so I've never had more than a casual interest in the official position on said. However, I would assume that as the novelizations are written separately from the movie by authors other than Lucas, they wouldn't be as "canon" as the things he has directed/produced/overseen (the movies and TV).

The novelizations are more canon than the EU, but less so than the movies.

This is a fan assumption, as far as I know.

Leland hasn't made such a distinction within a singular level of canon that I know of. Nor should he need to, when contradictions are resolved case by case.

That said though, a source which has been subjected to Lucas input will usually be held in higher regard by fans than strict EU ones, so for all intents and purposes in the fan perspective, a movie novelization will be higher C-canon than say, a video game.

The novelizations are more canon than the EU, but less so than the movies.

For example, the ROTJ novelization says that Owen Lars is Obi-wan's brother. Clearly not the truth, he's actually Anakin's half brother.

Therefore, they cannot be the same canon level as the movies and TV series as made by GL.
