Scrodo_Saggins Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 is the clone wars cartoon series considered official starwars cannon like the movies, or is it subjective to the EU standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 i heard GL likes it as do his kids. and he had to o.k. everything that is put into it. i think its cannon but i'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It's just EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiser_Cain Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 What's the diffrence between EU and cannon? I also heard Lucas approves everything in the toons, It was in the commentary for one of the shows, I believe the mace windu fight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It's cannon as far as I'm concerned. GL was involved in the story, approved everything etc, so how can it not be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 it trends a fine line indeed. basically anything not in one of the movies is EU... i.e if its not written by GL himself. the clone wars is as close to cannon as EU gets, but its still technically EU because someone else's work. however because of GL involvement that should make it cannon, but then as far as i know all he did was give certain things he wanted in it and certain thing he didn’t.... so my verdict = semi-cannon *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 episode 20 should prove that it is pretty close to cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weiser_Cain Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yeah, seems pretty silly to me. I don't care wether or not lucas wrote anything as long as continuity is preserved. The rules and history are the same in both 'universes' right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Not nessesarily, some EU books made before TPM conflict with the cannon story line of the Clone Wars. Like in the Thrawn trilogy they talk about the clones coming from a hidden Imperial base on a planet whose name Ive forgotten. It was controlled by the Emperor. However it could work if Palpatine created that cloning facility after he perhaps stoll the technology from the Kaminoans which we might see in Ep 3. But regardless its still EU and not cannon.

Weiser_Cain Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Starwars seems to be full of holes. Why does it matter if it happens while lucas isn't holding the pen? Is the star wars D20 rpg cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codja X Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 all the clone wars stuff appears under the EU section of http://www.starwars.com, but doesn't necessarily preclude it from being canon. If it's GL approved, then we can assume it is official. I wonder if this post has killed this thread, like all my other posts do. hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiser_Cain Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Actually I think I've killed more post than you. As for cannon I don't really care anymore after kung fu yoda. All I care about is could it have happened in the OT, as far as I'm concerned if it didn't happen in fanfics it's cannon, but I ignore the crap I don't like. Jar-Jar? What's that?

I don't ignore him though - i tend to think of alternative ways he could have a horrific accident:) As you've said - you can either ignore it or take it - if you want it to be part of the official canon and take it as part of the star wars bible, then do so. If you don't, then don't - e.g. jacen and anakin solo, yuhzang vong (or whatever) etc in the books - all bollocks if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeo Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Just a thought but wasn't it Jar Jar's fault that the entire Empire was allowed to form and Palpatine was able to gain absolute power since Jar-Jar allowed some sort of vote to happen in the Senate? Also, shouldn't the star wars novels that came after the OT be considered as sort of an "alternate" Star Wars storyline? Especially the great Bantam Spectra (what's their new name?) books series which I plan on collecting all of them once I can find/purchase them.

Everything is Jar Jar's fault - war, poverty, pollution, the serious situation in the middle east, my crap job - EVERYTHING!!! Horrific death for Jar Jar please Mr. Lucas! I must apologise for turning every thread into a Jar Jar bashing one. GL didn't write the clone wars so it's NOT official, but i'd be VERY suprised if he wrote something to contradict it.

You're lucky it's not Star Trek, but then I wouldn't know how to deem it worse than "full of holes" continuity-wise. Not that I care about Star Trek a whole lot anyhow, but for the most part, excluding a few games, books, comics, SW is pretty continuity-friendly.

Johch Ai'oki Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Who said I was? I'm just saying of all the sci-fi series, that in continuity, Star Wars will likely be held as the most continuity-friendly sci-fi you can ever watch or read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
