BigMike322 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I would love to see the Kotor Brotherhood of Shadow mod become canon, or at least Matilda. What does everyone think?
boinga1 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Not bloody likely. Particularly as it's a computer game and the mod isn't approved by Lucasfilm (I assume), it will never be canon, unless things change. Particularly since KOTOR is getting pretty old and a relatively small number of Star Wars fans have actually played the mod, I wouldn't bet on it happening.
swphreak Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Fanfiction will become canon over my dead body.
Nancy Allen`` Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 But people who read fan fiction might take elements from it to use in their games. The Wild Things scenario for one of the Resident Evil games was based on a comic for example.
PoiuyWired Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Fanfiction will become canon over my dead body. ...501st ... *cough*
Nancy Allen`` Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 A friend's looking at writing proper Star Wars stories to be approved by GL and published. What would the chances be?
PoiuyWired Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Smaller the Brain Size of JarJar after a lobotomy and a few kegs of Juma Juice.
Nancy Allen`` Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 That bad huh? So how did, say, Timothy Zahn get the gig?
DarthJebus05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 If it fan-made content is canon, then I hope it's bloody not BOS. I liked it and all, but for canon? Ugh, that is a extremely terrible idea.
PoiuyWired Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well, Lucas Arts did host "backstory" contest from time to time on those guys lurking in background, and winners sometimes get their story listed as canon. But yeah, generally Fanon to Canon is a rare thing indeed. Though yeah it is nice for the little things to be affected by fandom interatcion. But yeah, things like that should be kept in check nicely, as it would be worse than Trek if scumbags like SS are allowed to run amok... Eith that, or fangirls writing side stories of love affair between Han x Chewie x Fett (don't ask me how, as I truly don't want to know, given that Fangirls can create terrors like Optimus Prime x Starscream).
DeadYorick Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I want MotS to be canon ;_; Isn't Mysteries of the Sith cannon? It was published by Lucasarts
PoiuyWired Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Maybe MotS means "Monkeyisland of the Sith" ?
DeadYorick Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Maybe MotS means "Monkeyisland of the Sith" ? I rofled at that. But I doubt that MotS means MonkeyIsland of the Sith. Why would the sith go to a Monkey Island? Lol Anyway isn't Mysteries of the Sith cannon?
PoiuyWired Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 MotS is canon at the basics, on the LS way. As with most game based canon the details are not important. I mean, its not like we need to count how many stormies and reborn Katarn killed and how many ammo clips he picked up...though details of Katarn and Jan Ors with some loading ramp action would be most interesting. Oh, as we know that There is also that possably uncanon thing about Katarn using a force power called "spear of the midnight pink" or something in one of the novelization of his jedi journey though...
The Seeker Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 That bad huh? So how did, say, Timothy Zahn get the gig? Writing for SW is a lot like becoming a mod. You don't ask for the job. You are chosen. Zahn, Stackpole, Perry, and all the others were approached by (bantam at the time, Lucasbooks later) and contracted to write in the universe based on their credibility writing original works in other universes or their own. For instance, Stackpole was writing battletech before star wars, along with a few original novels, and Bantam tapped him to write the X-wing books. So, the best way to write star wars is to write original Fantasy (surprisingly not sci-fi so much) and once you get a few published, you are at least one step closer to being eligible. Then it's just a matter of having the right agent to further your ambitions to SW. If you can't tell, I've looked into this extensively. I started writing a SW book when I was like 14, scrapped it and started an original Fantasy of my own. I finished that when I was 20 and have been working to get it published since then. Tough business for sure. And while writing SW isn't one of my major ambitions anymore, if I'm being totally honest with myself, I would not say no to an offer to write in the universe. Even still have a plot knocking around in my skull for just such an occasion. Sorry for the personal side story, but I hope I answered your question.
Mace MacLeod Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Hey, didn't Star Trek: Nemesis start off as a fan's script?
DeadYorick Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Trekkies are a different species dear. They are a star wars fan's worst enemy and there is absoultely nothing a hardcore star wars fan hates most then a Trekky. Its vice versa with trekkies. Anyway I think that Cannon could be cannon. Maybe it could be bought out and referenced in the credits.
Kain Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Isn't Mysteries of the Sith cannon? It was published by Lucasarts Be that as it may, good ole' toy boy Lucas has bascially said dozens of times that the movies are the only canon he recognizes. Therefor, GL is retarted.
