Keiran Halcyon Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 About the Slave I, since when it fires from the middle? I didn't know it had blaster in ther, only in the bottom of the 'nose'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSchabbath Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Yeah that's strange. Slave Is getting more powerful as more as i read of it. I always thought it would be a small and fast, but not heavy armed ship, like seen in the Empire Strikes Back, but now it has multiple blasters, tons of bombs, missiles, torpedos (hmm, sounds like Hudson in Aliens ) Guess Boba should rename it into Master I or so...

Bluezman Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I read somewhere that George Lucas said that Boba Fett died in the original trilogy. Him surviving is Expanded Universe, not original StarWars. Maybe Lucas changes this for the Special Edition like he did with Han Solo not shooting first at this Rodian guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GidionTheDead Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 It always had this array of weapons. There are two retractable turbo-laser cannons in the "wings" of Slave I. There weren't that close to the ship's hull, though. Hey, look what Mister Organa-Solo (I am still laughing) did to an old YT-1300 freighter! Now imagine what the clone of a skilled bounty hunter can do with a Mandalorian police ship within 20+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't in the movies, it is not considered canon. Boba wasn't in the movies after the Great Pit fight scene. Thus he is no longer a part of the official Star Wars universe.

Cardinal4 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I'm sorry Gideon YOU ARE WRONG!!! That is the Star Trek Universe where the books are not canon, however Lucas being who he is wants people to read therefore he has stated that the Star Wars books ARE canon. SO think about what you say next time in front of other people. Slave I was impounded after his presumed death so Boba got Slave II (and if you've ever played XWA Slave II is the Pursuer Class) After Boba got Slave II he went looking for Slave I and eventually gets it back.

Lucas maybe says they are ok but there are lots of inconsistencies between EU books and the movies. They are NOT canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I hate to rain on your parade, but Lucas DID state that the books/videogames/etc. are supposed to be cannon but if you want 100% accuracy, then you rely on the movies... I have that quote somewhere... I'll try an dig it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broode Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Then what about books about Boba's backstory? I guess the movie de-canonises them. And in the SE of ROTJ, Lucas added in the beak on the Sarlac thing just to prove he was dead. I just find the idea of Boba coming back from the dead (out of a pit that can clearly be seen has no escape) lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Yes, I agree that the Boba Fett history is proven false, but it was never said to be fact in the first place. They were all said to be possible histories. And just to be technical, the beak on the sarlacc was in the original design, it just couldn't be done correctly due to time and technology.

There is no official Star Wars universe after RotJ, so what are you talking about? The EU is a "clouded window" into the Star Wars universe. It's canon until proven otherwise. Lucas approved everything in the EU. That means it's canon unless he contradicts it in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Kinnison Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 oh no, not canon vs eu again I dont care who says what, it has been generally accepted by the fan community that there are 3 things ruled as Canon for Star wars. The movies The books of the movies Radio Drama's of the movies. There has been many inconsitancies in the EU universe, mainly due to the fact of Authors taking some freedom.

Keiran Halcyon Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Well anyways, i'll take like cannon that there are many saber colors, wherever George Likes it or not. And if Slave I is a Mandalorian ship, it has far more years that 20, at least two centuries, since jango is the only mandalorian left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Is Jango truly a Mandalorian Warrior? Or does he just use their armor? Or is all of this assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Barr Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 EU is not canon- Lucas himself said they should be looked at as an alternative universe, and he feels free to contradict them whenever he likes- if the books want to try and fit in then thats up to them. He has nothing against them but THEY ARE NOT CANON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
