Archmv04 Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Does any one know where I can find a picture of SlaveII-IV?
K_Kinnison Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 dark horse comic: Dark Force II has the slave II, dont know about the others.. if they exist
Jedi Knight XVI Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I didn't even know that Slave II-IV existed. I only thought there was Slave I.
DaRtH_kAnE Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 well after rotj he escapes actually from the monster in the gorund thing but some one stole slave 1 and he got a kinda identical ship called slave 2 and blah..blah..he continues
JK_Morovski Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 thats just written to sell more books to fett obsessed peeps
Darklighter Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I guess you must have bought them as well them, Mr 'Boba Fett avatar'.
DaRtH_kAnE Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 boba and jango rule btw! well other ppl have there opinons.
Keiran Halcyon Posted May 25, 2002 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'....
BlackSchabbath Posted May 27, 2002 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 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...
GidionTheDead Posted May 27, 2002 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.

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 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.
Jaster21801 Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 Originally posted by Bluezman Hence the title. Lucas maybe says they are ok but there are lots of inconsistencies between EU books and the movies. They are NOT canon. 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...
Broode Posted May 28, 2002 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.
Jaster21801 Posted May 28, 2002 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.

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.

Idiocy...infecting.....mind! --R--
K_Kinnison Posted May 28, 2002 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 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.
Jaster21801 Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Is Jango truly a Mandalorian Warrior? Or does he just use their armor? Or is all of this assumption?

Duncan Barr Posted May 29, 2002 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.
