Duncan Barr Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 how this for not being canon: In Vaders Quest the emperor is initially unaware Vader is/was Anakin Skywalker- and Vader is unaware that the emperor finds this out. Kinda contradicts the PT doesnt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 How many times must this be stated...EU is considered canon unless contradicted by higher canon, which is what K_K listed. Jango Fett was actually adopted and raised by the Mandalorians. He was also their only survivor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 getting back to the orginal post. Slave I is Jango's and Boba's original ship but after Boba escaped the sarlac (with Dengar's help) he found his ship about to be stole by another bounty hunter. Bossk the Trandoshan to be exact. So Boba used his skills and drove out Bossk who jettisoned out with an escape pod left his own ship behind. So Boba, being the kick ass bounty hunter he is took Bossk's ship, named it Slave II, and left his ship behind so it would be impounded thus making everyone think he was really dead. He later got back the Slave I after finishing some buisness. I have never heard of any other ships beloning to Boba other than Slave I and II.

That's what the EU is! To those of you who say EU is cannon as long as it doesn't contradict any of the movies... almost all of the EU is contradictory in terms of the time line. For instance, the expanded universe said that the mandolorians were super commandos defeated by the jedi knights during the clone wars, and surprise, we just saw the slave 1 with jango and bobo and did you hear anything about mandolorians??? didnt think so. Anything you read about boba in the EU is contradictory crap just to get dumba$$es who are obbsesed with characters in the original trilogy (who had little or no lines) to buy their stupid fiction books. I'm sorry guys but Boba died in ROTJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebelwerfer_ Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 EU books have the most secluded and stationary plots. They'll make a whole series of books on someone who just "walks by" in the OT. For instance, they'll be like "we'll make a book on the guy on the top left corner of the screen in SW ANH who you can see for a split second", and then they'll make him battle boba fett, and Luke or han will have a camio that contradicts some other book...

Darth Facism Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I would have to say the movies are the final word in the Star Wars universe. The books and comics are just fun reading material. You've seen Lucas contradict his own movies with the others he's made, so why would the books have any more bearing on the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiran Halcyon Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Originally posted by Jaster21801 Is Jango truly a Mandalorian Warrior? Or does he just use their armor? Or is all of this assumption? From ESB novelization: Boba Fett. Human Bountyhunter, Fett was famou for his brutal unplacable methods. He was dressed with an armored spacesuit and full of weapons, similar to the one used by evil warriors*, defeated by the Jedi Knights in the Clone Wars. *Mandalorians? Well Canon contradicsts canon, worderful, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Mandalorians are humans, just as Corellians (sp?) are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Originally posted by Metallus Slave II: Dark Empire kicked some ass. Btw, to the guy who said that Fett renamed the Hound's Tooth (Bossk's ship), this image (and others I've seen) don't look like the Hound's Tooth. If people want, I can try an dig up one of my pics of the Hound's Tooth. But anyway, I'm pretty sure that Bossk's ship and Slave II are different... And yes I DID read that story about Bossk stealing Slave I, I just can't remember the ending and I probably don't have the book anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I guess the biggest continuity issue between Expanded Universe and the movies is that Boba Fett's "real" name in EU is Jaster something, and Boba has always been Boba in the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaster21801 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 if you wanna be technical, the story of Jaster Mereel was one of many guesses at Fett's background. Lucas has obviously thrown these stories out the window though... I dunno, now I still kinda wanna know about Jango's past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 If you are talking about the EU then Slave 4 exists. in the bounty hunter anthology Boba is flying the slave 4 around. if there is a slave 4 then you can assume that there was a slave 3.
