ET Warrior Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Now i'm not talking about rumored deleted scenes, only the ones that have made it onto the DVD (and will eventually make in on the AOTC one) or things that were shown in trailers but were cut out. I personally think that they are canon, because apparently George Lucas thought that they should be there, but were cut simply to make the movie the right length and keep the flow how he wanted it. Just wondered your opinions.
Darth Assan Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 I think they are, and i doubt anyone will disagree (especially seeing as some people consider the EU as canon, those crazy, crazy people )
MotionMan Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 I do think they are. Especially any scenes added to the DVD.
Kryllith Posted August 2, 2002 Posted August 2, 2002 Yes, unless Lucas says in the commentary intro to the deleted scene that it was taken out because it didn't fit the story (as opposed to simply eating time or possibly being distracting, like the waterfall scene in TPM). Kryllith
ET Warrior Posted August 3, 2002 Author Posted August 3, 2002 Ahhhhh, it is good to see that you all agree with me so far....
MotionMan Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Wait till Mez and the rest of the troublemakers read this thread;)
ET Warrior Posted August 3, 2002 Author Posted August 3, 2002 We'll have to hide this thread from mez..........
diluted_q Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Ok, can i ask.. what is it meant by saying is it canon? and what is EU... ? Sorry. I'm a newbie.. I know. but it's really annoying me that I don't know these things.
Kryllith Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Canon is the standard by which other measures are set. In the case of Star Wars, canon is the stories presented by George Lucas (ie, the movies). Additionally, anything George Lucas says about Star Wars's characters, weapons, aliens, crafts, planets, laws of physics, storylines, etc., not depicted in the movie are also considered canon; it's George story afterall so he sets the canon. Anything not written, or otherwise stated, by Lucas (which includes all the books, fanfiction/fanmovies, etc) are not considered canon. Hence, everything in the Expanded Universe is not canon. Basically what is all means is that the canon is inarguable when it comes to the purest Star Wars storyline/history. The canon superseeds all other sources, which means that things written in EU can be negated by Lucas within the movies (other writers have to conform to what he writes, but he doesn't have to do the same for them).

ET Warrior Posted August 3, 2002 Author Posted August 3, 2002 Well said Kryllith, couldn't have explained it better myself.
Master Bodle Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 If a deleted scene is included in the the DVD i reckon it is canon yeah.
Ratmjedi Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 I agree with what you guys say. It's not like GL is going to make a deleted scene with Qui-Gon Jinn still alive or something like that. Unless you guys can think of a deleted scene that contradicted what was in the fim then it is canon.
