Oyez!! Oyez!! I hereby, and entirely arbitrarily, declare this NATIONAL RETCONN WEEK!!!

tongue

If you know of a crux or flub somewhere in Star Wars continuity, and you can think of a new and innovative way to fix it - then now's your chance!!

Simply start a thread, suggest a retconn, and post a link in this thread...

Or, if you're so inclined, write a story to explain it on the Fan Fiction boards...

Obviously, I can't promise that LFL or even TF.N will listen, but you might have some fun - and I might give out some sort of No-Prizes at the end of the week... tongue

First, a quicj pointer to this thread by Keralys, and to my ownsubtle retconn on clone madness, courtesy of yours truly...

Le_S: I suspect they lurk, and laugh; but if any of the VIPs wants to mess with our heads as part of this, then we'd be honoured... happy wink

A pretty intricate one I had ready since some time... The Sith destroyed, immortality achieved through compassion, and Dark Empire. It's from my blog.

I like this idea, Thrawn, and it seems to be working fairly well, so far... interesting to note that our DHC friend Ryan Kauffman has even popped in on one of these threads. Maybe we can get Karen Traviss, Troy Denning, and Aaron Allston to take a look at our Yuuzhan Vong retcon, and Dan Wallace to check out that Palpy retcon (nice piece of work!)

As a note, a good deal has been added to my own little retcon thread, as linked by Thrawn earlier in the thread. Enjoy your reading...

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/jedifreac/log.doc = link to Loser of the Galaxy, 72 page fan fiction, started a few years ago, includes 5 appendixes including continuity fixes (fixing mistakes DelRey made), art work (fan art of Zekk), some humor, and of course, the actual story, including a one minute summary if you are a lazy reader. Have fun.

Retcons include Ganner Rhysode's one-book girlfriend, Myrkr survivor's guilt (unless addressed in future NJO books), how Tahiri, who can't even DRIVE, learns to fly and lead an X-Wing squadron; insight on Octa Ramis's nutso behavior, how Waxarn Kel of Force Heretic I got his facial scar, where all the other Shadow Academy students went after YJK, how that has to do with Lumiya, what the shi'ido are doing in response to the war, how Star Tours fits into Star Wars continuity (none of this third death star bullshit), why Zekk's homeplanet is constantly typoed, some theories as to why Zonoma Sekot gave a seedship to a lot of Jedi, but not Jaina; why Jacen and Tenel Ka don't talk at all after he comes back from the dead in Destiny's Way, how Danni Quee developed villip blocking and Alpha Red, and some insight over all on members of the strike team and their personalities.

Along with other stuff. All stuff that could have been answered, *sighs*

here are my 2 cents... though a minor retcon, I will try to come up with something bigger.. if Thrawn and the others leave me anything to retcon at all!

also who might be interested shall look in the Kyle Katarn Dark Forces articles thread.. nice stuff and some rectons in there, too by others and myself.

As we enter the third day, let's have a roundup of the first two days.




DAY ONE
Moving Yuuzhan Vong with the Force (Master_Keralys)
Memory and Madness: Spar, Spaarti Cylinders, and Joruus C'baoth (Thrawn McEwok)
A Fordolicious Retcon (Tam_Elgrin)
The Sith destroyed, immortality achieved through compassion, and Dark Empire (Starkeiller)
Loser of the Galaxy (JediSmurf)

DAY TWO
Force-Sensitive Yuuzhan Vong: "Slayers, Shapers, and the new Sith Apprentice, oh my!!" (Thrawn McEwok)
The Big Freeze, or, Luke visits Kamino! (Tam_Elgrin)




So, after a strong first day followed by a slow day two, what wonders will Day Three bring us? CeiranHarmony has already kicked us off with Lady Luck: Changing Starship Interior, but what else is to come...or is everyone saving their cards for the last day? batting batting
