	Well, list em. I think a few things were definitely left out, and some things, like Infinites (Darths Maul and Vader, it never happened!!!) shouldn't have been on the list. Lets' put our top 20's. Go. And no one can argue about someone's ideas, no matter how ..... silly we find them. -----signature----- It's been an experience. 8000, and done!

	Anakin Solo's death. It was so shocking and unexpected. It also had alot of ramifications and effects on everyone. Besides Anakin is one of my most favorite EU characters. Han and Leia's wedding. Yes, I know there's not much there about in COPL, but it's a pretty big event. The re-formation of Rogue Sqaudron and the creation of Wraith Sqaudron. Wedge's Lt. Kettch prank on Wes. It. Was. Priceless. -----signature----- Buaidh no bas Wraith 10 of XWSFC Member of the Chewbacca Fanclub "Brothers don't whistle while they work, Jon."- Larry Wilmore, The Daily Show

	Tiershon_Fett posted on 7/30/05 7:52pm some things, like Infinites (Darths Maul and Vader, it never happened!!!) shouldn't have been on the list. Resurrection is canon now, I believe, due to reference by Abel Pena. I could be mistaken.

	I've only began reading the prequel novels. When the Yuuzhan Vong are first introduced as the Far Outsiders in Rogue Planet. When Yoda and Windu concur on the the knighting of Anakin Skywalker in Jedi Trial. When Anakin tears down an entire building by shouting in Labyrinth Of Evil. Thought it was cool. That is about it. -----signature----- " From my point of view the Jedi are evil " " The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural " " Do what must be done Lord Vader, do not hesitate, show no mercy " " Hence forth, you shall be known as Darth Vader "

	Resurrection is canon now, I believe, due to reference by Abel Pena. I could be mistaken. What's canon is onscreen I believe, where he was cleaved in two, quite visibly, by Obi-wan. Which propelled Sidious to take on Dooku as a new apprentice. That is kinda G Level Canon right? Not arguing, but it's in the movies. Maul died. Unless Maul was a clone in the Resurrection. But I don't believe that, because Palps would happily have fried Vader and have his "boy" that he raised since bieth, back with him. -----signature----- It's been an experience. 8000, and done!

	I think the point in Resurrection is that Maul was just recently resucited without the knowledge of Palpatine. -----signature----- Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost. I don't mind, you don't mind... cause I don't shine if you don't shine. ... Grand Inquisitor of the Church of Waru

But I don't believe that, because Palps would happily have fried Vader and have his "boy" that he raised since bieth, back with him. The Maul in that story is some sort of clone by Sith heretics who were pissed about Vader's ex-Jedi status. They intended to have Maul 2.0 kill Vader and then offer him to Palpatine as a replacement. It's plausible-- far stranger things have happened in Star Wars. As for Palpatine favoring Vader ovar Maul-- everything shown so far points toward Maul being a pawn, a tool, and an "animal" who Palpatine didn't particularly care about (much like his Hands). I doubt he'd have chosen him over Vader. The point's moot, anyhow, as Vader iced Maul before his master showed up.

	I'm overall fine with the list except for one thing. I'd switch Phannon's death(did little for me) with the first apperance of Waru. -----signature----- Winner of a Super Golden Ewok™ award.

	My favorite is Darth Vader's encounter with C-3PO on Bespin as described in Tales. Other notable mentions are the death of Chewbacca, the first attack of the Yuuzhan Vong, Khaleen Hentz being pregnant... -----signature----- EUDF Rogue 5, Captain check upcoming books and comics at http://www.starwarstimeline.com and through http://www.twitter.com/onceuponagalaxy

When Qui-Gon accepts Obi-Wan as his padawan after they overcome Xanatos. 10. Jaina going to the dark side after Anakin's death and shooting some bolts. 11.
