	Movies only. I'm not against the EU, but those stories just aren't part of the "Real" Star Wars, which is created by George Lucas and no one else. Period. -----signature----- May the YUB be with you! Stuff :o s! Tribute to GriffZ, wherever he may be.

	Films only. Dark Empire sealed that for me. -----signature----- In here, speculation quickly becomes assumption, and then assumption becomes fact, and reveals itself as disappointment when what everyone forgets began as speculation turns out to be false.

	almost all EU is cannon. lots of stuff from varring sources is mentioned in offical lucusbooks work i.e. the new guides note on countinuy: even the films have contridited each other i.e. ben telling luke that yoda trained him but EP1 has some one else traning him -----signature----- Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

	I voted for the latter, but I don't really get into the 'canon/non-canon' debate. For me I accept what I like and dismiss the rest - since the main point of it all is to entertain I couldn't give a damn whether it was written by GL or some other author as long as I can like and accept what I see/read. If I don't like it I dismiss it. Simple. -----signature----- An apple that is shall always be, whether it is acknowledged or not.

	Everything that does not have an infinities label on it and is considered canon by LFL is canon, IMO. That means books, movies, video games, everything. It's much easier to fix a contradiction with a retcon than to make it apocrypha. -----signature----- **Commander of the EUDF/White Lead Currently Reading: Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card "Yes, I'd like you to meet my associate, Mr. Chewbacca." - Lando, Marvel #59

	I consider only the movies (and therefore their novelisations) as Canon. The EU is just..... EU. I accept some of it, and not other bits, but don't consider it canon as such. LittleJedi -----signature----- I don't know where you get your delusions, laserbrain.

	Hm. The percentages of this poll don't add up to 100%. Oh, on-topic, though, I voted that the EU is canon. -----signature----- Lieutenant Colonel 9-LOM "Syntax" Corsair Squadron Commanding Officer CRS Vigilant - http://www.bhorizon.com/renegade/1024.html "That's me, the life of the party" -- 9-LOM, 'One for the Money' "Flying is for droids" -- Obi-Wan Kenobi, 'Revenge of the Sith

	EU is canon. That doesn't mean that I agree or like everything that has been done with it, but I think a lot of that is because I don't like the author's style, etc. -----signature----- Between cotton balls and xylophones.
