Can somebody explain to me the difference between C-canon and S-Canon? I came across these terms in the Lit Forum and have no clue whatsoever as to what they mean. confused Can my fellow EUDFers explain that to me?

This is a copy/paste from Wookieepedia, but I think it explains the different canon levels well.

G-canon is "George Lucas" canon; the six Episodes and anything directly provided to Lucas Licensing by Lucas (including unpublished production notes from him or his production department that are never seen by the public). Elements originating with Lucas in the movie novelizations, reference books, and other sources are also G-canon, though anything created by the authors of those sources is C-canon. When the matter of changes between movie versions arises, the most recently released editions are deemed superior to older ones, as they correct mistakes, improve consistency between the two trilogies, and express Lucas's current vision of the Star Wars universe most closely.

C-canon is "continuity" canon, consisting of all recent works (and many older works) released under the name of Star Wars: books, comics, games, cartoons, non-theatrical films, and more. Games are a special case, as generally only the stories are C-canon, while things like stats and gameplay may not be; they also offer non-canonical options to the player, such as choosing female gender for a canonically male character. C-canon elements have been known to appear in the movies, thus making them G-canon; examples include the name "Coruscant," swoop bikes, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, YT-2400 freighters, Salporin, and Action VI Transports.

S-canon is "secondary" canon; the materials are available to be used or ignored as needed by current authors. This includes mostly older works, such as much of the Marvel Star Wars comics, that predate a consistent effort to maintain continuity; it also contains certain elements of a few otherwise N-canon stories, and other things that "may not fit just right." Many formerly S-canon elements have been elevated to C-canon through their inclusion in more recent works by continuity-minded authors, while many other older works (such as The Han Solo Adventures) were accounted for in continuity from the start despite their age, and thus were always C-canon.

N-canon is "non-canon." What-if stories (such as stories published under the Infinities label) and anything else directly and irreconcilably contradicted by higher canon ends up here. N-canon is the only level that is not considered canon by Lucasfilm.

since my last post, I finished Bloodlines and Tempest, and even a Zahn book that I found, Train to Rigel (or something like that...too lazy to get the whole thing).

I stopped at the mall last night to pick up Allegience, but the book store was closed down. angry

speaking of Zahn, I am going to meet him on Saturday, for the 2nd time. I hope that there will be many fans to have fun with

Alright. Put me in a squadron. I've read the charter and was in the EUDF on the Galactic Senate Forums until an argument occurred with the administrator that really ticked me off.

"Delta needs a revive!"

OMG! Have you people been slacking?!?!?!

I've found 4 EU Bashes in the past 10 minutes!!!!

Read it yesterday, enjoyed it thoroughly. Good progression for the series. Next one is Traviss', though, which probably means a revisit to Mandalorians, or at least Boba Fett. Should still be a good read, though.
