	Valin__Kenobi posted: I just reread Republic 66 (Show of Force pt 2) and something jumped out at me in the scene where Dooku "offs" Kh'aris Fenn: Dooku posted: Not only did you steal from me, you needlessly duplicated my efforts and destroyed my plans for Ryloth! My friend, I would have given you Ryloth to govern had you obeyed my wishes. Instead, you disobeyed, lied, and stole from me. An example must be made. And then Quinlan Vos shows up, beheads him, and sends the Jedi Council the home movie of it. Anyway, is there any chance this could be retconned as the lead-in to the Ryloth trilogy of episodes? Fenn screws up Dooku's original plan to control Ryloth, so he goes ahead and has Wat Tambor seize the world directly? P.S.: The comic takes place 17 months ABG ... for what that's worth. Good catch. The thing is, if we keep everything where it is for now, Anakin is still a Padawan in Forever Young witch takes place a month after Show of Force, meaning it may not be an immediate lead in. However I could see that the delay in time between this comic and the attack on Ryloth could be because Fenn screwed with Dooku, setting back plans of conquest back by several months. -----signature----- My Icons: http://www.powow.com/thrawnrocks/icons.html Roan Fel's badassery knows no bounds.

	Not to mention Labyrinth of Evil. But for some reason it really wasn't brought up at the time, possibly because of the unthinkable nature of simply ignoring "Padawan" references - there was also the idea of the "six-month compression" which allowed the stories to remain intact, but the CWAS books threw that idea into chaos. Again, barring any more surprises in the second season, I don't see why we can't just ignore Anakin's status and keep virtually the entire existing Clone Wars timeline intact at this point (Jedi Trial being the glaring exception) -----signature----- Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.

	Well, the problem is that you're losing the visuals that way. All the comic panels showing Padawan Anakin are effectively rendered noncanon. I'd just as soon preserve the integrity of the comics themselves, and toss the TCW tie-in dates as well as the original dates, while we're in the date-tossing business. -----signature----- "Is there a captain's hat involved in this?"

	The problem is that the Jabiim story takes place over a considerable length of time, making it nearly impossible to fit without changing the story anyways. At this point, I'm just going to let it ride until the end of the CWAS and stop trying to reconcile the two timelines. I guess I'll see what Chee works out in the end. -----signature----- Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.

	At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if GL suddenly announces the Clone Wars is now five years long. Or that all the top members of the Confederacy were rejected from the Jedi Order. -----signature----- Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.

Or that all the top members of the Confederacy were rejected from the Jedi Order. Honestly, tacking on an extra year or two wouldn't really change much; just Vader, Palpatine, and Obi-Wan's ages in the OT. Just keep the 19-year gap from ROTS to ANH and things'd work out fine. -----signature----- Only a Prime can defeat Vader and his Emperor.

Yeah, and it would actually flow much better. For example, Obi-Wan would look his age. -----signature----- Skywalker and Kenobi: The team "Some men see things as they are and say why?

	I think you've found the secret to canon, DarthBoba... anticipate the changes and have the retcons ready! Bring it on, GL. "Jar-Jar is a Sith Lord." Explains his 'bumbling' around in an attempt to get the Jedi killed. Of course he helped Naboo win, as the Trade Federation was always meant to be defeated. "Anakin has a twin brother." Anakin was born on a spacecraft. We never saw it. The Force can make one, why not two? Shmi didn't want to sadden Anakin to know he had a sibling taken away by someone else. She was going to tell him in AOTC but died before being able. "Actually, the Holiday Special wasn't that bad." Okay, GL would stump me there... -----signature----- Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.

	I don't think we need to go so far as to extend the length of the Clone Wars yet. If we move Jedi Trial and one or two other stories earlier in the timeline and ignore TCW material timeline references there is an entire year in the middle of the Clone Wars that is already empty for Anakin and Obi-Wan. So far there has been nothing to suggest that the series has covered more than a year in the timeline. On the contrary, it probably takes a few weeks at most. Also it would place the adoption of Venators more naturally in the middle of the war and not to far away from the shift to Phase II armor, which not only makes some sense, but also is more or less in line with what was already there. -----signature----- My Icons: http://www.powow.com/thrawnrocks/icons.html Roan Fel's badassery knows no bounds.

	And drop Anakin's age in TPM from what, 10 to 8, so we can keep GL's seeming fascination with the number 23. Anakin: 23 years old in ROTS; spent 23 years as a Jedi, and 23 as a Sith Lord (died at 46) Luke: 23 years old in ROTJ. -----signature----- Only a Prime can defeat Vader and his Emperor.
