	2 and half years never looked so small, eh? Let this be a lesson for wanting more movies/tv shows "post-ROTJ" too. The EU is not going to be protected if GL has a vision. -----signature----- So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh? Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide? ... When even the creative teams refuse to make fuzzy Devaronians...it should be a clue, folks. Thus endeth the lesson.

	It could well be that Ahsoka is a movie-only character; even if she doesn't die, the new stuff in the databank hints that it's more of a "let's stick her with Anakin for a little bit just to piss him off" kinda thing. Maybe they decide to reassign her after a short time. I mean... I doubt that's the case, but hope springs eternal. -----signature----- choo choo

	Jedimarine posted: sabarte posted: Trip didn't mention it, but Anakin's now a knight shortly after Geonosis, and I suppose has Ahsoka for much of the war. How many Anakin-as-padawan stories are there in the clone wars? You've got the first season of the cartoon...how many of the books? Well, Jedi Trial is the story of Anakin's...well, Jedi Trial (actually a field promotion of sorts, like Obi-Wan got). The Cestus Deception mentioned him as a Padawan still, as I recall...haven't read MedStar or Dark Rendezvous yet, but I don't see any reason for Anakin's status to affect either. Also the Clone Wars comics, I know the Jabiim one was dependent on Anakin as Padawan, and he didn't get knighted till after Obi-Wan returned from being captured in that battle. Hm.

	Jedimarine posted: I thought the first batch didn't have/were incapable or accepting names? I thought it was something that the Jedi had to impress the Kaminoans to include in future troops? No, the names were just adopted after they went to Alpha's School For Commanding Clones. I think it's already known that Cody was at Geonosis. ETA: As to the overall continuity... I still maintain that this could work; my guess is that we'll see most of the existing stuff compressed down into the first six to eight months of the war. That may seem like a lot in a short amount of time, but it's really not; the amount of existing stuff is surprisingly sparse. -----signature----- choo choo

	Dark Rendezvous has the problem of Dooku and Asajj. Asajj wants to be a Sith apprentice, Dooku doesn't want to make her a one and his attitude towards the idea is totally negative as far as I recall. -----signature----- Recipient of the Confederation Ewok with "Rebel Yub"® Action!!

	Anakin's also a padawan in DR, which means (if I'm right) that one'll be re-dated to occurring early in the war. So... I guess Dooku eventually caved. -----signature----- choo choo

	Anakin's not a Padawan in DR. He is mentioned to have just been knighted.

	Anakin is explicitly Knighted in the previous CW cartoons, no?

	dp4m posted: Anakin is explicitly Knighted in the previous CW cartoons, no? Which was, y'know, a REALLY LONG TIME after the CW began... Was it the beginning of season 2 or the end of season 1? This could be a substantial issue. If it's the end of season 1...you can condense. If it's season 2...yeah...that'll be harder. -----signature----- So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh? Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide? ...

Anakin + demotion = Sith even without Palpatine pulling strings. That's the type of slight, that to think he EVER could go on without bringing it up would be hard. Continuity might be saved...but at a cost to Anakin's characterization. -----signature----- So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh?

It was at the beginning of season two, but it's still not a problem. There was previously a gigantic jump there anyway; in the course of one episode, we jump from about 5 months post-Geonosis (Greevy & Ki-Adi on Hypori) to two-or-so-years later (Anakin gets knighted). It's actually less stupid if the jump simply doesn't happen. -----signature----- choo choo

	Sinrebirth posted: It's in the bit that's date-less, I believe. But after he received his scar, as Padme see's it for the first time, and C-3P0 is turned gold... No, Padmé sees his scar for the first time in the montage that kicks off the second episode. As for Threepio... the RotS novelization established that he'd been gold-plated immediately after Anakin and Padmé's wedding, so there's already a discrepancy-- but it's one that I'd argue is minor, since it's (mostly) merely visual. And, again, I think the best way to handle this is compacting the timeline-- moving everything prior to, say, Dreadnaughts of Rendili into the first six or eight months of the war. The only big thing it'll mess with are the HoloNet News dates, and even then I don't think it'll effect much. -----signature----- choo choo
