	Ok, Do I have this right? In gamer 6 in a totally offical continuity article we have: The Hovel On Terk Street Lando's Commandos: On Eagle's Wings. Three Against the Galaxy Outbid but never outgunned Note... lando's commando's show up in Galactic Battle Ground as some of the forces that the empire troops have to elliminate in the battle for bespin. In COD, and Databanks. Yaddle's Tale: The One Below. Note... that yaddle's tale is said to be a legend that may or may not be true, and way they they happen in the comic itself are questionable because jedi council membership is messed up a little(IE yaddle's apprentice is on the council when he souldn't be there). Going by memory: Single Cell Back near the time of starfighter's release and the release of the starfighter short story, there was an article up on Lucasarts.com(From blackman as I recall) that talked about single cell would be in latest tales,and it would have a Nym story coming up that explored further continuity of Starfighter game. Infact the story explained a plot point in the game. Also of note, we have cerasi talking about tales: "In order to allow unlimited freedom of storytelling, the Infinities label has been placed on the anthology series, Star Wars Tales. This means that not only can the stories occur anywhere in the Star Wars timeline, but stories can happen outside continuity. Basically, if an event happens in Tales, it may not have necessarily happened in the rest of the expanded universe. For some stories, the distinction is largely inconsequential. For others, it's the only way they could exist (for example, there's a Darth Vader vs. Darth Maul comic coming soon)." He mentions how stories may or may not be part of continuity. Which implies that we have to wait for official links from other sources such as gamer, or RPG books, games, or novels, etc, etc. Well here's my question has anyone found anymore links to other tales stories, in Official Continuity Sources?

	I think you've got 'em all. Looks good. Personally, ( outside of what Lucasfilm officially thinks ) I consider most Tales stories to be within my own canon, including the Max Rebo stories. -----signature----- "You're the most compliant rebel I've ever met." - jaya02 Currently reading : About seven different novels at once.

	"Personally, ( outside of what Lucasfilm officially thinks ) I consider most Tales stories to be within my own canon, including the Max Rebo stories." Note you can have your own personal continuity, but you can't have personal canon. Canon translates from latin into english as Law. Only lfl has the right to define law. Personal Canon is a oxymoron term by default. So I think you meant to say personal continuity, right, ? So while you and me both can have are personal continuities(I tell you I do have my own that links alot of tales stories in just like you), we can't define what is Law(That's LFL's job). So I'm glad every time that LFL links continuity into what the define as canon, it validifies the story and lowers the chance of it being contradicted later. If you know what I my mean? .

	Apparently not until they get listed by other articles or sources saying they are part of continuity. Infinnities until said not to be. Honestly I hope sandblasted gets listed in a future sourcebook, or another story somewhere. Another that might still be official is death star pirates, considering it was original printed in a seperate magazine that was considered part of continuity.

	Not as far as I know. Neither one has been brought in the back-door, so-to-speak, by another source. While some view A Night on the Town as canon simply because Zahn wrote it, that fact is meaningless when it comes to canon. As far as I know, they have not been made canon by association. Not even TOS addresses any aspects of A Night on the Town for Mara's entry. -----signature----- ========== Intelligently Fitting The newer EU into Established Star Wars Continuity (Or How About a No-Prize) http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=1111146 "Envy the nations that have heroes.

	I know, but it clearly takes place right after Jabba Tape, which is clearly canon. It makes no sense for one to be canon and the other not. Also, aside from being written by Tim Zahn, that story takes place DURING By The Emperor's Hand... -----signature----- Mastadge

	"I know, but it clearly takes place right after Jabba Tape, which is clearly canon. It makes no sense for one to be canon and the other not. Also, aside from being written by Tim Zahn, that story takes place DURING By The Emperor's Hand..." Yes, it doesn't make sense but that is lfl's policy sadly. Everything with infinnities isn't canon, unless later refrenced by canon sources. Paraphrased from gamer 6, pg 113: "Star Wars stories not considered to be part of the Star Wars continuity are stories marked with the Infinities Logo, or contained in star wars tales." Note this was written before tales was marked with the infinnity logo as it is now. Yes it's a bum deal but that is lfl's idiotic policy. Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall reading an interview were someone asked zahn what he though of his story becomeing non-continuity, and he showed discust by the Infinnities policy. Does anyone have idea where that interview was, is, or if it existed?

	Up to update with an author's quote to keep this thread as a good resource for the future when marking which stories should be considered continuity. ">>Ostrander, Do you consider villie's tales stories to be part of his continuity(Opposed to LFL's policy that tales aren't part of continuity)? Personally? Yes. And I think the tag was put on SW TALES because not ALl the stories are continuity although some COULD be. But i also accept that LFL is the final arbiter, not me. John"

	I'd like to see the Vader and the Dark Lady tale be made canon. That one seems to fit into the timeline fairly nicely. -----signature----- Knight1192 Seeker of knowledge Purveyor of history May we all be illuminated by that which we seek Check out the Star Wars theories on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/vi/knight_1192/index.html

	Val, could you please tell me what some of the stories you listed are about? I forget and don't feel like looking. I think the first 4 are based on the stuff from Gamer #6. On the subject, I seem to remember seeing something this past week that put one of the Tales stories into canon. I don't remember what it was though! It may have been from HNN. . . -----signature----- The world looks marvelous from up here, so peaceful, so wonderful, and so fragile. ---Ilan Ramon, Israeli Air Force Colonel, Payload Specialist on the last mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia For looking you're droids the aren't these.

	"Val, could you please tell me what some of the stories you listed are about? I forget and don't feel like looking. I think the first 4 are based on the stuff from Gamer #6." "The Hovel On Terk Street" Greedo takes a bounty, and hell breaks loose. "Lando's Commandos: On Eagle's Wings." Lando and his commandos on an espionage mission as I recall. "Three Against the Galaxy" Three down on there luck tatooine drifters cause a ruckass and thwart a imperial moff as I recall. "Outbid but never outgunned" Boba Fett on a mission to protect his wife and child identities from being released on the market. Gamer 6 came out after those 4 stories had already been released, and added more to their plots. In other words gamer 6 is based on stories that came before it, including underworld. "On the subject, I seem to remember seeing something this past week that put one of the Tales stories into canon. I don't remember what it was though! It may have been from HNN. . ." Ya? look it up for us, .

	Hey, quick question as I am a bit out of the loop as to what's out there now. How many Tales are there now, and what was in the last one? I'm being lazy and not getting out all my Tales to see which ones I have. I know I've got up to the one with the Vader/Maul duel, and I'm fairly sure I have the one just after that. -----signature----- Knight1192 Seeker of knowledge Purveyor of history May we all be illuminated by that which we seek Check out the Star Wars theories on my website: http://www.angelfire.com/vi/knight_1192/index.html
