I don't know about anyone else, but I think it can get pretty tiring answering the same questions over and over, or correcting misinformation on various EU subjects. So I came up with the idea of a FAQ to be posted here in Literature, to be updated with new information when necessary ( I can also send the text to a mod to post, making it recieve more "official" attention )

Here's the kinds of stuff we can answer...

"What is canon?"

"How to spell 'canon'"

"I keep seeing references about Luke turnng to the dark side, as well as the return of Emperor Palpatine. What book is this from?"

"Who is Nashira? George Lucas seemed to contradict this with Padme in the Prequel Trilogy!"

"Why is Obi-Wan using Qui-Gon's ( green ) lightsaber in Rogue Planet, but in Episode II, he's using a newer blue one again?"

"Why do the Jedi mainly use green and blue lightsabers in Episode II, when the EU shows Jedi in various eras using different, alternate colors?"

"Why did the colors change for the lightsabers of the Jedi Council? I thought Adi Gallia had red and Mace Windu had blue!"

"Are the Marvel comics considered 'canon'?"

"What is the length of the Executor?" ( ::shudders with dread:: )

Let's brainstorm and think of others that need to be added.

Who is Nashira?

A Fallasanni who lost her son and daughter like thousands of other refugees from the Empire's wrath during the Galactic Civil War. In no way shape or form is she Queen Amidala of the Naboo.

And I for one am grateful

"Are Wedge Antilles and Captain Antilles of the Tantive IV related?"

"Lando mentions that the Falcon used to be his, yet Han is the owner. When did Han aquire the Falcon?"

"WT*, Hobbie dies in ESB novelazation, yet lives in the movies and EU novels. Was this just a slight mistake on the ESB novel, or did someone never read the ESB novel?"

I'll think of more later.

Oh, and are we supposed to anwer these questions as well?
