SW Tales not cannon?

I was looking at the DH web site's timeline and noticed that they donate SW Tales as not having affect on the timline. Why is this? I think some of those stories are really good and should be considered official cannon. They should distinguish between what stories are not cannon and wich ones are cannon.

 

Cannon go kaBOOM. Star Wars Tales are not canon. This doesn't mean that you can't consider the ones that obviously fit part of the timeline, it's just a marketing move so that DHC can snare some big names without scaring them off by telling them their stuff has to fit into continuity.

 

They're not canon, but some DID happen. Consider "A Night on the Town." It takes place during By The Emperor's Hand, and is by the author of same. It happened, whether or not its canon.

 

Chris Cerasi said some stories are within continuity and some are without. It just takes other official sources to link those that fit into continuity.

 

Honestly, there's a bunch of Tales, um.. tales, that I'd want to be canon. The Vader/Maul fight *could* be canon and fit the continuity. I love the Boba Fett tale with Sintas (she's even got a full bio and stats, in a recent issue of SW Gamer). I also liked "Extinction", "A Moment of Doubt", and the Han Solo one where he's smuggling CRVs.

 

"The Vader/Maul fight *could* be canon and fit the continuity."

Though that will take work to convince others in lfl, cerasi and sansweet said that particuler story is completely appocryphal.

 

Vader vs. Maul= canon!?
ARE YOU A DUMB @$$?!

 

Have you read the story? It definitely fits!

 

Well in the story it had prophets of the darkside that cloned a darth maul on some planet. The story was good and could fit within continuity, but odds of lfl deciding to do that are iffy at best, considering some of like sansweet and cerasi have already said there statement that it's completly appocryphal. This is sort of analagous to devilworlds, yest some of the stories fit, but LFL treats it as fully appocryphal.
