Clone Wars Star wars animation after the end of TCW

While I don't think TCW looks bad, and I would be fine with another CG series, they could easily do a live-action show as you said, a ton of stuff is already available. I want this now, but nope, Underworld has to be on Coruscant so it has to cost billions of dollars...

Not all of them. Republic Commando was one linear story. And most of the ones with choices simply have an alternate ending.

I don't think there's always a need to make a particular version of the game canon, but why does it mean the whole thing shouldn't be counted? TCW and a lot of other CW sources contradict each other. Does that mean they shouldn't be counted?

Guys, this isn't even up for debate. Games are a part of canon. I think in most cases, the 'light side' ending counts.

Again, not that I care.

Because they're games. Are you going to count Masters of Teras Kasi, or whatever you call it, too?

...so?

Are you going to count the Hoiday Special too?

As H_J said, it's not up for debate anyway. Sounds like you just really don't like games.

The background story of the game, with Arden Lyn? Absolutely. The cutscenes really don't affect canon or anything at all (nothing happens in them if memory serves) and the gameplay is your typical non-canon fighting game with (terrible) exhibitions using laserbats instead of lightsabers where you get to see what it would be like if Chewie fought Han Solo.

I like the games. In fact, I play some of them, but I draw the line between them and the films.

Well, that's just your personal canon then.

That's fine, because so does LFL and George Lucas, which is why we have G-canon and everything else.

I think "official" canon's become something like this:





...Don't you judge me.

Exactly my point. I didn't make this system up. Just saying what the official word on it is. Of course games are lower canon than the movies, like DUH.

My point is, people keep whining, "oh, they're contradicting this and that", when Lucas blatantly has said before those things aren't supposed to co-exist with his universe. People still to this day refuse to acknowledge this. G Canon, or whatever you call it, is all that counts. If it isn't in his U, then it doesn't matter. Everything else is fluff, my friends, so accept it. I knew this since Marvel had the license. It was obvious then, and it's obvious now that they are not one and the same.

And no, I don't count the Holiday Special. Lucas does not recognize it, and so therefore I don't. It's more of a parody than anything, anyway.

The only problem with that is that for 20 years Lucas has been making a large chunk of money off of selling people the exact opposite. Nobody buys LEGO Star Wars and expects something that is canon. But when you give it the whole Bantha/Dark Horse/Del Ray treatment things are a little different. They didn't deal with the prequel era for years. Why? Because Lucas wouldn't let them. Why not? He's killed off characters in the EU and allowed film characters to die, why is he involved if the two are separate. These things shouldn't be happening if these are parallel universes.

Well, if he likes something from the other sources then he might borrow from it. It doesn't mean he recognizes the other author's background story of that character or world. In the end, his take on Star Wars is what matters. If he said he didn't like Piell's death in some book and decided a different death for the character, then decided to show it in the Clone Wars, then that's that.

I agree with what you're saying, that's also the reason why I don't even care about canon, I'm just saying that the official canon system claims otherwise.

You fail to realize that they work to correct the contradiction in other sources. And the clone Wars is still EU, just a high form of it. It's not g cannon

The canon system says there is more than one universe, but people insist there is only one, which makes them wrong.

Wrong, if that was true why would Lucas bother overseeing it

No, only George Lucas has said this and it's only been his personal views, not speaking out "officially". If he really didn't want the EU to be "canon" he wouldn't have Leeland Chee in charge of continuity. The"canon system" says nothing about two universes, only different levels of canon. You're frankly just wrong here.

TIME TO ABANDON SHIP MUHAHAHAHAHAHA
