Lit Re-canonizing Labyrinth of Evil!

Thinking back to this really good James Luceno novel, I realized that this novel may be reconcilable with the new canon if you just cut off the invasion of Coruscant. It's been so long since I read it, that I went back to skim through it, and it occured to me; that doesn't the invasion of Coruscant begin at the bottom paragraph on page 265? Assume that you stop there, and also assume that Skywalker and Kenobi defeated the droids in the previous scene but a couldn't find anymore clues about Sidious; wouldn't that basically fix it?

 

And then, do you think this is something that could've taken place between season 6 and 7 of the animated series, while Ahsoka was out of the picture?

 

Sinrebirth! Where are you?! Please, make it so!

 

I loved this novel.

We got Obiwan High in shrooms at the begining.

The dynamic jedi duo bar hopping.

And Anakin brough down a building with a scream.

 

Just to pitch in and help out some more, there is a canon edit of the Clone Wars micro series on youtube. In which the "Mission to Nelvaan" and "Battle of Coruscant" have been separated. Happening at different times.

LOE had to have taken place before season 6's "The Lost One." However if we assume that the Battle of Coruscant started this early and lasted this long, it looks like that would cause discrepancies. There are some Ahsoka episodes in season 7, that make it hard to believe that Coruscant is under siege at that time.


Is it easier to just ignore that part of the novel?

 

the book is probably one of the best written that leads into a movie. The information in the book on the different types of clones, the exposition of the opening salvo of the battle of corescaunt, along with General Grevious and his machinations are hard to beat. This was an amazing tie in to the Clone Wars Volume 2 micro series. I still count it part of the canon and when you really take a serious look at it, it really was a descriptive book. Luceno takes the time to mention different pieces of equipment by name....sphat for example. In the new clone wars, there hardly used at all, but in the LOE they are used. I could go on and on.

 

@Sinrebirth

That's Obiwan and Qui-gon pre TPM, correct.?

The one where they try to protect the TF delegation to conference held on Eraidu(Tarkins home world) from terrorists and the entire thing is a plot by Sidious allow for the commercial entities like to Trade Federation, techno unionx and commerce guild to build there droid armies while at the same tome weakening Valourum.

Its been a long time since I read that one.

 

Wow,

Surprised I remember the gist of the story

 

I recently found those! Brilliant edits!

 

It's more or less what made be excited about the sequel trilogy in 2012-2014, thought we would get Labyrinth-grade prologues to each of them. Along with a novel like Dark Lord to serve as an epilogue. Turns out life doesn't work that way.
