Clone Wars Season 2 trailer

[DAMartin]

In fact, it is canon, at least partly. It's Boba Fett's first appearance, and the Wookie planet has been later shown just like in the special.

[Sundance]

since George Lucas has expressed a desire to hunt down and destroy every extant copy of the holiday special if he could, i'd say it ain't canon.

however Lucas' canon consists of the DVD editions of episodes 4-6 and episodes 1-3. he doesn't count anything else.

the EU canon counts nearly everything in a sliding scale.

the films are the top.
then come the novelisations of the films and the radio adaps of 4-6.
then come the novels and comics, the cartoons and yes, the holiday special and the Ewok movies.
then comes the video games. they're the lowest rung since they often feature material inconsistant with the films and so forth for the sake of gameplay purposes, EG Jedi Starfighters with weapons, Force power power-ups, etc. Generally the events are accepted to have taken place.

then there's the non-canon stuff, eg the three 'Infinities' comics which were 'What if?' tales, the Tag and Bink comics, the Skippy the Jedi droid comic and sundry other bits.

Um... so where's The Clone Wars?

[DAMartin]

Wikipedia defined the canon levels of SW expanded univers with letters, but I don't remember which letter meant which level, except for G-canon (the totally canonical ones) and N-canon (the totally non-canonical ones).

[Sundance]

Um... so where's The Clone Wars?

then come the novels and comics, the cartoons and yes, the holiday special and the Ewok movies.

[The Baron]

The Clone Wars after the comics? Doubt it.

Anyway, it's not a cartoon, it's siegieeye.

[DAMartin]

Sundance is stating that the TV series and the comics are at the same level. He just mentioned the comic first because he couldn't mention both at the same time (hius voice isn't in stereo )

[The Baron]

I know he is, but I doubt it. The comics are definitely Expanded Universe. The TV show has to be canon.

[Sundance]

not according to George.

i'll have to check on the EU scale...

here we go:

G-canon is George Lucas Canon; the six Episodes and anything directly provided to Lucas Licensing by Lucas (including unpublished production notes from him or his production department that are never seen by the public). Elements originating with Lucas in the movie novelizations, reference books, and other sources are also G-canon, though anything created by the authors of those sources is C-canon. When the matter of changes between movie versions arises, the most recently released editions are deemed superior to older ones, as they correct mistakes, improve consistency between the two trilogies, and express Lucas's current vision of the Star Wars universe most closely. The deleted scenes included on the DVDs are also considered G-canon (when they're not in conflict with the movie).[1]
T-canon[2], or Television Canon[3], refers to the canon level comprising the feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the two television shows Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the Star Wars live-action TV series.[4][5] It was devised recently in order to define a status above the C-Level canon, as confirmed by Chee[6].
C-canon is Continuity Canon, consisting of all recent works (and many older works) released under the name of Star Wars: books, comics, games, cartoons, non-theatrical films, and more. Games are a special case, as generally only the stories are C-canon, while things like stats and gameplay may not be;[7] they also offer non-canonical options to the player, such as choosing female gender for a canonically male character. C-canon elements have been known to appear in the movies, thus making them G-canon; examples include the name "Coruscant," swoop bikes, Quinlan Vos, Aayla Secura, YT-2400 freighters and Action VI transports.
S-canon is Secondary Canon; the materials are available to be used or ignored as needed by current authors. This includes mostly older works, such as much of the Marvel Star Wars comics, that predate a consistent effort to maintain continuity; it also contains certain elements of a few otherwise N-canon stories, and other things that "may not fit just right." Many formerly S-canon elements have been elevated to C-canon through their inclusion in more recent works by continuity-minded authors, while many other older works (such as The Han Solo Adventures) were accounted for in continuity from the start despite their age, and thus were always C-canon.
N is Non-Canon. What-if stories (such as stories published under the Infinities label) and anything else directly and irreconcilably contradicted by higher canon ends up here. N is the only level that is not considered canon by Lucasfilm. Information cut from canon, deleted scenes, or from canceled Star Wars works falls into this category as well, unless another canonical work references it and it is declared canon.

I wish I hadn't asked! It's worse than Action Force canon!
