	Editorial - SWFA Issue #3, February 2000
		An absolute canon is an inclusion of all personal, all subjective perspectives on canon, thus the only point of view that can withstand scrutiny from all angles, from the most rabid continuity fan to the most exclusive.
		It is especially dangerous to Star Wars continuity when an author working within the mythos harbors this attitude of canon and apocrypha, for he or she is the one with the power to shape the universe, so to speak.
		In the name of equality, Star Wars authors must bear the burden of objectivity; in their case, there can be no distinction between good and bad, old and new when it comes to inclusion.

	Star Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Star Wars is the name of the science fantasy movie, literary franchise, and series of video games based on the ideas of writer/director George Lucas, which consist of numerous prequels, sequels, and literary adaptations.
		A notable feature of the Star Wars films is that they portray a world full of grime and technology that looks like it has been used for years, not the sleek, futuristic world typical of earlier science fiction films.
		Many fans of the original Star Wars movies reject the literary works of the Expanded Universe, and insist only the films or statements George Lucas has made interpreting his own works, can be accepted as canonical.

	Star Wars canon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the Star Wars series reagained popularity in 1991 with the publication of Timothy Zahn's enormously popular Heir to the Empire and his eventual Thrawn Trilogy, Lucasfilm Ltd. decided something had to be done to organize the increasingly large collection of media which chronicled the Star Wars universe.
		So, it was decided that a system of canon would be developed which would organize the materials into what was and wasn't fit for the Star Wars story.
		S-canon is "secondary" canon; the story itself is considered non-continuity, but the non-contradicting elements are still a canon part of the Star Wars universe.

	Star Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Wars is an influential science fantasy saga and fictional universe created by writer/producer/director George Lucas in the early 1970s.
		The saga began with the film Star Wars, which was released on May 25, 1977.
		For his part, Lucas claimed in a segment filmed for the THX-remastered VHS release of the original trilogy that the original Star Wars story was intended as a single film, but was later split into three because the story was too long to be told in a single film.

	Canon - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

		The Holocron follows the canon policy that has been in effect for years, but the capabilities of database software allow for each element of a story, rather than the stories themselves, to be classified on their own merits.

		With regards to the FTL speed, he then had the gall to announce that there was "nothing in canon to support [figures shown in the EU]," even though the numbers were very consistent with some EU demonstrations of speed, and the rest could easily be attributed to differing hyperdrive capabilities.

		Anderson's disregard for certain parts of Star Wars canon are not accidents, but are in fact parts of a careful plan to purposely show low technology levels in Star Wars.

	Star Wars Episode I Racer
		While the "Star Wars" gaming experience (unlike the films) has been a largely hit and miss library...Episode I Racer for the Dreamcast (you knew I'd get to the game eventually) looks to set the standard for futuristic console racers, and for the most part suceeds.
		While there's been never-ending discussion on whether or not "Episode I" is a worthy movie to be included in the "Star Wars" canon...what can't be argued is the fact that the Pod Race scene from the film lends itself to spawn a videogame.
		Overall if you're a Star Wars fan, chances are you've already owned this title on at least one platform...the Dreamcast version as expected is the best represenation of the experience available (in the home).

	Star Wars vs Star Trek: What is Canon?
		They don't particularly care to let the public know what is or isn't canon, because as far as they're concerned, "canon" only matters insofar as their staff writers know what they have to stay faithful to when they write new material.
		In short, nothing is canon in Star Trek but the TV shows and movies, and even some of the material in the TV shows and movies might not be considered canon.
		Star Trek's continuity policy is very narrow, encompassing only the TV shows and movies (and not even all of those), while Lucasfilm's continuity policy is fairly broad, encompassing all of the movies and most of the other licensed material as well.

		They're salesmen of the Star Wars brand name, and though they have a department that does produce some of their own goods in addition to licensing the brand name to other producers, they most certainly do not speak for Lucas or Lucasfilm in regards to the facts within the films.
		Unlike the Star Trek novels, each of which is basically a universe unto itself that's based on one or more of the Star Trek series, the Star Wars EU storylines were intended to flow with one another.
		However, the makers of the EU know that they are not creating Lucas-level Star Wars canon, even if their works are canon by the terms of LLP's official continuity policy and are influenced by their perception of Lucas's desires.

	Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided for PC Review - PC Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Review
		Star Wars Galaxies lets you create a character by choosing from male or female versions of eight different Star Wars races, including humans and wookiees, as well as the fish-faced mon calamari, the bug-eyed rodians, and more.
		Star Wars Galaxies was designed to make all the starting professions essential to the game, basically because brawlers, marksmen, and scouts--the obvious starting choices for many players--need medics, entertainers, and artisans to heal them and make them better weapons and armor.
		For example, an entertainer's purpose in Star Wars Galaxies is to cure fighting classes of their battle fatigue and their mental weariness, which are essentially gameplay contrivances that force characters to head back to town after they've been out fighting for a while.

		Star Wars is a science fantasy saga and fictional universe created by writer/producer/director George Lucas during the 1970s.
		Star Wars melds science with supernatural elements that strongly relate to epic stories and fairy tales (for example, Magic, Knights, Witches, Princesses and 'whimsical' alien races such as Ewoks and Wisties).
		For his part, Lucas claimed in a segment filmed for the THX-remastered VHS release of the original trilogy that the original Star Wars story was intended as a single film but was later split into three because the story was too long to be told in a single film.

	The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia: TrekWars: The Furry Conflict
		It was during this sabbatical that an individual by the name of Michael Potts, one of the folks behind Star Wars Timetales, began to suggest to Bob that he join the staff of TheForce.net.
		The move to what is arguably the most popular Star Wars website on the internet today helped rekindle Bob’s waning interest in the Star Wars saga and the CUSWE project at large.
		The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia (version 5.1) is still on TheForce.net today, with a record of nearly 38,000 entries, standing uncontested as the most extensive reference database of its kind.

		It may serve as a window into the real story of Star Wars, and may contain nuggets of truth (Cerasi), but it cannot write the real story (Cerasi) nor is it clear whether those nuggets of truth come from the original fiction or simply the fiction's use of Canon.
		LucasBooks tries to use the events in the Canon universe in the parallel universe, but the fact that it is a parallel universe explains why Lucas isn't bound by it (as stated by Sansweet).
		However, the real story of Lucas' Star Wars universe is the Canon, and that must be kept in mind by the fan or debater.

		Star Wars fever gripped New York, with 22 cinemas in Manhattan alone screening the film.
		And the climatic triple-whammy - of lightsabre duels (with the film’s undisputed party-popper moment); an arena face-off between hundreds of Jedi and countless robots; and the breathtakingly immense and gritty launch of the oft-mentioned Clone Wars - is nothing short of astounding.
		However, for non "Star Wars" believers, the perennial problems remain: clunky dialogue and wooden performances, while the occasionally overwhelming CGI is weak in places.

		Thus, as with the Star Wars canon, we'll run through the Trek canon policy statements, paying attention to the age of the quote and the rank of the speaker so as to produce the best understanding of the policy available.
		And, we'd be remiss for not mentioning a bit of a 'canon rebellion' still in play by some fans who reject the concept of canon (or specifically all canon produced after circa 1980) on the grounds that it steps on the toes of their preferred 70's-era Trek fandom speculations.
		She also noted that Tim Gaskill was a "Star Trek expert" who used to work for her at VCP, implying that he would be in a unique position to be aware of both the Paramount and the old VCP position on canon.

	Canon
		Star Wars canon isn't as simple as Star Trek canon because there are multiple, contradictory statements about canon from various people at Lucas Film Limited.
		According to this quote the novels, the radio dramas and the screenplays are all canon as well (though at a lesser extent than the films) because they are direct spin outs of the movies, so far no problems.
		The one sure answer: The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition- the three films themselves as executive-produced, and in the case of Star Wars written and directed, by George Lucas, are canon.
