Company News Knights of the Old Republic declared non-canon by Lucasarts - probably won't see sequels

[Ladonna]

I think the real question here is;

Is 'Caravan of Courage' canon?

It better be!!!

 

[GarfunkeL]

No, the really important question is....

IS THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL CANON?!?!?

 

[Monty]

No, the really important question is....

IS THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL CANON?!?!?

Ah, yes, that masterpiece. What fans apparently wanted:

What they got:

Fun times...

 

[tuluse]

The animated Boba Fett part is actually kind of cool.

At least in comparison to the rest of it.

 

[Volrath]

So Kyle Katarn isn't canon anymore but Jar Jar Binks is? Yeah fuck that.

 

[dunno lah]

Fuck the canon, fanon all the way!

I'll choose the truth I like...

 

[set]

“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

The best Star Wars movie is Revenge of the Sith. And I was 10 when A new hope was first played in cinemas. People who were not even born when The empire strikes back came on screen pretending that it was the best one just make me laugh. It's bullshit. Star Wars fandom is laughable anyway, it deserves Kotor's stupid story, the canon is dumb.

And Kotor 2 is the worst: a boring game trying too much to be deep while resting on dumb premises. At least Revenge of the siths tries to apply some kind of crepuscular wagnerian stripes to the poney to make it look like a zebra. MCA's Kotor 2 is just completely moronic.

I wasn't born when Chinatown came out, guess I must be pretending it's my favourite movie.

I'd better start looking for something more recent then.

RIP Darth Revan, our hero and most epic #1 badboy.

I would never have had the confidence to speak to girl without macking Bastila aboard the Ebon Hawk... Revan taught me that even though girl can be bitchy, entitled, and mean at first, you can still eventually touch their boobs.

Back when Bioware used to teach young males good lessons... now they just tell you to be gay...

 

[Exar Kun]

RIP Darth Malak, our villain and #1 alpha male sociopath.

Darth Malak taught me that even if your a #1 bad boy like Revan girl will still cheat on you without hesitation for even more of an alpha badboy... a sociopath. In order to continue touching their boobs, you need to beat up the sociopath and take girl back...

I find this "canon/non-canon" thing to be very irrelevant and hilarious. I mean, what difference does it make? Why would anyone endorse a story as being "more true" than any other? All stories are just that, stories, fiction, imaginary events! None of them actually happened in reality!

Sometimes, it scares me the way people take things like fiction stories too seriously, and the butthurt that ensues.

Well in this case, even though I'm not a hard on Star Wars fag, I'm all for the ditching of the god awful EU shit. How many times has the Emperor been resurrected? How many times has the Imperial Remnant had a civil war for power which resulted in some new leader almost conquering the New Republic before being defeated by the same old Luke/Han/Leia/Wedge or their offspring just in the nick of time? Then there's the invasion from another galaxy that almost wipes out everything until the Imperials and Rebels join hands before fighting again each other? How could these economies and systems survive billions of dead per year, constant destruction(how many times has Coruscant been leveled in the EU)?

Fucking joke shit that deserved to die. I'd rather Gay wok Jin and Jar Jar than that shit!

I thought the Imperial Remnant stuff was the strongest part of the EU. There's so many people out there who think the Rebels, with their shitty little fleet, would be able to bring down the entire Galactic Empire. Where the fuck did all those Star Destroyers go after the Battle of Endor? Where's the rest of the fleet, where are the legions of Stormtroopers? Keeping the order elsewhere, that's what. At least the EU explained all this.

There was no reason for Lucas to say "just kidding". That would only ruin his savouring his power over some puny "game developers". If I tell you to name him Darth Icky, you'll do it and you'll like it, is what he must have tried to convey.

 

[set]

Yep. Well, I personally would have gone with Darth Icky just to spite Lucas.

 

[Szioul]

Yep. Well, I personally would have gone with Darth Icky just to spite Lucas.

And proudly tell how it was George Lucas himself who decided the name in interviews?

 

[RK47]

G0-T0 is T0o G0od for them anyway.

7/10 Would be trolled by again.

At least the EU explained all this.

Yeah the IR itself is cool and explains where the at least 50 Star Destroyers went(even in RoTJ you can see a horde of them, only 2 were actually destroyed), but it's still ridiculous how every 6 months or so in the EU timeline, the Empire gets some new charismatic leader(or the Emperor comes back) and almost wins before being defeated once more. After a dozen goes, you'd think they'd learn to not make the same mistakes.
