CommandoDisney said:wait wait wait...... anakin.... becomes darth vader?!! i didnt see that coming!!!
but seriously, wait, do we fly to endor or the endor moon? and in return of the jedi are they on endor or just its moon. i always thought it was endor but it sounds like it was just the moon.... sorry im only a mild star wars fan and not too familiar with the EU
Hence the reason I said "complete it"Thrawn said:Yes, but that isn't the death star you attack in Star Tours. The Death Star prototype was ONLY an exoskeleton, and enough to have just the critical systems on board. It wasn't a complete sphere. Here's art:

Some of us have realized that...others have not :brick:Salty- said:I thought us Star Wars fans resolved ourselves that the Star Wars Universe is just one giant Plot Hole.
(A plot hole is what on the other side of a black hole if one were to traverse it)
CoffeeJedi said:Thrawn, there's another source that includes a Rebel pilot commenting on the destruction of DSII at Endor, and saying that he heard a droid's voice call out "I've always wanted to do this". Unfortunately, there's no single EU gatekeeper to keep it all straight. And George disregards all EU continuity unless it achieves something specific for him, or is so widely accepted (Coruscant) that he's forced to include it.
this whole thing would be so much easier if they just used the half-built RotJ Death Star!
a problem with it being set during the Imperial Era, is that we're contacted by an X-Wing pilot who tells us its a restricted area. The Rebels have no political or governing power, they're freedom fighters. it would have been an Imperial officer who contacts us. that's why i think it fits better as a post-RotJ New Republic story, as that's who contacts us and who we side with.
to put it in Earth terms, can you imagine a 747 full of travelers entering an air battle and firing at the legitimate government's military?
gah! MY HEAD A-SPLODE! i think this guy puts it nicely however:

Cmdr_Crimson said:This should be an interesting discussion....and we shall hear from some star wars fans no doubt. But, which Death Star are they destroying in Star Tours? Is it from Episode 4 or 5? Help me out here? I mean how is it possible if this was a third one being built...If you seen the Movie "Clerks" and they explain about the Death Star you be asking the same question while riding this ride...So....Does anyone know?
Master Yoda said:Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the first EU material was the Thrawn Trilogy that came out in 1992 but wasn't Star Tours opened prior to that? If that is the case then technically Star Tours is the first EU material and all other EU material would have to conform to it.

I think chronology of release dates would play a big role in the value of it. If we assume that all the stuff released so far is valid than story that contradicted facts present in an earlier released story than the information in the newer story could be construed as untrue or invalid. But then we run into the problem that Lucas will contradict any information in the EU if he feels the need. One of the biggest contradictions I know of is the version of Kashyyyk in ROTS and the version in KOTOR and the Thrawn trilogy.bouj said:I'm not sure about release dates, but chronology of release doesn't provide any value to the importance of EU material. This gets into that dicey realm of canon-official-nonofficial continuity that the people at LucasFilms do actual pay a certain amount of attention to, rank the importance of, and set forth accordingly. Unfortunately, they are not always forthcoming with that info.
The word would be "geek" and I take no offense to it.Connor002 said:this thread has gone to the star wars, ah... fans (i was going to say somthing different but don't want to offend)
