WILL DISNEY FOLLOW THE HOLOCRON DATABASE?

We must know! Before I do something rash like making molotovs and paying Disneyland a little visit.

By the way, Leland, would you mind copypasting the old blog post where you compliled all those comments by you regarding Holocron continuity?

At the moment, fandom stands without provable knowledge about any aspect of how the Holocron works. Both the old forums and blog are gone.

Holocron continuity doesn’t have any authority over TCW, which is under the allmighty care of Lucas. All Leland can do is bend over backwards to accomodate what it produces.

No reboot is nice, of course. But when the problems that prompt such a solution in the first place, that lack of an iron-clad continuity, and a constant need for retcons, run as rampant as they do in SW, it becomes sort of a hollow promise. There is a reason Leland needs to repeat this over and over, and it isn’t that SW doesn’t have continuity problems for fans to get aggravated about.

Well, Joey, not all of the EU are novels or comics. Video games are part of the EU as well, and sometimes include other things as well.

Hm. I like that somebody other than just Wookieepedia and the fans, is keeping up and providing canon answers and retcons, but what about TCW vs established Mandalorian canon? How has that been retconned?

Excellent! While we see every other franchise reboot, and reboot again, and again?! (Batman) It’s great to see Star Wars hasn’t and will not stoop to that level. However, I also agree they need to give you more authority, so you can reel-in people like Filoni. And in my opinion the EU was working pretty-darn well until the 3D Clone Wars Cartoon came out. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun, but I almost want to say it should be a lower level canon than it is, or like a “tales” or something. There are just too many conflicting problems with that show. Either that or you (Leland) will have your work cut out for you resolving conflicts once the show ends.

“The EU is a well of ideas, and there’s what’s on screen. They don’t line in the same universe. Everyone wants to think so, I know, and there is a lot of effort to make it work, but it’s pretty clear when you start really looking at it that when you take ideas from the printed realm and bring it on the screen, it’s not always the same. They relate. There are similarities. I still enjoy a lot of those stories. I think there are a lot of great ideas. They influence you. They inspire you, which I think is the whole point in having an EU. We try hard to honor things when we can, to give nods to things, but at the end of the day there is a difference between what you see in the Star Wars films and TV series and what you see in those books.” – Dave Filoni

It seems to me Filoni has undermined what you do. I’ve re-read this several times and I don’t think I’m reading it incorrectly. Can you comment to this?
