*But, it is also slightly out-of continuity, as it is expressly stated in other [[Expanded Universe]] stories (particularly ''[[The Courtship of Princess Leia]]'') that the [[Hapes Consortium]] does not end their self-imposed three-millennia of isolation until [[8 ABY]]. This brings into question how anyone from the Empire could have steal even a regular [[Gun of Command]] any earlier, let alone a prototype [[Rifle of Command]].
