This thing can't possibly be Canon?! It shows Luke's X-Wing being large enough to contain a frigging training room! DarthMRN 16:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- "These stories were originally commissioned in the early 1980s by Mavel, U.K., for their Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back black-and-white magazine. Long time fans will remember that these early Star Wars comics, both in the U.S. and in Great Britain, did not stick as closely to established style and continuity as they do now. The stories are presented here, in America and in color for the first time, as historical curiosities, and a look at the early work of some of England's finest creative talent."

- I think the clarifier to Devilworlds should be enough to call all of the tales technically non-canon, but with the recent ret-conning of Marvel Star Wars back into continuity...it's hard to say. However, we have some pretty hyperinclusionists here, so watch your back when trying to declare these stories (weird as they may be) non-canon. Cull Tremayne 16:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Until I get an answer from Tasty, I think it's safe to slap on an ambig-tag, at least. DarthMRN 23:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- Most likely Moore intended Luke to be aboard the Falcon (look at the inside of the room where Luke is practicing) which would be carrying the X-Wing alongside it. When Luke receives the distress signal, he takes his ship and heads to Garn while Han and Leia go to Attahox (in Moore's "The Pandora Effect.") The canonicity of the Devilworlds series is the same as all of the Marvel stories, that is to say, it's part of canon. "Tilotny Throws a Shape" is the intended lead-in story to Marvel #35 (explaining how Leia came to sprain her ankle.) The fact that these stories were only published in the UK until Dark Horse reprinted them doesn't change their status, nor does Scott Allie's introduction. The premise for the article "Cult Encounters," which dealt with the Devilworlds characters and scenarios (and was supposed to have been published in Gamer) was approved by LFL. The only story that can no longer be part of continuity is, of course, "Flight of the Falcon" which presents an alternate introduction to Han and Lando's famous ship. -30, Aug 2007
