Talk:List of fanon elements in continuity
Back to page
The fanon page states that Han Solo being in the Imperial Navy was a fan idea. Anyone know anything about this? --Azizlight 21:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Far as I know, it's always been canon that he was in the navy and got drummed out for saving Chewie. In fact, his Imperial service used to be one of the things Lucas didn't want the EU to touch (it's glossed over in the HST), so it must've been his idea. CooperTFN 22:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Title
Edit
Should we perhaps change the title of this to something like "...in continuity", as opposed to "...in the EU"? The 501st is C-Canon at the very least, and there may be others. CooperTFN 22:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Imperator fanon?
Edit
Where did this come from? I thought it was clear the plans with that name had the Lucasfilm seal on it? If this source was somehow de-canonized at one time, I can understand it (since it contained many errors), but that still doesn't make it fanon. VT-16 10:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- McEwok added this. You might like to take it up with him. Leave me out of it, though. :P QuentinGeorge 10:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Piett and Spotts?
Edit
Fans really requested to include Piett in ROTJ? Is there any proof of that? I'm also having trouble believing that the Spotts company thing is a reference to Supershadow. Again, any proof? --Azizlight 22:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's probably impossible to prove it's a reference (they'd deny it even if it was, after all), but apparently Holonet News quoted Spotts TradeChip Company as giving the same "incorrect midi-chlorian count" for Yoda that SuperShadow did.—Silly Dan (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Ah I see... so Supershadow actually claimed that Yoda's midichlorian count was 4 million, and that he was a Lannik? If that's true, then that's proof enough for me :-) --Azizlight 23:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- No, he claimed he was a Whill. So it's only half-proof. I wasn't convinced, which is why when I put it back in the article I only said it "may have been an oblique reference." —Silly Dan (talk) 23:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- What about the Piett thing? I'd never heard that before myself. CooperTFN 05:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

The Empire at War: Forces of Corruption poll?
Edit
Um, does this really belong here? Sounds more like an opinion poll more than anything, but since I never saw the poll myself, thought I'd check with someone else. --Azizlight 09:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Ecumenopolis
Edit
There's a reference to the word ecumenopolis to describe the city planet Coruscant in the first Jedi Twilight book. Does that count as fanon-to-canon since it was used here without any apparant previous canon reference? VT-16 12:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Isn't ecumenopolis an established word for describing all-city planets? Yeah, Ecumenopolis. It's just a word, when Ric Olié stated that Coruscant was one big city, it became canon as an ecumenopolis. (or rather G-Canon, but anyway...) Charlii 18:57, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
I mean the word "ecumenopolis" was made canon in this book, given it was never used other than by us, the fans, before JTI. VT-16 19:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ecumenopolis is a word. If we added it to the page, we'd have to add every word that a novel uses but was first used by fans. There will, I'm sure, be quite a lot of them. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 19:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- If it had in any way added to canon or our understanding of it, then it should be on the list even if it was just one word. But since it doesn't include anything beyond what we already knew (planet covered in one big city) it should be left out. Charlii 19:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry if this is overtly late, but I remember some people wanting to take the article out to begin with, since "ecumenopolis" was never used in any source, therefore the word was considered fanon. VT-16 15:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Jedi Exile
Edit
I'm going to remove this from the list, if no one objects, because it is really not worth mentioning. The character was called The Exile... and was a Jedi. Not exactly fanon slipping into canon there at all. AngryScissors 21:16, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
