[edit] About me

A bit about me: I'm male, 23 years old, Canadian, and love Star Wars, and most sci-fi in general. Most of my science-fiction is via more modern sources, but I've been trying to read some of the classics, starting with the Odyssey series. I'm also a fan of Star Trek, Stargate, and most recently Firefly/Serenity.

I'm huge into webcomics, and check the following ones daily:

  • www.xkcd.com
  • www.questionablecontent.net
  • www.qwantz.com
  • www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php

If anyone knows of any other good ones, please put the link in my talk page and I'll have a look.

My username comes from one of the finalists of the Darth Who contest (which selected Darth Caedus to be Jacen Solo's Sith name). I picked it because I really liked the sound of it and hoped it would win, plus it sounded like it could be used in almost any era (including pre-Darth). It also could be used ambiguously regarding gender, which made it the perfect Sith name in my opinion for Tahiri in my fanfic universe.

Also, I pronounce canon differently, in that I put the emphasis on the NON. It sounds nothing like cannon, more like cuh-NAWN. This is not necessarily a "Canadian pronunciation", it's just that that's how I first heard it and it stuck.

[edit] The Clone Wars

It seems to me that these days everyone is in a kerfuffle about The Clone Wars and how it's "destroying the canon". I respectfully disagree. I really enjoy the movie and tv series presently being published and look forward to seeing more when Season 2 starts this Fall. While I agree that there are some issues with the canon, I think a few modifications to the timeline and a bit of taking-things-with-a-grain-of-salt will make everything smooth and this entire community will collectively go "Oh, well I guess that makes sense then!" After all, is it important that Anakin was knights six months before Episode III? No. Is it important that he was knighted AFTER Jedi Trial but before Labyrinth of Evil? Yes. I have no objection to condensing the timeline in a reasonable fashion. So far, I found only three issues that need to be resolved specifically that timeline condensation will not account for.

  • Aurra Sing being in prison on Oovo IV in from early 22 BBY till late 19 BBY, but somehow affiliated with Cad Bane as of late 22 BBY.
  • The ultimate fate of Ahsoka Tano.
  • Karen Miller's condensation of everything up to Jedi Trial and Dreadnoughts of Rendili to a period of four weeks in The Clone Wars: Wild Space. I agree that condensation would be a good thing (maybe condensing to five-six months), but four weeks is too little. I have a strong feeling this will be over-written.

So, in conclusion, I say enjoy The Clone Wars for what it is! An enjoyable show that won't ruin the canon, as long as we're patient.
