The Ewok movies weren't great, but I was always interested in the idea that there were other things going on on this moon that neither we nor the Emperor ever realized. I was never really very sure, though, when the Ewok movies took place in relation to the Holy Trilogy. Before, after, during?
Wasn't Lucas involved in those movies? I know he's said specifically that they're not canon... but they are movies. Right?

Sometimes I wonder if Lucas really knows what that word means. I mean, he says the Ewok movies aren't canon, yet HE made them... I think he's spent a little too much time cooped up at the Skywalker Ranch.

"he Towani parents, Jeremitt and Catarine cannot locate their children, Mace and Cindel."
Looks like an instance of Lucas trying to work in one of the names from the working scripts of Star Wars, before the prequels were planned, of course.
I don't know why, but it kind of irritates when I read things like, he had just seen Heidi a week before, so he got a group together decided to make a movie that was like Heidi... but Star Wars. And she has to be an orphan now... so let's kill off the characters people liked in the first one. I mean... geez.

Wicket was in the ewok specials, and he was a canon character. Just in case anybody'd like to know.

Sorry for the double post. But i just found this. I'm sure most of you have seen the Star Wars Gansta Rap cartoon before, but check out this version.

Since we're mucking around in Star Wars canon. Is there an "accepted" origin for the jedi/sith in the books? I looked on line and found various write-ups that seemed to flow freely from the authors backsides. No offense.

I haven't read any books that goes into Jedi/Sith detail. But Play Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, that's the closest thing I found to an origin. According to the games, the Sith were originally a violent conquering race that had nothing to do with the Jedi at all. After they became extinct, some dark side Jedi took up thier name and philosophy and thats how we get the sith of today. I reccomend playing at least the first one. It's very well done, with alot of backstory and one hell of a plot twist near the end. The second one, Sith lords, just gave me a massive headache.

Concise and orderly, but thrown together from a hodgepodge of sources, such as "Knights of the Old Republic". And some article editors are very arbitrary and self-absorbed, even for Wiki-standards, in their deductions and explanations, such as the saber fighting styles and the "Who used what"-section, very self-contradictory at times.
