[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I'm a big fan of the Timothy Zahn books. So let's see what I can dig up from those stories: - The Emperor "appropriated" the cloning facility on Wayland from "one of the old clonemasters." (Still possible, but not likely given that Palpatine himself is now in charge of the clone army.) - The [i]Katana[/i] fleet was part of the Old Republic's military, and disappeared "ten years before the Clone Wars broke out." (Well... maybe not, since there WAS no Old Republic military other than the Jedi!) - Vader lost his hand as punishment for the destruction of the Death Star. (Um... no.) - The Clone Wars were supposedly forty years before "Return of the Jedi," according to the timeline described by the Noghri, and when their planed was wasted. (Doubtful.) - Various references implied that there was an Imperial Fleet that was separate from that of the Old Republic's. Pellaeon, for example, explicitly said that he'd served in the Imperial Fleet for fifty years. (Bzzzt. Sorry, try again?) - Jorus C'baoth disappeared aboard the old Outbound Flight Project -- 64 years before the Empire was established. At that time, Senator/Emperor Palpatine was already in the early stages of his campaign of extermination against the Jedi. - There was an incident involving Dark Jedi on Bpfassh around 65 years before the Empire was established. Yet the Jedi in AotC seem to have no knowledge of members of their order who had turned to the Dark Side. (Hmmm...) So yes, some of the details may hold up, but overall, I'd say that Lucas is trampling all over the "Expanded Universe" background. Not that I particularly care either way. It's his story, and I like some of the twists that he's throwing against earlier preconceptions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
