Like I said, EVERYTHING is Canon, except the Infinities work, the movies being the highest since Lucas made them. The cartoons follow under the new T-Canon rank.

Leland Chee, the person who makes the Canon Tree.

G-Canon: Movies and Novelizations, radio plays, and scripts.
T-Canon: Cartoons and Television Series
C-Canon: Novels, short stories, games, comics
S-Canon: Secondary canon, like supplementary materials like the first versions of the ICS.
N-Canon: Infinities work and others.

Lucas doesnt' control what's canon. It's Leland Chee, and according to the Canon tree, nearly everything is canon except for the Infinities and Gameplay of games.

No, I know that they have different layers of canon. However having that many layers of "official" is just fucking retarded.

Wrong again, Lucas has oversight control of canon. He set it up that nothing is allowed above his films. NOTHING IS EQUAL TO THE FILMS. Everything else falls under that to which he simply doesn't care.

Lucas hired Leeland Chee to do the Canon Tree, Deep. And if you notice, nothing is equal to the Films, but they are still canon, LOWER CANON.

So the boss of the person who he hired and you say he doesn't have control??? Think about that statement.

Lower canon...?

Yeah, like 50% official, sort of official, but not quite official enough.

Thats the way Canon works in Star Wars, I'm afraid, Mark.

Indeed. Its exactly that. Lucas doesn't want to go through the EU. He has hired Leland Chee to do so and create the Canon Tree, the tiers of canon. With the Movies being on top, and Infinities and Gameplay being on bottom, everything is canon, just the Movies being the highest.

That's been known for years, Deep.
