So how/why does the forms of combat concept not align with what we see in the films..? You realize how subjective that is, right?
You have anything on TCW Maul's Saber style?
Originally posted by ares834Yeah, I think you're sort of twisting the statement you quoted a bit. Unless there's more to it than you posted, it certainly doesn't say that a happening from the film-based novels needs to be explicitly referenced in the films for it to be canon--just that the events must "align"...
Because they aren't (mentioned) in the films... The only parts of the novelizations that are canon is the stuff from the film, basically the G-canon content.

The novelizations are only canon "where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie."
To me, this simply means that any portion of the novels which do not directly contradict what was shown or stated in the films are canon, and any portion of the novels which do directly contradict what was shown or stated in the films are non-canon--and the 7 forms of combat certainly do not contradict the films, imho. Like I mentioned before: it's very subjective/ambiguous--you might think it doesn't 'align', and I might think it does 'align'. Whose opinion is correct? /shrug
There's also the Guidebook/Encyclopedia/Episode Guide entries I posted to consider... Just MO. 🙂 /shrugx2

I certainly hope they aren't. The lightsaber forms as handled by the EU are incredibly stupid.
Also, Fisto definitely has a suave black guy thing going on. It's a good thing he's a Jedi, because he seems like type of dude who'd walk up to you and your woman in the club and end up taking her ass home. lol
Taking this as a prototype for some of the awkward areas we could run into with this new system:
I think this is the kind of area where people will probably need to accept the perception of things rather than looking for a definitive answer. It;s definitely a stretch to use material like encyclopaedias as canon-[ those things never were before and they are generally written by completely different people who pull facts from anywhere they like. This leaves the novels, which are a bit controversial in canon for the PT ones as they intentionally used a lot of EU material as background and it is hard to see that as a deliberate intent to canonise.
However, that's all up for debate. The kind of attitude I would like to promote is this: it is clear that the EU styles were designed entirely for the continuity which is now called Legends. Put it this way- they were never going to affect the movies, they were only trying to describe things scene in the movies, and if the movies had added distinct new styles, it would have been the EU that had to change to accommodate it. This, as ever, is no form of quality judgement, merely a common sense recognition of why they were designed.
So, if you want to treat them as in mainline continuity, there's no literal proof to deny it, but this would probably be seen as a bit of a stretch by others as they have a very hazy connection with the films.
