The publisher's still WotC. The fact that it was written by a fan doesn't make the article any less valid.


Leland Chee's a fan, as well.

Leland Chee is the Keeper of the Holocron, and thus has the authority to dictate canon. A random graphic designer and a school teacher do not. 😂

The distinction that needs to be understood here is between the source material itself, and a commentary on the source material. They are not the same. One is factual, the other is an intepretation of those facts. These are their own thoughts and opinions, nothing more.

And no, it was only published onto WotC's website, had no hand in its creation.

You're legit making up BS without anything to support it, lmfao.

And no, it was published by WotC.

If there's one thing I like (since nothing else I do lasts), it's talking sense.

And it didn't occur to me 'til I went out of my way to read Beni's posts what an imbecile he is.

Dry those tears dearest. And that makes no difference. I'm afraid there is zero reason to take this as canon.

Either this is some crappy april fools trolling or you genuinely took it personally that I listed you as a shit-tier debater. Lol.

Anyways, I can't remember a single instance where I started insulting you without provocation.

Not really. Just curious why you seem to have something against me tbh. It doesn't seem like I'll be getting an answer though so that's alright.

How retarded can you be?

If it was fan fiction or a blog, it would be published on the WotC forum boards, which blogs are regularly posted.

It was instead posted on the official website, which had authorization from LucasArts.

I don't think you realize that quotes we regularly debate also come from these WotC web supplements, especially quotes involving Palpatine and Byss.

In which blogs are regularly posted?

Oh noes quotes involving Palpatine & Byss?! How will I cope. 🙁

And non-canon blogs are posted to SW.com every day. Utter fail of an argument.

Regardess, I never said it was fan fiction, just not official source material.

right...

Maeks poifikt sense.

More sense than getting SW canon from my science teacher. 😱

Not sure what to think of it, if I'm honest. On the one hand the source of the quote is apparently shifty and has come under fire regarding its legitimacy. On the other, assuming it does fall under official C-canon status, then I'd rather not just ignore an entire source solely because I dislike its conclusion.

Beni had given absolutely no reasons for it not to be considered canon.

Show me a quote showing that these sorts of material are not canonical.

Otherwise it falls under Chee's quote as either a game.

It doesn't fall under anything, and is not to be taken seriously. Bye.

mmm

Thing is, no one took quotes out of posts like this: http://www.starwars.com/news/from-a-certain-point-of-view-who-is-more-powerful-the-emperor-or-yoda as canon, so I don't see why people are starting to do it now...

We aren't.

[but Az does]

Bet at least some of those quotes placing Kun > Ragnos were written by fans, too.

sshhh sel, the game is we accept it's canon, but ignore it anyway.

Where? Always open to KotOR II wank, even if it isn't legit. 🙂

On a more serious note, if this is true, we only have more of a reason to not take these stupid quotes. But we know that already. Aren't these the ones that rank Bastila alongside Obi-Wan and Dooku?

Asked Leeland on Twitter. His answer can be interpreted differently, but regardless... thoughts?
