You have Star Wars canon that says the torps are 1 kiloton. You then have other examples where the yield varies. Which is correct? It's not like something like this hasn't happened in star wars before where different sources say different things. So? It says that the 1 kiloton warhead was omnidirec...

He's denied the Lucasfilm canon system. Vympel did tell him how the canon system works. Ignored evidence about the required yield for a proton torpedo. Ignored evidence provided by boardmembers. Seriously WTF? You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. It is this clear and obviou...

no that is not what they are saying. They are saying there is no canonical evidence that says x-wing proton torps are 191 megatons.There is evidence that some are much more but none pointing to the yield of the x-wing ones. It could be more but it could be less. You're presuming that X-Wing protorp...

so I am getting that the general consensus is that there is no canonical evidence of the x wings proton torpedoes strength.

yeah I don't know where it came from either but I very clearly remember when I was a kid at summer camp one of my camp consular was a huge star wars fan. He told us that Anakin was pushed into a volcano. I also remember him saying that all the storm troopers where clones because they repeated what O...

hmm won't let me edit this into my last post so here you go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGMvadAFqLQ here it is you can see Wedge fire the Proton torpedoes at the power regulator on the north tower North Tower. My god that is just one beautiful battle. I can't think of a single battle in any sci ...

that is where Star Wars canon gets tricky. Because some novels say things that sort of go against canon like Han Solo coming from a planet that already has a space station larger then the Death Star and things like that. So there are somethings in the novels you have to take with a grain of salt. F...

Thats not how canon works. If a source says the ships' weapons have 'x' firepower, then they have 'x' firepower. Neither Dr. Saxton nor any other author needs somewhere to 'get' those numbers from. However, there are sources that vaguely point to the capability of warheads in Star Wars, for example...

true but as far as the well trained I always figured that is because all the pilots were in the acadamy and that is where they got their training. The ships I figure they either stole or salvaged and rebuilt. I mean even if the Rebels had a ton of money it's not like they could go around buying up s...

So I got in a disscusion about X wing Proton Torpedoes and their yield on youtube. Anyhow the two people claim up and down that Proton Torpedoes have a 192 megaton yield. When I asked for a specific book or reference for that number they could not produce one but came to that number in a really rand...

now this is a good topic as i have recently had disscusions with people about canon. My understanding has always been there are 2 univerese so to speak. You have The Movies and then you have the EU. Everything in the EU must conform to the continuity of the movies but they are still seperate in a wa...
