New canon level?

[Crazedwraith]

Indeed, but how long before the hardcore EU fanwhores start bitching about the lack of "zomg referances!"? They'll wonder where their victory class SDs and dildo cruisers went.

You don't like Victories or Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaughts?

Ugh Dreadnoughts. "Hey! Let's take a box and put an engine on the back! Brilliant! Then let's do it again with a bunch of other phallic shaped boxes and say these are the best a millenia old galactic society could build!"

I'm confident we won't see any of those garbage scows when Lucasfilm's designers are capable of so much better.

Am I the only one who thinks the Invisible Hand looks liek a Dreadnought with added fins and a hole in the side?

[Anguirus]

Nope. I'm sure some of the same conceptual material inspired both.

Capital ships are pretty much tubes or daggers.

[Master_Baerne]

That would be the EU writers. You know, the guys who invent the ships in the first place.

[Anguirus]

They're all variations of tubes or daggers in the movies and in the Lucasfilm concept art too.

[Stark]

Many EU ships are recycled concept art from the early movies, for instance.

This isn't drafting publication for a new book. For all we know, it could just involve creating a text file and saying "for X amount of time, all Y material goes in Z category."

Actually, Spanky is overstating how much work it would take. At this point, all the work it takes to create the T canon is Chee saying to himself, "everything from these TV shows that we're working on is T canon". Nobody has to do anything.

Even if things from the TV shows have already made it into the Holocron, it takes about a minute to add a new canon category (assuming that the Holocron works in the same way that every other database I have ever worked with works). As momentous as a new canon category is to vs. or regurlar Star Wars fans, for Chee it's just part of the job, and a particularly easy one at that.
