Okay, but maybe I can try and shed some light on it? Star Trek's system is actually similar. Everything released onscreen is canon, but not all of it is continuity.Batman wrote:This is going nowhere fast. Let's end this. I conceed that using the asinine canon rules apparently employed by LFL, information that is shown, by higher canon, to be FLAT OUT WRONG nevertheless remains canon for some reason beyond my comprehension.
In the same manner, 'canon' is a true, official SW product, released as part of the SW saga. Parts of it is non-continuity, but they're still SW saga products. While the Infinities stories are true, official SW products as well, but they were never part of the saga, hence they're not canon at all.
