We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

The >Technical Manuals elaberate on the technology that >isn't even mentioned in the movies or in the books. I've read many of them. As I have said, they are all allowed unless they conflict with the movies. In the cases of the novels that occur after the events in the movies, they are obviously going to conflict a lot less than those that portray the same events as the movies. However, there can still be conflicts. As an example, those novels that refer to the past of Boba Fett. They may have to be reconsidered as incorrect now, since we get to see some of his past in AOTC. This point is also covered on the Star Wars website (http://www.starwars.com/community/askjc/steve/askjc20000424.html) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
