The end of Star Wars ANH is offensive...

Chewie got a medal. The novelization mentions specifically that he was too tall to get it put on him by Leia.

The Marvel Comic adaptation also mentions it.

I don't know what's sadder, you knowing that or me thinking the same thing and getting ready to type it.

Yeah, he was too lazy to bend down to let her put it on him...

Alright, DarthUrious. Remember novels and graphic novels don't truly count in the Star Wars universe. If you count them as official canon, then you have to count the disaster that is The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network and the Star Wars Christmas Special (not to mention the 'Droids and Ewoks cartoons).

Or that a Horta was in Starfleet and serving was on the Enterprise.....oh wait sorry, wrong universe.

Was that a novel or that cartoon from the 70s?

[Jangler]

One of the older novels, I have read so many I couldn't tell you which one. But I thought it was kind of silly to have a Horta in Starfleet.

Clone Wars counts...

Clone Wars counts...

In your world, maybe...;)

The novelization of Star Wars was ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, who helped Lucas with some tweaking of the shooting script. Lucas is credited as the actual author. That's about as "canon" as you can get.

As a reward, Foster got to write the first post movie novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye. He referenced the Kaiburr Crystal, which was in earler drafts of the movie, the MacGuffin the heroes were after. What was interesting was that Han Solo was referenced in the book only as "a smuggler [Luke] used to know", which suggests pretty strongly that originally, Solo was not really going to be involved in later stories. And Luke was still totally in puppy dog love mode with Leia. Cool book.

[Darth Urious]

who wasn't in puppy dog love mode with Leia?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

If Lucas makes a dollar off of it, its canon. Blame him.
