These same types of discussions come up on the Indiana Jones board from time to time. My thoughts are the same for both - I find it absolutely hilarious that there are various classifications of canon. It's all make-believe. There isn't official make-believe - it's all fucking make-believe.
I'm with Frink on this one. It's not something I give one iota of credence to. I read what I like - ignore what I don't. What George decides is real or not is of zero concern to me - other than the fact that the more he approves of something, the more I see it as a complete waste of time i.e - everything after 1980.
I'll decide what's worth bothering with - not someone who has decided their make-believe is the official make-believe. A fucking website devoted to levels of official make-believe? - and people allow themselves to be governed by it? That's pure fucking genius on the part of Lucas.
He actually has followers who wait - and abide by - his decisions of what's real fake vs fake fake. A tip of the hat to you, George. You are one savvy son of a bitch.
Well said, Anchorhead. You made me laugh with that last paragraph. But it's so true! I (like many seem to) have my own personal version of the Star Wars universe consisting of the things i've watched or read that I liked & "felt like Star Wars". If I take a chance on something & it doesn't jive with my world, I toss it.
Oh, & what Indy board? I've browsed theraider.net occasionally but am unaware of any others.
