User blog:John Alfred Hammond, CEO/Another Canon Blog...

Alright, I know that the three major canons (Novel, Film, Trespasser, etc.) are different in several ways, but hear me out; specifically in the Trespasser and Film canons, there aren't as large of differences as people think (major dates being the main difference, but they are most certainly NOT mentioned in the films, and therefore, the actual dates are up for grabs). Now, the Wookieepedia (the Star Wars wiki) clearly states in it's articles that many things that don't coincide with the main timeline/canon are simply retconned. I don't see why things are so much different between the Film and Trespasser canons. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks and good to be back.
