I was having a conversation about this just yesterday:



From the terribly amusing Home on the Strange.

Just because the author writes it does mean it's canon -- but just because it's canon doesn't mean it's good.

Yeah, once the stories in my head become more fun for me than what's on the screen/page/console/etc., it's usually time for me to pack up and go home. I mean, I respect a medium when it totally Josses all my speculation -- but does it in a way that is awesome! (see: a lot of Buffy, the Xenosaga games) But if I feel the author has wailed away on the LAME! button, it's a different story.

...In conclusion, I have an embarrassing amount of sympathy for the brown-haired girl there.

...As evidence to my first statement there, I reference how many Star Wars fans I know pretend the three prequel movies never happened.

[andrewducker]

True.

As it happens, I actively like AotC and RotS, and it's only Jar-Jar that ruins TPM for me.

"Just because the author writes it does mean it's canon -" yes -

but it doesn't mean it's RIGHT.

It's the lovely cottage that decides it for me

Frankly I'm not sure that "lovely cottages all round" is a terribly satisfying conclusion :->

ah, the old canon vs fanon dilemma. My view - read both.

[andrewducker]

I don't think I have that much time :->

[andrewducker]
