Unabhängig davon, daß jabberwockyGE natürlich der beste Spielejournalist der Welt ist und deswegen der Herr Dammes selbstverständlich nur ein schlechter Praktikant *hust*:
Auch im Einklang mit den jeweiligen Quellen die du genannt hast, scheint nur eins durch - alle sind sich nicht einig darüber was das EU ist und vor allem widersprechen sich manche sogar selbst.
George Lucas Aussagen:
"There are two worlds here," explained Lucas. "There's my world, which is the movies, and there's this other world that has been created, which I say is the parallel universe—the licensing world of the books, games and comic books. They don't intrude on my world, which is a select period of time, [but] they do intrude in between the movies. I don't get too involved in the parallel universe."
When I said [other people] could make their own Star Wars stories, we decided that, like Star Trek, we would have two universes: My universe and then this other one. They try to make their universe as consistent with mine as possible, but obviously they get enthusiastic and want to go off in other directions."
Sind recht eindeutig - EU = Paralleluniversum.
Und das wäre ja schon wieder Nicht-Canon.
"When it comes to absolute canon, the real story of Star Wars, you must turn to the films themselves—and only the films. Even novelizations are interpretations of the film, and while they are largely true to George Lucas' vision (he works quite closely with the novel authors), the method in which they are written does allow for some minor differences."
Dabei ist klar das Georgie Boy absolut gar nicht eng mit den Authoren zusammenarbeitet laut seinen eigenen Aussagen.
Und genau aus diesem Grund gibt es gut ein halbes Dutzend verschiedene Arten von "Canon"...
