Non-canon
The Tales story where Finn appears is non-canonical. QuentinGeorge 06:59, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- What makes you say that? SWTG says otherwise. MarcK 07:08, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Because it was from the period of Tales where the stories were Infinities unless stated otherwise. Nathan Butler integrates into his timeline any story which fits, basically. QuentinGeorge 07:09, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Well I don't recall any method they used to say whether a story was Infinities or not; they basically left it up to the reader. So if it fits into the continuity I don't see what the problem is. MarcK 07:18, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- No, after Dave Land took over ALL stories in Star Wars Tales became Infinities unless referenced in another source. Case in point - Sintas Vel and Ailyn Vel first appeared in Tales, but weren't canon until appearances in Star Wars Gamer and later History of the Mandalorians. QuentinGeorge 07:28, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Ah....so should I just slap a {{noncanon}} tag on all of the unconfirmed stories then? MarcK 07:30, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

"Darth" Finn.
Regardless of canonicity, appending "Darth" here is Fanon. There's nothing to indicate that he ever held the name/title. Move it to Finn. QuentinGeorge 04:14, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Additonally, all the information on when he lived are merely assumptions, and should be removed. QuentinGeorge 04:15, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- OK, moving it back. But I'm only shortening, not removing, the BTS section for now. — Silly Dan 12:06, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Well since he abides by Bane's "rule of two" and since all the sith in that lineage went by Darth ..., It can be safely assumed that Finn is indeed his sith name, thus making him Darth Finn. Infinities are usually labled infinities in the title. —Unsigned comment by DarthMalus (talk • contribs)
- Problem is, early Star Wars Tales issues are somewhere between Infinities and the mainstream of canon. The only exceptions are stories which were referred to in later works (which have become canon) and stories which disagree greatly with other stories (which are obviously not canon.) — Silly Dan 02:30, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Well, since the author already explained that he was indeed meant to be in Bane's Order, should we change the article name to "Darth Finn", since despite the ambiguous canonicity, within it's own little universe (for now), he would indeed be a Darth? --Sauron18 03:26, 10 June 2006
- Ok then, Someone it to Darth Finn, since the author has revealed him to be such indirectly.--Sauron18 03:26, 10 June 2006
- Where? Or are we just extrapolating from the content of the story? —Silly Dan (talk) 20:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, apparently the author indicated that he meant for these Sith to be of Banes Order. That would mean that he is a Darth. We didn't call him this before because we werent' absolutley sure he was in the Bane order, but now that he is... --Sauron18 03:54, 10 June 2006

- if by his very placement in Bane's order that you couldn't pick that up, but i guess the authors need to keep in mind about the slower readers who need things spelled out despite being obvious. —Unsigned comment by 24.158.72.111 (talk • contribs)
- I don't know exactly where, but it says so in the article, so someone here must know. I was just continuing from the "fact" included in the article.--Sauron18 21:20, 11 June 2006
- Well, just readressing this, apparently Kuralyov put in: on December 29
- "However, the author of his comic stated that it was set during the Rule of Two, within a hundred years or so of Plagueis."
- I don't know his source, but apprently it was real (since this has been on since then), which would mean that "Finn" should in fact be called "Darth Finn". --Sauron18 06:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- So um.....could anyone with the powers to do so change the article name to "Darth"? --Sauron18 12:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, the fact is he was never referred to as Darth, and though it's extremely likely he was one, we don't know what his Sith name actually was. It may have been Fiin, or that could just be his non-Sith name. Until we get more info on this guy, it's best to leave him and Marka as they are. Kaje 12:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

template
Shouldn't he have the Dark lord of the sith template?-user:remoh
- Well, he's not totally canonical, so maybe not. — Silly Dan 22:02, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- let us see how it works.-user:remoh
- pretty accurate right?-user:remoh
- Since he's non-canonical (currently), he shouldn't be in the succession box. QuentinGeorge 10:38, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- pretty accurate right?-user:remoh
- let us see how it works.-user:remoh
- He should be labled Darth Finn. This character is ambiguous, not non canon as it doesnt fit the criteria for that placement. DarthMalus 06:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Timeline
When did the author of this comic state the time period? It's pretty much what most readers would infer, but I'm curious to know when it was set down. — Silly Dan 22:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- There's no indication of timeframe within the story "The Apprentice" itself. There is another story in the same issue, "All For You," that takes place 1000 years before Endor, or 996 BBY. But that's really it, and it's not even related to anything involving Finn (or Darth Finn, your preference). If someone heard the author, Mike Denning, indicate the timeframe, it was elsewhere. Erik Pflueger 22:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- He said it in an interview from a while back. I'd post the link but I have no idea where it even is now. Kuralyov 20:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- If this is so, then the article should be "Darth Finn" --Sauron18 15:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- He's never called "Darth Finn", so the article will not be moved. QuentinGeorge 21:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- The author confirmed his a Sith in the Post Bane era, his apprentice calls him "Master Finn", hence, the logical conclusion would be that he is "Darth Finn" --Sauron18 00:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree this should be moved to Darth Finn —Unsigned comment by 24.158.73.178 (talk • contribs)

Main Image
Would this be a better image of Finn/Darth Finn? Telos 09:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC) [Image has been deleted]
- That's a fan edited version of Finn, the original image is only half of his face, and with hair. --Sauron18 22:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Sith Lord/Dark Lord
If this guy was a member of the brotherhood and sith master, doesnt it mean that he was also a Sith Lord (or in this time a Dark lord) like any other sith masters in the brotherhood? If so, he should be added to them.--ScorpiO 12:25, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- Category:Members of the Brotherhood of Darkness is a subcategory of Category:Sith Lords of the New Sith Wars, so he is being counted as a Dark Lord here. (Now, is my identification of Finn as a member of the brotherhood, based on the timeline given in CWSE, OK?) —Silly Dan (talk) 14:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that depends on the exact passage in the CSWE. The Brotherhood was only in existence for a few years so if it's only stated that Finn lived in this general era, then we cannot make such an assumption. Charlii 16:54, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
- So If he is according to CSWE active durnig the and of the new sith wars, he must have been the member of the brotherhood, It is also on his Affiliation in his article. So, can I add him to the page of Brotherhood as member, and to the page of Sith lord and Dark Lord? Because all sith masters in the brotherhood were lords.--ScorpiO 08:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
