Canon confirmation

I am very interested in this series, but, how was it confirmed as canon? That still seems strange to me--though I'm not against it. Nivlacanator(talk) 05:14, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

  • We've been talking about this over on Senate Hall for a while; first, when asked directly, the author said it was canon, and then in one of the Celebration posts on the Star Wars website, it was said that Jennifer Heddle is working with the author on it, and with that and the previous statement of the author also working with Chee, we've gone with it being canon. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:32, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
  • In the Celebration posts about the new Canon continuity, they were asked if there will be some works that will revisit the continuity problems of the original trilogy novelization. They answered that Jennifer Heddle is working with Writer Hong, the author of this webtoon, who adds some more details of Luke's childhood. I'd say this confirms the webtoon as Canon.

  • So all in all it turned out that not everything relesed post April 2014 is canon, why they are doing that?--Kovallo (talk) 09:31, July 30, 2015 (UTC) 09:30, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
    • Everything published by the internal Star Wars creative team has been canon; this came from an outside source (with approval). Cwedin (talk) 11:11, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

English Translation

Do you think they will do an english translation of this comic for those non-korean reading folks? Jkirk8907 (talk) 06:10, April 19, 2015 (UTC)

  • Maybe when the Comic is finished? I hope so. By the way, I was translating this comic into English for readers who doesn't understand Korean. Although my English isn't good and the translation won't be official, at least I'll try to explain the story for folks who might be curious about this. Jaewade (talk) 06:34, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
    • Which raises the question, if a fan-translation is made, would it be inappropriate to ad a link on the page? 120.144.170.253 18:36, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
      • I don't know for surely but I think it is inappropriate to add it on the page. I was planning to have a link on this talk page though. Jaewade (talk) 18:49, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
        • A rough translation can be read for Chapter 1 at imgurDOTcomSLASHgallerySLASHxr6zD and Chapter 2 at imgurDOTcomSLASHgallerySLASHi6mm3 120.144.170.253 06:49, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

Never mind about what I said above. Disney Korea says there will be a publishing partner for the english version of the comic in global. Jaewade (talk) 01:59, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

  • Do you have a source on that which we can add to the article? ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:44, April 27, 2015 (UTC)
    • It's from a personal mail from Disney Korea staff, so I'm not sure this counts as a source that we can use. Jaewade (talk) 05:23, April 27, 2015 (UTC)
      • well can you post it here, so we can have a look?174.54.21.84 17:39, May 15, 2015 (UTC) Skylar
        • Sorry for replying late, I just noticed your comment. I don't think it's gonna be helpful. It's written in Korean, so I'd rather summarize the message:
Me: "Will there be a English version available?"
Staff: "The copyright of the webcomic content produced by Disney Korea and Lucasfilm belongs to The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) / Lucasfilm. Although it's a monopoly for DaumKakao in Korea, there'll be a publishing partner in global."

English title

Now that it is being released in English, it seems that it's just being called Star Wars. Overlordjeff (talk) 23:33, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Behind the scenes

In the articles for Luke, Owen, Beru, and Obi-Wan, information from this comic is listed in the Behind the scenes section instead of in the Biography section. Biggs' article does not have any information from this comic yet. Is there a reason for it being excluded from the biography or should it be moved there (and rewritten into an in-universe point of view)? I don't want to move/rewrite anything until I hear the original reason for why this was done. 155.246.113.113 15:49, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

  • We don't include bits of information from that webtoon into the bodies of our articles because Jennifer Heddle has said "its canon status is grey area." --LelalMekha (talk) 15:54, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

Question

OK, So if I were to make an article out of one of the redlinks in "Appearances", would I make it a Canon article? Legends? Something else? Geek'ari Talk 20:16, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

  • I feel like there needs to be a new template thing for these "Grey areas". Something like:
Atticon

This article's canonicity is unconfirmed.

This article contains information from sources that have not been confirmed by Lucasfilm to be Canon. The canonicity of events described in this article is currently unknown.

Just an idea Geek'ari Talk 01:00, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

I fully support, though I like how Halopedia words it. Maybe take this to SH? -- Dr. Porter Resistance starbird (Talk|Contribs) 04:06, July 15, 2016 (UTC)
OK, good ideas. I'll do so immediately. Geek'ari Talk 22:35, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Anchorhead articles

Does the story ever confirm that the building where Luke goes to drop off the womp rats is in Anchorhead? I believe that is what's listed as a red link.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 21:39, May 3, 2019 (UTC)

Citing this webcomic

I know this comic is cited in the appearances section of relevant articles, but why is it cited all at once and not as separate chapters like regular comics and their volumes (same thing goes for all other webcomics). The Timeline of canon media page is the only page I've seen that lists them separately, but that seems like a special case. Is there any page that discusses this already? I want to know the reasoning behind the way it's currently cited, if there is any at all. -MontztheMan02 (talk) 10:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

  • This has been in practice for some times with web comics/online manga, as we tend not to create individual pages for those (a good example would be the SWTOR webcomics who released like 4 pages every week). This was only very recently introduced to our policy by a concensus vote. The part that concern this topic is the following: 
    Webcomics or manga released online in short individual chapters do not have articles for individual issues and should be listed by the overall series [...]

Availability

In the archive of the Webtoon.com translation of this comic, while the page containing the list of chapters still appears intact, it seems that the images of the comic itself were either not archived, or have since been deleted. Either the archive link should be removed, or it should be noted that only the website structure has been preserved, but not the content of the comic itself. --k1darkknight (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

  • Sorry for the late reply, but do you have a specific example in mind? It may have to do with flash, a problem that can be mitigated through the use of web browser pluggin suche as Ruffle. NanoLuukeCloning Facility 18:54, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
