Welcome, Yca-ca!Hello, and welcome to Wookieepedia! I hope you like the place and choose to join our work. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
Wookieepedia aspires to be a reliable source for all Star Wars fans to read and draw information from, and as such, fan-created continuity and fan fiction are not allowed within our articles. All in-universe material must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Do not remove talk page and forum comments, including your own, as they are part of the public record.

As you said, information must be sourced. With that said, Ultimate Star Wars IS a valid source; being a reference book doesn't make it any less-valid. As stated in Wookieepedia's canon policy, "all officially-licensed source material released following the September 2, 2014 [is canon]." Reference books may not have a narrative, but they are written by the Lucasfilm Story Group, and they provide additional information on the characters and events featured in stories.
Additionally, authors of the new canon are allowed to borrow stories, characters, and concepts from the old EU; Shaak Ti's encounter with Grievous is just one example of this. Hope this clears things up! - Cwedin(talk) 19:43, April 27, 2016 (UTC)
- Just wanted to chime in here and say that Cwedin is correct. Reference books are legitimate sources of information in articles, and Ultimate Star Wars is a canonical reference book. So whatever it says about Shaak Ti is fair game for the Shaak Ti article. It should be noted, of course, that the article doesn't say anything about Shaak Ti's death, nor does Ultimate Star Wars. It just says a bit about her role in the Battle of Coruscant. So even with that information from Ultimate Star Wars, her fate remains unknown. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 00:07, April 28, 2016 (UTC)
- As Brandon pointed out, there's a fine point you don't seem to understand: yes, Tartarovsky's cartoon isn't canon anymore. Nevertheless, writers are free to recanonize elements of those stories if it's approved by the Story Group. Recanonizing an element doesn't recanonize the whole work it originated in. Also, I'd like to stress that post-April 25, 2014 reference books are valid sources. I know that some wikias, like TARDIS Core, only count narrative mediums as valid, but we don't. And it's not just our choice either, that's the way the Story Group treats it. --LelalMekha (talk) 08:49, April 28, 2016 (UTC)
