Do you think the comics are canon?

[elisi]

Go take jamalov29's very simple poll!

(Incidentally, how many people consider the movie canon? Because I certainly don't. And the movie is *much* closer to the show than the comics. There was more to the show than Joss - as is by now blatantly obvious! *g*)

ETA: Actually - what do y'all think about the movie in canon terms? Joss disowned it, yet it is obviously where everything started, right down to (S)Pike.

Creators should at the very least be pinned down and asked questions like:

"If this character says she remembers her mother, why are you having the mother die giving birth to her?"

"Why would an eight year old slave boy on a backwater planet build a freaking Protocol Droid to help his mom out when the mom has nothing to do with translating millions of languages?"

"Didn't Obi Wan Kenobi originally bring baby Luke to Tatooine to hide him in a backwater planet in the middle of nowhere because nobody would think to look there? In that case, why is Tatooine the center of half the politically important events in recent memory instead of the previously described backwater?"

Not to mention, "Why are you suddenly trying to give a really crappy pseudo-scientific explanation for a mystical Life Force that is part of everything when everyone was perfectly happy with it being mystical, and WTF do you think you're doing with this virgin birth shit?"

At least Joss is still actively involved in caring about the plot instead of sitting back and counting the money because he's dead certain he'll get plenty from the collectible toys no matter what.

Heh. I think George Lucas and Joss have diametrically opposed ways of approaching the 'I can do anything!' situation. Lucas decides to do nothing but FiTBs and added continuity which makes no sense, and Joss thinks that jumping ahead a few years with no explanations is a fabulous idea, and no one will mind that the characters' actions make no sense.
