Corsucant was first mentioned and described as a city planet, center to the Republic/Empire, in one of Timothy Zahn's books, namely "Heir to the Empire".UniveralNetguru wrote:That's not debating, it's wanking.
Coruscant exists in the G-canon, because it was shown in the G-canon; however there's no logic in claiming that every EU-wank regarding Coruscant therefore exists in the G-canon as well!
That's why Lucas said it's 2 universes: i.e. the G-universe Coruscant, and the E-Universe corsuscant which has planetary shields.
Lucas used the same planet, and depicted it exactly as Zahn had...
So Lucas went in the EU, selected a part of it he liked or wanted, and used it in the movies.
The same Lucas who apparently has nothing to do with the EU, and never reads any of the stuff, or doesn't care about it.
Well, he seems to care enough to use it as inspiration sometimes, doesn't he...
Ok, let me make this real simple for you:That's called a "false contrapositive."
Continuation by the T-canon, does not imply continuity within the G-canon. In other words, RotS does not subsume the events or stats of TCW movie or series, it's a different universe still... thank God.
Lucas's involvement on TESB:
-Produced;
-Pitched ideas of what he wanted to happen;
-Did not write the script, did not direct;
Lucas's involvement in TCW movie and series:

By your failed logic, TESB isn't part of the movie Canon either.
"Oh wait", you're going to say, "it's a movie, so of course it's part of it"...
Well, so was the first "episode" of TCW, it came out as a movie, so then, movie Canon as well... :)
Actually, the movies show SW kicks ST's but across the universes... :Pmainly since the films prove that ST could kick warsie-butt across the universe :D
