Forum:SH:Proposal to change novelizations from Legends back to Canon.

There's some more stuff in this proposal.

Primarily two points of this proposal:

-Per remarks made by Jennifer Heddle:

Q: what about TCW tie-in novels like Gambit, or No Prisoners? Legends or canon?

JH: That's probably a question for @HolocronKeeper.

I propose that we shift the status of Wild Space, No Prisoners, and the Gambit Duology to Canon, as this suggests that a decision has not been made. We should follow a "Canon until determined Legends" policy here.

-Per remarks by Del-Rey, the novelizations of the films should be shifted back from Legends to Canon, as the meaning of their statement of alignment is intended to be for portions of the novels which directly contradict the films, such as the fight between the Jedi Masters and Palpatine, and details such as "Owen Kenobi" (which had already been retconned away in the Legends continuity). Therefore, the declaration of the novelizations as Legends is contradictory to the purpose of the novelizations' canonicity - in cases where the films and novels utterly contradict one another, the films overrule them, but in cases where the novelizations merely elaborate, the novelizations remain canon. Only portions directly contradicted by the films should be considered Legends, not the entirety of the novelizations.
