Forum:SH Archive/Design an Alien Contest contentions

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

This thread is to create a deciding vote on the canonicity of the Design an Alien contest. While Leland Chee said on his blog that "the aliens published for this contest are canon, though any text discrepencies with other sources would likely to be superceded by the other source," there are some users here who feel that a lack of information on sentient species native to planets such as Dagobah and Yavin IV is tacet proof that there are no sentient species native to these planets. According to contest, the Critokians and Hepsalum Tash are native to Yavin IV and Dagobah, respectively. While not mentioned in the ''Essential Guide to Planets and Moons, the articles for these worlds do not explicitly claim that the worlds are devoid of intelligent native species.

For the creatures' canonicity

 * This is absurd, but I created this thread as per one user's request. Not mentioning a species as being native certainly has no bearing on whether the species is later revealed to be from a planet. How many times have retcons changed such things? To me, the Design An Alien contest is just another retcon. Cutch 23:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
