Talk: Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head

Reference book or canon story?

Question to those who have the book: Is this a reference book for the series, or does it actually have a narrative? Like, is each of the battle its own mini-story? --Dentface (talk) 21:51, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

• Well, now that's an interesting question. I've read it and it certainly has the feel of a reference book to me. But you're right that each battle is presented as a sort of mini-story. In the past, we haven't labeled the other "Head to Head" books as reference books, which was I didn't for this one either. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:03, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
  • Without having read it, I'd say reference book. The battles within them are obviously not meant to be canonical (in the sense of existing within the continuity of the show). - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 00:06, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
    • Actually, that's incorrect. While the previous two installments in the series were theoretical match-ups, the ones in this book are stuff that actually happens on the show. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:09, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
      • I don't recall Sabine vs. Aresko, Wookiee gunship vs. Imperial freighter, and so forth. Are there actual images from the show to represent these fights? - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 00:15, November 19, 2014 (UTC)
        • You know, I checked the book out from the library and I don't have it right now, so I'd have to check to be sure. But that doesn't mean those fights aren't coming in later episodes. A lot of the other battles that are mentioned do match up, though, for example, the stuff about Jarrus fighting The Inquisitor and only barely escaping, not being a match for him.

          • After Call to Action, I think it's safe to say Sabine vs. Aresko isn't going to happen. Should we classify this solely as a reference book? Cevan (talk) 18:50, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
            • We have been, so far as I know. So yes, it should be a reference book. - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 18:59, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
              • I don't know, his headless corpse could put up quite a fight. The appearances section of this article is sorely lacking. - AV-6R7^{User talk:AV-6R7} 19:05, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
              • Sounds good. One question though: how should we handle characters who first appeared in Head to Head? I know Maketh Tua first appeared in this book, however now that it's strictly a source rather than an appearance should we credit her first appearance to being in HoloNet News? Or should we just put (First appearance) next to Head to Head in the sources section? Cevan (talk) 19:08, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
                • I've been placing this in the sources section for a while now. I don't know how to handle that though. - AV-6R7^{User talk:AV-6R7} 19:10, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
                  • So are we certain these stories and match ups are non canon? Some of them seem to reflect duels in the show, such as Kanan vs Inquisitor Round 1 ending with Kanan losing, others reflect entirely new match ups, such as the C-ROC smuggler and her attempt to evade a Star Destroyer and Vizago's gun runner, others seem to be improbable, like Amda Wabo killing/beating up Maketh Tua, while the others could just happen off screen or between episodes. So, while Aresko and Grint are dead, their matchups could still have happened earlier off screen. This we may all know, but I'm wondering if there's any real confirmation any of this is non-canon, or since this book is part of Nu-Canon, would it be more correct to assume these are Canon until we are explicitly told otherwise? --Clonehunter^{(Report your W.M.D.)} 23:11, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

(reset indent) Of course they're canon—that was never a question. The question is whether they're a story that should go in the "Appearances" section, or something that should go into the "Sources" section. Given the nature of the book, the answer is the latter: it's a reference book that should go into "Sources." Some match-ups may be real, but this is a reference book, not a narrative. - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 23:30, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

• What I meant was are the Match Ups and their outcomes Canon within Nu-Canon, something for the biographies, or are the match ups and their outcomes meant for the BtS section. Or rather, how should we treat them for now. --Clonehunter^{(Report your W.M.D.)} 01:29, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Masses

Could anyone who owns Head to Head fill in the remaining masses (and heights, if there are any missing) for characters in this book? I've noticed that some, such as Kanan, Hera, and Sabine, are missing their mass, and I'm sure several others do not yet have this information on their pages as well.

• I'm on it. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:56, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
  • That should be it. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 20:24, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
    • Is there any extra info in the book on the C-ROC Gozanti-class cruiser or RGC-18 landspeeder? Cevan (talk) 20:31, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
      • Added what I could find. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 20:44, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
        • Thanks AV! Cevan (talk) 21:01, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
