Um... The Star Wars Roleplaying Game and Sourcebook is not considered canon
matieral. (Canon material means it is "real" in the Universe so is one step
above "Offical" material.) The order of canon is in order of most important in
the event of a contradiction: Movies, Original Radio Dramas of movies,
Novelisations of Movies, Expanded Universe novels published by Bantam, and
Comics published by Dark Horse. Everything else is basically considered false
and misinformation. Offical material is usually stuff like the Star Wars
Encyclopedia and the Behind the Magic CD. (offical means it is authorized and
based on canon material.) Anything in an offical source is always overruled by
a canon source. Everything else; Droids cartoon, and Star Wars game computer
or otherwise, is basically worthless for getting stats out of.
