Well the sourcebook is contradictory to many things that are canon so I don't
put much stock in it. However anything that is explained in it with no other
explaination, could and arguably should be used untill/unless something canon
or offical comes along. Lucasfilm/Lucasarts offical standpoint is that the
sourcebook is little more than fan fiction though. (Kinda like Paramounts
attitude toward every Trek novel save 2 by one of the producers.)

Yes I experience that quite a bit myself. So I fully understand your reaction.
