Star Wars is like 3 times as expansive as the halo universe and been around longer, yet you don't see any major cannon mock ups like you see here (they even try connecting all known comic books, movies, games, etc. in some of their sources...though this does NOT include the "clone wars" CGI series...that whole series is full of cannon mistakes and purely idiotic). There's no real excuse for these errors.
Whoa whoa whoa. Don't try to compare the cannon breaks in this one game with the ones in Star Wars. If you can find a group picking apart the details of star wars cannon the way is done to Halo here, you'd see that Star Wars has contradictions EVERYWHERE. 90% of EVERYHING written about the time before the original trilogy that was written before the prequels came out, had to be completely thrown out or retconned in a major way, as Episodes 1-3 pretty much made so many of those stories not work. George Lucas allows the expanded universe to happen probably because ts nice and flattering people want to tell stories in his world, but mainly because he makes money out the wazoo on it. He has said repeatedly however, that none of the expanded universe stuff is official cannon, or at least not the same universe as his movies, even though he approves all of it. The only stuff outside the movies that Lucas has said is official cannon on or close to the level of the movies, is Shadows of the Empire, and The Force Unleashed, and honestly, if he ever decides to do the live action show that takes place between the trilogies that he's talked about doing, he'd probably end up writing The Force Unleashed out anyway.
ANYWAY, long story short, Star Wars is FULL of TONS of cannon errors and contradictions (or would be if anything but he movies counted as cannon(although there are some errors even in the movies themselves))far beyond ANYTHING in all of the Halo universe.
