: No, but the original Star Trek did not build nearly as
: expansive a universe outside the immediate events as
: Myth did. The later Treks did start building such a
: universe... and have since contradicted themselves
: many times. Of course every time someone goes back in
: time in Star Trek, the whole universe changes... which
: is why we never had the Eugenics Wars in 1996, and
: thus Star Treks 2-6 never happened.
: But it was supervised and approved by Lucas, and is thus
: cannon.
: The History of Middle Earth books are almost entirely
: compilations, crossreferences, and analysis of JRR's
: original notes (he wrote a LOT of stuff that he never
: published), mixed in with the original books. Same
: goes for all of the Lost Tales books, and even the
: Silmarillion, which I doubt anyone would question the
: authority of.
: Most of the "new" information in M3 (and other
: new MJ-Mythverse info that wasn't mentioned in M3),
: was made up by MJ. Bungie didn't leave them a lot of
: "concept work" to work with.
so they made it up...
I wish they had done a better job, but that's probably mostly the fault of the gdmf boss capitalist pigs who were only interested in getting it out on the market and ripping off as many myth fans as they could.
