Canon and non-canon scenes?

[harrie]

I consider the deleted scenes canon, since they don't contradict with the movie. There is only one contradicting deleted scene where the 2nd valkyrie shuttle is seen in the battle (flying on the port side of the first one). The ASG could also considered to be canon, but the game not, since the storyline is not fixed and even the gender of characters can be selected (some things like the existence of the Tipani clan or certain locations could still be considered canon. The script is not fully canon, since there are differences to the movie.
The official novel by JC would be canon, but other novels by different authors not (Star Trek novels are not canon, there are many of them).
The canonicity of the deleted scenes has to be reconsidered when the novel and sequel comes out (if, e.g. Neytiri is indeed pregnant).
