I usually only consider canon what was actually on screen. But I think these guys mention something along the same lines in that Russian interview.

Lol...I understand what you are saying. I really like Legacy at the beginning but by the end I was just glad it was over.. The 7th and 8th Legacy books tied up more loose ends in mediocre ways as well. Basically canon is whatever the buyer wants really. MGM isn't overly concerned about it I'm sure even if though they approve the stories. I'm sure die hard fans of the movie feel the same way about the show.

Cause what would these comics be then? They are season 6, but Legacy also claims to be season 6... Just saying.
And personally, Legacy is bad fanfiction. I've read fanfiction written by those authors and hardly recognized my beloved characters so... no, not canon.

When it comes to 'extended universe' type stories and continuations I generally agree that the fans decide for themselves what they accept as canon, which is usually only what is on screen.
If these comics prove themselves in their quality I could see some people accepting them as Season 6, but I'd also totally understand if people don't regard them as such. If anything you could call them Unofficial Seasons and that satisfies most people. I think the term 'fanon' is also used, noting a well told story that is as good as the official material but is still fanfiction.
The idea of SG-1, SGA and SGU possibly being considered fanfiction because they didn't involve Emmerich or Devlin is actually a pretty fair point

I wholeheartedly agree. I think a series recap could help sell the series to new fans who know nothing of the series as well as helping fans whose SGA knowledge may be a bit rusty. Just $659 to go! With six days left of the kickstarter campaign I'm really hopeful that it will reach the goal.

Considering the less than spectacular backing for SGA -- a few hundred the fandom don't make. SGU is doomed to fail.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
