treating it as non-canon will only lead to problems

personally i hope they do a film version of the first contact war

because that could be truely epic, and if done well could lead alot of new fans right into the video games and books seemlessly

think about it, you see the movie and say "that was awesome" so you pick up the book

then you learn holy crap there is a video game? this movie was based on a game? i did not know that perhaps i will swallow my pride and finally buy and xbox

and then bam a fourty nine year old film and boook fan is playing a video game, and usbsequently his marriage is either destroyed (because of gaming) or restored (because his wife and him have found a new common ground)

of course this scenario is not applicable to everyone
