VRAM Wrote: lurkinghorror Wrote: It's cool seeing the timeline integrated like this. Well thanks! Allow me to say that coming from the likes of you Mr. Walker, this is by far the best compliment I've received regarding this my 'unofficial' Tron time line... You know, in one of the earlier versions of this timeline I added what I consider is one of the cooler tidbits of info in the whole Tron 'expanded universe' if you will, that being Jet moving in to the loft in FLYNN'S arcade... but then, as you say, it was revealed all of that happened inside the digital world... So please, by all means, feel free to point out if I misinterpreted this or any other details I may be missing in the time line when it comes to TRON:GITM and I'll update it asap.

The way we had it set up (as approved by Disney) was that Jet sort of inherited apartment above Flynn's old arcade (which was now a laundromat). As the backup copy believed itself to be Jet, and was operating with all of Jet's memories, it was remembering something that was (more or less) accurate. So the implication was that the real Jet did/does live in the old arcade.

O.K., as most of you know, the additional information that would update this unofficial timeline/chronology sooner than later has arrived via the ENCOM International website, specifically through the past.htm webpage, however, it's more than what I expected! It adds or changes some 15 new dates/events, at least...

Even so, that I've decided leaving the CUTUC, that is, the 'Completely Unofficial TRON Universe Chronology', as it is right now (that is, version 1.5.5 plus a new 'source symbology' explanation) for archival purposes... Now that a new video game, TV series and maybe other movie sequels have been like "confirmed" (if I'm not mistaken, possibly a limited comic book series too, although I don't remember where I read this...), I think I just want to be able to later have fun comparing and remembering what I inferred/speculated/created regarding the TRON universe when information was scarce...

From this point on I will try and update the CUTT, that is, the 'Completely Unofficial TRON Timeline' to version 2.0 in some cool and interesting ways... that, of course, will require some time and an awful amount of work in Flash...

...I'll keep you posted.

It's more official than official my fellow programs... The events in the TRON 2.0 video game have been effectively retconned by the latest events in the FLYNN LIVES ARG... mainly, IGN's interview with Alan Bradley and ENCOM's 'press conference' in which none other than Mrs. Lora Bradley made an appearance...

I'll start a new timeline/chronology in the coming weeks that only takes into account the events in the movies and those events intended to explain the 'gap' between the movies (TRON: Evolution video game and other upcoming media).

As stated before, the unofficial timeline/chonology in this thread will be left 'as is' for archival purposes.

Just to let everyone know that another "official" chronology that again contradicts some of the things that were "officially" established before (as in the TRON 2.0 videogame, the encominternational.com website, etc.) now exist at the new TRON official website at http://disney.go.com/tron/index_flash.html#/chronology
EDIT: I dunno who edited this new "official" chronology but it has errors... for instance, there's no way Flynn and Lora finished up their relationship BEFORE Flynn buys the arcade (according to HomeOfTron.com, the date of the opening of FLYNN'S arcade is June 3rd, 1981), simply because, in the movie, Lora tells Alan something along the lines of "it's been a while since the last time I was here".

Interesting read nonetheless...

For instance, What is the Shaddox platform and the "albino cow" Flynn sighting? (the latter, originally established in the FLYNN LIVES ARG by the way, so it's obvious there are some contradictions between the time line at the ENCOM International website and this new chronology).abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Wait... Gibbs wrote the MCP?

Am I misremembering details from the first film?abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

VRAM Wrote:One of the things 'stated' by this new chronology... The problem is not that Gibbs programmed the MCP too, the problem is there's no mention of Dillinger co-programming it too...

In the last couple of years I've purged my memory of some Tron details... Was there specific mention in the film that Gibbs wrote the MCP, even with Dillinger? I seem to recall only a mention that Dillinger wrote the MCP. Yeah, they could retcon it. But... why?

If Gibbs co-wrote the MCP, he should have been more aware of what was transpiring when the MCP started usurping power. In the first film, Gibbs came across more like an engineer than a programmer.

VRAM Wrote:If one's to be a TRON 'rigorist' or 'purist', the answer is no. There's no specific mention of Dr. Gibbs programming the MCP in the movie. However, it's acceptable and logical to think Dr. Gibbs participated to some degree in the development of the MCP. I agree with you that Dr. Gibbs should've had a more 'trascendental' role in the movie if in fact he had programmed the MCP, but it's obvious that his DUMONT program was by far his greatest 'programming' contribution to ENCOM. When the MCP gets erased, we see the face of another that surely was the original 'core code' programmer of the MCP, that "chess" program, if you will... Then, we can infer that at some point Mr. Dillinger took over as an MCP Project Leader or somethin like that because he DO state in the movie that he programmed the MCP. Now, check this out... One of the orbs in the new light cycle game in the new TRON flash site states that Kevin Flynn at one time programmed the MCP too giving it it's distictive AI attributes or something like that...

That orb said that Flynn programmed the MCP to play chess, thus giving it the beginning AI it grew off of. I'd say that sounds pretty legit, seeing as to how they used to spend time playing chess together and all.

I was under the impression that Dillenger stole someone's chess program and made the MCP using the stolen chess program's code as a base.

Of course, that might have been in Tron 2.0, been too long since I played it last to remember.

Sorry about the late late reply guys...

TRON.dll,

the short answer is NO. There's no mention of Dillinger stealing the MCP's code in TRON 2.0... It's not been that long for me since the last time I played it and I kinda documented all the dialog in the game, believe me.


LurkingHorror,

I utterly and completely agree with you. My main problem is this: How many more 'arbitrary' changes like the aformentioned ones are we still gonna get that affect what's been "officially" established in the original TRON movie?

Now that our beloved TRON "world" is expanding in other media, I'm afraid this thread is becoming one that is trying to "play cop"... It's not what I originally intended for it.

It's a fact every fictional work that's being expanded itself thanks to the vision of more than one author will sooner or later run through some continuity problems. Call it a "user problem", a "human interface error", whatever you will... To err is in our human nature and no fictional franchise is free from this. Not even Star Wars. But there are things we CAN do to correct these inconsistencies...

As some of you may know, the Holocron continuity database is a database developed and used internally by Lucas Licensing to keep track of all of the fictional elements created for the Star Wars universe, and contains elements from nearly every officially sanctioned Star Wars source. It's far from perfect, but sure helps keeping it from going into the sea of simulation and just look at the size of that tank...


I'M ASKING FOR HELP FROM THIS COMMUNITY to keep track of every TRON-related material (fictional elements included, of course) that's coming out in the coming months/years and create our very own TRON continuity database.

This is a 'call out for papers' if you will where anyone can submit whatever tidbit of info you find regarding the TRON universe and help expand the "unofficial" chronology and timeline... Remember it's very important to name the exact source you learn it from...


I'll need help with the following:
