That’s been a huge topic of discussion surrounding the Voltron tie-in book, The Paladin’s Handbook. Purporting to be a “guide” to Dreamworks’ Voltron Legendary Defender, fans are already debating whether certain details about the characters within are canonical to the series or not. While that may sound like it’s all canon, Montgomery points out that some of the material in the bible has “evolved a little organically through the process. Not everything is 100% still exactly the same but I don’t think there’s anything that is super far off.” So does that mean details like Keith’s birthday, that was given in the book, sharing the same date as Glenn’s death in The Walking Dead (Steven Yeun plays both parts) was unintentional? Montgomery says it was probably not intentional. Montgomery joyfully points out, “it is probably 100% intentional that Lance’s birthday is the same as (writer) Mitch Iverson’s birthday.” Dos Santos regrets they don’t have time to check every piece of merchandise for the show but they want to focus their attention on, “making sure the show is as good as it can be. We have to be real judicious about where our time’s spent. Stuff might slip through cracks and if it does I’m sure we can answer that question at a panel or something.” Read and download the full Den of Geek Special Edition magazine here!
