@elonmusk Will Starship need the front canards if Methalox thrusters are used to replace the cold gas thrusters?
Super Heavy likely needs Methalox thrusters for last minute corrections if it is to ever land precisely back on the launch mount, correct?

Yes, otherwise propellant usage for an atmospheric entry would be very high and/or center of mass would need to be very tightly constrained.
Yes, but we’re going to skip that at first to avoid fragging launch pads.
