AdmiralWesJanson posted:It's no different from Luke puppeteering Jacen in JAT... It's not like they planned to more than fight and leave. Palpodious planned to set up shop in Anakin Solo, not help him out in a duel.
danielc56 posted:Awhile back I started a thread trying to get more info on the origin of Vader's suit. It's appearance out-of-the-blue in Ep. III was a little disappointing. There doesn't seem to be much info tying it in with the rest of the EU. Maybe your Vader's Legacy article would be a place to tie it in a little better with the rest of the Star Wars universe... ...or it would be a great excuse for still another Abel/Joe collaboration

Rogue_Follower posted:Probably cause its an early version of the suit. Vader probably moded it after that little incident.
TalonCard posted:Let us not forget that Star Wars is a space opera with the trappings of a 1930's movie serial. Some things are high tech, others decidedly not.
Lord_Hydronium posted:Sweet! I like it when decidedly non-canon stuff gets references, like the Skippy one in Droids and the Force. It's the Star Wars equivalent of a crossover.
Rogue_Follower posted:Though he could be related to the Jedi Shon Kon Ray or Han Solo. Also, his whip and hat (and the Ark) are seen in the Space Station Scardia.

Rogue_Follower posted:Any hint on the web enhancement?
Rogue_Follower posted:'Cause there are some pretty interesting obscure sources dealing with him that need references. Particuarly him fighting Luke over a Sith Amulet in Yoda Stories (which could possibly be connected to his indestructable Mandalorian crushgaunt... a legacy of his, right? ) Also, various boss beasts first appearing to be him in the Namco Star Wars game, and his legendary ("Vader... with a Gun!?!") gun from Empire Strikes Back for NES, Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire, and the old Kenner toy line.
Lord_Hydronium posted:Halagad_Ventor posted:The psychadelic retreat Luke uses in Before the Storm. Again, just because it's not in the Insider piece, don't count it out. Sounds neat. Darn it, I have enough to do; don't go giving me more of an interest to want to read the BFC!

Ive_Got_Two_Legs posted:Is the article going to cover how in Dark Lord, Palpatine says that there's only one true Sith holocron and that the rest are fakes made to fool the Jedi?
AdmiralWesJanson posted:Is the thrawn Trilogy ever officially referred to as such? My copies are not labeled as a trilogy that I can recall. I would have to look to confirm this, though.
