    Continued Notes! by Cilghal

    Dagobah: galla seeds, sohli bark, yarum seeds, parasitic blackvine, paludial fungi aka "yoghurt plants", rootleaf stew, flower petal salads, non-venomous vine snakes, silver-nape beetles, swamp squash, stickle tree

    gimer twig chewing releases a "natural anesthetic"

    Tatooine: "double-headed Cane Adiss" seems to be much larger than a humanoid!; blood-sucking worms, predatory rock-burrowing worms, tentacled prisoner from ROTJ has at least 4 tentacle arms and at least 3 eyes

    Endor: tree palm, mattberries, orchids, Lake Sui Ewok stilt villages, Endorian ponies introduced by human scouting parties, C-3PO actually speaks related Yuzzum language when conversing with Ewoks (Yuzzum populations have been established off-Endor)

    Death Star II--over 900 km diameter, Emperor Palpatine called "Darth Sidious" (in case anyone still has doubts!!!!), reference to Emperor's long-time follower Moff Panaka (the Good Captain gone bad?!?!)

    Executor--"almost 12 times as lon" as ISD; Star Cruisers and Star Dreadnaughts established as ship classification larger than Star Destroyers (the former including small SSDs and the latter including large SSDs such as the Executor-class) and Executor-class reconfirmed as name (ala BFC); Executor's shield destruction attributed to massed firepower of Rebel fleet; A-wing said to destroy bridge once shields disabled; tower spheres labeled as sensory in function with "local-area" shield projectors on them.
    The Executor material is, of course, highly contraversial, but there is a separate thread on it, so go there if you want to rant--let's keep this thread free of the Executor controversy! PLEASE!

    Interesting quotes:

    "Yoda's craft may have gone to ground here." (Dagobah section)
    Indicate's Yoda comes to Dagobah in a ship of his own. The Yoda's House section indicates he cannibalized the ship's parts in constructing his hovel! A real one-way trip!

    "Yoda lives the life he might have lead had he not become a Jedi." (Yoda's House section)
    May indicate Yoda's race are technologically primitive hut-dwellers on a swampy world not unlike Dagobah?????

    The Gallofree transport still doesn't have a name. That's just a manufacturer, and an ID sig.

    Neither does the Naboo fighter. It's like saying T-65 every time instead of X-wing!
