Great comic IMO

 

It's 80 years between Crucible and the end of the Sith Imperial War. That's a long investigation. And the Jedi do know where Korriban is.

Either Luke only pursued Krayt half heartedly or the Sith were incredibly good at hiding.

I suspect the Keshiri Sith were gone by 60 ABY at the latest.

 

I find it especially odd considering how far Luke went to take down Jacen or even random dark Jedi, but then let the dark man slip away.
Though given that his ghost appears in Legacy not as an old man but around the age he had during the later books it could be possible that he died shortly after Crucible and the search ended with his death.
Or maybe Krayt used some sort of a decoy posing as the dark man to be killed by the Jedi, so they thought the threat was over and stopped searching.

 

Perhaps or maybe Krayt ordered one of his underlings to sacrifice himself as a patsy so the Jedi would stop looking.

 

It's clearly to set up the inevitable Ren and Stimpy crossover we've all been waiting for.

 

How would everyone here rate the Legends galaxy in the year 140 ABY on the Kardashev scale?

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

Its a fairly widely used concept in sci fi.

 

I'd rate the GFFA at least partially Tier 1 on the Forerunner scale.

 

Yeah I'd say they're just type I. Most of the technological advancements in Star Wars are Mariah martial in nature, which doesn't do much​ to increase it's rating on a scale measured like that.

Like what you did here?

 

TV Tropes places it as High Type II/Low Type III - but that's mostly based on Saxton's figures from his contributions to Inside The Worlds and similar books.

Borderline Type III: power use roughly equivalent to a galaxy's luminosity. 1 E 36 W


The Galactic Republic/Empire of Star Wars, a galaxy-spanning society with very fast FTL and (depending on the source) at least a million heavily developed planets, is a very high Type II, and in the process of achieving Type III.

• Star Destroyers, given their very impressive planetary-bombardment capabilities, may generate as much power as stars, and almost certainly generate more power than the Earth has generated to date — and they're big for a starship in the setting, but not ridiculous.
• The Executor-class Star Dreadnought has a power core that puts out the same energy as a class G star. Regular old Star Destroyers are said to exceed the total energy consumption of some planetary civilizations over their entire history (potentially hundreds of thousands of years in Star Wars) when they jump to hyperspace.
• See http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Superlaser for details on the Death Star's power output, possibly as high as 1038W. The first Death Star charged up for a planet-buster in about a day, which would give its power core a sustained output of around 3 million of our Suns. And the second one charged in a couple hours - granted, it only charges up enough to blow up a few capital ships.
• Starkiller Base actually consumes stars in order to power its main weapon, which is capable of destroying multiple planets with a single shot from across the galaxy! According to supplementary materials, the stellar mass it utilizes is nothing more than a catalyst for an esoteric reaction that allows it to concentrate Dark Energy and produce something called "Phantom Energy" which can be tunneled through "sub-hyperspace". As awesome as it is, it is still only a single installation belonging to the First Order!

 

Hobbie is all smashed up and dead in the new canon, as per his cut ESB death scene

http://eleven-thirtyeight.com/2017/07/on-the-front-lines-an-interview-with-dan-wallace/

The death of Hobbie at the Battle of Hoth caught a lot of fans of the old Expanded Universe by surprise. Can you explain the thought process behind this decision?
Yeah. Hobbie, AKA snowspeeder pilot Rogue Four from The Empire Strikes Back, is the subject of the “in memoriam” feature for the Battle of Hoth, which we called “Tales of Valor.” For fans of the old Expanded Universe, Hobbie was one of the stars of the X-Wingbook series which took place long after the Battle of Hoth, so obviously Hobbie must have survived the battle. I love that Hobbie. He has a great rapport with Wedge and is basically the glue that keeps Rogue Squadron together.
But there’s another bit of Hobbie lore, which is that the character was originally scripted to die in The Empire Strikes Back by crashing his snowspeeder into the head of the lead AT-AT. This scene survives in the script and was drawn up as an animatic sequence, and on YouTube you can find the footage that was filmed of the AT-AT cockpit crew throwing their arms up in terror before the impact.

Back in October 2015, when we were still finalizing the outline, Hobbie’s death was brought up by the Lucasfilm Story Group during a round of notes. They pointed to the cut scene from Empire, and I subsequently revised the outline to give Hobbie an appropriate “medal of honor” sendoff.

My understanding at the time was that under the new canon, the cut scene from Empire took precedence over the Legends novels.

Because On The Front Lines might be the first Star Wars source to make Hobbie’s death explicit, I want to point out that in no way is this a case of “killing off Hobbie in a reference book.” My interpretation of Lucasfilm’s stance—and note that I’m in no way qualified to speak for the Story Group, so apply all available disclaimers here—is that Hobbie was ALREADY killed off in Empire, so reference books need to reflect that fact moving forward.
In the new canon, major character deaths don’t happen without a major story behind them. My little reference book is NOT that story. Empire is that story.

But I’m still sorry about Hobbie.

 

WOW, that was painful. One my favorite characters in the X-Wing Series.

 

Jango isn't a Mando- now Hobbie isn't alive. Why? Why must these things happen? This seems like going against the status quo for the heck of it. Some things shouldn't change. Pretty soon General Veers' death will be canonized. I'm calling it.

 

Maul's origin was really where the clone wars screwed up badly. Was he born on Iridonia? Was he a night brother? He had a brother?

They made his backstory ridiculously convoluted.

I wasn't a fan of that at all.

 

Bringing him back was fanfiction level. It was sad Maul never got enough attention- but it was far too late.

 

I think bringing him back in the clone wars was pretty meh.

But I like what they did with him once he was back.

 

I'm just feeling bad for Asajj.

 

I didn't like him being brought back period.

It was unnecessary, stupid, and creatively bankrupt.

But I suppose that's my opinion.

 

The guy got cut in half. And then he got Palpatine!dropped into a huge bottomless hole.
Can it get more ridiculous?
I mean, how can he even, I don't know, push?
