    tbh Kenobi might've just been drinking. He does that.

    "Voren was lying" and "Kenobi was drunk" solves 99% of continuity errors, really.

    Obi-Wan is canonically both a drinker and a liar so really we don't even need Voren.

    Neat.

    Wow, I never heard of a lot of these planets. It is particularly interesting to see a couple of isolated core worlds, especially one with a warring tribal culture. I mean, enough time gets spent on regional stereotypes that it can be easy to forget that every region has a lot of planets with many different cultures, economies, and governments. Still, one can't help but wonder how planets in the Core avoided being swallowed up by the early expansion of the Republic.

    Naw man, Hoole's awesome. He can turn into a giant frog. Voren, however, can only turn into a Tarkin relative.

    Ah, found another one in TCW Episode 4-2, where the Gungans are the only ones at hand to help out the Mon Calamari.

    I've also thought of another reason why the Gungans and the Toydarians are the closest allies to be able to offer assistance to Mon Calamari and Ryloth.

    I still can't buy that the Gungans, who evolved in freshwater, were the best suited candidates to fight in the salty oceans of Dac...​

    BTW, Pablo recently said on Twitter they finally found a location for Lothal during development of Season 3 of Rebels, and that we'll likely find it on a map before too long.

    It will be interesting to see where it is placed. I've always been partial to putting Lothal in the Mid Rim. It is still remote, but not completely remote like the far reaches of the Outer Rim. I've always imagined it in the Truum Sector or Lantillian Sector.

    Wookieepedia puts it in the Outer Rim.

    http://boards.theforce.net/threads/...ography-official-discussion.21938930/page-190

    "Right near Concord Dawn" might work - that spot where the Hydian Way enters the Outer Rim, seems like the perfect combination of "Outer Rim, yet important to the Empire, for its strategic location"

    To be exact, Wookieepedia says that Ultimate Star Wars places it in the Outer Rim. Let us cite primary sources, shall we? (And this comes from a Wookieepedian.)

    I'm pretty sure Iron_Lord knows how to cite. I'm pretty sure that everyone adds 'which cited a primary source thus its on the Wookiee in the first place'...

    Even if the Tulak Hord article is immune to being edited for the most blisteringly obvious reasons in said primary sources.

    I'm definitely excited to see where Lothal (and the Lothal sector in general) is located. Jason Fry and a few people on this forum have speculated that it may be close to Kessel, due to the Lothal rebels rescuing Wookiee slaves there, but I believe those comments were made somewhere around the time of the first season. Given its presumptive proximity to Kessel, Concord Dawn, and maybe Malachor (assuming that their locations are consistent with Legends), we can probably assume it will be somewhere in the galactic "northeast" of the Outer Rim. Still, I'm really looking forward to seeing an exact placement.

    I'm sorry if it came out harsh, I didn't mean it. In fact, I just wanted to point out that citing Wookieepedia as gospel (even as a proxy) is a bad habit that some have displayed in the past, which is one of the many reasons the wikia has earned a bad rep. I'm just being cautious about that. No offence taken, I hope, Iron_lord?
