Lit GENERAL QUESTION THREAD (What to read? Where to start? What's canon? What's not? Duros, etc.)

How do Sullustans put on shirts? Their heads are much bigger then the neck holes on the shirt Nien Numb is wearing...

 

His shirt looks like it does up in the front. So I'd suspect they put their shirts on one arm at a time.

Did someone ever used the term "Star Wars" in universe?

 

What decides whether a thread is stickied nowadays?

This forum has too many stickies...

But...

It also hasn't stickied the two big book releases (Phasma and Leia)... yet has stickied other comics that not nearly as many people are talking about.

 

Ulicus, The2ndQuest ^ ?

 

Was Biggs at Scarif, or on Tatooine as the deleted scenes suggest?

 

Hasn't been established. One of the few Legends things I hope gets changed is that he actually jumps ship between talking to Luke and the Battle of Yavin, as opposed to already being with the Rebellion when he comes back to Tatooine.

Does it really make a ton of sense for Biggs to be a rookie as well as Luke at Yavin?

 

Legends had Biggs as a moderately-rookie Rebel, but a fairly experienced Imperial - he had already flown TIEs in battle by the time he defected. It even had him go on one mission for the Rebellion between jumping ship, and the Battle of Yavin.

 

Those Biggs comics were great. This makes me want to read them again.

 

To this day I still remember that 2-frame scene that went something like "the folks on Commenor made fat jokes about Jek. So he beat the **** outta them." Pretty sure that's exactly how it went.

 

Is there any source that mentions where do these type of last names come from? Skywalker, Fardreamer, Darklighter, Sunrider.

I know the real reason is that they sound 'spacey', but I mean in-universe (other than Alien Exodus -ugh-). Something like the Tattooine settlers coming from a specific place where those names originated or slave families adopting them at some point etc. (btw, no stories on Shmi pre TPM, right?)

I'm a fan of genealogy.

 

At least in Legends, Skywalker was said to be a fairly common last name, so its origins probably lie outside Tatooine.

I'd read a book about Luke Skywalker, Agamari dentist often confused for a certain Jedi Master.

"Admiral Daala, our names are the same, that's all. Totally unrelated."

 

In Legends, how much did Archduke Poggle know about DS1? Like, if it had been finished in the clone wars, could he have made a Geonosian Roving Death Hive?

 

Was the House of Palpatine evil for many generations?

 

Cosinga in Plagueis did not seem like a particularly good man, but I don't think we know anything near enough about the family to generalize beyond that.

 

When the Imperial Senate existed, did Palpatine simply declare whatever laws he wanted or did he find a Senator to introduce legislation for him?

 

I imagine probably the latter.

We know from the books that Palpatine stayed out of public's view most of the time and the day to day running of the Empire was managed by Mas Amedda and others.

I don't think Palpatine cared about the politics once he became the Emperor that much and if he wanted to do something, he probably just did it and didn't bother with laws.

 

Yeah, the Senate probably just rubber stamped everything he wanted in order to keep up appearances. With the completion of the Death Star, Palpatine knew he could abandon even that pretense.

 

The Leia book has a lot of scenes in the Apprentice Legislature, which gives a good idea of how the Senate works. Two of the things they went over were "which of these planets should we stripmine" and "how hard should this planet be punished"

EDIT: missunderstod

 

Am I correct that the Dark Empire endnotes introduced the idea that lightsabers are created using Adegan Crystals and that Adegan Crystals come from Ilum and that Shadows of the Empire introduced synthetic crystals as part of explaining how Luke constructed his lightsaber, but it was Star Wars insider that established that Ilum crystals tend to be blue and green and that the red crystals used by the Sith tend to be synthetic?
