Some ST-One Canon thoughts. 1. Mon Calamari completed seceded from the New Republic in response to the formation of the First Order. Not just remaining a member and speaking out, full blown secession. 2. The New Jedi Order moved back to Ossus shortly after the events of Sword of the Jedi. 3. The Ossus Project repaired the more recent damage to Ossus, rather than the damage caused by the Cron Supernova. 4. The Chancellor of the New Republic, Villecham, had to actively reign in the New Republic Supreme Commander, Garm Bel Iblis, and recalled the majority of the federal fleets to Hosnian Prime, including the Viscount, Harbinger and Guardian. 5. The Confederation largely joined the First Order, save for the Hutts. 6. Bastion did not join the First Order, remaining isolated and protected by the Megador and the Turbulent-class Star Destroyers, defended by Jagged and his Empire of the Hand. 7. The Gilad Pellaeon was a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer (possibly). 8. Jagged became leader of the Empire of the Hand after Alema Rar was killed; the survivors contacted him after his honour was restored, drawing parallels between his exile and Thrawn's exile, and encouraged by his appointment as Imperial Head of State. 9. The Chancellor of the New Republic between Cal Omas and Villecham was probably Ponc Gavrisom, or maybe even Hera Syndulla, until I am proven wrong. 10. The Galactic Alliance Federal Fleets that did not belong to the New Republic scattered to the Planetary Security Forces, building those back up in the wake of the Yuuzhan Vong and GA-Confederate Wars, as they had been largely decimated by those two conflicts. At one point the PSF's included the 2700 Star Destroyers/Cruisers mothballed by the New Republic after the Galactic Concordance, a year after the death of Emperor Palpatine at Onderon. 11. Ackbar had the Mon Calamari work on various 'prototype' MC95 variants, which we see at the Battle of Exegol. These prototypes bypassed the Galactic Concordance as display models, and were sold to various planets. 12. The Cold War between the First Order and Resistance began six years before the Hosnian Cataclysm, but Ackbar led it in absence of Leia during the events of the Dark Nest Crisis and GA-Confederation War. The Insiders and Rebel veterans formed the nucleus of the Resistance, while she focused on the more immediate threats and became a Jedi Knight in her own right (again), as her training had lapsed. 13. The Galactic Alliance was completely invalidated as a galactic power by Darth Caedus. Daala was the last chance for it to work, and after the Remnant and Hapans did not rejoin, the New Republic had no reason to continue on as a member of it. 14. The Megador-class became the Mega-class; the Megador was the prototype for the line that would include the Supremacy.
You never give up, @Sinrebirth. I admire you for that. I sadly can’t believe in the One Canon anymore. I’ve come to see the EU as a wonderful, self-contained, completed universe. To me the New Canon is a second, parallel universe where all the characters and planets take other paths. For me, this makes the GFFA richer, where reality is like a river that splits off into many parallel tributaries. In one reality, the Empire burned down within a year of Endor. In another, it divided into many rival warlord factions. In one galaxy, the Jedi never truly rose after Endor. In another, Luke Skywalker rebuilt the Order and passed on what he had learned. In one reality, Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc and was saved by Dengar and in another, he broke free only to become a prisoner of the Tuskens. I see this as a fundamental divergence of paths where the character makes a decision or undergoes a trial that shapes their future. One Boba Fett becomes the Daimyo and moves past his bounty hunter days to embrace a more fulfilling life. The other one stays a cold-blooded killer and doesn’t find true fulfillment for decades to come.
@Vialco Just wait for "The Book of Boba Fett" Season 23, when Boba becomes the Major of Sernpidal! It all converges on Sernpidal! Major Fett will save Chewbacca and have his Cyborgsurgeon fix him up so that he is ready for TFA after he met Han again. As for Dengar, Legends already had several repeated falls into the pit and Dengar may be one of the first escapes with TBOBF the last. The timeline adds up better anyway if he did not stay for years with the Tusken or in the Sarlacc. The Empire's collapse depends on pov... for some it fell sooner, for others later, depending if you count Warlords as Empire, or terrorists. Luke's Jedi, well... too few to count as an order of galactic importance yet and even Legends had them purged several times with varying results. And if the Jedi can be in hiding or busy on missions and offscreen in KOTOR 2 and back in full afterwards, well precedence. Canon is just Legends from a different pov filling in the missing pieces.
Headcanons: 1) Tor Valum is 7000 years old and was born during the Hundred Year Darkness. Tor Valum was a hybrid created through dark science and strandcasting. Parts of his genetic makeup include Zeffo, Neti, as well as the Oracle's parasitic species. Maybe even others less evident in the outside look of him. The Sith created him attempting to merge the qualities of these species, longlivety in the millennia, naturaly high Forcepotential and forsight as well as other benefits they hoped to unify into a Master Race they could bodyhop into. The experiment failed though and not all qualities were evident in the final creature. Still a remarkable hybrid, they kept him around as a teacher and Lorekeeper, especially after he was rooted into place like a Neti tree on Remnicore. That though had not been the plan and was more the result of a battle forced on them by their enemies. This though would add an interesting angle to how the Sith got Zeffo genomes and if/when the pre-7000BBY Sith ever met the Zeffo before their fall when they were still on Dathomir. 2) The Ahra Naffi Species created the Qonet species who in return created the Quella species. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ahra_Naffi https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Qonet https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Qella The Teljkon Vagabond's grown biotechnology is akin to Yuuzhan Vong one as it was grown from all kinds of species of Brath Quella. But with peaceful and harmonic intend rather than the pain of the Vong biotech and culture. But given the few Art depictions we have of it, I kinda headcanon that the Vagabonds interior and technology is rather H.R.Giger in style, but in less dark color and theme. It looks like technology but is biology so to speak. Therefore I headcanon that the GFFA Xenomorphs we see in X-Wing comics as a fun cameo may actually be related to Quella/Teljkon Vagabond culture and biotechnology. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Teljkon_Vagabond What if the Xenomorphs are the Qonet species, with the Ahra Naffi species being the Engineers? Or the Xenomorphs were on Brath Quella and became an integral part in the Vagabonds biotechnology as the Quella somehow mastered to control or pacify them to the point of intelligent Xenomorph citizens in the GFFA?
In both Legends and New Canon Anakin is not the Chosen One since Palpatine survives and there is still Dark Side users in the Galaxy there is not a true Chosen One anyone can interpret who is the real Chosen One Luke Skywalker, Cade Skywalker, Ania Solo or Rey
I feel like there's actually multiple Chosen Ones. They're not necessarily the most powerful Force user of their time, but events transpire such that their decisions and actions become pivotal in a moment of crisis, and they can tip the galaxy towards either light or darkness. So going by this, Chosen Ones would include Luke, Anakin, Revan, Ulic Qel-Droma, and maybe Jacen Solo.
I already made a joke theory that Grogu might be the or one of Chosen One(s), but i also think it's possible that he really is for the right reasons. 1. Born from a almost mythological species, we don't even know the name of, with a extremely strong connection to the force. 2. Most likely neither becoming a jedi nor sith. 3. Possibly being able to use the dark side, without becoming corrupted by it.
I head canon Tor Valum as a zeffo birthed xenmorph hybrid myself (but thats mainly cause of the fan comic of duel of fates making him look like one ) as for your other part doesn't SE say the Engineers have Mala as one of their planets
The New Separatist Union commanded the eight sectors around Mustafar that held out after the Clone Wars. The Confederacy of Corporate Systems was an alliance between D’Astan family, Serenno and the Corporate Sector. The Sovereign Latitudes were based in the southern Core/Wild Space. The Commonality was founded in 2000 BBY. The Antemeridian Sector actually remained independent, but disarmed, after the Galactic Civil War. Gyndine was an Imperial fortress world that joined the New Republic after the Battle of Anx Minor. The Imperial Remnant Head of State between Pellaeon’s two reigns was Saretti, who retired for Pellaeon’s return, and Moff Garetter replaced him. He was personally loyal to Jagged Fel, but the surviving Moffs resisted anymore appointments or they would be required to listen to Daala’s requirements for female Moffs. Moff Quillan remained a member of the Moff Council for over 20 years, ruling the Carrion Sector.
That's a long time to hold out against the New Republic, surrounded on all sides by hostiles. Gyndine's long-held Imperial loyalties make the NRDF abandoning it to the Vong eight years after it's defection much more understandable.
Bingo. It would have been a good point to hold the line I imagine otherwise. Fortress world, shipyards, 30 warships…
Suugan Essena was a song created on Dromund Kaas, in the centuries after the defeat of the Sith Empire and the genocide on the Sith species and descibed the rise of Naga Sadow and the events of the Great Hyperspace War.
The Outer Rim was a lot more balkanized than we think often about. The Imperial Remnant, Cassander Sectors, the Corporate Sector, Mandalorian Space, the Commonality, the Tion Cluster, the Centrality, Hutt Space, the Senex-Juvex Sectors, the New Separatist Union (if based around Mustafar etc), the Serenno Lords, the Sesswenna Sector post-Dark Empire, the Protectorate post-Dark Empire, the Antemeridian Sector post-Death Seed Crisis, the Meridian Sector due to Daala's secret rump state, let alone the Unknown Regions including a dozen kingdoms. I don't think we appreciate, after the Mid Rim, just how messy it is out there. Central governmental control is basically theoretical unless it's Imperial heavy-handiness outside the major hyperlanes.
Star Wars really is feudel space adventure... if lordships arn't touring their lands with an army to collect taxes and conscripts, nobody would listen to them. The FO made it obvious and apparent, but all previous governments arn't much different, they just don't admit it pretending there is no slavery and everyone obeys.
As a "good luck charm" for the coming Battle of Anx Minor, Pellaeon had Imperial Remnant forces seize his old flagship Chimaera at Gravlex Med, the New Republic's nearby foothold in Anx space.
The Sloane-Veers plan from the Templen Institute reimagined war was actually used between TFA and TLJ.
A very nice headcanon and likely true. Sadly the Chimaera’s return seems to bring bad luck rather than good. That lucky strike against the Rakehell’s antimatter reservoir was what turned the tide against the Imperials at Anx Minor. That one attack cost them a Dreadnought and six Star Destroyers, not to mention severely damaging their two remaining Dreadnoughts. With so much vital hardware lost in a single battle, the Remnant was in a sad state two years later. Their one shipyard was already overwhelmed and repairing Megador and Dominion would have been a high priority.
Apologies to everyone for my absence; I had to go to the ER last week for dehydration and severe abdominal pain that turned out to be a symptom of a kidney stone, and I've been spending a lot of time downstairs (where there's no computer) becuase of the heat in my bedroom during the daytime. Very sorry for taking so long to respond to this; I forgot to respond when you originally asked the question and kept forgetting afterwards, my bad. The Rakata, in a general sense, where the Bablyonians of SW; an ancient empire from the dawn of civilization that was demonized (albiet justly so, in the case of the Rakata) by later civilizations. The Sith would be the Egyptians, the ancient Hutt Empire Persia, the Tionese Greece (at least in Legends), the Republic Rome and the Mandalorians the Huns. I'd actually think of the Flesh Raiders as the Jaffa and the Force Hounds as more akin to Ashraks. Every time I see Sin take a deep dive with trying to make two increasingly different continuities mesh 100 percent I don't know whether to be impressed or baffled, lol. Personally I just perfer to cherry pick specific elements from Legends that can work with canon and headcanon them in; I'm willing make rationalizations in order to make some things fit, but unlike Sin I have my limits! At least in canon, though, he *did* restore balance to the Force; that's really all being the "Chosen One" entailed. I'm increasingly a fan of this concept; different Chosen Ones at different times, "empowered" and driven by the Force at different times for different reasons, some of whom came through and restored the balance and others who failed. Though my list would be a little different then yours... No Ulic, Luke, Jacen or Revan. Anakin (obviously) Rey Meetra Surik (assuming a light side ending for KOTOR 2) The Hero of Tython (presuming they are also also the Outlander) Cade Skywalker Allana ("throne of balance", remember?) The New Separatist Union checking in on Vader... Canonically, this is supported somewhat by the only solid territorial map we have for the post-Endor era. The blank parts of the map leave a lot of room for other powers and independent systems; obviously there's the Hutts, the Chiss and the CSA, but also the emergent powers mentioned in Aftermath, smaller powers like the Tapani, the Tionese, the Ssi-Ruuk and the Senex-Juvex, as well as Imperial sucessor states besides the FO (notably the map allows for the existence of the Eriadu Authority, the Ciutric Hegemony, Deep Core states and even the Pentastar Alignment*) Interestingly the map would seem to indicate that Mandalorian Space and the Hapes Cluster are in NR territory (though as space is 3d that could easily be independent regions that are "above" or "below" the flat plane shown. *though given certain references in various canon sources, I'd lean towards the lattermost power not existing in canon but instead having some of it's territory and political aspects merged with the FO); my personal headcanon is at least some of their Legends territory belonged to that of the Imperial hardliners who refused to adhere to the Galactic Concordance (as they later joined the FO and the FO's territory is localized in the vacinity of the PA), with Moff Randd operating in place of Ardus Kaine. It's really a shame for Pellaeon that Devian managed to kill Feena; the best case for the Empire* would have been peace in 13 ABY (when they had all the territory of the Pentastar Alignment plus some, three SSDs and still had the economic and military power to match the NR) and that seemed to have a geniune chance of working out. *barring Admiral Oxtroe's scheme (I wonder what happened to Pallopides? Killed by Thrawn or the reborn Palpatine? Elsewise one has to wonder why she was never enthroned by the remnant as a puppet monarch to give them legitimacy).
I always saw the Megador as a bit of a small fish - only 'five times as powerful' as an ISD, yet with 16 engines? Seems really scaled down. Figured it might have been a refit old Mandator. The MC95 I headcanon as a new design circa 27/28 ABY, possibly in response to the shortcomings of the Mediator class in some engagements. First significantly deployed at Ebaq 9, then mass produced in many variants. Length somewhere between 1.28 and 2.33 km (4/5 a Resurgent size) and modelled closely on Home One - so a good combination of new with tried and tested technology. The period from Dark Nest to Hosnian would potentially be some of the hardest to connect up, in some regards, quite apart from juggling character ages (don't forget Ben Skywalker - either 14 or younger by LOTF) and where Bloodline fits in with it. Re-reading The Joiner Queen now, there's always been some odd bits about it - like the whole 'designer of the Intellex IV' subplot, that flew in the face of the prequels, on first impressions. It's also where the GA first really becomes a distinct thing, the Jedi start to come apart, and where loose ends potentially further springboard off. The Confederation seems like it might contain a fair number of Populists, but widespread distrust could drive many of them away from anything related to the NR after the war. At very least, some might become independent regions, and possibly fail to mutually defend each other. As for chancellors, it depends how much of a gap there has to be between Omas' death, the exact circumstances, Villecham's terms, and so on. For earlier chancellors, Leia would have to fill in the remainder of Mon Mothma's term circa 12 ABY, during her time of illness, and perhaps give it up following the Almania crisis (perhaps moved back a bit in time) Bel Iblis could have been Chief of State following Mothma's later illness, or maybe much longer after Gavrisom. Sadly, no Lando for CoS, in either timeline...
@Chrissonofpear2 I consider the New Republic a member of the GA, so their respective internal politics don’t affect either. Bloodline ends up firmly pre-DNT for me.
In RotJ when Vader threw Palpatine down the shaft to kill him, and he turned into cackling blue energy, he did not teleport ro Exegol or a servant to take his essence there. The Emperor knew, he needed either Skywalker to kill him so he could bodyhop into him. Luke refused, but Vader killed Sheev to save Luke. Thus as per ritual Sheev could bodyhop into Vader. Vader knew this, feared it but saved Luke anyway. Afterwards, externally weakenes from the duel with Luke beforehand, he fought on a mindbattle against Palpatines invading spirit unbeknownst to Luke. Knowing he might loose his body to the Emperor he wanted to see Luke one last time with his own eyes and die to take the Emperor with him into the Afterlife of the Force. ... On Exegol though, a clone awoke without the original soul and cultists tried via ritual to get the soul back from hell... But instead of Palpatine, what returned to the broken body unable to contain more than a mortal ever should be able to.. was more. All the Sith tried to return into this one opportunity of a new Life and body. He literally was all the Sith souls in constant mindbattles for decisional dominance. Their energy tearing even the best Strandcast clone bodies to shreds within no time so he had to rely on strings and proxy Snokes. Gesendet von meinem FP3 mit Tapatalk
Is'nt it that you need to commit the killing in anger for the transferance to work? Vader, presumably, was not acting out of anger when he killed Palpatine, but rather selfless love for his son. Hence why it did not work. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure "all the Sith" is not supposed to be taken literally.
A 'one canon' style headcanon that I can't believe never occurred to me before: the Sith Eternal found the third Star Forge. That's how they built such a giant fleet from one planet in only a few decades. Or an alternative, somewhat more far-fetched notion, spoilered because I'm not bothering to look anything up about its plausibility: Spoiler The Rakata actually based the Forges in the first place on the technology of an even older civilization - specifically, the one that was the source of the Tho Yor monoliths - and it was the monolith on Exegol that actually built the armada. It does have lights on the sides that make it look explicitly technological, not just a giant piece of Sith sculpting.
Geode's species will, like Neti, in later stage of life, root himself to a planet and become immobile. Still liking adventure though, he will weep all the time and be henceforth known as the crying Mountain on Endor. There is only one alternative to rooting for his species. As they grow with age, upon becoming mountainsized or larger when rooting is imminent, he can opt to root himself to a giant Kyber instead of a planetary crust. The Kyber provides enough energy and "Force" so he can remain mobile by becoming literally a Tho Yor, often crafted and used by other ancient species as gigantic space arc like vessels. At any point though or latest when the Kyber is destroyed or depleted, he has to return planetside and bury into the crust, like Exegol's Temple Monolith, those of Tyhton, or elsewhere. Usually burrying over or near Kyber veins in the crust to attempt to crack it and obtain a new Kyber to bond to. If it fails, he remains stuck though.
I honestly don't think Tilotny would care enough - or even have the perception of reality necessery - to be a godess specifically associated with generosity; the Daughter on the other hand is the living manifestation of the Light Side of the Force, so is already associated with that aspect from the start. (on a headcanon level it works even better works as well, since in my "shared universe" headcanon the Daughter is Gaia and is the mother of the Olympians with Kronos, and Gaia was the projenitor of all life to the Greeks and was worshipped as a giver of gifts by some cults) According to the Vader comics "hundreds" of the Xystons were already built/mostly builty before the Battle of Endor, and Palpatine had thirty one years after that point and the resources of an entire planet plus the resources of the FO to finish the ships; he did'nt need a Star Forge to built that fleet.
