Some Moff-related headcanons:
Before it was abolished in the Ruusan Reformations, the title of Moff entered Republic use following the integration of Sith Imperial military forces at the end of the Middle Sith Wars.
Many of the Imperial Remnant's Council of Moffs were former members of Hissa's Central Committee of Grand Moffs (very few of whom had a legitimate claim to the "Grand" part of that title).

 

To continue on with my Exegol headcanon, it was used as a temporary base by Roan Fel before retaking Bastion. Given its proximity to the Rhandites and whatever's left of the First Order by then, he doesn't stay there for very long, but the Red Nebula does help in covering up the PSD Jagged Fel and the other parts of the Imperial Fleet that followed him.

To add to this, Trioculus was the only recognized rival to Isard's reign as Galactic Empress as to add legitimacy to the Imperial Remnant. That brief period would be known as the 'Year of Two Emperors'. Additionally alongside Isard/Trioculus and Xandel Carivus, Sate Pestage and Carnor Jax would be recognized as Galactic Emperors. Ars Dangor and Thrawn would be Imperial Regents, a title later used for Natasi Daala, Gilad Pellaeon, Jagged Fel and Vitor Reige, in that order, according to 'official' Fel Imperial history. In Krayt's absence, the title of Regent would be reused by Morlish Veed.

By the time of Roan Fel/Darth Krayt, High Moff is the title used for Cabinet-level Moffs that direct portions of the Imperial Government, replacing the old IIRC/ERC. Moff and Grand Moff is still used for territorial military governors. A High Moff will also hold certain territory, for example the High Moff directing the Imperial Navy will also hold direct rulership over Anaxes and Prefsbelt IV, while the High Moff of Intelligence would be running all Ubiqtorate bases, be they safehouses, space stations or entire planets.

 

Neat analysis, although maybe pitched on the smaller side? Quite apart from the five tactical fleets, that totalled 2,520 vessels at least (by 17 ABY anyway) we also have potentially 1,014 or more sector fleets (barring neutral sectors, I suppose) each with a roster at least a sizeable fraction of an Imperial sector fleet. On the lower end, that might amount to 146,014 ships, potentially, or even to an upper limit of 823,000 plus. Still, I suspect the New Republic, however federalized, favoured a smaller overall force.

We know Nebula class ships are built in only small numbers, at least initially. Sounds like Mediators and MC90s may be more numerous overall, in wide numbers. As for Vong fleets, we know a LOT was deployed at both Coruscant 1 and Coruscant 2/Yuuzhan'tar, and surely a sizeable amount at Black Bantha (1,000 plus ships?) and Ebaq 9. The Vong fleet therefore may be significantly larger, albeit still likely smaller than the NR total forces. They make up for that with 'technological' superiority, initially, however, plus blitzkrieg tactics.

As for the Imperial fleet ponderings in prior posts; I have considerable thoughts on that, to be detailed more fully lately, likely. Suffice to say there must have been dozens of dreadnoughts, probably hundreds of Tectors and Secutors, even at only a limited production run, and at least 6,000 VSDs, assuming production did not fully take off on the same scale of the ISDs. Allegiances start production soon post Yavin, say, perhaps many built in reserve shipyards such as in the Deep Core, and maybe the New Territories? Likely at least 1,000 of them, too. How many were lost to warlord squabbles or stripped down, we cannot yet say.
Once had an idea of NR agents sabotaging hyperdrives and acceleration compensators, for a whole fleet... needless to say, it would be a messy spectacle. Maybe even close to a war crime?

Never thought of a New Hope as a Mandator, but the shear cost in man power to run it (200,000 at least) tends to make me think it's closer to an Invincible or Cal-class ship, not to mention it struggles with an ISD at Milagro? Or was that the Mercy, instead. As for captive ISDs, I like the idea Grey Wolf found it's way back to Thrawn's side, by the time of his main offensive. Also not familiar with the sources of all the names?

And for the 40 possible Mon Cals at Endor, I'd kind of prefer if that included MC40s, EC Henry's Sphaerolana, and other marginal vessels. It's difficult to see the Alliance having more than 60 to 90 MC80s at it's height, so far. Especially with us seeing only two to four each in most of these 'Divisions' in the post ESB comics of late.
Still, no doubt they committed at least half to Endor, for an operation of that magnitude. Despite that Mon Cala, it's colonies, Hosnian and other worlds, seemed to still need protection.

 

Zayne Carrick died in a Lightsaber duel against Malak
Malak was jealous that Zayne and Jarael were together

 

And here I thought that Malak would be grossed out upon learning that Jarael was half a clone of Arca Jeth. Maybe she ended up as Darth Sunshine after all?

 

When Anakin fulfilled the Prophecy in destroying the Sith, it wasn't destroyed in the sense that it was gone forever but that the Sith'ari, who's Palpatine, is gone meaning anyone who declares themself a Sith Lord has no chance at eternal victory. Some inviduals like Lumiya and Darth Krayt hold the belief that the Sith'ari will return when the last Skywalker falls but such thoughts are rooted in superstition, Anakin's sacrifice will never be in vain.

 

In the New Canon universe Rey has higher Midichlorians than Anakin
in the Legends universe Anakin is also not the Force User with the most higher Midichlorians

 

XD

Oh man, that reminds me, I saw it pointed out elsewhere the Pre-Mor corporate headquarters looks a lot like the Spaceballs capital city.

Good question.

Probably just because the laat is more iconic.

 

Inspired by nothing in particular…

In KOTOR, when the player encounters a Rakatan droid for the first time it remarks that it doesn’t recognize Humans as one of the slave races of the Builders. This is weird, because Humans were ubiquitous on worlds within the Infinite Empire, and several near-human races were known to have been slaves to the Rakata.

My idea is that Humans were civilians of the Infinite Empire. Their planets variously held vassal or full membership status, and while Humans were not rewarded the full rights and responsibilities of Rakata they were still above the enslaved races in status, which allowed them to avoid participating in the Builders’ projects.

Most Humans probably had no knowledge of the Star Forge or the secrets of the Hyperdrives, and several Human worlds were not members or in open warfare with the Rakata, but the only reason the Rakatan droid didn’t recognize Humanity in its databanks was because they were uninvolved with the Builders in that role.

 

One headcanon I had in the past is that after Thrawn went missing following the Liberation of Lothal, he actually secretly created the Empire of the Hand in the Unknown Regions. After the Battle of Jakku, Imperial remnants that escaped into the Unknown Regions discovered and joined the Empire of the Hand. However, following Thrawn's death the Empire of the Hand was gradually taken over by Snoke, who renamed it the First Order. It was an idea I came up with to better explain the rise of the First Order, by having its origins actually predate the Battle of Endor as the Empire of the Hand.

 

I like this headcanon! What do you think became of Ezra Bridger? I’m fascinated by that final confrontation in the Chimaera’s bridge and what the aftermath looks like. Hopefully we find out in Ahsoka.

 

I actually did once come up with a headcanon for what happened to Ezra... and someone even made some fan art based on it:

Spoiler

I had an idea where Ezra ended up on Dromund Kaas, where he became maddened by the dark side of the Force until Sabine managed to find and help him. That's basically what I've gone with until we get an official answer.

 

In the Star Wars universe there are characters similar to the Watchers from Marvel
who are in charge of monitoring all the Star Wars Multiverses maybe they use World Between Worlds or something similar and another theory Vitiate wanted to use World Between Worlds to conquer other realities and be the master of the Multiverse

 

The Hapans and the Bakurans both sent fleets to Jakku.

The Zann Consortium considered showing up at Jakku, but Tyber Zann was still waging his private war against the carbonite Sith and so he kept his forces out of the ring.

Being that Jakku is in the Western Reaches, they had to deal with some Ssi-ruuvi piracy in the aftermath of the battle as well.

 

Hmmm...I am torn, because on the one hand I like this idea, but on the other I kind of like the idea of a EotH-FO conflict.

They do seem like perfect candidates, I love it.

Do you imagine the EoH annexing any of the enemies it defeated or is more an alliance of willing members thing?

 

I headcanon that in SW GFFA there exists a species like Doctor Who's Ood. They are unseen, quickly forgotten if encountered and nobody can recall their look or that one even met one of them, no record of them exists but they are essential in some way. Having the power to spy, manipulate and mindtrick people but without nefarious intents. Natural invisibility not to the naked eye, but to the mind, and strangley also to recording devices given the mind and electronics can both be manipulated via electricity/bioelectricity.

Maybe they are called... Bothans?

 

I merge CW and the TCW finales together as one through this retcon: Anakin and Obi-Wan, after hearing about the kidnapping of the Chancellor from Nelvaan (CW), are called off to instead go help in the battle on Yerbana, but then after Ahsoka shows up, they then are called to help (TCW). The weird time-distortion of space aids this. A little clumsy, but the best for now. My timeline follows this.

 

My own headcanon is that the scene where Anakin and Obi-Wan learn of the Chancellor's kidnapping in the CW finale doesn't happen and the Battle of Nelvaan doesn't happen at the same time as the Battle of Coruscant. I like to imagine that their mission to Nelvaan happens shortly before the Battle of Yerbana.

 

In Legends the Jedi Order started to become celibate and forbid attachments during the Exar Kun War in KOTOR 1 Jolee Bindo makes reference that the Jedi are celibate during that time Jolee Bindo fought in the Exar Kun War so at some point during Tales of the Jedi comics the Jedi become celibate

 

It's not like Nomi's husband had been forced to divorce her the moment he began Jedi training. The KOTOR comics do mention that some Jedi Order members are recommending celibacy for the Order, but also that it hasn't become an official requirement Order-wide, yet (the future Malak is the guy talking about it).

I could see some Masters making it a requirement for their Padawans specifically - and that being the source of Jolee Bindo's quote.

 

Nomi Sunrider husband died before the Exar Kun War my theory is that the Jedi Order become celibate during the War and Malak does not seem like a Jedi who likes to follow orders he rebelled against the Jedi to fight in the Mandalorian Wars
