It totally would be cool if Han Solo travelled to Tatooine after the Pyke Syndicate fled the planet with whatever tail it had left between their legs and got to see Boba Fett. Maybe Boba is leading Tatooine up to and including the Battle of Exegol. Maybe Tatooine is a better place under Boba Fett, a former bounty hunter and mercenary trained by a Mandalorian.

 

The Mortis Gods represent the different Multiverses that exist in Star Wars The Father represents the Lucas Universe, The Son represents the New Canon/Disney Universe and The Daughter represents the EU/Legends Universe The Mortis Gods existed in Legends too in Fate of the Jedi they talk about them it is not known if something like World Between Worlds existed in Legends but i think it could have existed too so thats is my personal Canon

 

Hey, I've seen this one!

 

For OneCanon, I headcanon that during the events of the ST, a lot of major EU characters were absent or busy offscreen because of the following concurrent events:

The Imposter Crisis:
-With the revelations Jedi Knight Jaden Korr found about clones and doppelgangers in the Unknown Regions, One Sith shenangians and the Mindspear to bodytransfer people and a growing sense of a deeper threat than Crosscurrent and Riptide revealed, the true scope of this crisis will tie into many open ends. Imposters were a speciality of Abeloth as well as Palpatine.
-After the heavy losses of the NJO, LOTF and FOTJ, the few people in the know become suspicious and find more imposters and clones that already exist inserted into society. Be that with or without mindspear technology used to transfer people as well. Distrust rising, some characters set out to find the true mastermind behind this crisis and thwart the ultimate endgame of the Imposter Crisis, and in the process come close to finding Exegol, its ties between Sith Eternal and the One Sith as well as a closer to finding a means to bring back beloved dead characters, even if their own body had been destroyed. (Cloning + Mindspear etc.)
-This crisis would tie up most of the adult Jedi, tie in the Chiss and Formbi/Thrawn regarding the Unknown Regions shenangians, and have a lot of characters disappear for the ST to take place because of people distrusting each other who is real and who an imposter as well as working behind the scenes to establish a safe space and confirmation method for "real" people.


The Mortis Knights Quest:
-Most of the younger next gen characters and Jedi will be tied up in this paralell plot. The questing Mortis Knights, numbering 10, will be gone for a while, but upon the return of only three of them, with the others fate open or hanging in balance, more will join their cause to find, protect and bring back what they have found. Sinister forces from both Exegol, Korriban and else try to stop them or race them to their goal to find Mortis and likewise places and Tho Yor and technology.
-As this storyline progresses, it also crosses with Abeloth trying to find a hiding place, strengthen herself again and find new sources of power. It will also tie into the Throne of Balance prophecy for Allana. Given Duel of the Fates abandoned Episode IX plans had not only featured Mortis with ST characters, some Duel of the Fates ideas can be integrated in here and maybe cross some ST and Legends characters stories and adventures briefly.
-Ultimately, many Mortis Quest Knights will remain in places they found to guard them forever, Indiana Jones 3 Knight Templar style, and prevent their power to fall into the wrong hands. This ties up and reduces some Jedi numbers offscreen for the ST well, but leaves options for them to return if someone takes their place later on.
-Mortis itself may no longer be the powerful throne it once was as a new trio will emerge and craft or seat a new throne of balance elsewhere, so one can find Mortis but also leave it for the Duel of the Fates events to happen on a deserted Mortis afterwards.
-On Exegol the Sith Eternal are about to unearth a WBW portal but are unable to activate it yet. Some or one or two questing Knights may end up on Exegol and try to protect or seal that portal before any Sith can use it. Their story culminates paralell to the Battle of Exegol deep down in the surface of Exegol.


Abeloth at large:
-A large number of Jedi and Sith are separately investigating her whereabouts and remaining bodies survival, as well as whenever unearthing one, hunting her. Politically the galaxy is shaken up and with Forceusers and their allies focussed on the Imposter Crisis and Mortis Quest, it is no wonder the NR falls prey to Centrist manipulation and almost collapses as most of its protectors are busy elsewhere or gone. Abeloth, too weak to reemerge in style yet keeps a low profile, but is tempted by a new power rising in secret on Exegol rivaling her own. Palpatine, Sidious.
-If she could merge with him, her power would be restored in one go instead of siphoning on Force energy rich places the Mortis Knights drive her off. But the Sith know of her and are on the lookout as well, making it dangerous for her for she could be defeated if she arrives too weak on Exegol. Thus Abeloth needs a diversion to draw Exegol's protectors out and away as well as a power boost just lasting long enough to defeat Palpatine.
-Abeloth will reach Mortis and suck its power out so it is a desolate place for Duel of the Fates. Abeloth will also adopt some bodies of the clones of the Imposter Crisis ultimately, luring the Sith Eternal away from Exegol with imposters of important Jedi and people they fear. It is ironic, she could have defeated Palpatine and prevented the ST's big bad and finale only to ascend in his place. But she was stopped before that happened, and thus indirectly whoever stopped her, gave Palpatine the time and power to rise himself for TROS to happen.
-Who though stopped her just enough so she could crawl away weakened more than even before so it would take a century for her before Allana and her allies could catch up with her? Jaden Korr? Kyle Katarn? Jaina Solo, Sword of the Jedi? Tahiri? Zekk? Raynar Thul? And where was she stopped? On Exegol? Near the WBW portal? Elsewhere? And what did Tor Valum or the Oracle have to do with all these Legends loose ends, for they I would tie in also?
-ultimately though her final doom awaits her later in the Legacy era as I suggested in another topics post, with an old crone Allana and her female Magdalena Force Warrior Nun style Handmaiden Warriors aka Hapan Jedi Order offshoot specially trained to watch out and fight Abeloth whenever she returns.



Of course I would tie in a lot more into this plethora of storypotentials. Vong, too. Chiss and a return/outing of Formbi as Thrawn? The help and return of some Force Ghosts. Maybe someone taking physical form again, as a Mindspear might be able to give a new body to a Forceghost. Anakin Solo's brief return to the living before leaving again to the Netherworld, just to be with Tahiri one more time in physical? (cue Ghost Whoopie Goldberg movie music "Unchained Melody").

The Imposter Crisis can explain how Chewie returned to Han just before the ST happening. The Imposter Crisis may not only give Han back his Chewie, but also help ease how and why he left Leia for a while before reuniting in TFA. He couldn't bear loosing Ben, he was upon learning of imposters no longer sure if Caedus/Jacen was an imposter and the real one is out there waiting to be found, with Chewie back he was not even sure he was real, needed time and investigate himself.

The Mortis Quest and Imposter Crisis can add to Luke's despair on Ach-to and give more reasons for why he is there, what is he guarding there, investigating there, and why is he in exile if not all Jedi are lost or gone? Well, his vision of the future, Ben Solo's fate, all interpreted in the light of imposters, crisis, Sith out and about and clones and Abeloth give a new picture of a hellish future mix of enemies and crisis. Evil never dies after all.

I bet the Fel clones of Thrawn that the Empire of the Hand knew about and Felpire thus too, might come in handy in these crisis as well. As well as other likewise clone settlement pockets of other cloned people. Hey, what if when Kylo mocked Hux that they could go back to using clones instead of kidnapped childsoldiers... that was a hint at the hidden clone army waiting to be raised by a Fel? Lets hope Jagged got to call on to them before any First Order madman might have after it absorbed much of the Empire of the Hand learning that ones secrets.

Maybe the Lightbeam Network oft he Jedi Temple that helped reunite the People Fleet for Exegol aside Lando broadcasting Leia's message and Maz Kanata uniting whoever she could grab in a Smuggler's Alliance. Maybe the Lightbeam Network was helpful to reunite the Jedi that had been spread out and about for the various aforementioned crisis, a final signal to come back and reunite after a KOTOR-2-esque spreading to the winds to seem as if Jedi are no more and disbanded?
And all those characters living both lives, canon and Legends, holding it all together with their knowledge and hope never giving up: Leia, Han, Ackbar, Luke, Wedge, etc. not just fighting one war but several fronts and crisis all at once.

 

Are you saying that Thrawnbi had the Emperor on strings literally and metaphorically in TROS?
Or that he rather goofed up and resurrected his greatest nemesis... which ironically would make sense as he seems to be bored without him. As in true Moriarty / Sherlock Holmes analogy!

Well "I am all the Sith" literally means "I am whoever they mixed up to make me, but here I am!"
So hardly a pure sample if he is a strandcast himself... albeit a successful one.
He genetically was Frankenstein-ed together from all kinds of people.

Just wait for Episode X revealing the uncertainy if Palpatine was truly back or just a puppet on strings for some new/old greater evil. Redeeming Snoke by maybe Snoke being not the tool but the Mastermind and back once more. Lord Shadowspawn / Shadow's Pawn gambit all over!

Regarding how to clone a Forceuser so the clone has the Force, too is a well kept secret. Maybe they jump around with a Snoke in a ship in Mandalorian because Hyperspace is needed as secret ingredient. You need to be outa time and the regular universe to successfully clone a Forceuser? Thus in Hyperspace? Cause whenever you are not and in regular laws of physics, any copy you make will be viewed as a new life the Force either blesses or not with its Midichlorian power. But in Hyperspace... boom direct copypaste. For whatever reasons.

 

I want to update one of my head-canons.

Since I have completely abandoned my plans to rewrite the Prequel Trilogy and the Old Republic, this head-canon must be changed.
I currently accept the Old Republic Era the way it’s portrayed in the already established EU timeline. However I keep the changes regarding the Darth title and red lightsabers. So, every Sith prior to Darth Bane never used the Darth title, and there wasn’t the rule to use a red lightsaber. Both these things came with Bane. That is, everything happened in the same way as in the already established EU timeline, but I imagine the Sith characters without the Darth title and red lightsabers. Therefore, Darth Malgus is just Malgus, Darth Revan is just Revan, etc. The events of the Old Republic are the same as in the old EU, but the aesthetics of the Sith are more similar to the Tales of the Jedi comics. The Sith look from the Prequels was born with Bane and died with Sidious, after which there were no more Sith (as my head-canon universe ends with the NJO). I basically accept every video game, comic and book set in the post-TOTJ Old Republic the way it is, but when someone calls a Sith character “Darth this” or “Darth that”, then I just pretend he never said the “Darth” word, and I also pretend all the Sith use various different lightsaber colors, like in Tales of the Jedi. However, apart from this, the pre-Bane stories don’t change at all.

 

Doesn't make much sense for explaining the state of technology in TOTJ imho, because we saw republic fleets and troops as well as Coruscant.

My headcanon includes the Knight Errant stories and Ronin, but not the Bane stuff, and pretty much has the characters from the latter replace a lot from the former...

• After the events of the Knight Errant novel Daiman wins out over Odion. When Vilia dies around the same time, he asserts himself as the domaint Sith Lord in the Grumani sector and allies with The Ronin in order to unite the Sith under the banner of the Brotherhood of Darkness.
• Coruscant falls to the Brotherhood. Genarra (both the head of the Order, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and the feudal "empress" of the Jedi) is killed, as is much of the Order. A younger and cockier Lord Hoth rallies the surviors and lures the bulk of the Sith into battle on Ruusan.
• After a bloody campaign, Daiman unlesses the Thought Bomb in the crazed belief that it will destroy the universe that he created. He, Hoth and everyone else on Ruusan dies.
• The remaining Jedi and Republic military forces, led by Kerra Holt, free Coruscant from the few remaining Sith, led by Bane. Bane retreats into the Darkness to reform the Order. The Republic re-organizes under Tarsus Valorum.
• Two decades later, Ronin takes place.

The one thing I can't quite figure out is The Elder; I can't figure out if it makes more sense for the Sith in that story to be a survivor of the war whose just really, really old or from him to be an early Banite Dark Lord whose elderly but not rediculously so.

I just assumed that there was a notable leap in technology in the four decades between TOTJ and KOTOR; blasters got more refined, navicomputers were introduced, the Jedi adopted a more standardized manner of dressing that accompanied the centralization of the Order, ect.

Kind of like how in Star Trek you went from this and this to this and this in the same 40 year time progression.

 

If the reason for that assumption is the clone-like armor and vechicals in the comic prequel and the Imperial looking stuff in the Visions episode, I don't include the comic or the episode in my headcanon, just the novel (though I do like the idea that the Clone Army might have drawn insperation from the equipment of that era, which itself obviously would have evolved from the Republic armor and vechicals of the TOR era)

 

The Afro Samurai-looking guy who got shocked and fell off of a tower?

I think that was obviously a reference to Sam Jackson but, if I *were* to count the comic as part of my headcanon, I'd just consider him and Mace different characters; the Shogun being perhaps a former Battlemaster of the Order or something (and perhaps an ancestor of Windu).

 

So one of the epsidoes of the second season/volume of Visions is called "The Spy Dancer"

So...fingers crossed for Mara Jade, maybe?

 

This is gonna be my take on the story of X2 and his fallen brother, X1, since I have a soft spot for their story even if it is a tad weird and fan-servicey, lol. It's gonna include a lot of connections to several games that came out in that era in an effort to tie them all in one grand overarching story.

• X1 and X2 were the results of a private project conducted by the Kaminoans after Falon Grey and Rahm Kota accidentally crashed on Kamino around 50 BBY and Grey needed medical treatment. Their existence was kept secret from the Jedi until they left and the Kaminoans went to work with one goal in mind: to use the genetic material of Force-sensitives as an insurance policy for any future encounters with the Jedi. Unfortunately, the accelerated aging process made the clones go unstable (along with not knowing the many layers of training in the Force).In 40 BBY, they were forced to use what little material they had left to create two clones: X1 and X2, which would grow naturally and have no trace of accelerated aging.
• The two brothers would be discovered during the Separatist attack on Kamino in 22 BBY when the brothers were called out of stasis to assist the Republic in repelling the droid invaders. Upon their discovery, the Jedi and Kaminoans clashed over who had the right to own the clones, and the matter forced the Supreme Chancellor into meddling with affairs and siding with the Jedi: mostly because he doesn't want to risk the Kaminoans in growing an army of Force-sensitives to complicate the Sith's Grand Plan.
• Unfortunately for the brothers, it seemed most of the Jedi had little interest in them. Rahm Kota, in particular, swore to never deal with the clones of his former padawan (and was one of the main reasons why he opted to create a regular militia to fight with during the Clone Wars.) while Falon Grey was incommunicado, being one of the Jedi Knights who refused to comply with the Council's ruling to fight in the war. Eventually, a Jedi Master named Ferroda was assigned to watch over the clone brothers and monitor their process on behalf of the Council.
• Over the next three years, the brothers would hone their skills in combat across many battlefronts of the war and Ferroda would become something of a father figure to the twins. X1 would be the more grumpy of the brothers, citing things like independence and wanting to do things on their own, while X2 rather enjoyed the doting they received from Ferroda, along with the (private) Jedi training they received from the man during their travels.
• After the brothers managed to repel the droid invasion of Tatooine almost on their own, their battalion was recalled back to Coruscant to be awarded with the Republic medal 'Valor of Honor' for their service. In truth, Darth Sidious was curious about the brothers himself and mentally probed them about their sensitivity during the award ceremony, disappointed that neither one seemed to be unique in the Force as he thought.
• Once the Coruscant raid had concluded, Ferroda's battalion would be linked up with Plo Koon's fleet to assist in defeating the Separatist holdouts on Cato Neimoidia and would be present when Order 66 goes down. X2 channels his anger when he sees Ferroda disarm and wound X1, striking down the Jedi Master but lamenting his decision in the years to come. For the time being, he just enjoyed the sensation that such a victory gave him.
• With the rise of the Empire and the extermination of the Jedi Order, X1 and X2 would be transferred to the elite clone 501st Legion under the command of Lord Darth Vader. Vader would take over the late Ferroda's task of monitoring the clones but with brutal methods compared to the Jedi Master. X1 thrived in these teachings while X2 felt a growing numbness inside of him the more he followed Vader's instructions.
• For the next several years, the brothers would help "Vader's Fist" in putting down insurrections on planets like Naboo, Mustafar, and a plethora of other worlds that still challenged the Empire's authority. It wouldn't be until the Imperial subjugation of Kamino that X2 realized the horrors of what he was doing, listening to clone killing clone and the callousness of how the Empire executed entire vats of clone embryos without a second thought. Sometime after the battle, he would desert his post and flee into the unknown, now in search of one man to help him settle his troubling thoughts: his progenitor, Falon Grey.
• X1 would be interrogated personally by Vader for his brother's disappearance and swore to his near-dying breath that he had no part in his brother going AWOL. Vader sees that X1 is telling the truth and tasks him with the mission of tracking down and eliminating X2, something that the clone yearns for now.
• A year later, X2 would find Grey on Dantooine and spend little time with the aloof man before the Empire arrived to put down an insurrection cell commanded by Falon Grey himself. Turns out Grey was a part of a growing resistance movement against the Empire, being one of the dozens across the Outer Rim working in unison. X2 would assist in the defense of Dantooine but it would be for naught when X1 arrives.
• While disturbed to find his brother working alongside their progenitor, X1 knew his duty and fought against both of them, wounding X2 with a shot to the gut but would be outmatched and disarmed by Grey, quite literally as he lost his right hand in their duel. However, the arrival of Vader saw Grey put on the defensive, something that X1 took advantage of and killed the Jedi Master with a precise shot to the head mid-duel. Commending him, Vader gave X1 the order to kill his brother to prove his loyalty to the Empire. X1 ignored X2's pleas and shot him in the chest, believing him to be dead and leaving with the Dark Lord.
• X2 survived miraculously and would be rescued by rebel agents sometime later, healed up in a bacta tank. However, the battle had broken X2's spirit, and he would quit fighting from that point onward. That is, until ten years later when a man walked up to his farmland and asked him to rejoin the fight against the Empire: Rahm Kota, Grey's old master. X2 refused at first but begrudgingly agreed when Kota mentioned the atrocities committed by X1 and how he needed to restore Grey's honor by bringing his fallen brother to justice.
• In the decade following Dantooine, X1 would become one of Vader's most trusted agents, earning recognition for the many assignments he undertook from the Dark Lord. He would receive small bits of Sith training and would even be pitted against a mysterious child on the occasion under Vader's orders, keeping silent on the matter per Vader's order. It would be some time before X1 learned that he had been unintentionally training the man who would unify the rebel movements together: Galen Marek.
• X2 would join Rahm Kota's fleet and aid in many operations across the Outer Rim, even managing to capture Darth Vader on Kamino (a place that brought back many bad memories for him), while forming a close relationship with a bounty hunter named Shara. However, Vader's capture would be a ruse to bring the Empire closer to targeting major rebel leaders, like Kota and Juno Eclipse, who would be killed on Dantooine in the following battle. Vader would escape with the now-captured Starkiller clone and X2 went into hiding with other rebel survivors on Yavin IV.
• The following years would be harrowing for the Alliance but would bore them great results when the Emperor and Darth Vader met their ends at Endor, along with the Second Death Star. X2 would later meet the man who brought down a monster like Vader: Luke Skywalker, who sensed X2's potential and gave him brief lessons in the Force, as did X2, recalling the lessons Ferroda gave him and X1 during their time together. However, Luke would deny X2 a role of apprenticeship citing personal reasons (i.e. the death of many would-be apprentices, Mindor, etc.) and X2 would return back to the military for the next several years.
• After the reborn Palpatine crisis ended in 11 ABY, Luke Skywalker declared the New Jedi Order to be official and took on many apprentices during this time, X2 now among them (coming in right after some weird problem Luke and his first class had with ancient Sith ghosts.) and becoming a gifted student in the Force.
• However, X2 was not the only one learning the secrets of the Force during this time. After the death of Darth Vader, X1 traveled the galaxy, looking for a new master to train him in the ways of the dark side. In late 11 ABY, he would find a new master in the form of Sith Lady Lumiya, who was now looking for an apprentice after the death of Carnor Jax. X1 would grow powerful in their time together, and the two plotted to bring down the New Jedi Order with a deadly secret of theirs: cloning cylinders.
• As X1 would later find out, the Emperor held many secrets, some that almost went undiscovered, had his mad hunt for Luke Skywalker during Operation Shadowhand (as seen in DE2 and EE) allowed Lumiya to infiltrate Byss and learn of a secret fortress deep in the Unknown Regions. An ancient Sith world called Exogol, where cultists called the Sith Eternal worshiped Sidious as the Sith'ari and worked tirelessly to create machines of war to serve the immortal Emperor. Lumiya would crush their spirits with the death of the Emperor and destroy all vats containing the Emperor's clones, claiming the unused ones for herself, along with coercing the cultists into swearing fealty to her.
• With X1, Lumiya saw him as a way to create an army of cloned Force-sensitives to strengthen her cause and unite the Imperial Remnant to her, failing to do so following Pellaeon's encounter with the C'baoth clone and his distrust of any Force-sensitives.
• In 12 ABY, X1 would serve as Lumiya's vanguard in their efforts to draw out and destroy the New Jedi Order, launching terrible strikes on New Republic military installations with scorched earth tactics. His presence in these attacks would draw X2 to him, leading the charge to find his brother and put an end to his reign of terror, as well as draw any remaining Darksider (such as Desann and the Empire Reborn) to side with his fleet.
• A year later on Vjun, X1 would capture Luke Skywalker and bring him to Exogol to be cloned and used as a new terror force in the Sith's attempts to reclaim the galaxy. However, X2 managed to stow away on X1's ISD via a trick he picked up from Han Solo (the hiding on ISD trick from TESB) and managed to alert the Alliance of their whereabouts.
• The attack on Exogol caught the Sith Eternal flat-footed and lost a good portion of their fleet in the opening salvos of the battle, but recovered and fought a bloody battle above the skies of the ancient Sith world. X2 would journey down to Exogol with several other Jedi Knights and succeed in rescuing Luke, though remained adamant about finding his brother and stopping him for good. Knowing that this was X2's battle alone, he sent him on ahead while he and the other Jedi worked on destroying the planet's cloning facility.
• Lumiya would denounce X1's position as a Sith apprentice and leave him for dead, linking up with the remainder of the fleet and commanding them to flee Exogol. Now alone, X1 waited patiently on the Dark Throne for his brother to arrive, which he did shortly thereafter.
• 24 years after their last encounter on Dantooine, the brothers were reunited for one last fateful duel. Sabers clashed and the heat of their blades was nothing compared to the fires that fueled their words, each one damning the other for the choices that led them to today. X2's faith in the Light wavered against the oppressive darkness of Exogol and the madness that his brother displayed, but still gave one last effort to redeem his brother and pull him away from the empty void of the Dark, But it was all for naught.
• X1 died in the throes of the dark side but passed away in his brother's arms after a failed attempt to skewer X2 from behind. He only wished that he had a little more time to spend with his brother before everything they knew went away. So ended the life of X1, the mad would-be Sith clone.
• X2 would give X1 a Jedi funeral pyre on Dantooine, alongside Master Ferroda, Falon Grey, and Rahm Kota (after putting it off for so long). In Ferroda's pyre, he would put his Old Republic medal of valor in place of a body, while in Grey's, he would put in the man's lightsaber that was originally stolen and used by X1 all this time. Kota's would hold the lightsaber X2 made, using materials he found in Kota's study after the elder Jedi's death. The only one to attend would be Luke, who tells him that he made the right choice in the end, even if it was the hardest. Luke bestowed the ranking of Jedi Master onto X2 for this trial, marking him as the first master in Luke's New Jedi Order.
• After the Battle of Exogol, X2 would retire on Yavin IV with his wife, Shara, and their twin children (a boy and a girl, one named after Falon and the other named Kara after Shara's deceased sister), serving as an instructor for future generations of Jedi Knights again. The life of a soldier was long behind him, but now he had a future to look forward to. One filled with the light of the Jedi.
• As for what happened to the Sith Eternal and their fleet? They would be what make up the ranks of Tavion's Disciples of Ragnos after the Darksider finds the Scepter of Ragnos and uses it to overthrow Lumiya as master of the cult. In despair of another failure, Lumiya flees to Korriban, plotting again to find a way to bring down Luke Skywalker and all he had created, no matter how long it would take.

 

XoXaan is pronounced like "Susan."

 

Every Expanded Universe material that is set after the end of the NJO is in-universe fiction. The Dark Nest Trilogy, Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi, Crucible and the Legacy comics are all in-universe holodramas, created wuthin the Galactic Alliance after the end of the Vong War. In reality, after the Vong War there were hundreds of years of peace and prosperity for the Galactic Alliance and the Galaxy as a whole, and the main heros lived happily ever after. So, Jacen never fell to the Dark Side, and the Sith never returned.

 

That's my headcanon for everything... except Mercy Kill. Mercy Kill is still canon. I have a soft spot for my X-wing novels.

 

That actually makes sense

 

No way.

It's Suzanne.
