I was leaning toward his hair being light when he was serving the Light Side and then turning dark when he turned to the Dark Side.
I’m definitely believing Imri = Qimir, but we’ll see in June I guess. Also wouldn’t that make him a century old by the time of Acolyte? I know Mirialan’s live for longer now, but humans? Not sure. Eh, I wants it. They can explain it to me later.
Carbonite. Seriously, my headcanon would lean toward his life being extended unnaturally by the other Sith who was skulking around in the Cortisis cave directly next to where Qimir/Imri says that he was a Jedi "a *long* time ago". And it would have to be a very long time ago for Sol to not recognize him as any recent Padawan to Vern.
I want him to be that, too, but haircolor aside, they would turn blond white dude into an asian guy. It is not beyond possible, but would be weird given all the many official depictions in the High Rep art even recently AFTER Acolyte release. Rather than glossing over that I'd want Imri to bodyhop into Qimir at some point. Or use nanobots, surgery or else to evade being recognised, except by may be Vern who feels his Force aura. Well maybe not full bodyhop as that is esoteric and Master level (except for Set Harth who got lucky!). But what if someone pushed his soul out of his body in a fight, and he leached on to the next best he could find near by. Not a selfimposed bodyhop but the same thing that is not repeatable and one step in Sith finding that it may be possible. If they ever do a live action Set Harth, he should be played by Seth Hart.
All of this fits into the headcanon. I mean he literally lives in a Cortisis mine on *obviously* Bal'Demnic and Darth Plagueis seems to have a spare key to his house. Every possible path for Imri/Qimir to unnaturally prolong his life all have Plagueis written all over them.
One of Thrawn's secret-secret misisons when dispatched to the Unknown Regions was to find and destroy Atha Prime after this involvement in the Anti-Sith Conspiracy was found out.
i really dont belive hes Imri myself. The Stranger is probably someone new Vern just has bad luck It happens
Given Qimir is established to be an alias and Vern doesn't exactly keep Imiri a secret - her fricken ship is named after him - I think even if there is a connection it seems more likely that Qimir chose his alias a subtle, private taunt than "being evil turns you Asian and live longer even though Palpatine's whole thing was desperately trying to find a way to live longer through evil."
Plagueis extended Venamis's life. Palpatine was chasing it because Plagueis was no longer alive to do his experimenting. Either way, Qimir is quite young looking but has not been a Jedi for a "long time"... and long enough that Sol does not recognize him as a former padawan of Vern. This is a headcanon thread, so you are wrong and can sit there in your wrongness and be wrong.
Black Sun definitely reformed into Blue Sun after the 25 ABY Kessel coup. River is a Force user, and Blue Sun has a project to create Force users with mental controls. I still headcanon that Firefly/Serenity takes place years after the GA-Confederation War. The Alliance retains its dictatorial bend under Daala, after all. Corellia’s moon, named Shadow, is where Malcolm Reynolds was born. Serenity Valley is in the Balmorra system, which is a world that the Confederation took from the Alliance.
I love Plagueis novel but I do not forgive Luceno for forgetting one tiny bit of crucial intel. Plagueis could keep his loved ones from dying. But he never loved in the book. So WHO could it be? Speculations went wild for years. I'd not put it past fanficcers to make that into Plagueis/Venamis slashfics... But seriously... how could he ignore that? Forget that? Venamis life extended as well as others probably, WHO is Plagueis love? Imri is so Sith.. he ignored all blackfacing or cultural aprobation backleashes and chose to become the asian dude all fangirls would fall for. That guy got serious issues. Only because his girl ignored and friendzoned him in their youth, he chose to become the idol of all K-Pop, Cosplay and Manga fangirls and rock the Epicanthix vibes. And on top he added a flavor of Mr. Friendzone, Zekk, aka he can get them anything as procurator of potions and posions. The Apothecary of their Hearts; the shy but dangerous nerdy guy hiding behind and worshipping strong women but totally dealing damage and in control when someone comes threatening his beloved toys. Oh Imri... Oh Qimri... Oh Qimir... Poor Plagueis loved him... would have extended his life even further. But Qimir chose to like girls more. Now Plagueis has been friendzoned... and you better not friendzone Plagueis!
The book suggested "his experimental subjects" “What is this place, Master?” Plagueis took a moment to gather enough strength to continue. “Think of it as a vessel that contains all the things to which I am devoted. All the things I love.” “This may be the first time I have ever heard you utter the word.” “Only because no other term exists that adequately expresses my unconditional attachment to the creatures and beings with whom I share this place. Love without compassion, however, for compassion has no part in this.” “The Bith — Venamis …” “Dispatched by Tenebrous to test me — to eliminate me had I failed. But Venamis has been a gift; essential in helping me unlock some of the deepest secrets of the Force. Every creature you have glimpsed or sensed here has been a similar blessing, as you will see when I lead you into the mysteries.” “What did the droid mean when it said the Magister’s pregnancies?” Beneath the breath mask, Plagueis might have quirked a smile. “It means that the pregnancies were not achieved by normal means of conception, but rather through the Force.” Surprise and disbelief mingled in Sidious’s blue eyes. “The Force?” “Yes,” Plagueis said pensively. “But I failed to exercise due caution. As we attempt to wrest the powers of life and death from the Force, as we seek to tip the balance, the Force resists our efforts. Action and reaction, Sidious. Something akin to the laws of thermodynamics. I have been audacious, and the Force has tested me the way Tenebrous sought to. Midi-chlorians are not easily persuaded to execute the dictates of one newly initiated in the mysteries. The Force needs to be won over, especially in work that involves the dark side. It must be reassured that a Sith is capable of accepting authority. Otherwise it will thwart one’s intentions. It will engineer misfortune. It will strike back.” ... The question of whether he and Sidious had discovered something new or rediscovered something ancient was beside the point. All that mattered was that, almost a decade earlier, they had succeeded in willing the Force to shift and tip irrevocably to the dark side. Not a mere paradigm shift, but a tangible alteration that could be felt by anyone strong in the Force, and whether or not trained in the Sith or Jedi arts. The shift had been the outcome of months of intense meditation, during which Plagueis and Sidious had sought to challenge the Force for sovereignty and suffuse the galaxy with the power of the dark side. Brazen and shameless, and at their own mortal peril, they had waged etheric war, anticipating that their own midi-chlorians, the Force’s proxy army, might marshal to boil their blood or stop the beating of their hearts. Risen out of themselves, discorporate and as a single entity, they had brought the power of their will to bear, asserting their sovereignty over the Force. No counterforce had risen against them. In what amounted to a state of rapture they knew that the Force had yielded, as if some deity had been tipped from its throne. On the fulcrum they had fashioned, the light side had dipped and the dark side had ascended. On the same day they had allowed Venamis to die. Then, by manipulating the Bith’s midi-chlorians, which should have been inert and unresponsive, Plagueis had resurrected him. The enormity of the event had stunned Sidious into silence and overwhelmed and addled 11-4D’s processors, but Plagueis had carried on without assistance, again and again allowing Venamis to die and be returned to life, until the Bith’s organs had given out and Plagueis had finally granted him everlasting death. But having gained the power to keep another alive hadn’t been enough for him. And so after Sidious had returned to Coruscant, he had devoted himself to internalizing that ability, by manipulating the midi-chlorians that animated him. For several months he made no progress, but ultimately he began to perceive a measured change. The scars that had grown over his wounds had abruptly begun to soften and fade, and he had begun to breathe more freely than he had in twenty years. He began to sense that not only were his damaged tissues healing, but his entire body was rejuvenating itself. Beneath the transpirator, areas of his skin were smooth and youthful, and he knew that eventually he would cease to age altogether.
but doesnt SE have firefly in the cosmic wars The wife that the shakespear revenge of the sith adaptation randomly gives plagueis is who he brought back
Well... in modern times, Qimir could be his waifu... and later Venamis. But waaaaiiiiiit... how detailed was the Shapespeare book again about her? Could this lifeextended wife actually be... Osha that dumped Qimir for Plagueis? Headcanon accepted! I love this backstabby Sith Love Triangle now! He dumps him for her, she dumps him for him,... and what if Plagueis keeps him alive, too, just to put him from one captured body into the next, like had had done initially for Imri... so... Imri... aka Qimir... could BE Darth Venamis!
The "Obsidian skin" that King Adas was credited with in legends of his stories was not the skin he was born with. As he lost limbs and suffered crippling wounds during the many battles against the Rakata he combined alchemy and metallurgy and infused his body with more and more metal parts. By the end he had become one with his armor. Millennia later his holocron was picked up by Ajunta Pall, who wished to learn all of the secrets of these Rakatan invaders. Later the holocron was past on to Tulak Horde who did much the same as Adas. Still more millennia his holocron was found by one Freedon Nadd on the planet Ashas Ree, who used it to find many books written by Adas in the ancient sith library on Krayiss II. Freedon conquered the planet Onderon and spread the knowledge and philosophy of Adas throughout Onderon. Eventually one Shas Dovos found these books in a secret vault hidden in the Onderon wilderness, and was possessed by the spirit of Adas, who had preserved the integrity of these books for tens of millennia. Shas Dovos, under Adas influence, created a set of armor and then was forcefully fused into it by Adas upon its completion, as told by the TOTJ Companion, becoming Warb Null. Still more millennia later, the armor of Warb Null is hidden on Nicht Ka, while his holocron fell into the clutches of the Mecrosa Order, than later Lady Lumiya. Lumiya hoped to do as Adas had done and to fully integrate herself with her cursed cybernetics, claiming it as her own, but she was held back by her innate disgust with "soulless" machinery and metal and failed. The gatekeeper simulacrum of Adas, if not the actual spirit itself, dismissed her as a vain and cowardly fool and closed itself off from her, further driving her to find someone truly worthy of the Sith Legacy. This is why in the Hammer short story; Telloti saw his arm as red when he was meant to be seeing a flashback into Adas's life, who is also meant to be the spirit who created Warb Null, as per the author.
Certainly this whole ancient Witch Kingdom thing gives them a far older heritage than an exiled jedi training some human prisoners which would explain why they seemed to already have some of those cultural traits in Dawn of the Jedi. It does raise questions in turn. In particular, from a one canon perspective, I am not sure how to work out the timeline of the kwa, dathomiri, and zeffo on the planet, to say nothing of the implication of the dathomiri being human-zabrak hybrids from another galaxy has on things, especially given zabraks are themselves said to be human offshoots that arose from isolated colonists so how far back does this rabbit hole go? In any case, I definitely want to see more of this ancient magical take one star wars with witches riding space whales between worlds. Personally, I get the impression Leia would be on the side of the Centrists favoring a stronger central government and military, except that she absolutely hates the imperial apologia there and has friends in the populist camp. It is interesting. Despite claiming to be the only one with clarity of purpose when disparaging the politics of...many different groups - it isn't particularly clear what Saw's political beliefs are. Luthen implies anarchism, but Saw mentions restoring the republic at some points, and despite his fights with other members of the alliance, he still identifies with it on some level, telling Jyn to save it in order to save the dream. Perhaps he wanted a republic, but a greatly reformed one. Or perhaps even he doesn't know at some point. That the fight has become an end rather a goal, and hoping for anything more than death in battle is too scary to contemplate, since by only wishing for that can he never be disappointed. Timm Carlo's great nephew who bares a strong family resemblance I take it. Kinda. Even then, the darkside made his clones age faster, not slower.
I think what happened is that the Nightsisters initially came to Dathomir, and are very much like the mothers. Very humanoid, and very powerful Force Users. They were, no doubt, tied to Abeloth, possibly one of her earliest entries, like immediately after she drank from the pool of knowledge. To add onto it, I think the name 'Nightsisters' came first, and then when Allya came a few centuries prior to Phantom Menace, she basically redeemed a bunch of Nightsisters towards a more Light Side-minded version of their beliefs. So, still keeps the local customs, but adds a more Jedi veneer to them, keeps the matriarchy, but removes the malicious, quasi-Dark Side of them. Imperial Knight allusions are possible here, with the Jedi 'redeeming' the Empire in a similar way. The Nightsisters under Gethzerion would then be the 'true Sisters', those who still cling to the old, pre-Jedi beliefs. Throughout history, we seem to have had various Nightsisters allied with Sith. Its more recent history, sure, but I could definitely buy the Nightsisters of Dathomir being a client state of Vitiate's Empire, and I could then see the Paecian Empire making Dathomir into a Narkina-5 like prison facility for Sith who refused to bend to them. From there on, Brotherhood of Darkness breaks them out, and sets up a Sith Academy on there (as per EGTW). I think loads of people, in-universe, would like the legend of Saw Gerrera more than the man himself, so I could definitely see in-universe retroactively applying some actual ideals he may have had, some might say he's an anarchist, others might say socialist. His mugshot is definitely going to be present on t-shirts in the post-Endor period.
Spoilers for Season 2 of Andor: Spoiler Tony Gilroy confirmed that Dedra was in the same prison system as Andor was in Season 1. But she was on Narkina 3, not on 5, according to him. In this case Narkina 1 and 2 might be for aliens. 3 would be for women, 4 for non-binary people and 5 as we all know is for men, I'd guess Gesendet von meinem Nokia G22 mit Tapatalk
The Ancient Witch Kingdom covering Dathomir, Seatos (Denab) and Arcana, with a tie to Zeffo, does imply a very wide-net for Dathmiri. Meanwhile the Zeffo are tied to Dathomir, Zeffo, Ontotho, Bogano and Kashyyyk gives them an inclination to the northern quadrant, save for Peridea, which feels like an exile for Kujet but who knows. Perhaps Kujet followed the Dathmiri by way of Dathomir?
