Lit Favourite Obscure Pieces of Lore

@Sinrebirth Is it possible Hord’s slaughter of so many Jedi, one warrior cutting down so many made The Jedi believe it could not be a Sith, but some other calamity? That they refused to believe it was The Sith like the Jedi Council initially does in The Prequels:



It is possible Ajunta Pall was wrong? Did not know of Hord’s successes? Its kinda like in other historical accounts on Earth, two historians may not recognize one another, or have different events because they saw different things.

 

The Jedi seem to blind themselves over and over:

“For 300 years, we prepared; we grew stronger while you rested in your cradle of power believing your people were safe and protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic, but you were deceived. You thought no force could challenge you..” (Darth Malgus, Deceived Trailer)


Master Yoda



My point is The Jedi tend to delude themselves into The Sith are extinct over and over, and then are surprised when The Sith return. They fail to grasp as long as there is one who learns the ways of the dark side, and seeks the secrets of the Sith in tombs, holocrons, and etc; The Sith can be reborn from the ashes.

 

This is only sorta 'lore' related, but: I've always been amused by the behind the scenes stories from the KOTOR comics of artists misinterpreting JJM's directions, such as how one issue opens with the Arkanian Legacy docked to a huge refueling station because the artist wasn't familiar with the term 'holding station'. In a similar instance, the Republic starship Ecliptic was created because the letterer didn't understand that when the script contained dialogue about something in a space battle taking place 'off the ecliptic' or whatever, it was referring to the actual astronomical term, and so capitalized and italicized it as a ship name would be.

What amuses me about this particular case, though, is that the name Ecliptic (no 'Rand') did in fact have precedent as a Republic ship name specifically. So it's not really all that weird a name.

 

In Disney Canon the Rogue Squadron was named in honor of Rogue One

In the Legends Young Han Solo Origin Novels Han goes to Alderaan and saw a Video or Hologram of Bail Organa with Kid Leia Years before ANH

 

Who I really miss is Jerec, The Dark Jedi and later the Reborn dark side cultists. That in New Jedi Order era The Sith proper do not re-emerge immediately, but rather other dark side factions do first.

 

Prince Xizor was first mentioned in Darksaber, published months before the Shadows Of the Empire project was launched. Durga mentions serving him years before.

 

Prince Xizor was a great villian, I wish he’d be in a new game or book.

 

Something interesting about this I noticed at the time is that in Legends it was established that Red Squadron at Endor was in fact Rogue Squadron temporarily renaming itself in honor of the Red Squadron that was all but wiped out at Yavin. Whereas in canon it's implied Red Squadron may have been renamed to Rogue Squadron, IIRC.

So in both cases we have the unit naming itself in honor of a group of Rebel heroes who sacrificed themselves to take down the Death Star, but which one's the original name and which one's the tribute gets switched around. That's kind of neat.

 

That's amazing! I always thought Darksaber came out later because of that mention.

 

Was there originally going to be connection between The Death Star and Skywalker’s original name Starkiller?

 

Just found this out by complete accident.

Admiral Terrinald Screed was present at the Battle of Endor, according to his Wookieepedia page. Holy heck. That makes things interesting.

 

I actually really like the "feuding warlords" era of the Legendsverse. Like, another detail from that period was that Lumiya was going around "cleaning up" the rest of Palpatine's leftover Darksiders to ensure she and she alone would carry on the legacy of the Sith.

 

I love the fact that MC80B cruiser Mon Remonda was destroyed by the World Devastator Silencer-7 during the Battle Of Calamari. We never see it on page; in fact the Remonda is not even mentioned in Dark Empire since it was not created yet. Its end was only invented by guide books after the fact. It always seemed to me a fitting end to a warship that saw a lot during her relatively brief career.

Plus, it lends even more threat to Silencer-7, because that means it destroyed two capital ships: After all, that thing also ate the Emancipator, another famous Alliance veteran.

 

Hmm, that's an interesting way to tie up the stories of some of the more obscure Darksiders like Croym, Winslau Da'k, or Drayneen.

 

There is a Short Story in the New Canon with Luke flirting with a Rebel Guy in Hoth one of the most crazy moments in the New Canon im not against LGBT Characters but Luke always liked Girls he liked Leia since he watched her in the Hologram Luke dont like Guys or he is Bi i think this Short Story will be Forgotten

 

I dont remember but i saw the Story on Wookieepedia

 

The story you're thinking of is "Luke on the Bright Side" by Sam Maggs, from the Stories of Jedi and Sith collection.

 

The story shows him having an attraction to Reyé Hollis, so yes, Luke would presumably be bi, if any label were to be applied. That doesn't somehow mean he doesn't like girls any more.
