Lit Favourite Obscure Pieces of Lore

That comic takes place during the New Sith Wars i believe

 

Looks like the Clone Troopers armor are not something original in Legends the Republic Troopers from SWTOR used it first same happen with the Rebel Troopers wearing a similar outfit from KOTOR Republic Troopers
It seems that in Legends Palpatine was inspired to create his Empire in Vitiate Sith Empire it seems that Vitiate was the first Sith to modernize his mitilirization and the first Sith that his Empire controlled big part of the Galaxy before Palpatine

I like Maul story in the Orsis Academy the Wrath of Darth Maul had a very underrated tales from Legends Maul also the Darth Maul Legends novels are very good in Legends also Maul discovers the true identity of Plagueis and discovers that he was never trained to be a true Sith this is different compared to the New Canon because it seems that in the New Canon Palpatine actually chose Maul to be his true Sith apprentice

In Tartakovsky Clone Wars Bal'demnic appears this is the planet where Plagueis and Tenebrous travel at the beginning of the novel Plagueis

Durge being a New Sith Wars veteran makes a connection to Tartakovsky Clone Wars with the rest of the EU

 

There was supposedly a Killik Sith Lord who existed millennia before the Sith Order was even founded. IIRC another one of the canceled blog articles would've tried to, among other things, make him make sense. Or maybe I dreamed that?

 

The Killik Sith Lord was introduced in Star Wars Gamer in 2002, before Denning revealed that Killiks have a hive mind.

Not that I’m aware of. If such a plan existed, Wookieepedia doesn’t mention it in its article on the Killik Sith Lord.

 

I'm not sure how "obscure" it is given that the Black Fleet Crisis is a consistently popular series on here, but rereading Shield of Lies has reminded me again of the hilarity that is Jabba's Throne Room The Bar: a kitsch club/restaurant based directly off of the events of ROTJ, with a Bib Fortuna impersonator as the manager, "Oola" the waitress, and apparently some kind of floor show involving a very unconvincing Chewbacca actor.

 

Perhaps that Sith past is what made it so easy for Sith Master Lomi Plo and her apprentice Welk to create the Dark Nest in 35 ABY.

 

I've read about that issue (originally from Race for the Tessent?) but I still have a hard time following it - is the imication that the "Killik Sith Lord" was really a Red Sith joiner?

 

A Killik INDIVIDUAL? I suspected it was an entire Hive going Darth due to a Sith Joiner...

And Darth Soros... are we to take that as a jab at real world Soros and his Dark Side? Who wrote that part of TOR?

This individual Killik, if true, reminds me of the 7of9 story from Star Trek Voyager freeing her from the Borg Collective.

 

well see what SE says bout that

 

There's a one-off comic called "The Storyteller" from the Tales anthology series that's unique for a couple of reasons. First, it's one of the only stories set in the Galaxy's future, past the lifetimes of the OT characters. Second? It features the death of C-3P0, who is blasted to bits by enforcers of a repressive dictatorship... but not before he, a Rebel to the end, inspires an idealistic Force-sensitive kid to begin a revolution against said oppressors.

It was initially assumed to be non-canon since a lot of stories in that anthology were... but it was recently included in the final (chronologically) Epic Collection, possibly canonizing it. For Legends. This terminology is confusing!

Incidentally, this also makes Artoo the sole member of the core OT cast unambiguously still alive at the latest point of the Legends timeline... and while I doubt this was intentional, it still dovetails quite nicely with Lucas' statements that Artoo is the narrator, retelling the Saga many centuries after it actually took place.

 

Seeing a post about "Mace Windu" the Squib (who is also worthy of inclusion) reminded me of the existence of P. Essex Yerac, an Alliance Intelligence officer whose reasons for going by an initial can only be determined if you read through the only work where they make any appearance - WEG's Alliance Intelligence Reports sourcebook - very carefully.

Spoiler

Specifically, the one entry that has a submitting officer listed as "Lieutenant Colonel Palpatine Essex Yerac".

 

I would say "All of SE", but that's too obvious. So I'll cut a little deeper:
Adventures in Colors and Shapes, which is a 1984 children's book/cassette where the Falcon uses "Fulstar plates" (giant, colorful plates in different shapes) as a key component. It's all been uploaded to YouTube here:

This is technically lore because it was set to be referenced in the cancelled 3rd Ryder Windham book in the Adventures in Hyperspace series, "The Big Switch":

The full text can be read on Starwarstimeline.net here. I just love that there came a point in the EU where even old educational children's books could be considered canon on some level. No stone unturned, which is par for the course for Ryder's work!

 

In Legends R2-D2 told the story of the Skywalkers to the Keepers of the Whills before Legacy happens

 

it seems that Anakin massacring the Tuskens is more brutal in Legends
i dont know about New Canon but in Legends some Tuskens can be human and if those Tuskens that Anakin hurt were human this make Anakin character even more complex

also in the Legends universe the Clones dont have chips they knew that they were going to betray the Jedi and that Order 66 was going to come

 

Why is killing humans in any way more than killing anybody else? That sounds just wrong.

 

killing is killing end of story

 

Workshop Xcan and the Xi Char that worked there-t’laakak s’lalak t’th’ak were the pinnacle of Charros IV’s design elements. Moreover, t’laalak s’lalak t’th’ak had designed many other items for Darth Sidious and was indeed a secret admirer of the Sith. No doubt he and Rugess Nome were old colleagues. I can even pronounce t’laalak s’lalak t’th’ak’s name perfectly thanks to the venerable Jonathan Davis.

In fact, I suspect that t’laalak s’lalak t’th’ak’s compatriots secretly installed epsionage gear within TC-16 when he accompanied Anakin and Obi-Wan to Workshop Xcan shortly before the Battle of Coruscant. TC-16 was likely keeping Darth Sidious directly informed as to Aurek Team’s progress in their hunt for the Sith Lord. It’s likely the only reason that TC-16 was spared from destruction when Aurek Team finally closed in on Sidious’s secret bunker in the sub-basements of 500 Republica.

 

I hope Jonathan Davis received a bonus, because if I were an audiobook narrator and I saw that come up in my script, I'd be spending a bit of time rethinking my career path.

 

I actually consider it a testament to his skills and professionalism that he actually pronounced it properly and multiple times during the chapter. It’s not something every narrator could do well.

 

Looks like the Brotherhood of Darkness existed in the New Canon
Tsui Choi appeared in Episode 3

 

I find it wonderfully ironic that the Jedi Knight who hated the Yuuzhan Vong more than any other was the one who killed the World Brain-entirely by accident. Alema Rar despised the Vong for killing Numa and it was her poison dart, meant for Jacen, that flew into the eye of the World Brain and killed it.

One Jedi finished what another had begun in ending the dhuryams. The cherry on that irony cake is that Alema was instrumental in ending the True Victory Party, an organization she had once kept a close watch on as a Jedi. Once again, that fact is entirely a coincidence since she and Lumiya were sent after the Bothans because Jacen mistakenly believed them to be responsible for the death of the World Brain. In reality, the True Victory Party was entirely innocent of that particular crime and the true culprit was the one who eliminated them.

That little brouhaha in the secret Well of the World Brain had wide-reaching repercussions. That one accidental killing and the assassinations that followed resulted in the entirety of Bothan Space turning against the Galactic Alliance.

 

One bit of obscure lore that I just remembered were the Attendants...



Like, what the heck was their deal? They appeared in The Last Jedi and the Thrawn books, but the rest of Star Wars has seemed to have forgotten about them, especially since Episode 9 made it all about Palpatine and the Sith Eternal.
