    I don't think all Sullustans are hairless - Dllr Nep had a beard, and now that I check it looks like the diner owner from TCW had (not much) hair, too.

    Maybe Sullustans are actually furry but love to shave! Hey... are they just shaved Ewoks?

    I'm not convinced that isn't some sort of caterpiller on Dllr Nep's face, but the point is taken. Still, don't go trusting skinny bakers and bald barbers.

    Well for that matter, there is a trend in SW... Dr. Evazan is a surgeon but far from the beauty he promises his clients!

    In the comic series with that Jedi who survived Order 66, Dass Jenir? They were going to rescue that Separatist's kid and it turns out that she was bought and eaten by some guy who buys and eats child slaves. Talk about the most evil man in the galaxy.

    Baroness Omnino from the Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan: Last Stand On Ord Mantell comic also dealt in slaves and ate them; in her case, she was fond of Mantellian Savrips.

    Yikes. I think I remember that. I remember being disturbed by those comics, but I don't remember the specifics. :eek:

    One of the sourcebooks for the FFG RPG mentioned that the Tales of the Jedi comics and KOTOR games are known in-universe as ancient epic literature, called The Qel-Droma Cycle and The Revan Cycle respectively. It's noted that even for a space-age society, having accurate records from that far back is extremely difficult, and as a result nobody's completely sure how well the epics match up to the true events they were based on...

    I don't see why anyone would want to get a haircut from a wookie. You never see a wookie with an actually unique haircut!

    I already say that about the Calrissian Chronicles. It's the only way they make sense.

    Depending on the events of TOTJ and KOTOR happening in Canon and again being depicted in another form, i hope they retcon KOTOR into something resembling TOTJ aesthetically. Instead of the other way around.

    Two recent finds:
    1. There is a sector of Coruscant called "Darkside" (thanks to the Living Force campaign, which seems to inhabit a pocket universe of its own within Legends).
    2. Clone trooper helmets have "windshield wipers", as seen in the Republic Commando games where they conveniently remove bug splatter etc from your viewscreen.

    Unlike pretty all other Legends sources, WEG's sourcebook Cracken's Threat Dossier actually states that rancors don't originate on Dathomir:

    Reminds me of how Revan (novel) says that Dromund Kaas is the “long-lost ancestral homeworld” of the Sith.

    Obscure piece of lore I do love is the character of "Jacob Nion"...

    now if you go "who is that?" yeah that is how obscure he is!

    Well most know him under another name, but to me he will be forever Jacob Nion. And that printing issue where the german novel released before the US ones that got a new name corrected, gave us this original character name throughout the entire novel for him. Not even sure if they corrected it in preprints.

    Aayla Secura fought a giant beast on Endor to help an Ewok village during the Clone Wars.

    The wonderful thing about the combat umbrella is that the image of clones drifting lazily down to the battlefield is exactly as goofy as the name implies.

    Man, those comics were wild, lol. I remember the one where Yoda carried a massive crate on his back that inexplicably held a comically large laser turret.

    I love them. I love them so much. They might be my favourite thing put out by Dark Horse.

    Loved it. "He's just a little bitty feller!"

    I also loved Aurra Sing being chased by a swarm of "smart mines" that said things like:
    "I am not a bomb"
    "We just want to talk to you"
    "The beeping you hear is not a proximity detector"

    And the one with the Battle Droid that bumped his head and decided he wanted to live instead of fight
