Lit GENERAL QUESTION THREAD (What to read? Where to start? What's canon? What's not? Duros, etc.)

Yep, that is correct. Justification below, if you want it (spoilers) :

Spoiler: Spoilers for Tears of the Nameless

Cam Lindon, introduced in Seeds, is Master Eve Byre's new Padawan, following the death of her previous apprentice in Tears.

 

To anyone's who's read the Duel of the Fates script: what is Kylo's motivation/ideology like in it? My biggest disappointment with TROS is that Abrams dropped Kylo's ideological shift from bringing the Empire back to wanting to destroy Galactic society entirely and build something totally new in the ruins. That's such a unique villain motivation in the series (only Kreia comes close, I'd say) and I'm curious if Trevorrow would've retained it.

 

Are there any species aside from the Rakata and Yuuzhan Vong that can't be Force-sensitive?

 

Given Elder Ruthic and "Vongerella", both can be force-sensitive.

No species seem excluded from force-sensitivity, even droids get a handful with examples like 4-LOM.

 

Ah, disappointing, so Trevorrow would've dropped that angle too. Thanks though.

 

If the Rebel infiltration team on Scarif was unable to send a communication signal through the planetary shield...how come Veers is able to communicate with Vader from his AT-AT in ESB?

 

Different shields with different functions Id assume. The rebels want to coordinate their ion cannon with the transports approaching an ISD.

Alternatively, the Executor supports advanced and powerful communications equipment that the smaller rebel Scariff fleet could not support. I doubt that's all empty space afterall, and it's definitely big enough to fit the Scariff Comms tower and more inside without issue.

 

In one of the Star Wars card games, there is a card with Palpatine watching a holographic image of Luke on a chess board-like Holotable during the Battle of Hoth; smiling knowingly. I can’t remember the name or set that card was from but I’m thinking the SWG card game or the “Canon” LCG. Does anybody know what I’m talking about? I want to make it my computer background wallpaper

 

Has Star Wars (legends or new EU) ever directly addressed Time Dilation, and how hyperspace avoids it? Or have there ever been cases of time dilation actually having an effect?

 

Could be just a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey...no, hang on...that's Doctor Who.

 

There is a holonet article about someone's "relativistic shields" failing and winding up in the far future when their ship came out of hyperspace, Bosbit Matarcher.

There is also the GHW-era sith warship, Harbinger, which wound up 5000 years in the future after an accident with its hyperdrive.

 

Reposting this from another thread a while ago. There was a piece of SW artwork I remember seeing a few times. The view is from the inside of a hangar on the Death Star II, looking out, and in the distance there's the Millennium Falcon and some Rebel fighters flying towards the hangar, and there's a bunch of Imperial troops running for cover. I think there's two variants, one where the Falcon is firing on the hangar, and one where it isn't. I was able to find this on Google a few years ago, but I don't remember the search terms I used.

 

Could it have been this? From Esbjorn Nord's ArtStation page

There's no Falcon I think (although it's hard to make out some of the ship details) but it seems to have everything else.

 

Nah it's a much more old style drawing. Although that does look pretty cool.

 

I'm not sure if this image will work and this is DS1, but it isn't this, is it? It's Ralph McQuarrie's "TIE Defense". I can't find a good-sized photo that isn't a toy set or watermarked.

 

Ah yes, that's it...or at least one of the variants. Hrm strange, I always thought it was DS2 rather than DS1.

 

Yeah, poking around the internet, there are definitely others. The exact titles might be different and that could be the way to find them... "Ralph McQuarrie Death Star" gave me this:

 

What did Jango think was the reason that Dooku wanted to create an army for the Republic?

 

What do the Inquisitor numbers mean? It doesn't seem to be rank - Obi-Wan outright says that Fifth Brother outranks Third Sister, and he in turn seems to follow Seventh Sister's lead more often than not in Rebels.

 

Order of entry is probably the best assumption,

the apparent existence of both a third brother and sister also implies that we havent seen at least half of the inquisitorius yet.

 

It does seem odd how 3rd sister was a youngling during Order 66, and 2nd Sister was a Padawan tortured into converting later.
Especially since 4th Sister, and 7th Sister seem to join pretty early by the accounts of most sources.
That raises the prospect that vacancies can be filled, but the newbies always rank lower than the oldies no matter the number.

Rebels definitely offers a vague implication that number means something with 5th Brother and 7th Sister trading barbs about each other's rank at one point.

 

Hmm, generational gaps creating an informal ranking system on top of the formal ranking system of the numbers would make alot of sense. Third Sister would be a "second generation inquisitor" due to being a youngling, presumably replacing Third Brother, assuming that title isn't just some encyclopedia fluke.
