Lit Hego Damask in new canon

DP is legend now, even James Luceno's Tarkin didn't mention this name. but I saw the Ultimate Star Wars guide used this name on a short conversation between Plagueis and Sidious from DP.

So can we say Hego Damask is Darth Plagueis in new canon as well, or we still can't confirm it?

 

Try that trick on Wookieepedia. I dare you.

Seriously, though, no, we can't. It's just a character talking with Palpatine in the new canon, nothing else is revealed in the canon about said character.

 

I'm curious, can someone quote the exact line from Ultimate Star Wars?

 

Pfluegermeister the Wookiee page has part of the quote.

It doesn't sound like it's that enlightening, which also probably explains the awesomely hilarious summary on Wookieepedia:

Hego Damask was an individual who once had a conversation with Sheev Palpatine​

​

(And I'm just playing, so please don't any of you brilliant Wookiee people take it the wrong way, as I know you can't put anything else there yet )

 

Anyone wanna bet that it'll all turn out to have been a mistake by the author............

 

Well, since Dan Wallace was one of the authors, I'm guessing the very selective quote probably wasn't a mistake, but a deliberate tease that establishes nothing.

 

Except that naboo has musuems! (Mind Blown)

 

Wait, really? I absolutely took the USW quote to mean it's still Plagueis' name.

 

"Theed is a beautiful city."
"If you like museums."
―Hego Damask and Sheev Palpatine

So we have our contenders: He could be Darth Plagueis, but I'm going to wager 50 republic credits that "Who is Ric Olie's dad?" is the right answer, because I think there's more chance Ric Olie's dad would say something like that.

 

It was a strange thing that this quote ended up in the book. Could it hint at Plagueis being in the ST...

 

Considering how many people already think he's in it, hinting was hardly necessary.

 

The only evidence I see of Plagueis being in this trilogy is the DESIRE of people here to see him in it.

 

Yeah, but if he WERE in it that what they'd WANT us to think.

 

Well, you know what they say:

Damask becomes the Muun.

 

Okay, I'll allow that pun and the mental self-five because I loved Barney as a character. What I DIDN'T love was how they had him go through so much character growth and maturing in the last couple seasons, only to have him revert straight back to his old childish ways in the finale so, what, Ted could start seeing Robin again? So Ted could have his cake and eat it too? And to make that happen they take the title character of the Mother and, after building HER up for a whole season - hell, for the whole SERIES - and just casually kill her off.

SCREW that finale. Seriously, screw it till it bleeds.

 

Yeah . . . I think I've seen three episodes. Maybe four?

It was all right.

 

It's your own fault for watching a stupid show to begin with.

 

They didn't exactly telegraph the fact that it was gonna end stupidly, you know...

You want a stupid show? I give you 2 Broke Girls. Kat Dennings cannot, in any way, deliver sitcom dialogue. Beth Behrs certainly can, but Dennings can't. Every time she tries, it's painful - you can practically hear the drums doing one-shots: "Ba-DUM-tssh." I get the feeling we wouldn't be hearing any laughs from the studio audience at all if there weren't signs being held up to them that say "LAUGH."

 

This is how I feel about every laugh-track sitcom of the last fifteen years.

 

All sitcoms are stupid. Discussion over.

 

Pssh. In hindsight, the first episode makes it VERY clear that the show is really, "And that's how I met Aunt Robin." - that's what Ted tells the kids - with the way the narrative went, any ending apart from the one chosen would have been untrue, and unfair to the narrative. The show is about's Ted's love affair with Robin, and why she is the ultimate match for him.

So anyway.

 

How that was show not stupid? It just happened to be funny about it at times.
