See Marauders made you believe that... That is how clever manipulators they are. You'd never think they are the true nemesis.

That’s how Jixtus portrays them in the Ascension trilogy. In the first of the new canon trilogies, they’re more like traditional marauders, if secretive and very feared. But that discrepancy has made some people theorize that the Grysks from the first trilogy may actually be a client species.

Either way, didn’t the Marauders of Endor go primitive because they’d been marooned for a century? I can’t say much about it since I haven’t watched the movies. But the poster and images made me think of the Grysks. Also the concept art.

 

A somewhat minor one:

I've always found the present scenes in "The One Below" to be difficult to place continuity wise since it gives the impression that Yaddle is being named a member of the Jedi Council in that very scene. However, Plo Koon already appears to be on the council by this point, which places it after the Stark Hyperspace War. However, I feel that Yaddle would have been on the council for a lot longer than that, especially since she trained Oppo Rancisis who has been on the council since at least 89 BBY as per Legacy of the Jedi (or 232 BBY if we One-Canon the High Republic into the timeline). It would seem strange to call Yaddle's status as a Jedi Master into question when one of her Padawans has already been made a Master and Councilor.

My reconciliation for this (other than ignoring the present-day scenes in the comic which is the easy way out and thus less fun) is to say that Yaddle has been on the council for a long time and that Yoda has already had reservations about her status but has kept it mostly to himself. After the Stark Hyperspace War however, something caused Yoda to voice his objections and call Yaddle's place on the council into question, only for Even Piell (who I see as being either a friend and/or former student of Yaddle's) to shut him up by reminding them all of what she went through on Koba.

 

Ah, I see. I underestimated their cunning.

That would be the logical deduction, but I think the actual lore articles and side materials suggested the marauders from the film are the same ones that crashed in the first place rather than their descendants, and that they didn't understand how spaceships worked even when they were operating as space pirates. Which frankly made no sense to me, which is why it has stood out my mind so strongly, but that is what I recall it being.

 

To be fair, I think the Thrawn books either state or imply that the Grysks don’t create their own technology but rely on their client species for this. So it may not be the wildest thing that, in the absence of their regular supply line or their servant races, they might become somewhat less cunning than they are at their best. But like I said, I haven’t watched the Ewok movies, so maybe the Marauders are more splendidly stupid than I can imagine.

 

Don't create their own technology? Makes one wonder if they even have or use tech at all... or rather... biotechnology

 

In the History Books of the Republic and the Empire the Je'daii Order is remembered but is not mentioned as an Order of Force Users or the Ancestors of the Jedi but a group of Monks

 

This subject, figuring out a more specific and clearly defined take on the Legacy Council, should be it's own thread!

Nyna Calixte at the very least is indeed a Grand Moff, as several issues specifically identify her as such in the opening introduction texts. It stood out to me, yet there doesn't seem to be any mention of it in her Wook page, so somebody has an opportunity to add that information.

One could assume that all her peers on the Moff Council/Moff High Council/etc were also Grand Moffs, but they also each apparently govern a Sector AND a branch of the Imperial government, unless each branch of the Imperial government is considered a Sector unto itself?

There are still subordinate Moffs, though we don't see much besides Moff Gromia on Tatooine...

Veed is also specifically called the High Moff, but it isn't clear if that's an actual Rank or just a Position...

The whole matter is a bit of a mess, in terms of internal consistency. It's also a mess visually, as Rank Insignias change multiple times in the same issues.

Yeah, the whole matter really could be sorted out better than it was. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that was bothered by it when Legacy was still ongoing.

 

The whole Moff Council membership of LOTF and FOTJ was a mess. Then again, NJO really didn't help either.

We know from SOTP there were eight Moffs. But in NJO, particularly Remnant, it's implied there were more than eight considering the survivors ratio to the line that much of the Moff Council was killed when Bastion fell. We know Flennic, Saretti, Crowal and Freyborn survived, that's half the council but there were likely others as implied in the dialogue.

It wasn't established until Essential Atlas, which came out after LOTF that showed the Remnant got bigger post-Vong War.

It's an incredible mess.

 

I've always interpreted it that High Moff is a Minister-level, cabinet position, hence 'High Moff Council' referenced in the Legacy Comics. Essentially a replacement of the old Ministers and Imperial Advisors, so essentially you have.
High Moff - Cabinet-level position, head of specific departments such as military as a whole, navy/army individually, diplomacy, security, etc.
Grand Moff - still run Oversectors, but probably fewer of them around, depending on how much an Oversector is.
Moff - Sector-level management.

 

-Treze is the distant ancestor of Zeen (both are pink mirilians associated with the path of the open hand, and the book made a point of highlighting Treza's fatherhood)

-The Kage people have historically been divided into many warring clans, which the Belugans exploited to conquer the planet.

-The Kage are descended from Umbaran colonists trapped on Quartzite do to its atmospheric pressure, making them the off-shoot of an off-shoot.

-Pantorans are similarly an off-shoot of wroonians as are Aruzans.

-While the children of the watch disprove of the practice, many warrior clans made beskar weapons, as much for penetrating the armor of rivals as clashing with lightsabers.

In the New Canon the Chosen One is Rey not Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader maybe the Force chose an Heir of Palpatine to be the one to defeat the Emperor and actually restore the Jedi Order

In Legends the Chosen One is not clear in Legends the Chosen One could be interpreted in many ways the Chosen One could be Ulic Qel-Droma, Revan, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus, Jaina Solo for creating the Fel Empire a Good Empire or Cade Skywalker for destroying the Last Sith Master Darth Krayt

In Legends Palpatine was Born just like Anakin Skywalker Cosinga Palpatine was Right Palpatine was not his Son he was Born with the Force Palpatine Family was Chosen by the Force just like Shmi Skywalker was Chosen to have Anakin

 

Antinnis Treymane was captured along with the Rebirth.

 

Grand Moff 4-8C seems to only be Grand Moff of the Imperial Redesign Team, so I'm not so sure if High Moff can qualify for that as it appears Grand Moffs can fit that bill. In fact, I think old sourcebooks claimed that Tarkin was Grand Moff of both the Outer Rim and Grand Moff of the Death Star Project [its own priority sector.]

 

In the Star Wars Multiverse except for Infinites the only Stories that occur the same are the 6 Original Movies the Prequels and the Original Trilogy everything that occurs before the Prequels or after the Original Trilogy or during the Movies could be different

Ferus Olin in Legends is a Fusion of many New Canon/Disney Universe Characters combined into one Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger, Kanan, Cal Kestis, Ferus Olin fulfills the Role of those Characters in Legends

I want to believe that Zayne Carrick also existed in the New Canon Universe and Ezra Bridger is Zayne Descendant in the New Canon

 

Darth Cognus Second Apprentice was Set Harth

For me the Apprentice Story from Star Wars Tales issue 17 occurs after the Era of Darth Cognus i dont understand why they made that this Story of Tales occurs during the New Sith Wars if the Sith Master and his Apprentice they act like Rule of Two Banite Sith so make sense that this Story occurs after Darth Cognus for me the Sith Master of this Story of Tales is Darth Gravid

 

Darth Vectivus was a master of phantoms and illusions, to the point that he was also a master of selfdelusion living in an asteroid kingdom made up of ghosts and dreams but not real people. Loosing touch with reality supplied by his imaginary friends and family, he would die there. How can he train an apprentice though? Someone came to the asteroid and pretended to be one of his illusions in order to learn his secrets before he died. This one decreed that in order to not fall prey to selfdelusion and ones own illusion powers, one has to constantly suffer to be reminded what is real and what is fake. Thus his life became suffering in his choice of armor, his choice of lifestyle and his choice of masterhood. For only those able to bear the suffering will be strong enough to not succumb to pleasure and take on the duty of the Sith, to strife for dominance and power so that not illusion but reality shaped by strength will give them the pleasures for real.

 

Strictly my theory, unless it was too subtly implied by the various EU writers who dealt with Darth Andeddu. If Andeddu was really dead all along and simply fooling everybody through a powerful Force Illusion and trickery, then when exactly did he die? Just how long was he pulling it off? And most notably, did he even really survive Corbos at all? He was indisputably one of the Exies, but what if he didn't actually survive Corbos and merely then used the Illusion to make it seem like his body was still animated? What if he was actually already dead even before Corbos? I guess nobody ever checked his body for a pulse? He just looked to be alive and so nobody looked too closely? Even his appearance wouldn't raise too many issues given how much the Dark Side physically corrupted and drained those who used it.

So, the Exile that would become known as Darth Andeddu didn't actually survive Corbos! Even then he was using the Force illusion to fool everybody around him into believing that his body was still alive, and he was able to pull it off for some time after he and his fellow Exiles arrived on Korriban. After Dreypa and Syn rebelled against Ajunta Pall over whether or not to return to the Republic, somebody must have realized that he wasn't actually alive and that was when everyone turned on him, as both Pall (in Kotor) and Andeddu himself claimed that they desired and tried to steal his secrets.
