Shaak Ti took the spot of Ahsoka Tano during the Rebellion period in Legends. As in, she was one of the head informants of the early rebellion spy network (along with Rahm Kota and other factions) until her death on Felucia.

 

Some headcanon about the unnamed members of the Shadow Council in the Mandalorian:

• Lon Donell (I was tempted to make him High Admiral Teradoc, but the character is refered to as "commander" by Pellaeon as if he's a lower ranking officer and Donell seems like a good fit as an alternative if we assume he just promoted himself a few ranks): pirate kingpin operating out of the Barpine system
• Ysanne Isard: ex head of COMPNOR/OIP, now ruling as the Dictator of Thyferra.
• Arndell Lott: repersenting the Eriadu Authority on behalf of Superior General Delvardus.
• Grand Moff Randd (he has to be in somewhere and the guy pictured is the one who seems to fit best): head of Imperial forces in the Queluhan Sector.
• Kaplan.
• Malfkla Yzu (either genderbent or trans): repersenting a coalition of Deep Core warlords.

Additionally, Hux is repesenting the proto-FO on behalf of Grand Admiral Sloane and Pellaeon is nominally the repersentative of the Teradoc brothers but remains a strong voice speaking on behalf of the still-MIA Thrawn.

Re. the Moff Council and it's structure, maybe it's something like this.

• The six LOTF moffs are all High Moffs controlling multipule sectors after the Empire expanded following the Vong War (not quite full-sized oversectors, but more like "sector blocks")
• During the reforms of Fel I, the council was restructured as an executive body (hence why it's members seem to hold ministerial positions), with a legislature below them that actually repersented Imperial worlds. The members are high moffs, but the head of the council is a grand moff (let's presume that Veed was not head of the council when the Sith coup took place, but rather the acting head for an unseen member who was'nt present becuase he was trapped elsewhere by the coup and killed becuase he was a stuance Fel loyalist). Each member of the council is appointed from the ranks of the Empire's regular moffs, hence the "we all control a sector" line (they have independent power outside of that they derive from the council as ministers.

 

I would suggest making Veed a Supreme Moff. Its the rank Tarkin aspired to in the ANH Novelization, and we can infer that it would've been a bone thrown to him to replace Amedda/Pestage, possibly. So we can guess that the rank was made, but no one ever occupied it until the Moffs fully replaced the Imperial Ruling Council.

 

Regarding the Mando tv Shadow Council:

I love that they truly feel like Warlords in how they dress, but given ranks and projects they feel more like the Council is no Mofference, but rather a practical assembly of all branches of the Empire's Remnants. Also that Council members seem not to be fixed but can send proxys to speak in their name is practical depending what is discussed at hand. It even seemed as some are more science focussed (Hux) while others are more army (unnamed guy) or navy focussed (Pellaeon) or maybe even intel (either Gideon or that unnamed Lady?).

So we can have the FO via Sloane / Hux etc. alternating between those two. I wonder from where Hux operates if these are the Warlords that have to be careful to not draw NR attention at figuring out concerted efforts. Either Hux and FO are in the UR still, then they are safe to play around more than the others and have more ressources to spare and send to Gideon like he did, or Hux left the UR to have a base as a Warlord somewhere. Given Project Necromancer I do wonder... will it be Mount Tantiss in Live Action after Bad Batch will be done with it after Season 3?
I hope Project Necromancer uses the "No one's ever really gone" quote in a creepy way when introducing their zombies of some thought to be dead characters. They need to get Kemp back to author some books around that!


For a splitsecond when seeing the asian Imperial on the Council I was all like... Roganda Ismaren, is that you?

I headcanon that Shaak Ti's every death is canon and that gave the Sith quite a headache in how that can be. The trick she pulled was Force Doppelganger, which she is a secret Master thereof. She used it to evade many a death until TFU.

Also she was mistaken for Ahsoka and vice versa several times by people unable to keep them apart in their adult years leading to some confusion who of them actually did what for the Rebellion.

 

Contrary to Kreia's predictions, Brianna became a Jedi Battlemaster rather than a historian, a role that is better suited (and already filled) by Mical. It was because of the influence of her Echani teachings that Jedi Guardians took to wearing armor even before the Sith Empire invaded at the start of TOR, as Brianna felt that, once the Exile vanished and did not return with Revan, the Jedi would need the extra protection and training for when the Sith did eventually arrive.

 

The Legends Universe existed first in the Star Wars Universe and started from Dawn of the Jedi to Legacy Comics Era Years after Legacy the Legends Universe was Destroyed or Reborn maybe by the Celestials or the Whills and then the Disney Universe was Born started with Dawn of the Jedi again until and after Rise of Skywalker Era this Change of Universes happen in similar way like in the DC Universes with the Flashpoint or Crisis on Infinite Earths

In Legends Bria Tharen Stole only a part of the Death Star Plans, Kyle Katarn and Rianna Saren Stole the other parts

 

I have a weird headcanon... well it is based in a halfremembered dream I had and I didn't bother to check facts on how to make it even work:

Cal Kestis will get the nickname "Katarn" after the Kashyyyk predator one day.
Then he will one day settle down on one of Sullust's moons with his wife and kid under the alias Morgan Katarn, naming their son Kyle, a variation of Cal.
His Jedi friend Qu Rahn shares some backstory with his other Jedi friend, Cere.
His droid at one point got trashed to need a new chassis and they built him the one of Morgan Katarns family droid from the Kyle Katarn Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games.

note I did not play Jedi Survivor yet, nor watch any youtube spoilers about it, but will soon.

 

It's as if canon is working towards OneCanon given how easily they git the pasts together. Not just Zahn with his Chissverse, or the comics pulling from Legends and adding to it. They expand the Sith in all directions to the ultimate nemesis for SW... just wait for the Vong being inpired by the Sith too... they resurrect the original Invasion storyline with darksiders from another galaxy and bring in Vong aesthetics.

I mean, Sith exiles reaching a satellite galaxy far out? Why not... helping the Vong against the Abominor and Silentium?
Or... how do Sith droids operate? No limitations like the normal galaxy ones? Always a threat to their masters to keep them on their toes, much like apprentices, or rather as enslaved as one can get and more limited than average galaxy droids? Imagine a droid reaches the satellite galaxy of the Vong, and infects the Abominor with Sith lore... guess the Vong would be shocked to meet a nice guy that teaches them the Force and Dark Side... only to learn he is no guy but a HRD droid that after loosing part of his skin, freaks them out and they trash it. But damage is done culturally and the lore is out of the bag.

 

My headcanon: the Aristocra Formbi we see in Survivor's Quest is actually a clone of the original Formbi from Outbound Flight, with a bit of Thrawn's flair for tactics inserted. It would explain his attitude change between the two events.

 

The equivalent of Salla Zend in Disney Canon is Sana Starros

The equivalent of Bria Tharen in Disney Canon is Divided into 2 Different Characters Qi'ra and Jyn Erso Qi'ra was born on Corellia just like Bria and Jyn Erso had Brown Hair like Bria both Jyn and Bria stole the Death Star plans and both died sacrificing themselves i know Jyn never met Han in Disney Canon but i think both Characters combined have the role of Bria Tharen

Kerra Holt and Serra Keto are Descendants of Bastila Shan, Satele Shan, and Revan during the New Sith Wars and Clone Wars

 

For me Kerra Holt and Serra Keto are Descendants of Bastila and Revan because they are too similar and i like the idea that there are Descendants of Bastila and Revan in New Sith Wars and Clone Wars

 

A nashuaga is a type of bird native to Dromund Kaas.

 

One Canon placement headcanon for Visions season 2.

Spoiler

The Old Republic: Sith, Journey to the Dark Head
The High Republic: Screecher's Reach
Reign of the Empire: In the Stars, The Spy Dancer, The Pit, The Bandits of Golak
The New Republic: I Am Your Mother

The only one I am unsure of is Aau's Song. That could take place in either The Old Republic or the High Republic, I think.

 

Spoiler

Since @Morgoth333 suggested that Korba might actually be Corbos, it is my headcanon that Aau's Song is set during the Old Republic era, farther back than any of the other shorts. Like if we place all the shorts in chronological order, The Duel would come first and then Aua's Song would come next.

 

"The Book of Boba Fett" is just that, a book; specifically, a heavily sanitized autobiography or authorized biography with heavy interference. Parts where Fett comes off as perhaps not the most brilliant fellow are where he doesn't want to reveal what *really* happened but at the same time can't come up with a good cover (he's not a writer, after all). (Or, in the authorized or ghostwritten version, these are where the real author is getting passive-aggressive about the restrictions they're working under.)

 

I’m pretty sure Grand Moff Wilkadon took over the Greater Seswenna.

 

I don't even think that's lazy: IMO it makes perfect sense.

Minor note, I've changed my mind on the guy in army trooper gear to being Immodet, for the following reasons:

• In Legends Immodet was on the remnant's closest equiviliant to the Shadow Council.
• Gann was evidently a minor warlord (hench why my earlier list linked him to Delvardus), while Immodet controlled forces that occupied "several entire sectors" along the border of the New Republic.
• The Eriadu Authority seems more likely to have been an independent thing concerned only with the integrity of Eriadu's borders. I doubt they'd care about some sort of grand agenda.
• The appearence of one of Devian's supporters is identical to Immodet, and Devian's "Restored Empire" would seem to fit pretty well with the agenda of the proto-FO post-Imperials.

The way I'm looking at it Yzu is pretty much just the appointed spokesperson of the various Deep Core remnants* (including the future replacement warlords), who have formed a loose confederacy.

*minus Teradoc and Delvardus, who in canon I'm imagining are still based in their original holdings due to the less aggressive nature of the New Republic.

I think I just misremembered LOTF, lol

Only in Legends; in canon they don't have a name (yet)

In canon the only appearance of the Marauders (where their species is unnamed) has them using technology just fine and flying around in an old Munificent frigate; which aligns with the Gryst using ships they did'nt build (Corona-class Frigates) in the Thrawn books.

Maybe the Gryst/Mauraders were Vong scouts who "went native", and they use salvaged ships and have trouble understanding conventional technology becuase their so used to biotech they don't properly understand mechanical tech?

Was Roganda supposed to look asian? I guess she was, no that I look more closely at some of her pictures...

I always headcannoned her as a dark-haired Natalie Dormer, but now that I realize that maybe someone like Kelly Hu would be better?

I actually really like this idea: it reconiles Yoda's vision in TCW with TFU better then my "it was just a vision of a possible future" does.

 

The Emperor’s Harem is comprised entirely of female Emperor’s Hands, hence the apparent female domination of the group. The Emperor never “uses” them for their official role but this serves as valuable cover for them to frequent the Imperial Palace and have private audiences with him.

 

I felt like it was pretty obvious that Yoda's vision in TCW was only a vision of a possible future. For example, the vision showed Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Luminara Unduli, Eeth Koth, and Plo Koon all fighting clones together. This never happened, though it is obviously meant to represent Order 66. And during his duel with the Jedi Masters in the vision, Palpatine has his hood up (which he didn't in the movie) and he kills Eeth Koth instead of Agen Kolar (it is clearly meant to be Eeth Koth too since his lightsaber is green instead of blue).

 

Luke and Palpatine:
Luke Skywalker found out that Palpatine was alive before the fall of Ben Solo. Though Luke wasn't able to find Exegol, he did have a mental or astral battle with Palpatine which Luke won thus damaging Palpatine's spirit. Before this Palpatine was almost strong enough to make his triumphant return, but Luke's victory destroyed years of progress for Palpatine and he was forced to continue the use of proxies.

Even though Ben fell to the dark side and destroyed Luke's temple, Luke didn't give up. He went to Ahch To which basically acts as a light side counterpart to Exegol, it keeps the power of Exegol in check. With Luke now residing on Ahch To he kept Palpatine's powers in check, which means that as long as Luke remains on Ahch To Palpatine can't reach his full power on Exegol.
That's why Luke was so cold towards Rey to begin with. Luke knew that he couldn't leave because then Palpatine would return. Luke also knew that Rey was a Palpatine and knew what great danger Rey could do in the hands of Palpatine. So Luke basically put on a role so that Rey would not discover the truth. Though Rey changed something in Luke, he realized that he can't do everything on his own and that he needs to have faith in other people. So Luke eventually choose to sacrifice himself for Leia and the Resistance, which leads to Palpatine being able to make his existence to the galaxy clear.

War in the Netherworld:
Palpatine in TROS was different from the Palpatine we know, he wasn't that super manipulative master politician anymore but rather a Sith fanatic. In TROS Palpatine was all about the survival of the Sith and their ultimate victory. The way I view it Palpatine was at this point nothing more than a servant to the dark side.
I suggest that Palpatine didn't immediately transfer his spirit to Exegol, but that he did in fact die at Endor and spent some time in the Hell section of the Netherworld. Even though Palpatine had made the necessary preparations for his survival on Exegol something went wrong and Palpatine did in fact die.

In the Sith underworld Palpatine realized that he wasn't at the top of the hierarchy. In the Netherworld the spirits of powerful Sith lords had gathered in a council and did what they could to strengthen the dark side. Palpatine was their last shot at ultimate victory, therefore they decided that Palpatine must return to the mortal plane to finish the Sith plan. Thus the cultists on Exegol carried out a ritual while the Sith spirits guided Palpatine's spirit into his inferior clone body. So the Palpatine we see in TROS was a Palpatine that had become an agent of a greater evil.
I further suggest that while Luke had his hidden war against Palpatine and Leia had her war against the First Order, there was a spiritual war in the Netherworld between the spirits of the Jedi and the spirits of the Sith. They fought for control of the Force itself. This war continued all the way to the events of TROS and heavily influenced the outcome of the battle at Exegol. After Rey killed Palpatine at Exegol Palpatine's spirit once again passed to the Netherworld. In the Netherworld the Jedi and the Sith had one last spiritual battle where the Jedi led by Anakin Skywalker won a massive victory over the Sith and Anakin personally banished Palpatine to the deepest pits of Hell.

Yeah I know crazy ideas.
