    It took me a long time just to accept that the Megador wasn’t a simple Bellator and an actual Vengeance-class. I don’t think I’m ready to accept it as a twin of the Supremacy.

    The Megador has 16 engines. The Supremacy, approximately 32.

    Would the "Megador is Mega-class" idea reconcile this with the approach that the Megador's 16 engines were found to be underpowered for their size, and that in this particular case, 2 small engines was found to do a better job than 1 large one, so the Supremacy was fitted with 2 small engines in each of the slots the Megador filled with single big ones?

    The Megador being a prototype is a thought.

    Darth Vader secretly loves to dance to Coruscanti house music. One of the stormtroopers accidentally saw him once. He did not survive.

    Now, that, I could accept. But a massive behemoth like the Supremacy seems just too much for the Battle of Shedu Maad. If a proper Mega-class arrived at the Throat, I think the Hapan Fleet would be fleeing for their lives. Iron Fist was helpless in the yards against Isolder’s fleet. The Supremacy would have decimated the Hapan Home Fleet.

    Once the Alliance actually formed, the color-themed squadrons were assigned to Alliance High Command, which is why we saw Gold, Red, Green, and Blue Squadron at Scarif. Gray Squadron wasn't there because it was detached to Alliance Intelligence helping Cracken with what was keeping him busy during Rogue One (the Visual Guide says he was setting up spy networks in the Outer Rim, but I can imagine Cracken also going a little hands-on attacking Imperial targets of opportunity along the way).

    Ohali Soroc found the Mortis Dagger. It rested in the most secure vault in the Jedi Temple on Ossus, until the Sith sacked it.

    Darth Nihl personally removed it from the Temple Vaults and brought it to Darth Krayt, who kept it in a locked chest deep within Korriban’s catacombs.

    The one thing Jedi and Sith can agree on is that Abeloth is a deadly threat that cannot be allowed to exist.

    And yet they fight over the thing that can end her and who is to keep it...

    Until they split the Mortis Dagger in two pieces that each faction will keep one, ensuring that only united Jedi and Sith may be able to ever defeat Abeloth! ... after they reforged the Mortis Dagger... Narsil style!

    This also ensures no faction can extinguish the other for the hiding place of the fragment is secret and never revealed if one goes extinct.

    The prototype idea works with the Viscount prototype being 3km and the production model 17km, etc etc.

    Let alone the Eclipse prototype being the Tarkin.

    I headcanon that the Grysk are just one more slave species of the Yuuzhan Vong sent in as advance force. Chazrach and them along many others will weaken the galaxy before their true masters arrive and are revealed.

    With Thrawn on to the Grysk trail already, another mysterious driving Force behind the Vong probing ventures into the GFFA pretending to be a mere familiar to its fellow traveler. A certain Fosh meets various people and seeds ideas with them that will grow over time. Among them are certain individuals like Snoke and Ezra Bridger. Thrawn and her coming face to face proofes a real challenge for both to outsmart the other before they depart wary of the others role in the future to come.

    My take on Vergere is that she was, in fact, a Sith student of Darth Plagueis but that she was trying to understand the Force better. She turned against Palpatine when he proved to be an evil psychopath rather than a persecuted religious minority.

    My take, Lumiya lied and A'sharad Hett was delusional from his time in captivity and twisted the words she said to fit with his fall to the dark side by the unknown being screwing with the galaxy from 25 ABY through to 45 ABY (and captured Jacen and replaced him with an antagonistic pain-in-the-backside perfect clone for the period).

    A shame because it makes Vergere and the Sith more interesting both. Mind you, I like the idea not all Sith are fascist psychopaths.

    Darth Krayt was already the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith by the time Darth Caedus ascended. Only one being can hold that title and the supremacy over the Dark Side that it grants. Caedus could never have truly triumphed over the Jedi as a Sith Lord because he wasn’t the Dark Lord. Krayt was always the true Master of the Sith.

    It explains so many things. Why Caedus was defeated again and again. Why he could never train a proper Sith Apprentice.

    Lumiya must have known this as well. Her hope must have been that Caedus would succeed enough to draw Krayt’s attention and spark a battle between them. Either forcing Krayt to accelerate the Sith Imperative or die at Caedus’s hands, thus thrusting the title of Dark Lord onto his shoulders.

    There can only be one ruling Sith Lord.

    Well, there have been as many as fourteen Dark Lords of the Sith at one time, arguably.

    IMO the problem with this is that so much of Luke and Vader's story arcs revolve around the corrupting influence and temptation of the Dark Side. "Once you start down the dark path it will forever dominate your destiny" and all that. The idea that one can use the Dark Side consistently and not become corrupted (or the idea of Gray Jedi being superior), kind of contradicts that, and has the bonus weird message "It's ok to be a *little* bit evil".

    It's like if a Breaking Bad episode focused on Jesse's addiction had a guest appearance by Seth Rogen doing all sorts of drugs and alcohol leading to a crazy comedy party.

    Uh.....for a former Jedi Master, she seemed pretty powerless to stop the First Order from levelling her castle. Perhaps the Force has abandoned her after so many years of exile.

    Aside from the deleted scene where she used the Force to collapse a dungeon ceiling onto a squad of stormtroopers.

    Also what you do and don't choose to do with your epic powers is kind of a recurring theme in this franchise.

    Poor Nahdar Vebb. What an idiot.

    I really like that episode, though. He's the great answer to most instances of "Why don't the Jedi just [do X / Y / Z with the Force!?]"

    Never seen it. Wasn't it a discarded concept? The TROS Guide mentions that Maz is not a front-line fighter, as she lacks combat abilities. Maz hasn't shown any powers beyond a low-key ability to see into people's hearts through their eyes.

    I had been re-watching that episode not long ago. Why didn't Kit Fisto just cut through the door to help him out? Also, Nahdar's death really wasn't his fault...he couldn't have known he would get separated from his master and he'd have to fight Grievous alone.

    Also the moral of the episode seems really iffy. Why is aggression in this particular instance wrong, whereas the Jedi fighting the overall war is okay? Why is it perfectly fine to send Obi-Wan to assassinate Grievous later, but not for Nahdar Vebb to do it?

    From what I recall, the moral is about power and control, not specifically against "taking action" in general.

    Vebb used the Force like it was his own personal plaything, had no respect for it whatsoever, got drunk on a misguided sense of power and then got himself killed.

    "Wars not make one great". Being a Jedi Master doesn't necessarily mean combat focused, especially if she was from a more peaceful era. Besides, if Maz *was* a Jedi Master, she was probably an unconventional one. A typical master wouldn't later leave and become known as a Pirate Queen.

    Also despite what the TROS guide might say about her not being a fighter, we see her donning a jetpack and blaster in TLJ.
