Unlike tribbles though, Porgs are unlikely to reproduce the second they are born.

 

Well there were gizka in KOTOR. Looks like they also exist in canon, though there's no mention of super-multiplying abilities on Wookieepedia.

I think there might have been another creature like this, but don't remember what it was.

 

Given the count in the GFFA... Humans

 

The audience in the Exogol throne room is all the prior Sith.

 

In greek and roman myth, people believed the underworld and heaven to be actual physical places mortals could go to to plead to the gods or attempt to bring back lost loves despite unlikely outcomes and hard challenges.

Imagine, the GFFA had a similiar believe that death is a place where all go and are trapped that die. Mortis, world of apparitions? Exegol, where all the Sith go when they die? A place so strong in the dark side it literally manifests death and the dead? The netherrealm Vader visited in the arc with Lord Momin and the Mustafar castle portal fits the bill too.

If the Force is frequency based, like the temples on Jedha and Mustafar share a tuning forke design, then it depends on each ones personal frequency if one lives in heaven or hell... the lighter you get, the more you attune to the Force until merging with it, seeing ghosts, able to talk to the dead as the veil separating you and them thins. Or you attune yourself with the flesh and decaying part of life and are unable to connect to the dead, past or future and are trapped in your personal hell decaying slowly towards death.

 

For me, it is the entirety of Palpatine's cult of supporters ranging from politicians to businessmen to other supporters. Some of which had families that had served the Dark Side since Darth Bane. After Palpatine's death, they are all arrested by the Third Republic and it results in a total collapse of the Sith's Secret Empire.

 

By the time of Legacy I expect with black market Vong tech on a high as per Jariah Syn, that tech ships are outfitted with Vongtech like weird bio-tech-cyborg ships to implement the best of both worlds. Imagine a Blockade Runner using micro-blackhole shields! Or an explorers vessel using Vong gravity tech to negate dangerous gravity effects in hard to pass/reach regions like the Unknown Regions border, the Deep Core or other previously unpasseable nebulae and asteroid or debris fields.

 

Dude. That sounds amazing. They really needed to do more with Yuuzhan Vong Tech.

 

Here are a few more of my personal headcanons for Star Wars, some have probably been mentioned on here, some haven't. I tried to keep most of them consistent with Canon, but it doesn't really matter. There's probably some more I can't remember, but this is most of the major ones.


- Alien: Exodus is how humanoid species arrived in the GFFA, but due to a lack of physical evidence most Galactic Scholars disregard it as fiction.
- Palpatine fell to the Dark Side after a gangster woman he was engaged to left him and stole his inheritance.
- The Whills (Lucas ones) were responsible for the birth and creation of Anakin, along with Rey and Ben's Dyad.
- Palpatine started siphoning off resources to search for Exegol in the 10 years between Episodes I and II.
- Separatist corporate leaders frequently visited and held meetings at Canto Bight.
- Palpatine force-drained Padme from across the galaxy to force heal Vader.
- The discovery of the Chiss Ascendancy was a side effect of the Empire searching for Exegol.
- Exegol was created by Darth Bane as a last-resort sanctuary for the Sith if the Rule of Two failed.
- Sith Eternal Cultists were Exegol natives who Darth Bane indoctrinated and had harvest the core of Exegol to be used as a Star Forge-type energy source.
- The Alderaanian Kiss of Gratitude was a full-mouth kiss used by Alderaanians to show appreciation to friends or family, and was not romantic. This is the type of kiss Leia used on Luke.
- Palpatine discovered Exegol in the 3 years between Episodes IV and V, they helped with the fast construction of the Death Star II.
- Oma Tres worked as a songwriter for the Max Rebo Band, before leaving the band to open his own bar on Kijimi.
- The Imperial Dignitaries seen on the Death Star II were Sith Eternal Advisors.
- Rey's father was an attempt to splice the midi-chlorians of Palpatine and Vader, it failed and he ended up not being able to use the Force.
- Snoke was a hybrid of Plagueis's corpse and a Palpatine clone.
- Rey's mother's last name was Solana, which is what her and her father used while living on Jakku.
- After the Battle of Exegol there was a major Stormtrooper rebellion, which caused the fall of the First Order.

 

This is my Rise of the Skywalker headcanon:

* Rey Palpatine is actually the one the Prophecy of the Palpatine family holding back the forces of Chaos is about as mentioned in DARTH PLAGUEIS.

* Rey is actually Palpatine's grandniece rather than granddaughter. His family, like Hitler's in RL, was horrified by him and did their best to scatter to the wind after the Fall of the Empire.

* Rey's equivalent in Legends was the one @GrandAdmiralJello was so obsessed with crowning as Empress.

 

I headcanon that post Episode IX, as the galaxy heals, some new trouble arises for Rey alone:

Someone wants to get back to her for ruining his business and Sith allies, so he outs her as a Palpatine to the galaxy (much like Leia was outed as Vaders daughter). This "scandal" has a huge effect on some and conspiracy theories about the Palpatine and SkySolos arise postmortem as Rey, instead of finding support for her Jedi Academy gets denied any and has to go on the run from wannabe killers taking down the last Palpatine (much like the fools in Tales of the Jedi Redemption gunning for redeemed Ulic Quel Droma!).

In Exile thus she lives as she used to on Jakku for years as the galaxy searches in vain for her. Her friends and allies are sidelined or unable to protect her and find her and only in secret can new Forceusers be trained or find their way to the Force on their own. Due to all this the victory at Exegol is attributed to Lando and Poe and not the Forceusers among the Resistance.

15 years later a young girl finds her and wishes to be trained by her... the daughter of Finn and Rose. But when trouble follows er to Rey, she willingly lets herself be captured after proofing to be unkilleable too skilled in defense. Brought before the new governments trials, Chancellor Calrissian wishes to let her off the hook but is forced by others and his career to comply with the trial. Other forces try to turn the trial against her by stalling witnesses, friends and allies that could atest to her innocence. Head of Intelligence, Kaydel Connix investigates these meddlers behind the conspiracy and works with General Dameron, surpreme commander of the military to prevent any meddling. Ultimately though, Rey is freed by the judge and publicly the name of House Palpatine cleared of all crimes and sin as Rey had redeemed it. Starting her Jedi Academy decades later now after all with Finn and others, the last troublemakers had been found and taken care of by Intelligence and Military as Dameron and Connix uncovered the last Canto Bight Sith Cultists that got away after IX when the galaxy purged itself.

But as those went to prison indefinitely... their last promise was dreading over them all: "He will return! You can kill his followers, destroy the artifacts, temples and lore, but even death cannot hold him back forever anymore. He escaped it before, he will again!"

 

crossposted from the DotF topic and expanded here for headcanon:

The Eye of the Dark Side aka Web/bish (of) Bog(an) actually was originally Tor Valum. Wayfinders originally were Holocrons merely. Given we have only early versions of DotF and late final of TROS to compare I can still see the transition, even if the first and final versions seem different. Even if Palpatine and Mustafar were slapped on late, and Tor Valum/Oracle transported to Mustafar instead of that new planet or Mortis it can work.

Tor Valum as superancient is weird but may work if he is more an oracle, a "Prophet of the Dark Side" literally to add one more Jedi Prince reference to Episode IX's long list of usages from that series and Dark Empire. That'd explain why is no Dark Lord easier even if 7000 years old. But I still would add by earlier posted headcanon that he once was mobile and then trapped in an immobile body as parasite to the giant head-baby somehow via bodyhopping or such.

I'd even go so far as to make hellish Mustafar the physical representation of what the spiritual Mortis became. With green Mustafar as per ILMxLab having been the previous Mortis the Monolith like a giant Holocron kept a visonary world of for TCW to visit. Heck if Mustafar is the destroyed turned hellish real Mortis... then Vader's castle sits in the place of The Father's former castle.. with the excavations below bringing to light interesting earlier incarnations and maybe a Dagger of Mortis/Mustafar. One might even tie Lord Corvax to the Father of Mortis somehow. The healing of Mustafar and the new forrest and green patches TROS introduced would be an epic healing of Mortis then and even more symbolic of restoring balance to the world, the Force and the galaxy. The landscape of forrest and filming location that became Mustafar has some close resemblances to Mortis daylight beauty with forrests and mountains. And once burned they look quite etheral like the dark side Mortis tree-soul-esque glowtrees.

While previously I had Exegol be a Mortis analogue... Mustafar fits even better now, given TCW Mortis had lava rivers belowground and a cave for the Mortis Dagger! No wonder Anakin/the Chosen One/Vader is drawn to this hellish place that showed him his future once and transformed him soon after into his present state. Add the Marvel comics and ILMxLab appearances of a portal to the netherworld and easified interaction with the dead Vader experienced and this special place makes even more sense to be Mortis, the closest place he could come to the dead like Padmé ever.

=headcanoned=

 

Why the heck does this matter-

Aha.

 

Then we'd worry why Rey is no redhead... given Palpatine and hence his clone was one. Her mom too thus. But even more creepy for all we know Mara Jade could be Palpatines daughter... or granddaughter, his clone is dating then.

But having a canon Mara Jade and her not being a redhead? Criminal!!!

Then again, if the Palpaclone is a cross of Luke and Palpatines DNA... he is more of a Luuke. Funny if canon Mara Jade chose Luuke over Luke then and redeemed Luuke Palpatine. Was this Luuke Palpatine then raised by Snoke C'baoth complete with golden robes and all?

Is THAT the story on how Leia, Luke and Han knew of Snoke before the ST? The Luuke gambit from Legends canonified into an AU version for Disney?

So Mara went for Luuke. Snoke C'baoth survived Brakiss style as recurring pain in Luke's side. And Ben joined his Shadow Academy alongside Zekk Ren, Kyp Ren, Kam Ren and the Gang killing Kueller Ren to take over the Gang while his spiritual twin sister Rey lived Tahiris live, dreamed of being Jaina with an X-Wing and ultimate learned she is the heir to a monster like Tenel Ka despite preferring the simpler life.

That about sums it up I guess...

 

Visual headcanons:

The Hapes Consortium looks like the Corrino Imperium from Dune. (2000s miniseries not eighties movie). Not the Arrakis parts of it, mind you, but Caladan and Giedi Prime and... whatever the capital planet of the Imperium is.

The Tion Hegemony looks like the Centauri Republic from Babylon 5. A vestigial empire, once the greatest in the galaxy, but now a bit of a joke to most people. (Minus the Centauri's epic revival that takes place in the series).

The Corporate Sector... varies. The urban and developed parts of it look like a cyberpunk movie - think Blade Runner or The Fifth Element. The more rural and wild parts of it, however, where we spend much of the HSA, look like the Rim planets from Firefly. (This goes along with my general fan theory that Firefly is itself set in a cyberpunk style universe, and that that's what we'd see if we were in the inner planets - it's just that it's portrayed from the view of the cowboy drifters on the fringes, rather than the inner cities as in most cyberpunk). It seems to fit the general "futuristic dystopia, but with big business rather than big government running the show" vibe of the CSA.

I honestly don't have much of a developed mental picture for the Centrality, at least not one that matches any other media, because that place is just damn weird.

The Senex/Juvex Sectors. I don't know if I have a really developed picture of the entire place, but the aristocrats running it look like seventeenth century aristocrats as portrayed in the BBC's The Musketeers (mainly because the darker outfits of a lot of the people in there, especially villains like Richelieu or Rochefort or the various Spaniards, really match the tone of the place: even for an aristocracy, it's a seriously sadistic and messed up couple of sectors). On a more general note, I often draw from swashbuckler imagery when picturing aristocratic types from the galaxy at large, especially societies like Alsakan or Serenno with a major anti-government chip on their shoulder that really value those kinds of elites.

 

Ooooh you are spot on describing my visual headcanon for all of them!

Musketeers in space really fits the Senex/Juvex, and your other choices are pure gold also.

As for the Centrality and its weirdness I'd call a pulp scifi style like Masters of the Universe / Flash Gordon / John Carter of Mars maybe.

Though I see a more clothed version of Dejah Torris in Hapes too but mainly Dune/Corrinno.

Now as for Firefly, Corporate Sector and Blade Runner (perfect match again!), you should look at Killjoys tv show perfectly marrying those looks with fringe and urban locations as well as the Dark Matter tv series. All shooting for the same style and feel you described.

 

The planet is called Kaitain.

 

Killjoys is on my to-watch list. I liked the lead actress in Ant Man and Ready Player One and the basic premise sounds like it's in my wheelhouse.

All your suggestions for the Centrality are good.

 

Ah, thank you. I remembered scenes from the miniseries being set there, but don't think they ever called it that... and "Salusa Secundus" was preventing me from remembering it.

 

Dune has a lot of planets but only a few are named in the books (Frank Herbert's and Brian Herbert's).

Arrakis/ Rakis / Dune, Kaitain, Giedi Prime / Gammu, Caladan / Dan, Salusa Secundus, Bela Tegeuse, Wallach IX, Richese, Ix, Chapterhouse, Buzzell, Ginaz, Corrin, Poritrin, Harmonthep (a lost satellite of Delta Pavonis), Chusuk, Balut, Hagal, Junction, Kirana III, Komider, Pincknon, Relicon, Ros-Jal, Rossak, Seneca, Vertree, Zanbar, Alpha Corvus, Parmentier, Quadra, Ularda, Walgis, Yondair, IV Anbus, Ecaz, Souci, Tlulax / Tleilax, Yardin just to name a few...

 

I had a headcanon that was similar, only she in the Unknown Regions and the Grysk attacked the larger galaxy and Fin and Poe had to go get Rey.

 

I like to think Leia eventually regaled Luke and Han and their children about Galen Marek, the Sith apprentice who helped found the rebellion.

His deceptions, and his sacrifice.

 

And young Ben Solo with big eyes listened and the only things that stuck with him were: Darth Vader's Apprentice started the Rebellion and both were heroes. Sith founded the Rebellion and are good guys. Luke is bad for killing Vader and lying about him killing Palpatine while Vader did it while Luke was too weak on the floor!
