I'm glad you asked! The Star Wars Book defined the High Republic era as taking place between c. 300-100BBY, which undoubtedly isn't exact, but it's a reasonable span. However, the press surrounding The Vow of Silver Dawn described the novel as taking place fifty years prior to The Phantom Menace and at the era of end of the High Republic. So Wookieepedia's editorial took that as 82BBY being the official end of the High Republic. That wouldn't frustrate me so much if I didn't see people in various communities taking the 82BBY date as gospel. I've even seen some publications say that it's the date for The Acolyte and speculating on its plot based on that date. I know that this is really irrational to be so annoyed about, but I always get annoyed when Wookieepedia's assumptions get taken as authoritative and then end up feedback-looped back into continuity. Anyway, this is the headcanon thread, so I have a headcanon that the most comprehensive historical document on Galactic history was written by a Wookiee.
(This one might be of interest to @ColeFardreamer, given his avatar pic.) I was re-watching the deleted scene with Bail Antilles, and I noticed something: After Amidala calls for a Vote of No Confidence, he shares a meaningful look with Agrippa and immediately jumps on it. I think, like Amidala, he also was annoyed and lacking faith in Valorum to get stuff done. He was probably thinking of pulling a similar move already. Granted I'm not really all that aware of his characterization in Legends, so maybe that was the case there. *shrugs*
Bail Antilles was a rival Chancellor candidate during the election, like Ainlee Teem of Malastare. Given those were the other favourites aside Palpatine they must have had quite the support beforehand already and maybe prepared for the election whenever Valorums term would have been up naturally (when would that have been again?). Bail Antilles as per Legends was actively campaigning anti-corruption, even more so than Palpatine yet people voted Palpatine fearing less from him than from Bail Antilles the idealist. It is interesting though, Bail is the only Core World candidate, the Rim has two in Palpatine and Teem. Yet humanity has two candidates as opposed to Teem the only Alien candidate! So the choice between human from Core, human from Rim and Alien from Rim seems like a fixed deal already. Most humans would elect a human, the Core would vote for a Coreworlder, the Rim for a Rimmer, but it is not as easy as that. Bail's Alderaanian policy and stace flies in the face of many companies and worlds that live from ship and weapons production and might vote Rim despite being in the Core. Was Valorum even up for a reelection in that election after the no confidence vote? Probably not, but if so he might be the second Core candidate. With him out of the race, some Corevoters votes went to the Rim to not get bogged down by Alderaanian politics and pacifism. Palpatine had to sway less voters to his cause by the Force than one might think given the natural setup of this election. More manipulation beforehand than actual vote swaying.
Pantorans and Wroonians are the same species, with the different names denoting whether they're from Pantora or Wroona. I imagine one planet is a colony for the other. I mainly have this headcanon to explain how Chi Eekway can be a Pantoran representing Wroona (though I feel that she was originally intended to be a Wroonian before TCW made her and Papanoida Pantorans).
That's already stated to be "believed true in the Legendsverse": https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Pantoran/Legends The Pantorans shared many traits with other blue-skinned races, especially the Wroonian species, and, to a lesser extent, the Chiss,[1] and were believed to be an offshoot of the former.[5]
With the Legends notion that Chiss are a human offshoot of a lost colony millennia back, I wonder if the short timespan of millennia that made them different can be explained better if an already existing offshoot of humanity was their foundation. Like Wroonians or Pantorans. That'd allow a longer evolution of the skincolor and traits and only add the red eyes as last bit and haircolor changes.
Given that both "black" and "blue" hair colours are found within Pantorans, that could work, just leaving the red eyes and maybe slight forehead ridging/bulging.
The Ghost's crew existed (in my mostly-Legends headcanon), and they formed a part of a rebel cell. Kanan and Ezra were not Jedi, however. As such, they didn't cross paths with such high profile Imperial figures like Tarkin, Vader, Thrawn or the inquisitors. And their exploits were nowhere as over-the-top as depicted in Rebels.
My own thing about Pantorans, Wrooians, and Chiss - skin color turning blue is apparently a common human adaptation to cold weather environments, a side effect of certain biochemical processes that allowed them to live in cold temperatures without fur. And on the topic of near-humans: Zeltrons were the result of a group of ethical hedonists genetically modifying themselves into the ultimate expression of their ideas. They also worship Slaanesh
Galactic laws exist that prohibit large starships from traveling near the vicinity of inhabited planets, so as to prevent incidents of ships losing control and hitting the planet's surface. This is also generally observed as a convention of war, as space battles are mostly fought away from inhabited worlds...although oftentimes military commanders will cheat and violate the convention if they think it will give them an edge or a better chance at escape.
Make that hedonistic Red sith and you are right on track... now we know what became of all the happy, funny, nice Red Sith. Overdosed on emotion!
Interbreeding with humans made them go away over time? Or maybe they genetically tampered with themselves to become more universally appealing to other species that did not like them? Likewise the pheromone-control added to their odor. To combine some theories I had over time in this topic: The Sith species is quite diverse and like Twilek and Humanity got lots of skincolors. The Red Sith are the most famous obviously, but we have so far confirmed also gree and yellow skincolors in other castes althrough rare (at least in the media that uses them). Due to that fact, I once joked only blue Sith is missing and retconned the Chiss Species to be a blue Sith offshoot (hence the Rebels tv ridge on the forehead that got less prominent in later episodes and might have been a play on voice actor Mikkelsens forehead). Now, with Zeltrons added to the lot as pink Sith, as in Red Sith crossed with human blood. Lets add another angle. We know of another species dealing in pheromones and having a prominent forehead ridge: Falleen. Are they an offshoot of Green Sith? Then we could tie them all into one species evolutionary family. Though the Nightbeast / Green Massassi was the result of an experiment turning a Red Massassi Sith into a green nightbeast. Kalgrath, as was his name. Also the Sith species over time had some weird descriptions that already contradict each other in books, some said they are of mammallian descent, others of insectoid even given early Massassi comic looks. Now with Falleen added to the mix as reptilian, it all seems incompatible. But lets not forget that Falleen themselves share mammallian features as in breasts (issue of much debate and retcons on its own!). So one could turn it around either way. Still I advocate more color variety with the Sith species. One might even say the Sith were a species that originated as a culture of various species and over time consisted of all kinds of originators and somehow (science? the Force?) managed to merge all these mammallian, reptilian, insectoid origins into one species. Biologists may cry out impossible, but hey it is scifi fantasy wonderland. I think It'd be fun to have the Sith, whose Old Tongue ur-kittat was the uniting galactic language pre-Basic/Aurebesh long before the Rakata or Jedi, as the ultimate result of interspecies mingling and experimentation ending in a union and merger of various qualities of them all to achieve selfperfection.
Darth Siberus from Dark Legends is probably the Sith Lord associated with the carbonite-frozen Revan-era Sith Trooper army from the end of Forces of Corruption.
From The Sleep of Ages: Spoiler She was, in fact, a Sith named Darth Siberus, who, fearing that she might grow old and no longer facing a worthy opponent in all the galaxy—for her were was great and her enemies all conquered—had devised a plan to extend her life and her beauty until such a time that a new power should rise and with it a new people worthy of ruling. So it was that she sealed herself away in carbonate to see out the eons, allowing her empire to crumble all around her. Beforehand, however, she seeded tales of a wealthy princess throughout Wild Space and beyond so that in the future great heroes might seek her out to rouse her. She was soon forgotten, all except for those whispered tales, which were passed on from mother to child throughout the centuries. Every few generations, a new child was born who heard of this long-lost princess and in time followed her trail of breadcrumbs, taking on the many challenges she had placed in their path. They found her and revived her from the carbonite—only to discover she was no princess but a Sith who, upon waking, extracted from them the life energies needed to preserve her form in pristine beauty, eradicating every wrinkle, every line, and returning her to her glorious youth. Then, looking again at the galaxy and seeing there was still no one worthy of her attention, she would return to her long sleep, knowing that one day her time would come and she would be beautiful, and ready. So essentially it is a life-preservation scheme, along with a desire to seek new challenges to conquer.
Headcanon, the Nagai are the descendants of the very first human STL expeditions, they left Coruscant after the Zhell-Taung wars, and eventually reached Companion Besh. The evolutionary changes(greyish skin color and lithe appearance) have as much to do with time spent on ships as they do on Nagai's environment. The Chiss are marginally younger and are more adapted to Csilla than long term space flight.
So the Tof then are... in relation to these Nagai? I mean, they literally are Anti-Hapans given their more voluminous appearance and still piracy theme. But, the obvious visual difference to slim Nagai aside, I like that a satellite galaxy may have different beauty standards than the main GFFA. Maybe Tof chic is in fashion there and the Nagai are the satellites emo outsiders... Green skin can relate to a variety of species as origin. Their haircolor is wildly different though to most green skinned species we have. But more interestingly, their spaceships look like literal ships in space... metal ships though, not wooden like Lord Valenthyne Farfallas Spacewood fleet. Maybe metal-ships in space is an evolution from those or that era where spaceships looked like well ships. Then again new canon added to the spacewood mystery by making Wookiee spaceships a special sort of wood that works as well in space as metal. So maybe there is a connecting factor to all these "spaceship looks like actual ships" cultures and another between "we use wood in space" cultures.
This was my first thought too, but Tof do not look like a plantbased diet lol! Does too much rain and sunlight have them go fat? Much to ponder! But Zelosians had more green-ish hair and the skin was less green even if slightly greenish only. Also, if sugar intoxicates them... didn't we see Tof eating lots of it and enjoying sweets aplenty? Does that rule them out or make them a special breed of Zelosian? https://www.starwars.com/news/welcome-to-the-star-wars-jungle Be glad Tof did not keep Zelosian clothing (or lack of clothing) habits!
