Lit The One Canon

Here's a thought that came to me while doing some genealogical work for the Skywalker-Solos.

The obscure Legends RPG character Danielle Kieran is notable for considering herself an illegitimate child of Han Solo's. Her birthdate is listed as 13 BBY; isn't that around the time that Han would have known Qi'ra in the One Canon? Should Dani be considered the daughter of Qi'ra and Han?

 

It's possible, though Most Wanted says Han and Qi'ra don't even meet until 13 BBY (they're 18 in both that and Solo's opening), so it'd be a pretty quick turnaround.

 

So has Han's age been pushed back if he was 18 in 13 BBY?

 

In canon; he's born in (roughly) 32 BBY.

Although actually that makes me realize Most Wanted's probably in the year before Solo, because he's 19 in the film, not 18.

 

Would Borsk Fey'lya be a Populist or a Centrist?

 

Is Scarif another name for Toprawa in One Canon?

 

Mon Mothma: So Jyn and her group just ran off to Scarif. To die for nothing!

General Dodonna: And we were just going to take her and her friends aside too and tell them we had it all taken care of with Operation Skyhook, and that Draven was going to be fired!

Mon Mothma: This is your fault! You took that tough guy act too far when you said "So you told us!" after she mentioned her father died! Now she and her friends will die too! For nothing!!

General Dodonna: It won't be for nothing. We'll, uh, name a squadron after them.

 

It would explain why there are only two Star Destroyers at Scarif before the Death Star and the ISD Devastator's involvement. The Empire was responding to incursions at Danuta, Toprawa, and they probably didn't think Scarif would be targeted given the shielding.

 

What's the deal with the Chimaera in One Canon? Is Rebels' Chimaera the same as the Thrawn Trilogy Chimaera? If so, that means Ezra escaped to some planet somewhere, then Thrawn found a wormhole and took himself and the Chimaera back to the Empire, where he was promptly demoted to Captain by an enraged Palpatine. Is that how it works?

 

"He picked the wrong side of some political battle" was how Vision of the Future described it. With his allies being demoted, imprisoned, or assigned to garrison duty in the Outer Rim.

 

But of course Thrawn and Palpatine were planning Thrawn's "exile."

It's interesting that in both canon and Legends, Thrawn's exile (either from the Chiss or the Empire) wasn't really an exile at all, but planned by both Thrawn and his superiors (could be that his Legends exile from the Chiss was in name only as is in canon).

 

If Thrawn crawled back to the Empire without Ezra, as One Canon seems to indicate, I'm pretty sure any exile from Palpatine would be real. In fact, Thrawn should probably be relieved at Palpatine's leniency to just demote and exile him. To quote Vader, "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am."

 

The old Grand Admiral article indicated that Grand Admiral Tigellinus believed he was responsible through court politics and befriending - then betraying - Thrawn. (Of course, he was completely wrong. )

 

Palpatine only needed Thrawn, the other Grand Admirals he only kept around to keep Thrawn busy with them.. like he constantly poured potential rivals that are morons at Vader. No genius underling should have free time to think or plot against him.

Given Tigellinus media presence and love for the spotlight, he either was working with a script to sell propaganda, or he way played and loving it.

 

That's one big plan from Palpatine. Yet I can't say I am shock. Since this is the same man who started a war and was secretly leading both sides.

So it's not too crazy.

Also, just to point out: I believe Toprawa did not actually have the Death Star plans - it had a high-capacity data transmission facility that they needed to get all the plans together to beam to Tantive IV, IIRC.
Probably need to get to thinking about how the whole Rogue One thing goes down in Two Canons.

 

@Sinrebirth How open is One Canon to timetravel retcons?

I know many do not fancy Timetravel in SW, even if with Flowwalking, Aing Ti, World between Worlds and other shenangians from old Marvel comics or Supernatural Encounters it already is part of the narrative.

Timetravel fits more a multiverse approach than a one canon where all is in the same line, but what if one utilizes it to bring elements into one canon that otherwise could not made to fit? Or even variations of published stories, like abandoned concepts, alternate story scripts etc. ? That way we could inculude everything and not just published final products.

Dark Horse original outline for the NJO period?

The OTs original Prequels before the PT.

NJOs various variations in story before characters got swapped around as per Lucas?
