Lit Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki

I don't think they show Sila Kott after her A-wing is destroyed, do they? I think they show Arvel Crynyd, the similar looking A-wing pilot.

Weirdly there are a few pilots at Endor with almost-twins.

 

Oh, okay...just looked on Wookieepedia, and the two shots are of different pilots. I guess it's hard to tell with the headgear and all.

 

...huh, and here I always thought all this nonsense started with AOTC.

 

I guess they used a shot of Gray Leader and dubbed him with a younger male voice actor. I switch between this being either Horton Salm's younger brother or a relative assigned at the last minute to replace the original Red Two who is out ill / injury pre-battle or Will Scotian flying a Y-wing because his X-wing got blasted out from under him during the Battle of Falleen's Fist.

Yeah, the confusion is largely cause they are both A-wing pilots. Though Sila Kott (played by Poppy Hands, voice by a male actor though still canonically female) is clearly different looking from Arvel Crynyd (portrayed by Hilton McCrae) when you look at their faces closely even for brief moments they are both on-screen. Sila Kott's callsign has been misidentified as Red Two on databank (but they haven't fixed the whole Telsij/Ekelarc Yong issue either) but she has been clearly marked as Red Three.

The B-wing absence should really have been addressed in the Special Edition. They may not have add the scene showing the death of that Star Destroyer but seriously, add a B-wing here or there please. About the only things they did in the Special Edition was cut and paste a few extra ships here and there and at the hand as the Falcon approaches the forest moon, the fleet is now actually moving instead of staying where they are.

Adywan's Revisited is planning to add B-wing pilots to the sequence and clear the inconsistencies here and there.

 

Oh wow. A 2017 nucanon source explicitly ID'd Kott as Red Three? Awesome! When I wrote the BTS of what's now her Legends article years ago, I kinda felt like I was grasping at straws when I basically wrote "Look, even though her action figure, the junior novelization, and the damn screenplay of the film call her Red Two, she's Red Three according to G-canon, for Waru's sake!" If Michael Kogge read that BTS, said "Yeah, checks out," and then called her Red Three in the nucanon, then my straw grasping is vindicated!

 

I'm thinking the Battle of Endor should have gotten the updated CGI treatment rather than the Battle of Yavin. The action looks really sparse...just a few fighters flying around here and there, and the capital ships are just hanging there not firing their weapons. Heck, the opening battle with the Tantive IV was more exciting, as was the Star Destroyer shooting at asteroids.

Also, that picture of the B-wings blowing up the Star Destroyer...did that come from unused footage or something?

 

@Ulicus is this your planet? Ulicia

 

Ex-wife.

 

the Wook' say that the vornskr are 0.8 m high (by the shoulder I guess) but don't refer where this info is from, do anybody know?

 

The Essential Guide to Alien Species, p.146.

 

If I rememberr right so was the oswaft from Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka described in the book as resembling a Portuguese man o' war, but there is no mention of that on their Wook' page, instead they are called manta like. Is it me that's remembering it wrong and if not: why is there no mention of them resembling a Portuguese man o' war on their page?

 

You remember it right.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Portuguese_man-o'-war

 

Thanks.

Have to say that I find it strange that the article consider the mention of Portuguese man-o'-war to be "not clear if it was meant to be out-of-universe or not" since the part earlier when the text say "An alien observer in a different place and time" is to me a clear indication that they meant somebody on Earth would say that the oswaft resemble a manta ray and/or Portuguese man-o'-war.

 

Have the name of the species of the Most High Proctor of Thebeon 8, who appear in Princess Leia, Imperial Servant, ever been established?

 

I don't think so, but wow! The two mantis aliens are listed on Wookieepedia as "Mzerc" and "Mzerc's wife". That's ridiculous. Look at how they're introduced - Senator and Master Mzerc. If anything, the articles should be "Mzerc" (for the senator) and Mzerc's husband!

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

Does anybody know why Wookieepedia has pages for canon novels and separate pages for the audiobooks of those novels?
You'd think the audiobook would be a section on the novel page

 

You know, that would actually be really interesting if the differences between the audiobook and the actual book were noted. I notice differences all the time. The audiobooks are likely going off an earlier draft.

I was just listening to the Shatterpoint audiobook, which aside from being heavily abridged also has an interesting difference - in the first scene where they're in Palpatine's office, in the audiobook, Mace keeps calling him "sir", putting it in nearly every sentence he says directly to Palpatine. Obviously at some point before the final draft, someone told Stover to stop making Mace such a deferential bootlicker or something.

 

It is so hard to switch from Legends to Canon and vice versus on mobile...

 

I'm sure it's been discussed, but wouldn't it make more sense to split Legends and new canon off into separate wikis altogether?

 

It just seems like a headache to have to think "am I looking at new canon or Legends?" And to make matters worse, a lot of the time the article name is different when switching between the two.
