If i recall, he's never been a fan of ABY/BBY being the de facto dating system for all Star Wars. i mean it makes sense. but i feel like endor should be the dating system 0 than but idk or care. thrawn527 posted:I’m watching the ROTJ commentary track, and during an Endor scene, Lucas just said, “This film was written during the Vietnam War...” No it wasn’t, you loving liar lol. part of me thinks its the corpse emperor is endor him, some how he didnt explode and someone recovered what was left of him out of the death star wreck on that endor moon. than they stuck him on a boom mic with some life support. i feel like making him basically Vitiate is possible but i doubt it.

Of course, in the new chronology, Endor is an event of very little significance, serving as only a minor set-back for Palpatine, with the Alliance squandering the advantage it gave them very quickly...

Daala was made queen of the universe because they wanted to bring the Empire back but Daala was literally the only named Imperial officer with any clout still alive.

In an effort to better explain how easily the New Republic fell they've increasingly made it powerless, ineffective, corrupt and plain nonexistent in those 30 years though. At this point it seems more like the New Republic was just one of countless insignificant states with delusions of grandeur. Most people seem barely aware that anything had replaced the Empire save anarchy.

I remember back in the 90s when before/after Endor was the default dating scheme. I think the BBY/ABY was originally an internet fan thing that got brought in officially in... I think the original Essential Chronology? I also noticed that just like the Mandalorian episode from a few weeks ago, TROS now also explicitly mentioned Endor being the end of the civil war. Teek posted:
Yeah, an earlier cut of the movie had this be much more front-and-center as part of Palpatine's overall plan. Along with the intro scene having more context Kylo finding an "Oracle" on Mustafar, who was a really bizarre puppet, that would lead him to the Wayfinder.

"Mandalorian isn't a race. It's a creed." That might just be the best thing said since Disney took over the franchise.

I believe the old canon did in one of the comics somewhere, Star Wars Explained did a video about Easter eggs in The Mandalorian and mentioned non-human Mandalorians in the old EU.

Pretty sure the old EU talked about non-humans being Mandos. I have a really hazy memory about looking up what exactly the gently caress a Mandalorian was 20+ years ago.

There's non-human Mandos represented in the KOTOR comic.

I remember Feskitt Bobb and Alfreda Goot from Abel Peņa's article about the Mandalorians (which was basically the one big source that pulled together all the bits of canon about the Mandalorians to date before Traviss ignored it to do her own thing).

When the Mandalorians show up briefly in The Unifying Force at the end of NJO, there are a couple aliens specifically mentioned. I remember a Bothan Mandalorian being one of them. It is kind of impressive how a low-budget streaming show completely overtook Episode IX as the culturally dominant Star Wars for the last few months.

We can learn about the backstory and deep significance of Planet Kijimi, so that it will be sad when it is destroyed. smdh that Abrams didn't make the Star Destroyers actually Destroy Stars. Does he have no ambition? No vision?
