chitoryu12 posted:There's fungi and gourds and stuff that grow natively (including mushrooms at the bases of vaporators; Shmi Skywalker was picking them when she was kidnapped), but most of the planet is completely uninhabitable. The reason everything seems to take place in the same few areas that are all a speeder bike away is because that is Tatooine: every settlement is part of the same small area that isn't virtually unexplored, scorching desert. The new canon gives a population of only 200,000. I might be the only person but I want HK47 to appear. I love the murderbot that "accidentally" keeps killing his owners.

DogsInSpace! posted:Thank you Obi Chitoryu12. So is there a natural resource export equivalent to "Spice"? New canon has the major imports as dilarium oil and silicax oxalate (their purpose is unstated but silicax oxalate is the purple crystals Cobb Vanth had in his flashback that he used to buy Fett's armor). Oh, and slaves. But otherwise Tatooine is a pretty useless planet for anyone who's not hiding from something, usually the law. Both canons established that mining on Tatooine thousands of years ago was given up because the metals turned out to be useless when extracted; the Jawa sandcrawlers are leftover mining rigs that they turned into mobile homes. unlimited shrimp posted:I'm curious where this fits in to the new trilogy, or if they won't bother at all. I would be surprised if it does. There's not really anything in the new films that require explanation that isn't already being put into books and whatnot. It also takes place at a time when all of the new major characters in the sequel trilogy are children or haven't even been born yet, so the only thing I could imagine is something like a cameo where Baby Yoda starts crying when he sees young Kylo Ren on Chandrilla or whatnot.

Rey using Force lightning but not being a Sith (despite being related to an ultra powerful Sith Lord) makes me wish that more Jedi would use Force lightning. But I didn’t read a ton of EU books so I don’t know if they ever did or not. Didn’t Luke have green lightning or something in the EU?

The Light Siders just call it something else: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Electric_Judgment It's supposedly weaker than Sith Force Lightning so that makes it okay.

The nature of the Force depends heavily on who's writing. At the most extreme other end (which I think is the one Lucas touts), the Dark Side is overtly corrupting. There's no way to be "gray" with it because giving in to negative emotions like anger, fear, hatred, greed, etc. when using the Force will rapidly become addictive until you go full Dark Jedi. It's supposed to go so far as to physically corrupt you, which is why so many Sith end up with gray skin and bad complexions. Cracken's Field Guide, that I mentioned previously, even goes so far as to support discrimination against the disabled! It says that people with cybernetic modifications (even just prosthetic limbs) face discrimination from the rest of the galaxy due to fears stoked by droid rebellions....and then goes on to say that yes, cybernetics will actually weaken your grasp on the Force and make you much more likely to turn to the Dark Side if you use it.

You don't need to go into some big old inevitable cyclical destiny thing for the Sith to return and plague the galaxy again. The Jedi and Sith have by the modern day spent 25000 years exchanging repeated genocides, and terminal paranoids for both sides have had access to the entire galaxy. Obviously there are apocalypse caches with holocrons/bound ghosts/manuals/whatever and lightsaber parts under weird Force contingency antidetection not-spells in random backwaters just waiting to lure some schmuck into stumbling across them to restart whichever side failed last. Sure, you can wipe out an order and feel good about it, but two centuries later the relevant colored lightsabers are going to come streaming out of Sub-Sector Asscrackio and demolish the complacent victors. Rinse and repeat.

What was the complete list of stuff the rebels gave at the end? It all sounds familiar, but I've forgotten basically every supporting character's name  Also, I felt pretty sure that the egg tank was gonna break or get lost or something, and baby Yoda would spit up all the eggs he ate as a way to preserve the frog's lineage. Seems like kind of a dick move to just straight up eat her children with no repercussions

It’s from the prison break episode last year. Mando helps some scumbags break a dude out but they kill a New Republic Officer despite his protests and then double cross him, so he turns around and stuffs them all into a cell and radios DAVE FILONI, X-WING PILOT the location of their boss’s hideout. Basically, they turned a blind eye in this one because he kinda helped them out before.
