There seems to be a severe lack of material concerning this topic which I find to be utterly wasteful given that the New Republic wouldn't have been eradicated entirely. What is your headcanon concerning this aspect of the ST era and if there is actually material about it, where can one find it?

Hello everyone, I've decided to make a movie and show tier list based on how important they are to the overall storyline.

This is a follow-up post of the Canon Master/Apprentice Chart I posted before. This chart maps force users in Star Wars Canon to who they are affiliated with. I formatted the images to be organized into 5 colors: Blue (light side), red (dark side), purple (light and dark side), grey (neutral), and green (witches). Blue is on the bottom, red is on the top right, purple is on the top, grey is on the right, and green is on the top left.

I NEED HELP FINDING MISSING FORCE USERS FROM THIS LIST. I have all the main characters, and I believe all of the canon Sith, but if you know of someone who appeared in a comic, video game, book, etc that wouldn't be very popular, that would be really helpful. Particularly, the High Republic is where I believe I'd be missing the most. Or if there is a list of force users somewhere that would be greatly appreciated. I've been provided with a list of all Star Wars characters, but that seems like a nightmare to sort out who is/isn't a force user.

Also, if you have feedback on the formatting of the chart please let me know!

I'm putting together a master/apprentice chart that shows the relationship between every force user in Star Wars canon. I've gone through various sources and lists of all the known force users in canon, but seem to keep finding new ones. This includes Wookieepedia and forums. With that, if anyone has a master list of all force users (Jedi, Sith, Witches, etc) in canon and you're willing to share it, I would really appreciate it. Or if you notice any canon force users missing from this picture that would help to. Blue is light side, red is dark side, purple is light and dark side, green is witches, and gray is “neutral.” If you have another sorting method you think I should use please share. To qualify for my chart they need to have a name in canon. For instance, John Smith would count, but John Smith's master wouldn't since his specific name isn't known. Pictures aren’t necessary either, they could just be mentioned. Movies, tv shows, books, video games, etc all count. Thank you and I will be sure to share the final chart when all force users are accounted for and properly organized!

Not taking into account factors like the stories being made up as they went along, the Covid delays or the launch of Disney+ demanding content, just looking at the slate as it is now, how would you have paced/greenlit these projects?

Like, would Andor have been as successful if it predated Rogue One? Is it a good thing that the Mandalorian aired when it did, or would you have had the Mando-Verse progress alongside the sequel trilogy? Would the animation side of things be different if Bad Batch was an integral/core to the new canon as Rebels was? If Skeleton Crew aired in like 2015, would that cast of kids have aged into being the new leads of the franchise by now?

Obviously the contents would change a little, and everybody has opinions on how to "fix" projects, but other than jigging the timeline and crew around a bit, how would you have improved these last 10 years of Star Wars through only changing the release order?

NO SPOILERS PLEASE.

Im asking if it is adding new events and stories or simply adapting the current canon media for it. Like the aftmath series, Star Wars Battlefront II, star wars squadrons, Alphabet Squadron, Star Wars Squadrons, Uprising.

Or is it adding new stories set between the other stories?

Or a mix of both?

I am currently making a list of every single canon Star Wars character. If anyone is interested in seeing, you can DM me :)

Both of them have purple and same techiques but MJ is older and thats all just wanna know yall opinion

Essentially This Post-Endor era feels a lot more of corpus in which I loved about it with stories from Princess and the Scoundrel, Aftermath and Alphabet Trilogies, Battlefront 2, Shattered Empire comics, Lost Stars, Uprising, Squadron Blade Squadron Lost Stars and The Battle of Jakku comics?

Now even though we have so much material in this time period along with the battle of jakku comics despite how divisive they are? I wonder what else in this time period would you loved see fleshing out in this period essentially micro stories set in the larger stories within the eras.

For an example I would love for them fleshing the Luke and Leia training as a full fleshed out story given the fact that we know that they were training during Post-Endor and Leia stop training due to a vision of her future son Ben. Granted I know in the comics (especially in the Crimson Reign trilogy.) they implied that their training but still. It would love to see a story set in that time period?

I also would love to learn more about The Border Skimishes with the New Separatist Union that was mention in Victory's Price. Along with fleshing out the New Separatist Union and the Confederacy of Corporate Systems.

You could also fleshed out the different battles that were showned in the stories but never given great detail or proper conclusion such as The Battles of Kuat and Malastare especially the latter since we still don't know about the fate of Kenner Loring.

It would also be cool to have a short story or one-shot comic about Mayfield's backstory and fleshing out the attack of Burnin Konn, I know we got some details about this event in The Rise and the Fall of the Galactic Empire but it would be cool to see it in a full fledged narrative story. (I know the mandoverse is going on but come on from what I could tell it doesn't look like Bill Burr after season 2 isn't part of any project unless he is secretly cast in Mando and grogu movie like after season 2 he hasn't been part of Mando s3 and what we could tell not in the movie, so just tell Mayfield backstory and be done with it make a short story or a comic one-shot.)

Speaking about The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire I would love for some of the new details from that book get flesh out in future stories set during this time period of Post Endor but before the Battle of Jakku such as the Last Stand of Vice admiral ferno, the story of Lady Ederlatth Pallopides, and the story of Grand Moff Plorest of the Corusca sector who declared himself Emperor for three days although he was ignored by the rest of the galactic military before dying at the hands of one of his own lovers?

But yeah I'm curious on what small details from this era (Especially from the book Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire as well as The Princess and the Scoundrel, The Battle of Jakku comics, Shattered Empire, comics, The Aftermath and Alphabet Book Trilogies, Battlefront 2 Campaign, Lost Stars, Star Wars: Uprising, Squadrons, and Finally Blade Squadron.) would you like to fleshed out besides the ones I mention here?

This aspect of Thrawn is not one that's often explored even in the books as far as I can remember but this scene really shows us how he truly feels about many of the Imperials he serves alongside. Slavin in particular is the utter epitome of classlessness and greed that Thrawn just cannot stand because it goes against everything he believes.

And this here is the only time we ever see Thrawn truly act out of anger instead of his typical calm and collected demeanor. It only lasts a few seconds but I think it shows us just how frustrated he is to be serving with so many imbeciles. The Empire is strong and Thrawn needs it to help act as a barrier against threats like the Grysks so he must keep serving but he's also not blind to the gluttony and needless cruelty practiced by many within the Empire.

Not that Thrawn himself isn't ever cruel (he is a villain after all) but at least he uses cruelty as a weapon against the enemies of the Empire rather than just for the sake of it. He views it as a weapon of war rather than something that's to be done casually and callously.

What do you all think of this scene?

So ANH, TESB, RoTJ, TPM, AotC, RotS, and The Clone Wars movie all lack flashbacks in any form as far as I can remember. Though obviously the prequels are kind of a trilogy of flashbacks by definition, and the TCW movie and TCW itself is a flashback filling in RotS' backstory. RotS itself had Anakin have visions in his nightmares, but definitely not flashbacks as we know them.

The first proper flashback I can remember is in The Clone Wars. We get baby Ventress' origin as well as baby Ahsoka and Plo Koon. There's almost certainly more from the show I can't remember.

TFA had the "Forceback" from when Rey picked up the Lightsaber for the first time. It definitely felt as though they were introducing flashbacks into the film language for the first time.

Rogue One started with a prologue featuring a very young Jynn, as well as an actual flashback/dream of Krennic, Galen, her mother, and her on Coruscant. Intentional narrative choice to separate it from the Skywalker Saga, like the lack of introductory crawl.

The Last Jedi obviously had Kylo's origin told in subjective character-based flashbacks. TLJ's ethos was to expand on the film language of the saga, and deliberately excluded the Wilhelm scream and (I get it's a meme) subverted the "I've got a bad feeling about this" compulsory line. They also did a cool crossfade while Kylo decided not to shoot at Leia on board the ship, which was a completely foreign editing choice.

Solo began with a prologue set years before the rest of the movie, with Han leaving Corellia.

The Rise of Skywalker has full on flashbacks to Rey's parents, as well as a CGI Carrie Fisher and Luke Skywalker training with the force.

Rebels had a flashforward at the end. The only other time I remember a flashback is in The Grand Inquisitor's Jedi Temple Guard flashback.

Resistance I don't think had any, nor did The Bad Batch?

The Mandalorian had brief flashbacks to The Clone Wars with Djinn joining the Mandalorians, then later shows Grogu during Order 66.

The Book of Boba Fett had about half it's runtime dedicated to immediately post-RotJ flashbacks leading up to the present day of him going back after his armour in Mandalorian season 2. Also in Mando's hijacked episodes we see Mandalore getting orbitally bombed by the Empire.

Obi-Wan Kenobi had flashbacks to right before Attack of the Clones, using de-aging tech. We also had more Order 66 flashbacks for the main Inquisitor character.

Andor included flashbacks to Cassian as a child, setting up his search for his sister.

Tales of the Jedi/Empire are weird because the Dooku stories are all told chronologically, Ahsoka's story does have a time jump from her being born to her as a baby, then later the training montage jumps across 3 years, then we get another time jump in the episode retelling EK Johnston's story. I don't quite remember Tales of the Empire having flashbacks perse. Each episode similarly jumps years.

Ahsoka used The World Between Worlds to justify recreating battles from The Clone Wars show.

The Acolyte's whole mystery is told in present day and flashback.

Skeleton Crew apparently were going to film or did film an Order 66 flashback, but cut it to keep the film language centred around the kids' journey, which I think was a good decision because Jod sold that story without the need to see it.

So did Tales of the Empire, Rebels, Resistance, and The Bad Batch have any I missed? And is Skeleton Crew the first canon live action story since Revenge of the Sith 20 years ago to not have any flashbacks?

Finished Light of the Jedi, about to be finished The Rising Storm. I’m going to read The Fallen Star immediately after.

Once I finish the trilogy - what should I read next in The High Republic era? Interested in the novels and YA novels.

First of all Claudia Gray has already proven she is one of the best writers for Leia there is. If this story ever is told I honestly could not think of a better possible author.

And this point of Leia's life is just one that generally needs to be explored more than it has been in canon. We get the basics of why Leia stopped her training in Rise of Skywalker but I definitely think there's more detail to it than just the vision she had of what would happen to Ben. I think another big factor is Leia realizing that she was meant to be a politician and a leader rather than a Jedi which is something I would like to see explored. Plus I'm sure the interactions we would possibly get between Leia and Luke would be golden. Luke of course would basically be the second main character so he could get some nice moments as well.

Thoughts?

There seems to be this widespread idea that the balance of the Force in Star Wars requires only the light or good side. Two years before Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney he personally wrote a 3-epipsode story arc entitled The Mortis Gods. It explains repeatedly and in detail that the balance of the Force consists of the son and daughter, or dark and light.

Am I missing something?

When Kim calls the New Republic to At Attin a whole squadron of fighters and a blockade runner is there almost instantly. Like less than half an hour basically. Which is weird considering that in The Mandalorian season 3 the New Republic is apparently "bogged down" with aid requests and prioritizing those of member planets. Hence why they do nothing about the pirate invasion of Nevarro. And yet apparently they were ready to go instantly to go kick the pirates off of At Attin? I get that Kim was probably in contact with them after Skeleton Crew episode 3 and probably told them what the kids and Jod told her but even so that seems remarkably quick considering how the NR has been portrayed in the Mandoverse thus far.

Thoughts?

ive got:

• black spire (about to read for the 3rd time)

• the comic

• a crash of fate (on the way)

• travellers guide to batuu (mostly so i can larp someone who can afford to go to disneyland)

middle grade stuff is welcome and i think all im missing outside of an actual ticket. thanks!

For context if you haven't read this: this is shortly after Empire Strikes Back and Qi'ra meets up with Leia and Lando after a failed attempt to rescue Han

It's interesting to note that she specifically says Han and not Lando used to have some "cups around here." As far as we know from Solo, Qi'ra never actually goes into the Falcon after Han wins it from Lando at the end of the movie. Her phrasing here strikes me as if it's almost meant to imply that she and Han did actually meet up at some point between Solo and the original trilogy for her to have been aboard the Falcon after he officially owns it. Obviously if so it must not have gone well since they're not together by the time of the original trilogy and Qi'ra in this issue laments that Han is better off without her in his life. What do you guys think? Am I onto something or am I just reading too deeply into a throwaway line?

In the old expanded universe Cerean Are known for having a low male birth rate even though they have a similar lifespan to humans, meaning the species really shouldn't have had low male birth rate.

Where as in real life low birth rates are usually tied to a species having a much longer life span meaning it would actually make a lot of sense for the Cerean to have a much longer lifespan than humans.

With Ki-Adi-Mundi Appearance in the acolyte this reveals that Cerean Species have a much longer lifespan than they had in the old expanded universe, Which makes the low male birth rates make a lot more sense.

Don't give me wrong The Acolyte is not a good show at least for a certain group of people (I enjoy it but I can see why a person or group would absolutely hates the show.) but in this case I think despite the criticisms of having Ki-Adi-Mundi being born 40 years before earlier makes a lot of sense at least when it come to his species especially when it comes real life species have the longest life span usually have the lowest birthrate?

I work on a fan-made Star Wars RPG, and I'm hoping to add Poobas to the line-up of available species. For those who haven't watched the Young Jedi Adventure series (it's great, by the way), the Pooba character Nubs looks like this.

There is a carving of an adult Pooba, called Barabo, on a wall, which briefly features in the show. However, the perspective and art style make it difficult to ascertain much.

Does anyone have any further information on what an adult Pooba might look like? I've had a dig and I can't find any other references. If not, what do you think an adult Pooba could look like? I'm happy to take the consensus from this thread until there is an official description.

Thanks!
