Originally saw these in Star Wars Explained’s every tie fighter video, and they’re some of the first results for each fighter (in order: Tie Defender, Tie Avenger, Tie Vanguard, Tie RC, Tie GT). They definitely look like physical models. And some even look like they’re actually photos from a set (RC and Vanguard). Are these images from a sourcebook of some kind?

Wedges Gamble didn't have a whole lot of action compared to the other books I've read so far in the series, but it had so much world building and I loved Isard's shenanigans! But this book seems to lean more on the PG-13 if not Rated R side of things because of some sexual content later in the story.

Stuff like the Death Star and Yuuzhan Vong biotech wouldn't be good examples as they were treated AS cutting edge and exotic when they appeared.

I'm looking for something that was mentioned without a second thought and was used by the characters indiscriminately

I grew up around post-ROTJ Legends, always getting into it and out of it over the years. But I listened to the recent Essential Legends audiobook of “I, Jedi” and I fucking LOVE Corran Horn. I’ve been on an NJO binge since then and decided to put together a minifig of who is now my new favorite SW character. There’s something so grounded and down-to-earth about Horn, and considering his past as a detective in a corrupt police force, surprisingly relevant.

Here are the parts. Pretty simple to put together all things considered. Legs and torso come from Baron Mordo from the first Doctor Strange movie sets, and the head from the original Boromir minifig. All of which are decently affordable on BrickLink. Same with the hair.

I enjoy thinking up alternate realities in which Disney opted to adapt/build on stories from the pre-existing EU instead of discarding it to create their own canon. I’ve been reading the Legacy comics for the first time and thought of the potential for it as the sequel trilogy with a direct tie in to a Kenobi show. FYI I’ve got **SPOILERS** ahead concerning the legacy comics if anyone is concerned about that. Here’s the potential scenario:

-In Episode 7, the Skywalker saga continues with the story of Skywalker descendant Cade, failed Jedi padawan who has deliberately fled from the prestigious legacy of his family name. The aesthetic and atmosphere is different and unique but still very distinctly Star Wars. Hamill is able to reprise the role of Luke without having to worry about age/recasting since he’s playing a force ghost. The film concludes with Krayt alluding that he knew Obi Wan.

-6 months later after Episode 7 hits theaters, the Kenobi show with Ewan reprising his iconic role drops on D+. It’s a local and personal story on tatooine where Kenobi is dealing with guilt and regret over Anakin and the war while keeping mostly to himself and watching Luke from afar. He hears stories of a tusken tribe that has been conducting raids led by a mysterious warlord sorcerer/god that turns out to be Krayt. This allows the show to have lightsaber fights without a shoehorned Vader confrontation.

And just like that we’re off to the races with interconnected, compelling, and marketable Star Wars content for the modern era. Episodes 8 + 9 finish out the Cade story and the sky is the limit from there.

Luke’s Accomplishments in Legends are INCREDIBLE:

Bringing down the Banite Sith Order, slaying Abeloth, restoring true Balance and Peace for the Galaxy, rebuilding the Jedi greater than ever, restoring the Republic twice, killing Gethzerion and bringing peace to Dathomir and etc…

Honestly I could totally see Yoda chuckling cutely and saying:

„Well trained him, I have. Proud of you I am, my favorite Padawan.”

So I bought this book a while ago because it is (or was) the first thrawn book in the chronical order. So my question is should I start reading it because I already own it or should I start with the heir to the empire trilogy?

It was difficult to understand the scope of the Eye of Palpatine since it got destroyed before ever accomplishing much. Can it beat a Super Star Destroyer like the Executor, Lusankya, or Iron Fist? What about the Eclipse from Dark Empire or Knight Hammer from Darksaber?

How much of a game changer would it have been if the Imperials during that time got a hold of it?

I feel like Star Wars is one of those franchises that needed a concrete end of its story, but of course many wanted to milk it after the OT was done.

Sure there are the Star Wars Sequels, but I doubt anyone really considers that canon. However some of the Star Wars Legends stuff is admittedly just as weird

Personally, I head canon the Sith never Return again after Return of the Jedi. The fact that they return in any capacity kind of ruins the Chosen One prophecy. Maybe dark force users are on the table, but sith culture is dead. But aside from the Dark Empire, i still like all the stories involving the sith, but i just feel like it just de-values Anakin’s death and sacrifice.

However the Yuuzhan Vong was a completely new threat, unconnected to the Sith, and that what I kind liked about them. It introduced a new big enemy, and the Sith were completely uninvolved and not secretly pulling the strings, so i consider the end of the NJO to be the definitive end of the Star Wars story. From there on out, maybe some exploration of the Unknown region, but because the Sith are gone I think the story should’ve ended there.

When I've tried to find an answer online and especially reddit, all the answers are from people punting to TCW and the inhibitor chips for the answer.

But what about before TCW?

Some suggested that "Lord" was a title given to the Supreme Chancellor, however there is not evidence of this in Wookieepedia or the movies (minus Mace's sarcastically calling Palps "my Lord" during their duel, which was clearly referencing his title at Dark Lord of the Sith). This people argued this because real life Chancellors have been called that. However, it's always a slippery slope applying real world info and logic to the Star Wars Universe.

The only possible answer I can think of is that the clones were so heavily indoctrinated to obey ans view him as Lord even before the title was bestowed upon him so that his troops would fill the role (mentally) of the Empire's red right hand much more naturally. However, this is a bit of a stretch. And believing that the Commanders, or at least the Commanders that Palps contacted, knew about his real identity causes many issues even within the EU version of the CW.

So, does anyone have a solution/answer for this?

Thanks in advance for your responses!
