I just finished Survivor's Quest from legends and I want to read the New Jedi Order Series next, but I also noticed there's an Outbound Flight book by Zahn, is that necessary to read to understand the NJO series, or can I skip it?

Agreed, Star Wars really needs to stay away from a multiverse, there’s no point and the concept is getting old.
That being said, I like the world between worlds, and wouldn’t mind seeing more of it. And I don’t think that you can change the timeline when you travel, if you affect something then it was already affected. Like Harry Potter time travel, which for the record is my favorite depiction of time travel
I’m guessing a very long time, but I would also not that the Star Wars galaxy we think of is “a long time ago”, so ET and StarWars while being in the same galaxy take place probably thousands of years apart maybe more
I feel like legends is anything not canon, and EU is the story line of novels and comics set after the OT, so I think deleted scenes technically classify as legends but that’s just me
Vitiate was really evil just to be evil, and just to be immortal
I completely agree on everything, I think Palpatine is the only logical villain for the Skywalker saga and they made the right move by bringing him back, they just did it in the completely wrong way. My biggest problem is that they don’t explain it. Like at all. If you haven’t read the books or if you don’t know the lore inside and out, you never know how he returns. They never explain in the movie that he used Force essence transfer and cloning to revive himself, so all the casual movie goers had no idea how he returned. I think that you should be able to completely understand the movie without needing knowledge from other source material.
Ok, I have read some already but I’ll read the others, thanks!
Yeah I would agree on the eyes changing back, but I think it would depend on how deformed they are. I think just grey skin would easily go back to normal but if it’s scarred and stuff like Palpatine then I don’t see that going back. Interesting question tho
Ok I’m reading through the legends timeline to get to the New Jedi Order series, and I’m finishing up Hand of Thrawn rn (no spoilers pls) and next on my list is Young Jedi Knights, Courtship of Princess Leia, and Junior Jedi Knights. Basically I would like to know how important those are for me to understand the new Jedi Order series. Can I skip them and be fine, or should I stick it out and read them?

I mean yeah it’s more of a spin off tho, especially since it’s an MMRPG and not one player story based like KOTOR
I’d love to see some life size lego models of lightsaber hilts. I think that would be really fun to have, maybe they could even find a way to put blades on them but they would probably break easily lol
Yeah so I stumbled across this disturbing fact a while ago. Basically it comes down to this one moment in the Fortnite x Star Wars live event that happened just before the release of Episode 9. I’ll sum up the event real quick but there are plenty of YouTube videos if you guys want to watch it yourself.
So the event starts with the Millennium Falcon jumping to the Fortnite island from Hyperspace. JJ Abrams walks out and talks for a bit, they show a clip from the movie, and then the Falcon blasts off, however something happens right before that, that I will be pointing out in a bit because it’s important.
So for anyone who doesn’t remember the title crawl of Episode 9, it starts by saying that Palpatine basically broadcasted a message throughout the galaxy of his return, this is what tells everyone he’s alive and is extremely important to the story. I always thought it was really weird that they wouldn’t show something like that at the start of the movie considering how important it was, instead they just mention it, like it already happened somewhere else in Canon.
I think most of you can see where I’m going with this.
Palpatine’s message to the galaxy, this movie starting, galaxy changing, canon event, happens during a Fortnite live event.
Obviously I don’t actually consider Fortnite Lore as Star Wars canon, but you have to admit that technically it is. Also think about the implications of this! Remember all those who would win battles between Iron Man and Darth Vader? Oh yeah that could canonically happen. Anakin canonically could have done the Renegade on a younglings dead body. This whole time stormtroopers could have been cranking 90’s on Rebels and they haven’t been. The possibilities with this are stupid and endless.
Anyways, I’m not extremely well knowledgeable about Fortnite Lore as I stopped playing about a year ago, so if anyone is and would like to volunteer to write the wiki page on the Fortnite island here on wookieepedia I think it’s needed as Fortnite is now canon.
Honestly tho I’m not a huge fan of the fact that they put a huge plot point like that into a Fortnite live event, but it is what it is lol
Yeah, except the empire wasn’t a new government it was the same one reorganized, although that may still cause inflation
In The Thrawn book he tracks the Death Star via shipping routes, and it takes him a while as they were very well hidden. I would think that if someone as intelligent and as high in authority as Thrawn had trouble finding the Death Star then something as obvious and easy to track as tax money would have been avoided by Palpatine. I think the money definitely came from private funds, and therefore the Economic impact of destroying the Death Star would have been minimal. But again I’m not an expert in Economics so idk for sure
Ok, let’s talk strictly canon for the sake of this argument
@Clawdcobb I would think most of the materials were taken From non inhabited worlds so as to not draw attention.
In legends it was supposed to be a mining tool no?
I would guess almost none but Tarkin tbh maybe a few others but certainly not a lot of them
Yeah, if he used tax funds someone in the imperial senate likely would have found out. In fact he would have had to use Republic funds as in ROTS we see some of the Death Star was already built
I also feel like the original Death Star would have been built using the funds from Hego Damask’s (Darth Plageuis) private account. So it wouldn’t have been tax payer money
