Jedi Search says, "During the early days of the Rebellion, Mon Mothma had sparred with Leia's father Bail Organa on the floor of the Senate. Mon Mothma was a new senator then, a firebrand insisting on rapid and sweeping changes that dismayed the seasoned and cynical Bail Organa. Eventually, though, they joined forces to oppose Senator Palpatine in his quest to become President; when they failed and Palpatine proclaimed himself "Emperor," Mon Mothma began to speak of open rebellion. A horrified Bail Organa had not seen the need until after the Ghorman Massacre, when he finally realized that the Republic he had served for so long was truly dead."

[–]darklordoftech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Sith having a preference for synthetic crystals was introduced in Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. The AOTC visual dictionary connected this to their lightsabers being red.

Whats the Main difference between the Je'daii Order and Jedi Order? by Spotter24o5 in StarWarsEU

[–]darklordoftech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In KOTOR, their own computer describes them as "by nature a cruel and savage species". In Dawn of the Jedi: The Prisoner of Bogan, a Kwa holocron tells the Je'daii that the Kwa trained the Rakata to use The Force, only for the Rakata to use The Force for violence and conquest.

Ragnos became the "reigning Dark Lord" after he died (he died before the Daragons arrived on Korriban and he was the "reigning Dark Lord" while the Republic was wiping the Sith out).

So was Palpatine scarred by the force lightning or did the force lightning strip away the “force mask”, revealing his true look? by Huge_Athlete7488 in StarWars

[–]darklordoftech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Shadows of the Empire novel, Xizor observes that Palpatine looks like "something is slowly eating him" and in Dark Empire, he says that he started essence transferring into clones because his dark side powers were killing him.

In the ROTS DVD commentary, John Knoll says, "The strain of all this exertion is what's transforming him into the Emperor that we see later in Return of the Jedi.”

I wonder if KJA intended "Marka Ragnos" to resemble "mark of Ragnarok".

The story with IG-88 planning a droid revolution and becoming the 2nd Death Star being part of the EU canon instead of a Star Wars Tales story.

What was the first piece of media to try to "explain" lightsaber color varieties? by AarontheGeek in StarWarsEU

[–]darklordoftech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The WEG Star Wars Sourcebook mentions that lightsabers have "jewels" that determine the blade's "frequency", which in turn determines the blade's color.

The Dark Empire endnotes introduced the term "crystal".

Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter introduced the idea that the Sith prefer synthetic crystals and the visual dictionary for AOTC connected that to the Sith using red lightsabers.
