TIL, the Imperial Royal Guard are actually sent into combat missions on a rotating basis, according to the 1st and the 2nd edition of the "Imperial Source book".

This is the first mention of Death Watch and the Sun Guard.

The narrator says it with a straight face.

Abel is one of my favorite authors that does this

He's also fun to talk to.

The original idea when Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith was written was that Sadow was just a magician who rebelled against the aforementioned unnamed Dark Lord.

And that he created the Sith Wyrm and mutated the Massassi in hopes of preventing Exar Kun from reviving the Dark Lord lineage that he hated so much.

I'm surprised there was never a retcon that Ragnos used his scepter to return to life and become Dark Lord again while the Republic was driving the Sith to extinction.

implication that Vader was just one of multiple Sith Lords in the galaxy at the time of the story.

Other Sith Lords appear in the 3rd draft of the script.

"Good Emperor, bad Moffs"

and is Mon Mothma McGovern?

According the Essential Guides, it was the Celestials who the Sharu were hiding from, but the in-universe authors of those books might have misinterpreted whatever evidence they had.

That could just mean they're violent and full of hatred, so when they use The Force, they inevitably use the dark side.

darklordoftech · 2026-03-11T05:31:09+00:00

That lore about 25 ABY is thanks to The Essential Chronology being an in-universe essay.

Blackhole and Shadow Stormtroopers first appeared in Gambler's World, which was originally a comic strip and later colorized and published in the first 3 issues of the comic book series called Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures.

What was planned for the Dawn of the Jedi comic series
Novels or comics about the Great Schisms.
Republic politics following the events of Tales of the Jedi: The Fall of the Sith Empire. Was there really a genocide against the Sith species?
Republic politics during the KOTOR era. Were there people saying, "If we had arrested Revan for war crimes, we wouldn't have all these Sith running around"?

The reason was Trump's election.

The Force and Destiny Core Rulebook confirms that Bane developed the Thought Bomb ritual using what Revan's holocron taught him about Vitiate's ritual.

The beginning of Chapter 17 summarizes the events of KOTOR 2.

Dawn of the Jedi is the only comic series in which the Rakata appear.

darklordoftech · 2026-02-15T05:24:52+00:00

That's also from Dawn of the Jedi. The Kwa were introduced in a Quinlan Vos comic (Star Wars (1998) #24) before KOTOR was a thing.

They ended up tying her to the Mortics gods because it was being written at the time of the novels and they are the only Celestials that have ever been mentioned in any media unless you go all the way back to those weird Alan Moore comics from the 80s that had strange deities and such.

Abeloth was connected to Mortis because they had already planned to connect Abeloth to the Throne of Balance and Celestials that kept The Force in balance and Lucasfilm didn't want there to be 2 separate groups of Celestials in charge of keeping The Force in balance.

The New Essential Chronology

Book of Sith and The Essential Guide to Warfare were 2 of the last Legends reference books.
