Star Wars Q&A - Hosted by Jetzt and Bac

What are the top 3 greatest sith artifacts?

BAC: Well, though no one has ever given any sort of answer to this I will go ahead and tell you what I think are the top three:

-The Blade of Ajunta Pall
-The Sith Amulets of Exar Kun
-Any sort of Sith Holocron

Again, that is not an official answer because there is no official answer. This is just what I would assume to be the top three (in no particular order).

Q: In episode 1, Darth Maul had tattoo's on his face, some say they extend down to his torso and others say it's just his face, what is your take on this?

Jetzt: He was tatooed all over.

Wrong. In the movie, you can quite clearly see his neck, which was plain skin.

BAC: That is an error in make up. If you wanted to go by what's on screen, you could say that Emperor Palpatine's face in ROTJ was the only thing that was deformed and the side of his head and back of his head was fine. Hence, why they added the "Emperor's Slug". Jetzt was right, there was just an error in make up.

[Jacob Codex]

Was Plagiues really Palpatine's master or was that just what he made up for Anakin?

BAC: Plagueis was the master of Darth Sidious. The story was true. BUT, neither of them created Anakin. The point of the story was for Anakin to think, "Hmm, if I turn to the Dark Side I can save Padme." Sidious knew the power to do so all along, but he knew that Padme had to die in order for Vader to truly committ to the Dark Side of the Force.

Question:What happened after Ep.VI (6)

BAC: That is an extremely broad question so I am not going to get into anything *that* specific.

-The Truce at Bakura (immediately after)
-The Courtship of Princess Leia
-Tatooine Ghost
-The Thrawn Trilogy (5 years after)
-The Jedi Academy Trilogy
-The Hand of Thrawn Duluogy
-The Yuuzhon Vong War (The New Jedi Order)

If you want anything more specific, then go ahead and ask ;D



Jetzt: Its spelt, Yuuzhan Vong
BAC: Meh

[ferragonda]

OK then my more un-broader question. What happened in the Jedi Acdamy Trilogy?

BAC: I will tell you what the book jacket says, only because me telling you the entire trilogy is unrealistic. Besides, if I told you it would ruin the fun. You should actually read these if you want it in more detail:

Jedi Search

As the war between the Republic and the scattered remnants of the Empire continues, two children--the Jedi twins--will come into their powers in a universe on the brink of vast changes and challenges. In this time of turmoil and discovery, an extraordinary new Star Wars saga begins....

While Luke Skywalker takes the first step toward setting up an academy to train a new order of Jedi Knights, Han Solo and Chewbacca are taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine. But when Hans and Chewie break away, they flee desperately to a secret imperial research laboratory surrounded by a cluster of black holes--and go from one danger to a far greater one....

On Kessel, Luke picks up the trail of his two friends, only to come face to face with a weapon so awesome, it can wipe out an entire solar system. It is a death ship called the Sun Crusher, invented by a reclusive genius and piloted by none other than Han himself....

Dark Apprentice

As the New Republic takes devastating losses in the ongoingwar with the scattered remnants of the Empire, the galaxy's future depends on three small children -- among them the Jedi twins -- born to incredible powers and perils, as an extraordinary new saga unfolds...

While the New Republic struggles to decide what to do with the deadly Sun Crusher -- a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo -- the renegade Imperial Admiral Daala uses her fleet of Star Destroyers to conduct guerrilla warfare on peaceful planets. And now she threatens the watery homeworld of Admiral Ackbar. But as the battle for a planet rages, an even greater danger emerges at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. A brilliant student delves dangerously into the dark side of the Force and unleashes the spirit of an ancient master of the evil order that warped Darth Vader himself. Working together, they may become an enemy greater than the New Republic has ever fought... more powerful than even a Jedi Master can face....

Champions of the Force

Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protÚgÚ Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!


So, other than that I suggest you actually read these books.

Was skippy the jedi droid meant to actually be skippy the jedi driod or was that something that a fan just made?

BAC: ROFLMAO, I love Skippy the Jedi Droid. Well, Skippy was the droid that blew his motivater in EpIV. For reference, "Uncle Owen! This Artoo unit has a bad motivator. Look!"

Obi-Wan knows that there are two other force sensetive beings on Tatooine (one of them being Luke Skywalker), but despite all his searching he cannot find the second one. He wasn't however searching in the right place because this was no force sensetive being: this was Skippy the Jedi Droid.

When Skippy escapes from his master Jabba the Hutt and is picked up by Jawas, he meets R2-D2 who told him of his mission to save the galaxy.

When Owen chooses Skippy, he realises how important R2-D2 is in saving the Galaxy. So he blows his motivator so Artoo can complete his mission.

Skippy appeared in "Star Wars: Tales". So, that is what gave him that name.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

Who was the first Jedi?

BAC: Unknown, Lucas has never said nor has there ever been a story about the first Jedi.

[Darius Lenoth/Infared]

How was the force made? and how did it start to have a connection with people?

Again, this was never said. But, there was a fan fiction made one time that I accept as cannon for my Alternative Trilogy:

"120 Life arose on a multitude of worlds and flourished, and life brought forth the Force, an energy radiated by all living things. Even as living beings died, the Force they generated remained. And so the Force grew to become the living essence of the galaxy itself. Being a part of the great cycle of life, the Force had two aspects, creation and destruction, each balanced against the other. And the Force came to know itself.

121 The time came when the energies of the Force had grown strong enough to be sensed by living beings. A Holy man named the Skywalker became aware of the Force. After much study, he came to see in a new way, and his aura and his powers grew strong. The Force spoke to the Skywalker, and he came to know the life-giving aspect of the Force. And he named it the Ashla.

122 But the life-taking aspect of the Force was quick to respond to the new thing that the Ashla had done. It, too, spoke to the Skywalker, and he named it the Bogan. The Bogan desired the Skywalker as an agent to commit evil and increase the energy of death in the galaxy. But the Bogan had not yet learned the way of seduction, and it could only try to compel the Skywalker to comply. The Skywalker fought the Bogan mightily, and his strength prevailed.

123 The Skywalker realized that if he taught others the way of the Ashla, some with lesser strength would come to know the Bogan and bring great suffering to the galaxy. He entrusted the secret of the Force only to his twelve children. The family of the Skywalker brought new life to the people of his system, and many blessings came from them. They became known as the Jedi Bendu of the Ashla, servants of the Force. The Skywalker joined with the leaders of many worlds to form the great government of the Republic. The Jedi Bendu became the guardians of peace and justice in the Republic.

124 And when the Skywalker's work was done, and he had grown very old, he gathered his children, and his children's children to him, and he prophesied.

125 The Skywalker said, The Force has been a secret among us, so that no one will use it to bring great pain to others. But one day, our story will be told in full, and the Force will be known to all. The Republic will grow very large, and our family will not be enough to provide Jedi Bendu to safeguard all of it. The many races of the Republic will provide servants of the Force, and the Jedi Bendu will be numerous enough to oppose the servants of the Bogan where they arise.

126 The Skywalker said, Your descendants will go out among the stars and find a race of great wisdom, called the Whills. They will accept their destiny and follow the Jedi Bendu to this system, and dwell in the light of the Ashlan Nebula. On the fourth planet, they will record our story.

127 The Skywalker said, The Whills shall tell the story of the Jedi Bendu and the Republic, which shall last for over a thousand generations. All the races of the Republic shall share the story. It is their common heritage. The Whills shall be sustained by their task, but when the shadow of the Bogan falls upon them, the Ashla will not desert them, and in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

-The Journal of the Whills, Volume One, 3:120- 127. Excerpted from the Testimony of the third son of the Skywalker."

It works for me, and I like it, so I accept it as cannon in my book.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

What video game character was the strongest (Star Wars obviously), excluding Revan, The Exile, and any that were in the movies?

BAC: That's more a matter of personal opinion, really. Not to mention that you have basically taken away every character in a video games, sans a few. So, I would have to say Kyle Katarn.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

What is the order of Jedi Council members in Episode 2 from youngest to oldest?

BAC: Stop asking retarded questions. No one knows who the youngest to oldest is.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

Sorry, just having fun. Seirously now...

BAC:

What happened to Yaddle?

BAC: She was killed in-between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

Do you know how? Or is that unknown too?

BAC: In Jedi Quest 6, Yaddle sacrificed her life to save Anakin's and thousands more by absorbing toxic gasses.

[Sabre]

Who is Yaddle?

Dex: A female version of Yoda. She was on the council in episode one, incase you didnt notice.

[Jedi Master Arlon Kyjar]

In episode 1, when they are going through that underwater passage back up to the surface in the tansport thingy, what is that eel thing called, the last animal that goes after them?


Jetzt: The last one didnt actually attack them, it more or less saved them... anyway the thing is called a sando aqua monster.

[Halan]

what specific green is yoda?

Dex: While you're at it, what specific brown is Mace?


Jetzt: Well, Yoda is a mixture between Putting Green and Ple Sage. Mace on the other hand is a mixture between Chocolate Fondant and Pure Indulgence. Thats acording to Dulux.
