I do find it hilarious how Ackbar kind of lies about their "most trustworthy sources" confirming Jakku as the imperial base, when it's really Sinjir and Temmin

wait, wasn't it Gallius Rax who told it to the NR, in order to lure them into that final battle ?
@jediindyjones3 жыл бұрын
Surprisingly a lack of Lost Stars easter eggs in the Jakku battle.That would have been a dope mention, to hear of The Inflictor going down.

I don't know if it's a detail you missed or simply didn't state, but I believe this is the first canon book that references both the MC30c Frigate and the R-22 Spearhead. Might be others I missed though.

Hi Alex ! Great vid as always ! TIE Scouts first appeared in West End Games RPG products in 1988, namely the Star Wars Sourcebook and Strikeforce Shantipole but Zhan did make use of them in his Novel.

I was expecting Gallius Rax would get a mention
@bendarby243 жыл бұрын
He is implied by Sloane "No Longer being in command". Thinking Rax is the hidden leader, only known to Shadow Council (I believe), it makes sense for him to not be name-dropped.

What happened to Zeb after Star Wars Rebels? Has he just been chilling on his peoples' new home planet this whole time?
@danielhales81693 жыл бұрын
He was with the Rebellion you actually can briefly see him in one of the main Star Wars Comics issue. Lira San with him and Kallus going there is after ROTJ.

There was another ship mentioned, it may have been the first canon mention of, I think. It was during the Battle of Jakku, it was destroyed, and it was mentioned it could do something with a Star Destroyer. I'm avoiding specifics to keep from spoiling it outright

I've been soo looking forward to this book but ngl I forgot it was coming out. I used my Audible credit to buy Bloodline this month which was good but I've finished it all ready. Ill spend the rest of the month listening to book one and two again waiting until the 28th when i get my next credit. In the mean time i'll be all over any spoilers and such. I never read or listened to the x wing book series but I've loved this trilogy. So excited to get it.

Hey space cousins, i was thinking randomly about the obi wan show and the relationship between obi and cody. In my head connon empire uses cody kinda like the droids did in a way to 5's to search for jedi and obi. In you're"headcannon" could this happen? How would it go if you were writing the story?

I would argue it does as one of Palpatine's contingences besides it was the main part of the new Canon following Episode 6 as it was in Aftermath like one of the first books in the new Canon and in Shattered Empire.

Doesnt makes sense bc the senate himself returned, if not then palps going down and taking everything with him makes sense.
@sanderhoefsloot68523 жыл бұрын
Youre both right but a big theme in Aftermath and the First Order as a whole was purging the weak imperials and keeping the strong and loyal, that is definitely something Operation Cinder achieved. (Like they talk about in the Mandalorian)
