50 Things From Star Wars Aftermath: Empire's End - References, Easter Eggs, Legends, and More!

[@jacobprigmore1301]

"The brighter the light, the darker the shadow." That's such an awesome line...

[@323starlight]

Kind of gives context as to why the Sith are so powerful in the prequels. And further credits Snoke’s like in the Last Jedi. “Darkness Rises and the Light to meet it.”

[@aerophine_66]

Yep

[@ilikepigeons6101]

And awesome foreshadowing

What a nice paralel that Luke and Leia were born when the Empire was founded and Ben is born when the Empire ends. Great vid, as always!

Oh yeah xD

@@trumanderee2366 except ezra was born on empire day and luke and leia where born about a day or two after.

[@skjporkchop]

I originally didn't like the new canon, but i'm slowly growing to like it more than legends. The only big thing i liked from legends was the families of Luke and Leia; I loved the fact that the books covered a lot of the lifespan's of the skywalker/solo children.

[@TheFirstCurse1]

And then The Last Jedi came out and ruined everything LOL

[@bullrun2772]

okay back up your point/show evidence about the familys of luke and leia tho i love ben skywalker

It's perfect because I want to know what happens in these novels but I don't have the interest in taking the time to read them. So this is perfect for me ;)

[@GingerPisces2023]

Glad to see Embo is still alive, sad that Marrok isn't though. I couldn't imagine how hard that was for someone tough like Embo

[@MrGlenbw]

1:56 - WOOOHOOO!!! 1:59 - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! T^T

[@adeadphish7931]

Fun fact: I met Chuck Wendig at a convention and during The Star Wars novel Q&A panel, he said that he wrote the Jar Jar interlude specifically to make people feel bad for the series most hated character so it sounds like he did his job right

[@bullrun2772]

yeah

[@jlassijlali290]

Embo alive i'm so happy and then the next fact make me so sad

[@Des-rh9zn]

The fact that Dengar helps the rebels makes me laugh so much

[@thomasmoore285]

I love the idea of the unknown regions and that they were brought over from legends and all the new possibilities they bring to star wars. Having a super star destroyer hidden in deep space is just terrifying and awesome.

[@MooCowManHG]

So glad to hear Embo is still alive. He was one of my favorite bounty hunters from Clone Wars. I was on the edge of my seat during that scene where Maul and Savage massacred the Hutts hoping they weren't going to kill him. xD

[@captainrex4076]

These fact videos about Comics and Novels are by far the best and important content of this channel. Keep it up!!

[@matthewmcghee8677]

Fact 13: The Sherif is "Cobb Vanth" from "The Mandalorian" The "Acolyte" is going to go on Disney Plus soon in 2021. (Fact 26-30) At least we know what they are and what they do. I wonder if they will break "Luke's" "Return of the Jedi" Lightsaber and give it back to him or if it just Sith? Also, I wonder if this is how "Palpatine" survives the fall on the 2nd "Death Star"? Fact 31: There has to be enough "U-Wings" for the Game "Star Wars: Squadrons".

[@bullrun2772]

fact 13 yeah thats cool tho this was made back when the book came out but yeah next part well no acolyte isn't about acolytes of the beyond which is their own group but about the end of the high republic talking about the darkside and all of that shangin. yeah that make sense but this video was before that whoch you rpoably already know lol

[@miker.9138]

Gotta admit, of all the things they could've canonized, Lumpy would've probably been the last thing I would have expected. I liked his interlude chapter, though, so I'm not hating.

[@h.plovecat4307]

Really enjoyed this list. You should do more of these.

my favourite bit about this series is sinjir's character development im so proud of him

[@grooms93]

@starwarsexplained FYI The Lambda shuttle escape pod function was canon as of Star Wars The Complete Vehicles, as well as the first Aftermath novel.

[@da-vidcargill4975]

luke is born when the empire emerge ben is born when the empire falls very ironic isn't it

[@Evan-yz7sf]

That's not the proper use of ironic

[@sparky1600]

Evan Helms Yes it is.

[@everetth-top4760]

It's ironic like when you have 10,000 blasters and all you need is a lightsaber.

[@Evan-yz7sf]

Ironic: happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.

[@snapgab]

To me it actually confirms that he's the anti-Luke, and that he will remain an antagonist instead of being redeemed.

[@DanielRodriguez-th9lj]

"Hutts are strong enough to flip a lambda class shuttle" Thought he was talking about buying low and selling high

[@AF-tv6uf]

I'm considering that canon.

[@XxMandoManxX]

Still no sign of Boba post ROTJ hunh? I wonder what Lucasfilm has planned for him. I'd hate it if some rando takes his armor and replaces him.

[@matthewd9370]

MandoMan I think they're saving it for a big reveal, possibly the spinoff

[@ChevyChase301]

MandoMan I hope he doesn't come back if dead people come back then the deaths of these characters are less impactful

[@intergalacticimperialist9670]

Joey Angotti He was never dead, the sarlaac takes a thousand years to digest food and keeps it alive during the process so even if he didn't escape he'd still be alive...

[@ChevyChase301]

General Vic Rattlehead you do realize in a desert like that it would take around 12 hours without water to do of dehydration?

[@intergalacticimperialist9670]

Joey Angotti Yeah I know, the sarlaac keeps its victims alive through ambilical cord like tentacles

[@shocktrooper2117]

if the sheriff wore Boba Fett's armour then he's the canon Jodo Kast

[@manyerrors3719]

Screw all the other details in the video The way he deadpan said "I actually sympathised with Jar Jar and now I'm confused" is all I need

Ghostfinder fleet might be a reference to SWTOR when a smuggler fleet managed to defeat a larger sith fleet.

[@piratekingtim324]

So with Thrawn showing more importance, and since it seems he is still Chiss, does the Chiss Ascendancy still exist? What do you think it is up to?

[@ChevyChase301]

FarnsworthIII it is heavily hinted that Hux's father would die soon and I wouldn't be surprised if Rae got killed by Snoke. She did not like the last time she gave control of her empire to another and I feel she wouldn't give up the first order without a fight.

Is empire edge not available for audible users in the U.K.? Doesn't seem to be on there for me

[@ArmouredProductions]

Wait, so what exactly did Embo & Dengar do?

[@snapgab]

Bounty hunting, they chased after one of the major characters called Jas Emari, who is also a bounty hunter. (And the niece of Sugi from TCW.) After chasing her they ended up teaming up with her, partly because Jas and Embo knew each other, since her aunt and Embo were friends.

[@ArmouredProductions]

During the Battle of Jakku I mean. Did the shoot Stormtroopers

[@snapgab]

Armoured Productions​ They didn't do much tbh, at least not "on screen", they just came in to rescue one of the main characters who got stranded.

[@LinReu]

What's wrong with having a grey/gray/whatever part of the force?

CaniaX It's impossible to use dark side powers on a somewhat regular basis without falling to the dark side. That's been established since the original movies. EXCEPT apparently if you're a special snowflake who's "in the middle".

[@anthonyw6895]

The Doctor there's more good than bad to come from the eu, and I'm glad we still have one foot left behind in it. It gives me hope we get another chapter resurrected like we did thrawn and these more awesome references

[@LinReu]

Keep in mind that what's also been established is that the Jedi has always been quite ignorant when it comes to the force, especially the Dark and the Light side of it. (All though, I do understand your point.)

[@Drace90]

Let's hope the Jar Jar haters finally shut up now.

[@Compucles]

Eh, I still prefer Robot Chicken's idea that Darth Vader spaced Jar Jar out an airlock when the latter recognized him, only for him to reappear and annoy Vader as a Force Ghost. I know, non-Force users can't become Force Ghosts, but it was still an absolutely hilarious take on Jar Jar's fate.

Have you ever thought, what if the empire didn't get destroyed, but carried on through Ben solo, so that's what made him turn to the dark side.

[@The_Real_DCT]

Lawrence_Chum eh, but the Empire or at least the surviving imperial remnant fled to the unknown regions after Jakku as set up by the emperor himself. That's why the First order exists they were formed from the surviving imperial remnant
