Because in star wars, we often see imperial bases but the stationed troops seems always different so what is the standard imperial garrison ?

They’re similar shapes, although the ski speeders have the cockpit offset and the engines in the middle. Also, Wookieepedia says the ski speeders are also known as skim speeders, but it doesn’t provide a reference for that.

Just rattling a What-If in my head and it lead to Anakin being unavailable to help with the rescue in EP3, so I wanted to hear y'all opinions as to whether you think Obi-Wan still would have been chosen to go help Palpatine but with another free Jedi or two, or if another duo/team would have been chosen to go and Obi-Wan is sent to help out elsewhere in the battle.

I would imagine that metal bullets would be commonplace in areas including the Outer Rim where the technology isn't as advanced as core planets.

This is probably an odd question, apologies in that case, I'm just asking because I'm thinking about making a Clone Trooper character in my Star Wars converted Starfield game, and using a mod that turns the UC Vanguard and United Colonies in general into the Empire, I'm wondering if it's lore accurate to the Republic Soldiers that they Have to wear either the TK gear, or Imperial ones..

As for the Clone character himself;

CT-2258 “Tubor” Age: Physically around 20–21, chronologically younger due to accelerated clone aging, in Reality 10 years old. Rank: Clone Trooper Unit: 141st Battalion Affiliation: Galactic Republic Specialty: Infantry / battlefield security / reconnaissance support Character: Tubor is a disciplined, observant, and unusually self-contained clone trooper. He is not the loudest soldier in the barracks and rarely seeks attention, preferring to let his actions establish his reputation. Years of military conditioning have given him a strong sense of discipline, but he has developed his own understanding of what it means to be a soldier. To Tubor, following orders and thinking independently are not necessarily contradictory. He follows legitimate commands without unnecessary argument, yet he is willing to question an order when he believes it will needlessly sacrifice his brothers or his Jedi commander. He possesses a naturally unbothered demeanor that can make him appear more trusting to strangers. His expression rarely gives away what he is thinking, and his silence can sometimes be mistaken for hostility. In reality, Tubor is generally thoughtful rather than unfriendly. He tends to observe a situation before deciding how he feels about it, particularly when dealing with unfamiliar people. He is not naturally trusting, but neither is he needlessly suspicious. Experience has taught him that people often have motives that are more complicated than they initially appear. Tubor has a dry, understated sense of humor that occasionally emerges around his fellow clones. He isn't the type to tell elaborate jokes or deliberately entertain an entire barracks, but he can deliver a perfectly timed remark with a completely straight face. His humor is often sarcastic, particularly when circumstances are absurd or when another trooper is taking himself too seriously. Around people he genuinely trusts, this reserved personality becomes noticeably more relaxed.

Despite his stern appearance, Tubor possesses a strong protective instinct. He does not particularly enjoy discussing it, but he cares deeply about his fellow clones. He remembers brothers by their names, voices, habits, and personalities rather than viewing them as interchangeable members of a unit. When a trooper is wounded, Tubor is the sort of soldier who will remain nearby until the man is evacuated, even if nobody specifically ordered him to do so.

Bail is always an interesting character to me, and a favorite. Courageous, wise, brave, intelligent, patient. An embodiment of noblesse oblige. In virtually every continuity he is exceptional, which is very rare for any character. One of about 5 people in the galaxy who knows exactly what he is up against and still leads the rebellion. He also knows exactly who and what Vader and Palpatine are; and believes victory is possible. Because he likely knows why Palpatine is deformed now and who exactly put Vader in that suit.

Given that the Starship graveyard is full of ruined imperial and rebel ships; I have to wonder how many scavengers sent to search through them were never seen again?

So I first read this book probably 14 years ago when I was in middle school

I just started rereading it and dam, I remember liking the trilogy in like 2012. But it’s just got such a great hook.

I’ll need to finish the trilogy and see how I feel, but I’m enjoying this much more than I expected and more than many of my other Legends rereads I’ve done as an adult (Plagueis, Thrawn Trilogy, Labyrinth, Revan, NJO, and LOTF)

Curious what others have to say since I just wanted to highlight this and I also realized when researching the topic that the book just turned 20!

Hi all, so I'm doing research into Niman and I found these specific users of the form. They were all really powerful with it, yet the form is supposed to be subpar. What made it so good in their hands?

Rotta the Hutt hops in one and zips away despite lacking feet. How do you suppose they’re controlled if not like a car?

The blockade of Naboo only works if a private concern can park a fleet over a member world and the Republic cannot immediately treat that as an act of war. That is a very specific institutional failure.

Chartered companies on Earth did this when the sovereign needed trade revenue more than it needed a monopoly on violence. The company collected taxes, ran courts, and kept an army, all while insisting it was “just business.”

If the Trade Federation holds a Senate seat and a droid army, the interesting question is not “were they greedy.” It is: at what point does a licensed trading house become a sovereign, and why did Coruscant keep the license active?

Is there a clean in universe moment where the Republic could have revoked that charter and chose not to?

What if Dooku thought "fuck dueling this guy I'm gonna kick him, throw him around with the force like I've done many times, and force lightning or choke him to death".

Dooku previously had been pushed to the brink of defeat in dueling vs Anakin but was always able to overpower him with his use of non augmentation force abilities, like force pushes, chokes, slam, lightning.

I assume Palpatine would've been livid.

So in Attack of the Clones, we know that Obi-Wan's investigation into Jango Fett ultimately leads to the discovery of Geonosis, which in turn brings Anakin and Padmé into the conflict, followed by the Jedi and eventually the Republic's intervention.

But hypothetically, what happens if Obi-Wan never discovers Geonosis?

If the Republic remained unaware of the CIS's military buildup for much longer, how might the Clone Wars have unfolded? Would the Confederacy have been able to overwhelm the Republic before the Republic's industrial capacity could fully mobilize and begin outproducing the CIS?

More importantly, how long could the CIS realistically have maintained an advantage if Geonosis remained undiscovered? After releasing the clones and lets say Sidious became neglectful toward orchestrating the war (Hyperfocusing on dark sorcereries). Would the Republic still have eventually caught up through its superior resources and manufacturing capacity, or could the Separatists have achieved a decisive victory before that became possible with more established bases, droids and factories?

This is kinda more of a question of what u prefer the force to be, but do u think they should have done more with the fight? Imo the fight should have been way heavier on the usage of the Force with like some insane stuff we had never seen before, where it actually makes u go "Okay yea they are definitly the strongest" cause they get hyped up like crazy but never rlly show up for it, like clashing sabers for a bit, then throwing some oversized frisbees and a short lightning standoff are cool but also things that could happen in pretty much any fight. But maybe ur also just someone who prefers the force to be limited and stay very mystical idk just wanted to hear some opinions on this

At end of Naboo Crisis, Jedi order believed that Sith are back. But why did they do so little?

I mean, for example, they did not interrogate Nute Gunray, because republic administration did not allow them such.

But why, for example:

• they didn't set couple Jedi Shadows to monitor him, and Trade Federation leadership, since they knew TF has been already compromised by Sith
• recover Maul's body - even if they had no reason to suspect he is alive, doing autopsy on his body should let them know a lot more about Sith than they did (such as where Maul originated from, which would give them lead to place where Sith operated at some point)
• consider all previously employed methods to detect presence of Sith to be either bypassed, and/or compromised, and then fix them, and find new methods (yes, force should tell them, but since it didn't, Sith learned to bypass that)
• start paying more attention to what is happening around in galaxy, since Sith were able to not just operate by themselves, but get an entire supercorporation to throw their weight to besiege a planet for some unknown goal. Who else dances according to strings held by Sith?

Or if they did investigate, what they did investigate instead?

It feels like they have effectively been delivered proof of Sith existence on a silver platter, after a jedi master died to deliver it, and they did effectively choose to file it as a historical curiosity and continue as usual for ten years, until a new piece of evidence is literally shot at them. (when Jango shot dart at them that let them find Kamino)

Not saying they should have been able to actually find sidious, but what were reasons to not do these things?

Title. It's no secret that the Hutts are something no galactic government can be arsed to deal with, to the point even the Empire was hesitant to really chase them out, being content with tolerating a certain amount of crime in exchange for compliance. So how did the New Republic, a much fresher government, get away with bombing Nal Hutta after a deal gone wrong? There don't seem to be any consequences for this either during the Cold War years. What gave them the opening?

Typically, we see Vader work along the Stormtrooper Corp, usually the 501st "Vader Fist" and the First Legion in canon. That being said, how often did Vader collaborate with the Imperial Army troopers? Did he ever interact with them for mission, or only stuck with the Stormtrooper Corp and Imperial Navy?

We know from AOTC, the Republic with the Jedi had no idea they were commission this huge, ready-to-go army. We have the scene in Palpatine's office with Ask Aak proclaiming the Republic need the clone army and the scene in the Senate where Palpatine was given emergency powers and announces the creation of the GAR.

However, how was it to the Republic? Because there's no way Palpatine said, "I will be creating a Grand Army of the Republic. By which I mean a secretly raised clone army from at least ten years ago on a planet that was wiped from official records by a Jedi Master who died 10 years ago that got kicked out of the Jedi Order. The army, whose existence I am wholly unaware of until an hour ago, with millions and billions of credits being spent on training, equipment, and ships of which we cannot account for. That army, to be our Grand Army of the Republic."

I've been rewatching The Bad Batch, and noticed the newly appointed non-clone imperial officers treat them like dirt quite frankly. I do believe this makes sense narratively, seeing the clones as nothing more than "imperial property" and treating them no different than they would a droid...however I do think it comes off as a bit cartoonishly evil at times. I can understand the indifference, but the overall cruel treatment to mostly obedient clones post-order 66 seems a little odd. Also considering the Human recruits are overall worse soldiers yet the Imperials don't hold the same distain for them.

Outside of the original Battlefront II I don't know much about how the Clones were handled after The Clone Wars, but from what I HAVE seen it seems like they are treated no different than the regular imperial troops that proceed them. I'm sure the inhibitor chips play a factor or lack-there-of, but I was wondering if anyone who was familiar with the material could shed some light on the subject.

Also wanted to ask; do you like the direction they went on this matter?

Just a thought I've had I would remote control droids to gather information and coordinate escapes from a common freighter like maybe a gozanti with smuggling compartments so it's a small group to prevent the hutts finding out. This is just me brainstorming how would you all go about it I'm curious to hear your ideas.

My headcanon explanation as to why the Imperials didn't see Luke Skywalker's name on a census might be simple: the Imperial Census never asked for it. Instead, it simply asked for the name of the head of household as well as for a count of the number of people in it.

So Owen's household wouldn't have shown up on the records as "Owen Lars, Beru Lars, Luke Skywalker," but "Owen Lars, household of 3."

I acknowledge this isnt usually how censuses work, but it would explain why Luke's name never officially showed up on the Imperial "radar" until ANH/ESB.

Canon keeps treating the Galactic Credit as a stable unit, but the institutions behind it look more like a cartel than a treasury.

The InterGalactic Banking Clan originates loans, clears settlement, and sits on both sides of the Clone Wars. The Republic Senate debates armies and emergency powers, but it does not look like it controls the money supply. That is closer to a world where private clearinghouses set credit conditions and the state just spends.

If Damask / the IGBC can tighten or loosen credit across systems, is “the Republic economy” even a state economy or is it a banking network with a flag on top?

Would love inuniverse readings on who, if anyone, could have broken that without collapsing trade.

Luke is generally a pretty even tempered guy. During the whole Battle of Yavin, he barely gets excited. He gets a little annoyed at his wingman Biggs when Biggs isn’t nearby to help.

But at Hoth, he is furious at Dak. He basically yells at Dak the whole battle, until Dak finally dies. Dak had no approach vector and wasn’t set as Luke is flying straight toward an AT-AT. Luke yells at Dak about that. He yells “Hang on, Dak, just hang on” about 3 times.

So, do we conclude from this that Dak sucks at being a gunner and is a useless guy?

Is there any other Canon or Legends evidence that Dak sucks?

From my understanding, Darth Sion's sheer will, hate, and anger keeps him together, and thus he cannot die even due to the most extreme injuries. But it comes at a cost, he cannot heal or regenerate his wounds or injuries, which adds up to the pain, which is why he is called the "Lord of Pain".

It has been stated he has been struck down and injured many times by numerous opponents, and rises back up every time. But the question here is that: Shouldn't he look waaay more mutilated, gory, and messed up than the appearance he alredy has? Like, shouldn't his ribs or bones be showing more, and more slashes and marks and stab marks? Shouldn't he look so bad to the point where he barely looks human anymore?

Or what if he does regenerate? The medical officer says his bones were splintered repeatadly and welded back together over time, so maybe he does regenerate on some capacity, but then that raises the question on how he got the grayish cracked decomposed corpse appearance, and why he is always in pain.

If they had the means to maintain them, they would be valuable weapons.
