Attention EU Geeks

If we use the Veil of the Force.

…what the Veil of The Force is, which is a concept that was made canon in the Star Wars Rebels animated series.

“The Veil of The Force is a mystical dimension of The Force connecting time, space, and alternate realities, kind of the ‘Quantum Realm’ of The Force,”

So we can easily have the “Truce at Bakura” timeline, at the same time as the “Thrawn Trilogy” timeline, as well as the “Dark Empire” (Dark Horse Comics) timeline.

and by definition, that means in some warped realm, the kk/disney films timeline is also possible.

Each has their place in Star Wars Canon.

As for when things fractured into different timelines, I would say at the shatter point Mace Windu saw in Anakin/Palpaltine, but not the one in Revenge of the Sith, but at the Return of the Jedi (Vader kills the Emperor).

Official Canon (George Lucas) stated the Emperor DIED on the Death Star II by Vader’s hand.

Anything that happens after this point in time I consider the fracture point in Star Wars:

Palpaltine did die.

Palpaltine’s force-spirit escaped to Exegol (Episode IX).

Palpaltine’s force-spirit escapes to a clone-body (Dark Empire).

Palpaltine’s body gets hit by the Millenium Falcon and floats away into space (Adult Swim-parady).

Everything else fits in, IMO.

Quote: I think I know enough of the basics of the EU; Luke marries Mara Jade (who originally tried to kill him)… Correct. In fact she does kill an evil twisted dark side clone of Luke called Luuke created by DNA from his lost hand. The lost lightsaber becomes hers till she finally makes her own with a amathyst gem. Ben may inherit the blade then I dont recall what happened to it.

and they have a son named Ben… Correct. Ben Skywaker has a long career as a Jedi.

Han and Leia have twins, Jacen and ???… Jaina. (may have spelled it wrong.) At different points in the EU both actually fall to the dark side more than once. jains during the height of the Yuuzahn Vong war and again during an incident with an incet race called Killiks. She brought herself back for the love of her parents and friends. Jacen fell also during the Vong war cause he was captured and tortured for what seems like years. He came back but wasnt as fully on the path of light as the twin after that incident. He fell again cause of a darkside user called Lumiya telling him he could be stronger than Vader (or her for that matter) cause he had no cybernetics. Lastly there was a second son named Anakin. His death at the close of the Vong war sparked the Jedi victory over those extragalactic invaders.

As I have said more times than I care to count Leia nevr knew ObiWan as Ben. She has no reason to name her son this. Han thought the old man was a fool, I doubt he would even suggest the name. It on the other hand made perfect sense for Lukes son. Calling the EMO bitch Ben in 4.75 remade was nothing but an insult to anyone who knew the source material. That Krazy KK said didnt exist.

Quote: So we can easily have the “Truce at Bakura” timeline, at the same time as the “Thrawn Trilogy” timeline, as well as the “Dark Empire” (Dark Horse Comics) timeline.

Those stories all coincide without stepping on eachother. They build on eachother in fact. the Dark Empire book led directly to the Jedi academy book trilogy the following year. No DE was a terrible book then just as it is now. It is not a alternate universe. It was simply a bad idea given life.

I love the EU but some of the early work is rightly panned. I never read any of the comics. I stopped reading comics before they came back after the Thrawn trilogy was successful. I had to keep my expenses down cause of a wife and stepkids. Everything starting with the Yuuzan Vong invasion was amazing. Series that lasted in some cases 20 books all tied to a single storyline that all built on the galaxy at large. Compared to the rat franchise where a skype call can teleport a necklace across the universe. FUCK THAT.

So no the rat franchise timeline does not correspond to anything in the EU. Hell the cartoons dont even correspond to the EU (except TCW03) cause Pablo the Hutt & Cowgirl Dave didnt give two fucks about anything that came before they were hired. Its not a surprise they fit so well with the Krazy KK ‘story group’ so well.

You need to go back to school and learn about buying companies Cowgirl David. This is an embarrassing look for you, and that’s saying something.

Even if we ignore the “Veil of the Force” (even thought it is in Star Wars Rebels), the question of when things could have changed directions still IS, IMO, that moment on the Death Star II.

a split from the official timeline

Did Emperor Palpaltine die?  Did he survive?

Did Luke next met the Emperor after the Death Star on Exegol, or earlier (Dark Empire).

etc.

This is the point the split occurred.

So even before KK/Disney, long time fans and the discussions on the original theatrical releases verses the Special Editions, I still go back to the Vader’s turning back to the Light Side/tossing Emperor down the shaft/etc, as the split point of possible outcomes.

Did we get the older Vader force ghost or a young Anakin force ghost in Return of the Jedi?

Vader (now Anakin once more) kills the Emperor = older force ghost.

Vader does not permanently kill the Emperor = younger force ghost.

Otherwise, why don’t we get a young Ben force ghost or a young Yoda force ghost?

I go back to the same moment where the change took place.

Balance to the force restored, the chosen one prophecy fulfilled, the Emperor is dead.

Or… we get the alternative.

Oh fuck off bootlicker. Go piss on soiboi and call it rain.

It amazes me that Cowgirl David makes fun of left wingers in the political threads, and then goes and cries about people having different opinions here. You do realize you’re doing exactly what you say you hate right? Don’t worry, we can all see that you’re old, fat, and single. If you need to take all your anger out on a random guy on a forum, I’ll be the bigger man and let you. I’m sure someone will love you eventually.
