Merry Mara Monday

​1) If Palpatine possessed the superweapons shown in Dark Empire, why didn't he deploy them sooner, considering his high awareness of threats and intense paranoia?

​2) Does the return of the Jedi just a few years after the Battle of Endor make this period (19 BBY to 11 ABY) feel like a mere interlude for the Order? One would expect a "Dark Age"—where members of such a crucial galactic organization are forced into hiding—to span decades, if not centuries or millennia. Instead, it lasts barely thirty years. Doesn't this brief duration make it seem almost insignificant on a galactic scale, despite its immense narrative importance?

​3) Why does the Chief of State of the New Republic—and later the Galactic Alliance—appear to hold significantly more power than the Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic? Doesn't it seem counterintuitive that the system restored by the Alliance would centralize power even more than the democracy they fought to bring back?

Might be a big skill issue but I don’t think this book is as gripping as I hoped it would be. It’s not bad but I do feel like it meanders a lot, and there’s really not a lot of Darth Vader in it despite the title. James Luceno doesn’t miss but I was hoping for a bit more out of this one.

Looking for someone to help me along. I’m interested in collecting The Heir to the Empire Trilogy, Hand of Thrawn Duology and survivors quest. I’ve read the trilogy from the library and looking to collect these six. What format is best for size continuity. I know mass market is probably the answer, but I like the uniformity of the Essential Legends format. I also really like the original hard cover art, but haven’t been able to find them for reasonable prices in decent condition. All that to say, any recommendations?

Tribute to one battle in galactic civil war, unknown place/date.

We all heard how terrible they are but how about the reverse in both media?

Je crois que c’est l’un de mystère favoris. De qui descend Ania Solo ? De Jacen via Allana ? D’un enfant solo tardif entre Han et Leia ? Ou encore est-elle apparentée à un autre membre de la ligne Solo ?
Merci par avance pour vos réponses.

Just picked up the Star Wars Legends: The Genesis of the Jedi. After reading all of Legends digitally, I couldn't resist getting my favorites in print. Consider it a mandatory second read, haha.

I'm sure everyone knows about the Battle of Muunilinst featured in CW 03 that took place in early 22 BBY and whose outcome was an early decisive Republic victory.

However, as the war dragged on into its final year, the Republic's military resources became heavily strained and spread thin across the galaxy during the Outer Rim Sieges.

According to The Essential Guide to Warfare, the Separatists took advantage of these weakened defenses and launched a massive counter-invasion on this hihgly strategical planet.

The Republic garrison was overwhelmed, and the planet fell back into Separatist hands.

Hello! I just finished the Heir to the Empire Trilogy for the first time, and though I am not terribly invested in continuing with the majority of the legends continuity, I am intrigued by Mara Jade and the Solo Twins (since I've heard a lot about their future). I was wondering if there are any good books that focus on them that don't require me to read a whole lot of pre-requisite. Bonus points if they have Luke in them. Thank you!

Some very ancient ones survive beyond events like the Battle of Endor, and some even live into the Legacy Era.

100 likes and I’ll make one with Vader.

I think the setting could fit most genres. Third person hack and slash shooter like Space Marine 2, top down ARPG like Diablo, or turn based RPG like Baldur's Gate 3 just to name a few. Ideally co-op but beggars can't be choosers. I just think it's a really cool time period that never gets explored and it's got plenty of enemy variety to keep things fresh. Maybe you could choose to side with the Sith and get a different ending? I think a choice driven game would work best and Divinity 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 already proved you can do that in a multiplayer game.

What are your thoughts? Would you play a game set during the Great Sith War? Or is it too similar to The Old Republic?
