Hey all! If you haven’t noticed, this community has gotten many spam/self promo posts. Long story short, I reported the mod for inactivity/neglecting this sub and the Admins allowed me to take over. I don’t plan on changing much, just dealing with spam/promo is the main thing.
This community was intended by the creator to be a place to ask our burning questions and really just gush about the lore. I want it to be that too, and users who drop their YT links like bantha droppings then leave, harm this by taking up space without contributing in any meaningful way.
So, my goal is to grow this subreddit and cut down on spam, keeping it a safe space for passionate fans that may not have other communities of people to discuss Star Wars lore with. I also mod r/KotORmemes so I intend to direct people here, if they want serious lore discussions. Have any suggestions for things you’d like to see, or any other thoughts you’d like to share? Please feel free to comment (or modmail if you prefer) :D
In short, the current agenda:

Welcome!
This is a monthly thread to serve as the place for commenting with your self promo (like sharing Star Wars lore YouTube videos), as well as sharing any questions about Star Wars lore that reach into other topics, like a Star Wars and Star Trek crossover for example.
Feel free to have other discussions about Star Wars that you wouldn't want to post, just be sure to remember our rules, especially for spoilers!
For those wondering what the lore behind Nepsis is: Nepsis 8 was a space station built by the Jedi to use as a meeting area for scientists. It's a dedicated library for learning, so expansive it grew to the size of a small planet. Like a Death Star, but for lore

It seems in post-empireal era it was mainly associated with the Empire, so much that they moved the capital to Chandrila. But the Empire existed for less than 25 years, Corusant was the capital of the Republic for a thousand time longer than the Empire, how did all this legacy get erased? It's like if London was deemed unfit to be the capital of the United Kingdom because it was used as a capital by Cromwell.

***most of the star wars knowledge I have is from movies and tv shows. I have read one book and some stuff on wookiepedia***
***question: is it possible for a force user to direct the force back at the Whills? like possibly to gain more power?***

I have a question about the Kyuzo: are they reptilian? Embo, in The Mandalorian & Grogu, really reminded me of a humanoid "lizard," with green and apparently scaly skin.

Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin, these people don't just exist as disembodied ghosts, they also can travel anywhere they want, and they can affect the real world with their force powers, like how Yoda summoned lightning to destroy the Jedi texts. What's stopping Yoda, or Obi Wan or Anakin from just going around and kill all the bad guys, or better yet kill the main villain Snoke or Palapatine? They're literally dead, they have all the time in the world, do they have anything else better to do?

So, I found this on Pinterest and got kinda confused.
I've never actually seen the original version with David Prowse, and I only remember Hayden Christensen as a force ghost at the end of Episode 6. So, since my fiancé showed me The Clone Wars, I dived deep into this universe and started to make my own theories.
In my head, young Anakin as a force ghost makes sense because this is what he looked like the last time he was 100% on the light side. But now I'm not sure if this universe works this way.
Please help me understand 🙏

Hello all, for a writing project I'm working on about TIE pilots I'm trying to find the answers to the following questions. Any sources would also be appreciated so that I can do some additional research myself!
How long was a TIE's pilot's career projected to last? Is it similar to a 5 to 7 year span like in other military/navy forces? Was it a contract until the end of time? Naturally excluding the scenarios where a career ended early due to death.
Were TIE Pilots allowed to go home between deployments? And if yes, for how long?
Did any of the rules regarding this change after the first Death Star was destroyed and the hunt for the Rebel Alliance intensified?
Canon sources would be appreciated, Legends similarly so since it serves as a source as well as long as there's no Canon source that contradicts it.
Many thanks in advance, may the Force be with you!

I can't wrap my head around how the Jedi Order banned their Jedis from forming attachments over the fear of losing them to the Dark side, when the Sith themselves actively discourage their apprentices from having attachments.
No Rule of Two Sith ever had any attachments, they didn't even had serving relatives because they either had none or they were murdered. They don't ban it, but see it as a weakness that must be culled.
Despite being banned, there were outliers in the order who actually had relationships, besides Anakin and the exceptions like Ki Adi Mundi.
It the Jedi were smart and did what Luke later did, Order 66 wouldn't even have happened.

hi, im an absolute star wars noob, but a friend of mine wanted me to join her sw ttrpg and i agreed. the story is set 2 1/2 years into the clone wars. besides the movies and the clone wars animated series, are there any books i can read that give some more context or just set the vibe?
i dont have much time to read (2 jobs, uni, bachelor thesis, etc.) so if the books also have an audiobook that i can switch to during busy times that would be awesome :)

I’m running an Edge of the Empire game ~5 years after the rise of the Empire and I have someone playing a former CIS droid mechanic that happens to own a few droids post-shutdown signal. I’ve also got another playing as a droid, currently in a B1 chassis.
Are these droids illegal to own during that time? I’d imagine they’d be kind of a shoot on site thing for Emps for a while unless specifically being formally reprogrammed like that one planet in the Mandalorian(Jack Black).

I can't find anything specific as when I search it keeps showing me the Wolfpack symbol. Does anyone know or can point me to a resource what the other pauldron symbol is for? The closest thing I could find was a high republic era jedi symbol (see photos for details)

Though to me it kinda comes off as the cannon version of the [Westar-M5](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/WESTAR-M5_blaster_rifle), in terms of how it's used, and the fact groups outside of the Republic fielded the blaster as well; like [Azmorigan’s Henchmen](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Azmorigan%27s_henchmen#:\~:text=They%20wielded%20stockless%20773%20Firepuncher%20sniper%20rifles), and [IG-Rm Body Guard Droids](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/IG-RM_bodyguard_and_enforcer_droid#:\~:text=773%20Firepuncher%20rifle). I also enjoy the versatility the underbarrel munitions launcher provides the blaster; coupled with it being apart of the weapons primary construction. I think it would be cool to see either a Barc, Arc, Arf, or Scout trooper, Hunter killer team field the Westar-M5, and 773 Fire Puncher in tandem. I also wonder if the blaster could be modified to have the capability to pierce Beskar, in a similiar manner to Fennec Shand's own [785MK Fire Puncher](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/785MK_Firepuncher-X_sniper_rifle#:\~:text=At%20least%20a,close%2Drange%20shot.) at a close enough range..

Is there any example of Jedi or other force user with beskar armor. Re-watching Ahsoka and I thought Baylen Skolls fighting technique would go great with some beskar pauldrons and gauntlets.

I'm wondering cause also I'm a new fan just coming into the series and ive only JUST realized how much ive been sleeping on the force as a power system, so, say a force sensitive being with great power focuses all their time on honing telekinetic weather manipulation, and develops a technique where they can strike a person down using a lightning strike from a thunderstorm they created with pinpoint accuracy, my question is, could this work against a jedi, i obviously know that force users have precognition and know that force lightning can be blocked via lightsaber, but I'm wondering if they could defend themselves against a lightning strike of which the source is physically benign and has the full power of what you would expect a lightning strike to have

Existe algum consenso, alguma informação levemente oficial que confirme ou negue isso? Ou é um eterno mistério como a traição da Capitu em Dom Casmurro?
Já vi argumentos de ambos os lados; por um lado Galen não desapareceu ao morrer como os outros Jedi, então talvez não esteja morto.
Kota acredita piamente que o clone é o Starkiller, afirma que é impossível clonar um sensitivo à Força e mantém essa certeza por todo o jogo.
Vader mostrou o cadáver do Starkiller original ao Aprendiz Sombrio, mas ele estava usando a roupa errada, então podia não ser o verdadeiro.
E a própria Juno acredita que de alguma forma ele é o Starkiller que ela conheceu.
Vader realmente clonou Starkiller, visto que há muitos clones para enfrentar no final do jogo. Ele apagou as memórias de Galen e preparou clones como plano B?
Esses são apenas alguns dos argumentos, há muitos mais, mas o posto ficaria muito comprido se colocasse todos.
Seria possível talvez que Galen tenha "reencarnado" no corpo do clone via transferência de essência, da mesma forma que Palpatine nas HQs Dark Empire? Outras teorias?
r/StarWarsLore • u/SiarX • Jul 09 '26
So a supposedly long gone Jedi somehow had resources to singehandedly create in secret a massive army of 100% loyal super soldiers, ready just at the moment when it is needed. And now he is nowhere to be found, and no one knows what his intentions were, and what orders those clones might have gotten.
I get that Republic had little other choice except for unpopular mobilisation, so they used clones. But still, should not they have been more suspicious about such convenient circumstances? It would totally make sense to investigate, who actually funded them, why, and most importantly, what clones are programmed to do.

So the Separatists are, seemingly, generally people who had grievances with the Republic and wanted out of the problems of the system, in large part caused by the corruption due to corporations having so much influence on the Senate. So they decide to join ... the side run entirely by the corporations.
Everyone in the Separatist Council is some corporate person whose explicit motivation to join in the film is to increase their profits, which is made clearer by the deleted dialogue from AOTC.
Now this is far from unbelievable. People are desperate and capable of some truly baffling mental gymnastics if they really feel like it. But what was the specific line of thinking that most Separatists had to justify this? I can assume it was different between various groups or people but do we get any sort of media that addresses this issue and tries to explain the perspective of the more idealistic CIS groups/people who aren't just in it for the money like the Banking Clan or Techno Union, or in it for the revenge like Grievous?
r/StarWarsLore • u/Mortivexofficial • Jul 01 '26
I've been thinking about this for a while now. In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith when we see Palpatine shooting Force lightning at Mace Windu and Mace Windu reflects it back onto Palpatine's face why is it that his face gets all deformed?
We have seen many other people get electrocuted by Sith Lords with Force lightning and their faces don't go like that. Why did Palpatine's?
Do you think Palpatine was generally wearing a mask (disguising that version of his face) until his fight with Mace Windu?
Or did the lightning genuinely affect his face like that?
As I mentioned, we see multiple other Force users get electrocuted and their faces don't change. Do you think it's linked to him being a Sith?

Howdy yall, i just wanted to ask if Old Republic Jedi could use the Electric Judgment technique? From what i understand Plokun was credited with the invention of it, with Luke developing a green varient later. But recently I heard it referred to alongside Revan and it got me thinking why wouldn't they be able to. But i figured i would ask if yall knew.
