Welcome back to episode 2 of my new breakdown video script series of the new Star Wars EU Novel: Supernatural Encounters by Joe Bongiorno! In this series I go through the 1,050 page odyssey, chapter by chapter, and point out every reference and easter egg I spotted in the book. Today we will be taking a look at Supernatural Encounter’s Prologue, titled Prologue: The Life and Death of a Historian. Before we begin, I will briefly mention the obvious spoiler warning for those of you who have not yet read the Prologue to Supernatural Encounters, as well as urging you to take the time to go back and watch the first episode, which deals with the Introduction to Supernatural Encounters. With all that out of the way, let’s jump into the Prologue, which begins on page 15 and ends on page 20, though 2 of those pages are taken up by absolutely gorgeous art depicting an event from the prologue. Before I get into specific references and connection breakdowns, I will briefly summarize what the events of this section entails. We are introduced to Arhul Hextrophon via this beautifully written narrative portion, set in 38 ABY. We meet Arhul who is older in his life now, I would estimate him to likely be in his 50’s or 60’s by this point in time. Arhul is in his study mulling over his life and all he had accomplished in it. He thinks on many grandiose concepts, the value of the battle against evil, and whether or not all has been for nothing. He reflects on his time fighting against The Empire with the Rebels, and his time as a notable historian and archaeologist. As the night progresses, Arhul’s contemplative somber demeanor turns to an anxious nervousness, as he knows something is coming for him. Arhul is clearly fearful for his life by this time, but he attempts to remain calm as darkness literally comes for him. These beings are literal shadows that serve a greater currently unseen threat. They are furious with Arhul for learning knowledge that only the Celestias had known and for publishing it as a manuscript and distributing it into the Galaxy days prior, (as we learned from the introduction, he distributed the manuscript via Q9-X7 and Mistress Mnemos among others). Arhul seems to have been anticipating this encounter with the shadow beings, and they attempt to possess him, so they can discredit his work, making him appear like a lunatic, which would thus keep their master’s existence secret by invalidating Arhul’s work’s revelations. Arhul refuses to become their puppet, knowing this was seal his fate. As the shadows envelope him, he sees a mysterious man within the shadows in clothing that is of the prior century, this is when Arhul knows no more and dies. There’s a ton of references within these portions, particularly during Arhul’s musings, and I must say, this Prologue is written in a breathtaking manner and had me on tenter hooks. The tension is palpable here, and it builds slowly, allowing the reader’s dread to build with Arhul’s. The first reference we find is in the opening quotation that is placed before we get into the main text. The quote reads, ““For what they have done and continue to do, I see no limit to the horror to which Mankind is heir… Men hovering forever on the brink of secret, abyssal oceans of supernatural terror, severed from the next world by a thin veneer which will soon be rent.” This quotation is attributed to something called The Journal of Lord Nyax. Lord Nyax is essentially the boogeyman of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a Corellian legend about a powerful man from the shadows who would kidnap children. The legend was often based on actual exploits of Darth Vader’s that were incorporated into the in-universe folklore. Eventually violent and dangerous cults sprung up, of individuals who followed the mythic fictional Lord Nyax legend, so I assume this journal is probably written by one of the cultists who followed the legend of Lord Nyax. The myth of Lord Nyax was first mention in The New Jedi Order: Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand. The next thing I noted, as we follow Arhul’s brooding contemplation on his final night, comes in the form of his observation of the moonlight. As the moon shines down on the fields around him, Arhul notes the chicory and lyris that grow in the fields on Chandrila. Chicory are a real world plant, that can be found on several continents, the plant sports pretty blue flowers. The Lyris is our next notable reference, as the lyris was a type of flower first mention in The Dark Nest Trilogy, specifically in The Joiner King by Troy Denning. Now we know that Lyris grow on at least Chandrila. And for any avid botanist Star Wars EU fans, we now know that chicory grow in a galaxy far far away as well. Arhul reflects on the many heroes he had known over the years, such as Mon Mothma who he thinks of as notably departed, which is a reference to her death in 24 ABY (12 years prior) as first mentioned in The New Essential Chronology. During his brooding Arhul drinks a type of whiskey called Segir Reserve, which as far as I can tell is not from any prior source, so this beverage makes its first appearance here. Next Arhul reminisces on the words of a Lurmen Chieftain whom he once interviewed. The quote being, “War only feeds the violence, engorging the bloated death-worm that cares nothing for ideologies or sides.” The Lurmen species also called Mygeetans are a primitive furred sentient species that first appeared in season 1 episode 13 of The Clone Wars television series, an episode called “Jedi Crash”. The Chieftain whom Arhul spoke to is revealed to be Wag-Too. Chief Wag-Too first appeared once again in The Clone Wars episode “Jedi Crash”. But in that episode he was not a chief, but a young member of a Lumen tribe, and the son of the current Chief during the Clone Wars era, named Tee Watt Kaa. I think that it’s super cool that Supernatural Encounters establishes that by Arhul’s time, Wag-Too had succeeded his father as the next Lumen Chieftain. However, Wag-Too’s words that Arhul recalls, are not Wag-Too’s own words. Wag-Too was quoting from an unnamed Sylphe King’s writings, this unidentified King being the monarch of the planet Sainte-Evanëflore. The humanoid botanical Sylphe species first appeared in Issue number 2 of the French role-playing magazine Avalon, and their home planet Sainte-Evanëflore first appeared in the Star Wars article: Quatre nouveaux profils pour Star Wars, which was featured in another French role-playing game magazine, this one being Casus Belli issue number 95. This is a super deep cut lore reference, and I absolutely adore it. But Arhul’s thoughts and reflections on these quotes regarding war, leads his thought process to yet another reference. The Sylphe King’s writings reminds Arhul of a passage from an in-universe book called “The Challenge of Peace”, a book written by the Nuiwit Council of Elders. The Altorian Nuiwit’s were a primitive sentient reptilian species that first appeared in Galaxy Guide #2: Yavin and Bespin. The Nuiwit’s governing body, known as the Council of Elders was first mentioned in Galaxy Guide #4: Alien Races, the revised edition. The passage from the Nuiwit Elders says, “In war, there is no good and evil, only spilt blood and shattered bones.” Arhul then recalls another quote, this one being from the ex-Rebel, turned City of Dreams founder Cody-Sunn Childe. The character referenced, Cody Sunn-Childe, originally comes from the original Marvel comic series, specifically appearing in issue number 46. Cody is portrayed as a pacifist in that comic book issue, and the quotation recalled here by Arhul reflects that, as he denounces war with his words, “The most fervent expression of the Father of Shadows, serving nought but him and those who serve him.” Arhul then ponders on if the Rebels had wasted their time in the time he spent with them fighting the Empire. He notates that Emperor Palpatine was evil incarnate from his perspective, and believes that trying to dethrone him justified their fight. Arhul’s musings are interrupted by what I think is another connection, as a mournful Silverwing’s call pierces the night and his thoughts. There is a TIE Fighter squadron called SilverWing Squadron that appeared briefly in a West End Games sourcebook, The Far Orbit Project by Timothy S. O’Brien. I assume that squadron is named for this animal that we see here for the first time, if intended, a neat little reference. Arhul reflects on his easy going upbringing, followed by a horrific event that forced him into joining the Rebels, a catalyst that will be expanded much more later on. Arhul finishes his glass of sequir reserve and drinks something next that is called saqua, which I believe makes its appearance for the first time here. The new beverage Arhul consumes is drank out of a tulip-shaped snifter. A snifter is a real world glass, and the dictionary gives its definition as “a short-stemmed goblet with a bowl narrowing toward the top.” Arhul describes the snifter as tulip-shaped, implying the real world tulip flowers exist somewhere within the Star Wars universe. I believe this is the first in-universe mentions of snifters and tulips here. As Arhul tugs on his stubble, he notices the crystal skull that he has on the desk in his study. Crystal skulls have a long and nuanced history in Star Wars. Dating back to the visual depiction of a crystalline skull on the cover of Brian Daley’s Han Solo and the Lost Legacy. The cover features a crystal skull, though such a skull does not appear in the novel itself; the skull on the cover is in reference to both Xim the Despot being dead and the mytag crystals which he had stockpiled. The crystal skull itself does not appear. In episode 22 of The Clone Wars television series, the season 3 finale; an unidentified alien’s elongated crystal skull is seen to be among the many trophies of Trandoshan Hunter Garnac. The episode titled, “Wookiee Hunt” makes reference to the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; as the skull seen in the episode is identical to that of the alien crystal skull featured in that film. This Star Wars Indiana Jones reference is a very interesting preexisting lore Easter egg to Indiana Jones, and Supernatural Encounters will expand upon the already present Indiana Jones references. The skull on Arhul’s desk is most likely the one displayed in The Clone Wars show, as the show’s skull actually exists in universe, and doesn’t simply adorn a cover. As the darkness closes in on him, Arhul once more notes the scenic hills upon which the loosestrife and iris are growing there. Loosestrife is a real world plant, making its first appearance in Star Wars here. The iris is a real world flower, that is actually already in Star Wars, with the Rigellian Iris that was first mentioned in Sean Stewart’s novel: Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. This iris may be a different kind, or perhaps it is the same as the Rigellian Iris indigenous to Rigel 7. Arhul is then confronted by the creatures made of shadow that creep into his library. The creatures claim they are The Emissaries of Shadow, and they refute Arhul’s claims that he knows what master they serve. The ghouls then mention Dread Typhojem, a Sith deity that made a previous published appearance in The Book of Sith by Daniel Wallace, who was seeking to tie his sourcebook into the drafts of Supernatural Encounters. Typhojem was established to also be known as The Left Handed God. The moniker or title, The Left Handed God, was first mentioned in the comic book story “The Pandora Effect” by Alan Moore, which was included in The Empire Strikes Back Monthly Magazine number 151. The beings mention they are not the pawn of the rulers of planets Xanthiir and Oozultharoum, two planets that are apart of the anti-Force, and will be expanded upon later on. These dark, and eery planets made their first appearance here. This is when the shadow creatures swirl around Arhul and he is no more, murdered by tyrannical forces of darkness. That wraps up my breakdown for Supernatural Encounters: Prologue: The Life and Death of a Historian. Let me know in the comments if I missed any references, easter eggs, or other connections. Join me next time when we cover Chapter 1: Division and Debate! See you then!

Hello there everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Brennan and I’m an EU fan who operates the YouTube channel Quinlan Vos. After the new Star Wars EU Novel, Supernatural Encounters released, I decided to make YouTube videos breaking down all the easter eggs, references, and connections in a section by section series of analysis videos. To do this, I had to write extensive scripts for the videos. Rather then throw the scripts  immediately out, like I do with my other video scripts, I contacted Mr. Matt Wilkins, to ask if he wanted to throw these scripts up on the site with my notations and script breaking down the new book. And to my delight, he thought it was a cool idea. So here is the first of the text version of my video breakdown series. Hope you guys enjoy! Welcome to the video script for Episode 1 of Brennan’s Breakdowns of Star Wars Supernatural Encounters. A series where I go through the 1,050 page behemoth, chapter by chapter, and point out every reference and easter egg I spot in the book. This series is going to take a long time and a ton of research and editing, so I hope you will enjoy the journey we are about to embark on. Before we go any further I will mention the obvious: Spoilers for Supernatural Encounters, so if you want to read Supernatural Encounters without knowing any of the connections or spoilers, stop right now, and come back after you’ve completed the first portion. Before we delve into the text itself, let’s start off by talking about what Supernatural Encounters is. I’ve done a few videos on the channel in the past about Supernatural Encounters, so I expect everyone here will know what it is, but just in case, here’s what Joe Bongiorno wrote about the behind the scenes history of the work: -What's the behind-the-scenes history of the Encounters duology? "Cult Encounters of the Star Wars Universe" and “Supernatural Encounters of the Star Wars Universe” were originally intended to be published as articles in Star Wars Gamer magazine, as followups to "The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Marvel Series" in Star Wars Gamer (2000), an in-universe article Rich Handley (my co-author of Cult Encounters) and I wrote for the first issue of the magazine, with illustrations by Joe Corroney. Although Rich and I received the greenlight from Lucasfilm, only “Cult Encounters” was far enough along when Star Wars Gamer ended in 2002. They were later conceptually reworked as "Cult Encounters: Excerpts from the Last Days of Arhul Hextrophon" and Supernatural Encounters: The Trial and Transformation of Arhul Hextrophon, novellas that had been intended for publication on the Star Wars Hyperspace service, a Lucasfilm exclusive content initiative for which several articles, novellas, and short stories had been commissioned, such as Rich Handley's “Lando Calrissian: Idiot's Array” in 2008. The framework of Supernatural Encounters was first written at the end of 2007. Pablo Hidalgo, an old colleague from my West End Games (and SWFA) days, who was then in charge of the Star Wars site, approved it for publication on Hyperspace. I signed a licensing agreement and a tax form and proceeded. A work of this nature--involving the ancient past--required a lot of work, research, and editing to make sure everything was right, and I was given the time time to continue working on the manuscript until it was put on the schedule. Work on Supernatural Encounters was yet ongoing when, in 2010, it was abruptly announced that the new management at LFL were discontinuing Hyperspace. Since CE and SE were never cancelled, it was hoped that they would find a new home elsewhere and I continued working on the manuscript. In the interim, creations original to the Encounters duology were incorporated into other works by my colleagues. Ampotem Za was added in the 2007 Hyperspace article “Aliens of the Empire,” by Abel G. Peña and Rich Handley. The Rozzum and Typhojem found their way into the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide and Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side, by Dan Wallace. Then, in late 2015, Rich Handley and I approached Lucasfilm regarding the Encounters duology, as they had expressed interest in publishing the works on the new Star Wars Blog. Matt Martin (of the Lucasfilm Story Group, who then ran the site) and Dan Brooks (who ran the Blog) approved the works for publication, with the plan being to publish them in parts due to the length of Supernatural Encounters. I suggested an alternative means: posting them on my personal website as Abel G. Peña had done with SkyeWalkers, which had been published earlier that year. They could then be linked to or embedded in the Blog. They approved this and my plan to further edit the works over the coming months to ensure they were up-to-date. And here’s what he said about its licensing: Yes; I filled out the requisite legal documents (a CA-587 form, which is called a Non-Resident Withholding Allocation Worksheet and W-9 tax form) when the stories were first approved for publication by Pablo Hidalgo, the same licensing process I went through for my previous contributions to the Expanded Universe. There isn't any Lucasfilm licensing process beyond this.  The 2008 and 2013 emails between me and Lucasfilm which attest to the veracity of this can be read here. Now that we have an in depth understanding of what Supernatural Encounters is, from its original conception as a short story novella, that has now blossomed into a 1,050 page epic odyssey; let’s delve into the actual text. Before we get to Chapter 1, or even the prologue, first we have to take a look at the Introduction, which encompasses pages 12-14. We start with a paragraph quotation from an unspecified date, I assume a quotation from ancient times, that reads: “Over the Spirits of Mortals spread the Mantigrue Wings of Colossal Monsters and all manner of murky things that prey upon the heart and soul and body. Yet it may be, in some far day, the Shadows shall fade and their Dark Father be chained forever in his Abyss. Till then, Mortals can but stand up stoutly to the monsters in their own hearts and without, and with the aid of the Supreme Maker, he may yet triumph.” From The Teachings of the Dai Bendu, by Brother Rowade. In this paragraph we get our first reference, with the mention of the Mantigrue creature which are also known as Condor Dragons. The Mantigrue originally appeared in The Adventures of Teebo: A Tale of Magic and Suspense picture book, afterwards appearing in the Ewoks cartoon and in the Galaxies MMO video game. The Mantigrue is a creature native to Endor, so it is interesting that brother Rowade would be aware of an obscure Endorian creature for his analogy. We also get a reference to the Order of Dai Bendu, an ancient sect of Force Users who were precursors to the Jedi Order. The Order was founded before 37,453 BBY; and appeared in many EU sourcebooks as well as a prominent spot in the Dawn of the Jedi comic book series. Moving onto the true beginning Introduction of the book, we jump into 38 ABY, 2 years after the end of the Dark Nest Trilogy with the book’s introduction. An introduction that is in-universe, as it is revealed to be Mammon Hoole’s 2 page introduction to the history of Arhul Hextrophon’s in-universe writings and memoirs about his experiences, titled “Introduction to the Expanded Edition”. This is another amazing reference, as Mammon Hole is a main character featured in the Galaxy of Fear books who popped up in a ton of source material. A renowned Shi’Ido geneticist Hoole has an incredibly in-depth historical knowledge of the galaxy. The man he writes about, Arhul Hextrophon, the main protagonist of Supernatural Encounters is a character that was first featured in West’s End Games Star Wars Sourcebook. Arhul would later go onto appear in further West End Games material, shown to be a in-universe writer and avid historian; before Leland Chee retroactively named him as a previously unidentified character in the original Star Wars film, A New Hope. A Rebel who was seen during the Medal Ceremony at the end, played by Nick Joseph. Moving further into Hoole’s introduction, he describes the history of historian Arhul Hextrophon’s writings, explaining their origin, and how they were written and revised at 3 different times, after Arhul’s trip to Otherspace 3 years prior in 35 ABY. The original writing, shaving of content, and then reapplication of cut content from Arhul’s written account is a reference that reflects the real world writing process of Supernatural Encounters that Joe Bongiorno went through in writing the book, which is quite clever. We also get the reference to Otherspace, an alternate dimension filled with horrors that originated from the West End Games sourcebooks. Mammon Hoole mentions that the manuscripts were found at the house of Arhul Hextrophon, after his apparent death, on Chandrila. Chandrila being a prominent planet seen throughout the EU, that originated in The Star Wars Sourcebook, perhaps best known for being the home planet of Rebel Alliance Leader Mon Mothma. Mammon Hoole also mentions the primary sidekick of the book in the opening introduction, Arhul’s droid companion Q9-X7. Q9-X7 is apart of the Q9-Series of Astromech Droids, which made appearances in The Corellian Trilogy and later New Jedi Order. The Q9 series were considered to be extremely advanced and high tech; yet experimental. Despite the Q9 line of Droid appearing in several EU sources, this was the first appearance of this specific model, Q9-X7. Mammon Hoole goes on to mention that Arhul and Q9 collaborated in archiving the written accounts via Mistress Mnemos and a new character named Professor Misqa Tonique. Mistress Mnemos is an AI supercomputer that was associated with the Rebels… that first appeared in Russ Manning’s LA Times Magazine comic strips; the first appearance in the strips being in The Gambler’s World arch. Next Mammon Hoole notes that The New Republic Historical Council finds Arhul’s works to be incredibly controversial for their potentially galaxy changing revelations. The New Republic Historical Council is a group associated with the New Republic and the New Jedi Order; that appeared in The New Essential Chronology, the Book of Sith, and The Written Word Hyperspace articles. They essentially existed to attempt to unravel the Galactic Empire’s information wipe and muddling of history with propaganda. Mammon Hoole then makes mention of an adventurer and Black Market dealer who managed to obtain and leak the Historical Council’s heated debate over Arhul’s texts, as he was present for it; a leaked transcript that will be included in the following text. The adventurer is a character named Myk Bidlor, a character that first appeared in The Han Solo Trilogy: Rebel Dawn by AC Crispin. The character from Rebel Dawn is a tuckerization of Mike Beidler a writer and editor who has worked on several Star Wars EU works, such as Empire’s End or Lightsider. Mammon Hoole’s introduction goes on to note that Arhul’s written accounts tracking his adventure through the stars, visions of the origin of the galaxy, and the transcript of the two days of The Historical Society’s debate over the writings accuracy, have been meticulously compiled and organized by a plethora of doctors. The doctors are named Rygel Lawlins, Wes Adod, Trace Piskem, Royce Crater, Aryn Hort Thorn, Raphe Nahys, Obern Wentham, Grigem Etchill, and Watkins Milt. All of these Doctors are tuckerizations of the real world editors of Supernatural Encounters, I think its cool to learn that a team of characters in-universe, named for the real world editors and assistants; worked with Mammon Hoole to assemble the in-universe book. It is pretty easy to unscramble the names, Watt Milkins is a tuckerization of Matt Wilkins, Rygel Lawlins is Kyle Rawlings, Wes Adod is Edward Dodds, Trace Piskem is Patrick Maes, Royce Crater is Corey Carter, Aryn Hort Thorn is Harry Thornton, and Grigem Etchill is Greg Mitchell. I am still not sure who Raphe Nahys or Obern Wentham are though. Another extremely interesting piece of info gleamed from the introduction by Mammon Hoole, is that the illustrations within Supernatural Encounters are in-universe art pieces based on sketches that Arhul himself stored within Master Mnemom (A new character, who will later be revealed as a companion supercomputer to Mistress Mnemos). The sketches Arhul made were turned into full color epics by characters named Dirc Ch’los and Claudius Gemulo, who are apparently famous artists in the galaxy. The characters are tuckerizations of the real world illustrators Chris Cold and Guillaume Ducos. We also get an important piece of information, Arhul wrotee down additional scribbled notes in the margins of the pages of his writings. These are called “Hexnotes”, by Q9; and will be important for later on. Hexnotes essentially give additional historical information and context to the narrative of the story, essentially editor’s notes by Arhul on his own book. With that Mammon Hoole signs off from his narrative portion of the story, though don’t fear Galaxy of Fear fans, we will see him again in the pages to come. However, that wraps up every easter egg and lore reference I found of note in the 3 page Introduction of Supernatural Encounters. Thank you everyone for watching, and let me know if I missed anything! I hope you will all join me next time when we jump into the next part: Prologue: The Life and Death of a Historian.

By Lance Leibrock Gray Jedi are possibly one of the most polarizing concepts in the Star Wars mythos. Some people love them, and some hate them. But there are bigger questions that I think need answering: are they even canon? Were they even an official concept? Well, they’re not canon currently, at least since the Disney reboot, but we aren’t concerned with that. Are they canon to the EU? I think this answer is quite complicated and deserves a proper rundown. The first use of the term “Gray Jedi” occurred in Star Wars Republic: The Stark Hyperspace War as a descriptive term for Qui-Gon Jinn. Now, at that time, the definition was radically different from what it is now. Back then, the term was referring to Qui-Gon in reference to his frequent disagreements with the Jedi Council, not that he dabbled in both sides of the Force without succumbing to either side, which is the modern understanding of the term. Even if you don’t think this definition of the term suits Qui-Gon perfectly (I’ve heard some good arguments for this), it’s really a term that’s almost a pejorative term in-universe used by Jedi. Jedi Master Tyvokka accused Qui-Gon of being Gray and his concerns over it. Just because an in-universe character makes a claim about another doesn’t necessarily make it true. However, I don’t see anything narratively wrong with Gray Jedi in this respect, and whether you believe Qui-Gon was a Gray Jedi (according to this definition) or not, it’s undeniable the term and concept is canon to the EU, and it doesn’t present anything contrary to the established lore. The more common understanding of the term comes from Knights of the Old Republic, an RPG video game released in 2003. Jolee Bindo, who was one of the companions to the player character, is a self-described Gray Jedi who dabbled in both sides of the Force without falling to either side. Star Wars: Legacy and the Jedi Academy Training Manual also both include excerpts about Gray Jedi, and they use the exact same definition Jolee gives in KOTOR. The latter source also states that a “true” Gray Jedi is one who does not belong to any Force tradition and operates independently, using both the light and dark sides of the Force. Since then, though, the Lucasfilm Story Group have gone to claim that this concept of Gray Jedi is contrary to George Lucas’ view of the Force, which is if you continue using the dark side long enough, you will be corrupted by it. Matt Martin, a member of the Lucasfilm Story Group, has gone on to say the following: "That sort of goes against what Star Wars is all about. The dark side corrupts." Now, I don’t disagree with Matt here, but I do disagree with the idea that it’s “just a fan thing,” which is where I want to get at with this article. If you look at the rest of the Twitter thread Matt was having with a fan, he claims that it’s a fan thing and isn’t official. Rather you like the concept of Gray Jedi is one thing, but it’s undeniable that it was once a part of the official continuity of Star Wars, via Expanded Universe material. As shown earlier, there are numerous sources that refer to Gray Jedi, with all three of the following definitions: 1. Jedi who operates independently of the Council and/or frequently disobey the Council. 2. Jedi who dabbles in both sides of the Force without succumbing to either side. 3. Force-users who act independently from all Force-based traditions and dabble in both sides of the Force. Now, in my personal view, the latter two definitions were never truly shown in the EU because they can’t really exist, just as Matt Martin says. Let me explain. The Imperial Knights in Legacy are the epitome of not being Gray Jedi, despite the Jedi Order thinking they are (this is a common theme as we will see). The Knights were light side users who had a strict allegiance to defending the Emperor using the light side. Many of them were even former Jedi. If you read the Legacy comics, there’s really no examples of Imperial Knights dabbling in both sides of the Force. They’re clearly light side users, and the Jedi accusing them of being Gray is probably because the Imperial Knights do not follow the Jedi’s strict dogmatic view of the Force, much like Tyvokka in Republic. The Jedi also claim that the Jensaarai were Gray Jedi, though this isn’t particularly true either. The Jensaarai, who were created by a former Jedi, did blend the teachings of the Jedi and Sith, though they did stay true to the light side of the Force. Blending Jedi and Sith teachings does not make one Gray; these are religious institutions, not sides of the Force. Even then, one can find wisdom in Sith teachings, and, if combined with the teachings of the Jedi, you can still stay true to the light, and that’s exactly what the Jensaarai did. As shown earlier, the Jedi are constantly accusing others of being Gray Jedi just because they don’t follow their exact philosophy of the Force; that doesn’t make it true. Lastly, Jolee Bindo, the character who started this controversy, really isn’t a proper Gray Jedi either. He’s clearly an old hermit who has been living in the Shadowlands for too long; he uses nearly exclusive light side powers, even threatening to betray the main character of KOTOR if they turn to the dark side, yet they won’t betray them if they stay with the Jedi. He clearly identifies with the light side; perhaps his years fighting Exar Kun’s Sith and seeing the strange wilderness of the Kashyyyk Shadowlands traumatized him, but there’s no way he’s a true Gray Jedi, at least with what Jolee himself describes. In conclusion, while Gray Jedi may not be exactly as George Lucas envisioned, what is certain is it is not a mere idea from fan fiction. Truly, it was a part of the official Star Wars canon at one point, and it is an official concept, despite there not being any true examples of it. Regardless, I hope this article can rid any confusion some may be having about Gray Jedi. Yes, they were an official concept. Long live the Expanded Universe!

Argovia System (S-14) ·        Sun/Star: unnamed ·        Orbits: o   Argovia A temperate world of mountain ranges, forests, and wetlands shrouded in mist and rainstorms, Argovia was a remote planet rich in natural resources. During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire established a complex on the planet to excavate the minerals and ores, as well as be a regional observation base for their vast galactic network of sensor arrays. Imperial forces attempted to restrict movement in the sector, however, their blockade was broken, and the command center destroyed by Rebel forces, leading to hyperlane routes reopening shortly thereafter. Following the collapse of the Empire, it is unclear if Argovia declared neutrality, or joined the New Republic or other galactic governments.

Bria Tharen grew up in the southern parts of the planet Corelliain a wealthy family.  At a very early age, Bria’s parent arranged for her to marry Dael Levare. However, Bria broke off the engagement as she wanted to study ancient art and archeology at the University of Coruscant. When she was seventeen, she attended a religious revival and experienced the “Exultation.”  It was a harmonic stimulation of the brain's pleasure center performed by t’landa Til “priests.”  Like many before her, Bria misunderstood the sensation for a higher truth.  She sold her jewelry to board passage on a pilgrim ship but became a slave to the Hutt's spice factories when she landed on Ylseia.  She was stripped of her name and called Pilgrim 921.  Bria clung to her illusions about the Ylseia regime until a spice pilot showed her the truth about the Hutt named Han Solo.  She escaped the planet with Solo’s help, and they eventually became lovers.  After they made it to Coruscant, Bria left Han.  She was experiencing a lingering Exultation withdrawal and needed help to beat the addiction. She would join Garm Bel Iblis’s Corellian resistance movement and quickly move up the ranks. She would see Han Solo occasionally but would not approach him for fear of them rekindling their relationship. Bria would start her rebel attack force, the Red Hand squadron, which she would lead from the bridge of the corvette “Retribution.”  Her Rebel superiors were often shocked at the Red Hand squadron’s brutality toward slavers. After the official formation of the Rebel Alliance, Bria set forward a plan that would wipe out the Ylseian factories and simultaneously enrich the struggling Rebels.  She forged a deal with Jabba the Hutt that enabled Rebel soldiers to join with Nar Shadaa smugglers in a successful raid on Ylseia.  Han Solo would join with Bria, and the two would fight together once again.  Their relationship seemed also to be rekindling again.  This would struggle when Bria double-crossed the smugglers, taking all the spice to aid the Rebel Alliance in capturing the Death Star plans. Bria’s Red Hand Squadron received the Death Star schematics on the ground at Toprawa and sent them quickly to Princess Leia Organa on the Tantive IV.  Bria, knowing she would be tortured if captured, decided to swallow poison and ended up dying a martyr.  Her sacrifice would not be in vain, as Rebels could mount an attack on the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin.  And, due to Solo's aide, Luke Skywalker delivered the destructive blow that obliterated the space station.

Warfare returned to the world when it was conquered by Sith forces during the Great Sith War in 3,996 BBY. Decades later, during the Jedi Civil War, Republic forces were successful in protecting Lannik from Sith assaults, likewise remaining a stalwart Republic ally during the Clone Wars millennia later, despite anti-Republic terrorist activity on the planet come the waning decades of the government. Lannik remained neutral for the first couple decades of the Galactic Civil War, joining the New Republic as a stronghold world around 7 ABY.

These geographical developments were large enough to build large cities and ports on the fervent tops. Located in a remote part of the sector, Makeb was not discovered until the onset of the Mandalorian Wars in 3,976 BBY. The planet was originally settled by marooned Republic refugees fleeing the war. Makeb entered the galactic community less than a century later, having built a successful civilization that remained independent for centuries. In 3,638 BBY, during the Galactic War, the Hutt Cartel invaded the planet to lay stake in its mineral deposits. Unbeknownst to other galactic governments, the Sith Empire had secretly been experimenting on the planet’s core, causing devastating geological phenomenon that rendered the planet inhospitable.

By Lance Leibrock Part Two of this series focuses on the Imperial Remnant, which was the reorganized true Empire under the leadership of Admiral Daala and Vice Admiral Pellaeon (later Grand Admiral). During this period, which lasted from 12 ABY to 44 ABY when it was reorganized again as the Fel Empire, the Empire became fairly isolationist. Pellaeon would annex weaker Imperial splinter groups and would declare Bastion as the new capital of the Remnant, which was once part of Pentastar Alignment-controlled space. The Remnant would have a peaceful yet uneasy relationship with the New Republic, and this period of Imperial history would only be the infancy of a future golden age for the true Galactic Empire. 2. The United Warlords Fleet (12 ABY) • This short-lived fleet was the name of the faction of Daala and Pellaeon’s united fleet after the destruction of the various warlords at Tsoss Beacon. Daala and Pellaeon attempted to attack Yavin IV, but they failed. Daala, depressed after another loss, promoted Pellaeon to admiral and relinquished command of him. Under Pellaeon’s leadership, the United Warlords Fleet abandoned the Deep Core and made alliances with various Mid Rim worlds. Pellaeon would conquer Orinda and reestablish the UWF as the Imperial Remnant, where he would reestablish the capital of the Remnant on Bastion in the Outer Rim. This fleet would form the prominent military of the Imperial Remnant during its early years. 3. The Imperial Remnant (12 ABY- reorganized in between 44 and 127 ABY as the Fel Empire) • Early years: In the early years of the Imperial Remnant, Pellaeon made several moves that had numerous benefits. First, he pulled fleets from the Deep Core into the Mid Rim and Outer Rim. He established a Council of Moffs, and then successfully expanded Imperial borders through the Orinda campaign. They annexed the Pentastar Alignment, an Imperial faction created by Ardus Kaine, after Kaine was killed by the New Republic. This annexation allowed Pellaeon to establish the Imperial capital on the world of Bastion in the Outer Rim. Pellaeon would then continue fighting the New Republic. • Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty (19 ABY): As the war carried on, the Remnant would be reduced to only eight sectors. After this realization, Pellaeon decided to make peace with the New Republic. Aboard the Chimaera, Pellaeon’s flagship (and Thrawn before him), the Grand Admiral met with Ponc Gavrisom, the acting Chief of State of the New Republic, and the treaty was signed, thus bringing an end to the Galactic Civil War. • The Yuuzhan Vong War (28 ABY): For the majority of the Vong War, the Imperial Remnant stayed out of the war. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Bastion, the Remnant had no choice but to join in the war. They joined the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the successor state of the New Republic, along with the Smuggler’s Alliance and the New Jedi Order. The Remnant’s assistance towards the end of the war allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to finally be destroyed. Shortly after their defeat, Pellaeon retired. • The Second Galactic Civil War (41 ABY): Pellaeon would return to Imperial service as war erupted between the Confederation and Darth Caedus’ controlled Galactic Alliance. Pellaeon refused to join Caedus, which led to his subsequent assassination, and Drikl Lecersen became the de facto leader of the Remnant. He would attempt to create a nano virus that would wipe out those of Hapan ancestry, but he failed, and the GA punished the Remnant with an ultimatum: face war crimes or install Jagged Fel as Head of State. • The Empire Strikes Back (44 ABY): After the war, the Imperial Remnant would reorganize itself back into the Galactic Empire, and Jagged Fel would ascend as Emperor. Under his leadership and the leadership of his descendants, the Fel Empire would grow to be just as powerful as the Galactic Alliance and would be a complete and total restoration of the old Galactic Empire.

During the Clone Wars, the Republic attempted to reclaim Chroma Zed from the Hutts, but all endeavors failed. It wasn’t until the Galactic Civil War when the original borders were approved, and the planet became an Imperial world. Later in the war, the planet shifted to New Republic control, remaining a member through its reorganization into the Galactic Alliance, before coming under jurisdiction of Darth Krayt’s Sith Empire by 127 ABY.

Following the collapse of the Sith Empire, Daalang returned to Republic control until it was occupied by Sith forces again during the New Sith War nearly two millennia later. The Republic was unable to wrestle control away from the Sith, and following the war, the planet came under the domain of nearby Hutt Space. During the Clone Wars, Daalang came under Separatist control, eventually becoming a key Rebel base and New Republic stronghold during the Galactic Civil War. The planet was invaded by Yuuzhan Vong forces during their invasion of the galaxy, the planet’s fate remaining unknown following the war’s end.

Today is April Fool's Day and who better to celebrate than the entire creative team at Lucasfilm. For the past decade they've done everything possible to kill what was once a beloved franchise to many, into something completely unrecognizable today. Folks leave comments on my channel all the time from my early "Defending the EU" videos saying "Matt called it! Star Wars is DEAD!" Thanks. But to be honest, it didn't take a rocket scientist to see the direction the company was going in at the time. However, seeing what it's become today HAS been an entire shock to me. Some of the decisions made at the top make zero sense. Even Southpark nailed it with their episode from last year when they poked fun at Kathleen Kennedy and Disney in general for constantly pandering to an audience which is far removed from their core fans. Is Kennedy doing this on purpose? Oh course not. But she can't seem to find her footing among the fandom, which has largely abandoned her now and moved on to other interest. It's said to see such an ageless franchise come so low in only a decade. Let me be clear, I DON'T want Star Wars to die off in the minds of the public, but it's already too late for that. The younger generation cares less and less about the product. Most of the kids at my nephew's highschool can't even remember they last Star Wars movie they saw. And though they know some of the names of recent TV Shows, they've not watched a single one. Lucasfilm is losing their future audience and if they continue to make self destructive decisions it'll only get worse. Here's to hoping the fools at Lucasfilm have nothing to celebrate about today and return the franchise back to it's glory days once again. In the meantime, I'm finally going to watch the sequel trilogy this weekend. Oh wait.....April Fools.

From the very beginning, Star Wars has been a trailblazer for strong and independent women in media, starting of course with our beloved Leia Organa, played magnificently by the late Carrie Fisher, she was a breath of fresh air in a time when women on screen were almost always the damsel in distress, wailing away while the hero came to their aid. Leia was an instant icon and showed that not only could she stand equal to her male counterparts but even lead them, as she is a pivotal leader in the Rebel Alliance and later Chief of State of the New Republic as well as a powerful Jedi Knight. The EU continues this trend of powerful women when we are introduced to some of the greatest written female characters in pop culture, most notably, the legendary Mara Jade. Mara was a groundbreaking character for the EU and is one of the most popular Star Wars characters ever and for good reason, she is fierce, fiery and stubbornly independent as well as incredibly powerful. Jaina Solo is another fantastic woman in the EU, she is a personal role model for me and has an amazing and complex story. Jaina is powerful, independent and just an all around badass. These aren’t the only phenomenal women in the EU and this article would be 100 pages or more if I talked about them all but we have so many great women in the EU with amazing stories like Bastila Shan, Jan Ors, Juno Eclipse, Tahiri Veila, Tenel Ka, Mirax Horn, Mirta Gev and so many more! This is one of the greatest things about Star Wars, it was ahead of its time and I am forever thankful to George Lucas and the amazing authors of the EU who created and shaped these amazing characters. The Expanded Universe is for everyone and it is so awesome to have amazing female characters that we get so emotionally invested in and just adore. Happy International Women’s Day and May the Force be with you!
