Star Wars: the best in terms of revelations of new comics and books
The new edition of the Star Wars saga in books and comics have sown clues about a series of surprising revelations that change the familiar continuity of Star Wars, beyond the movies.That's right, one of the first Disney movements to obtain the rights to Star Wars was to decanonize everything that had been done beyond the movies, that is, the Expanded Universe which contained the stories of novels, comics and even video games, invoking a clause imposed by George Lucas by which, if an SW Episode VII was made, everything that did not agree with the new continuity could be decanonized.
In this way, stories like those of the Clone Wars comics, the continuity of the MMO The Old Republic, the Trilogy of Thrawn initiated in Heir of the Empire and the two games of The Force Power, stories of genesis as The Dawn of the Jedi, among other titles of worship, became part of the Legends label. Under this all these stories were included, indicating that they were in another time line.
Disney tried to reintroduce in its continuity to worlds like Malachor or characters like Thrawn, at the same time that it configured a new continuity. This led to radical changes in the background of events beyond the movies. It's been more than five years since the event, and since then Disney and Marvel have not stopped. As a result, there have been a lot of surprising revelations about the new timeline.
That is why we collect several of these amazing revelations made in books and comics, trying to cover as much information as possible.
Some theories about the old canon pointed to the fact that the Emperor was actually the biological father of Anakin Skywalker. However, what was suggested, in fact, is that the Force gestated Anakin as a defense mechanism against the manipulations being carried out by Darth Plagueis and Palpantine. But, in a recent comic of vol. 2 of Darth Vader, we are told another version, since it stipulates that Darth Sidious manipulated the midi-chlorians to create Anakin, when he was still in his mother's womb. Yes, we know that it is a very twisted version, but very much like the old style.
The ray power of the Death Star
This version had been defeating the story of the Expanded Universe novels, which suggested that the engineer Bevel Lemelisk was the creator of the station, and with it other terrifying devices such as the Eclipse or the Dark Saber. In the new canon, the space station was a project that began to be built in the last days of the Clone Wars. According to the novel Catalyst, which serves as a prequel to Rogue One, its construction was entrusted to the director Orson Krennic, who in turn manipulated the engineer Galen Erso, who was working on a clean and eternal power source, based on the use of Kyber crystals.
Thirty years later, the First Order "ideological heirs of the Empire", would recreate the ray of the Death Star in home format. Armando the turbolasers turrets of their destroyers with a similar technology, endowing their cruisers and destroyers with a firepower.
The Emperor Sheev Palpatine
The Emperor may be the one who has revealed the most secrets in the new continuity, through both novels and Star Wars comics. In 2014, the novel Tarkin, gave name to the evil Darth Sidious. In this book it was pointed out that the name of the Emperor was Sheev Palpatine. A given name that clashed with the fandom theory that her real name was Cosinga Palpatine Jr, whose name was never officially confirmed. It should be noted that long before the Emperor was a Sith Lord and George Lucas defined it, the primal portrait of the character was that of a pusillanimous politician, who had come to power with the support of the Armed Forces and corrupt provincial governors. In this way the character was going to be called Ford Xerxes XII. A second review called him Alexander Xerxes XII, before staying as Palpatine. In addition, it is known that one of the different names shuffled was the one of Cos Dashit, that quickly also discarded.
The color of the sabers
The kyber crystals were born in caves, so they pointed in antiquity. These users came to the Force, attracted by the "singing" of these crystals. Some of this, was seen in the games of Knights of the Old Republic. It was pointed out that the red crystals of the Sith, in fact, were an artificial perversion, created in stoves. In fact, the old canon discriminated between natural crystals and artificial crystals, being the seconds of worse quality.
However, in the new continuity, the red lightsabers must that color to which their wearer has "bleed" the crystal. The Kyber crystal is, according to the new data, a living and sensitive entity, which connects with the nature of the Force user. In this sense, the Sith and other adepts of the Dark Side build their weapons by killing Jedi, stealing their lightsaber and unloading all their anger and frustration on the kyber crystal. According to the comic book Darth Vader Dark Lord, Sith found himself without a weapon after his duel with Obi-Wan in Mustafar. To replace the fallen sword, Vader had to pursue and kill Master Kirak Infil'a, who stole his sword, corrupting his crystal before building his new lightsaber. This process can be reversed to heal the crystal. Ashoka Tano carried out this method to recover his light swords. That is why its leaves are white during the Star Wars Rebels animated series.
The fate of Ashoka Tano
After the second series of Clone Wars several questions arose, one of them was the fate of Ashoka Tano. While it is true that many stories both comics, and novels based on chapters never produced before the cancellation of the series, and pointed to the fate of the character, Star Wars Rebels decided to take advantage and recover it for continuity. During the series, we discovered that Ashoka Tano was in fact the rebel agent known as Fulcrum, the liaison of different rebel groups, dedicated to the recruitment and coordination of cells. Fulcrum, was one of the first agents of Bail Organa for the founding of the Rebel Alliance.
And according to the novel Ashoka, Fulcrum was in charge of eliminating one of the first inquisitors, but also responsible for recruiting the first rebel functional cell beyond the personnel close to the viceroy of Alderaan. After this event, his role in the anti-system organization would be to recruit new candidates for the movement, being a second-line agent, rather than a Jedi.
Han Solo and his love life
According to one of the first Marvel Star Wars comics of the decade, Han Solo did not make Leia Organa his first wife. since during the first comics of this collection the character of Sana Starros was introduced, which would be introduced in the middle of the procession that the pirate carried out to seduce the princess. Later, it is explained that Han and Sana were not married, strictly speaking, but that everything was part of a blow that Solo tried to carry out, making Starros go through his mistress. After this, Sana confess the truth to Leia, although it would take a while before the princess saw with other eyes the lousy Han.
The terrible story of Lobot
Lobot was remembered for being the faithful assistant of Lando in Bespin during The Empire Strikes Back. In this film, the cyborg assistant acted as a kind of automaton in the service of the Cloud City Administrator Baron. However, according to the new canon, it was not always the case, since in Star Wars Rebels an imperial project was unveiled to convert certain people into living calculators, by a series of implants. This technology had a terrible price, those who underwent the surgery were in danger of becoming machines, dominated by their implants. This is what happened with Lobot, by agreeing to work with Lando Calrissian to steal a yacht full of Sith antiquities. The yacht belonged to Emperor Palpatine himself. Things did not end well and Lobot was mortally wounded. Although he managed to survive, the shock caused him to be at the mercy of the implants, becoming a kind of robot of flesh and blood.
Palpatine's intention to destroy worlds
Darth Sidious prepared a contingency plan in case the rebels prevailed or Darth Vader decided to take initiative and be Emperor instead of the Emperor. Unlike what other stories of the Expanded Universe suggested, in the current timeline, Palpatine did not resort to clones, but to set fire to the Galaxy. In the comic Empire Destroyed revealed for the first time the intention of Palpatine to destroy key worlds if he fell. This plan, proposed the destruction of key worlds such as Vardos, Burnin Konn, Candovant, Abednedo and Commenor and was known as "Operation Ash". In the game Star Wars Battlefront II, this operation was seen from within the imperial ranks, explaining the reasons for the dissidence of its protagonist.
In addition the trilogy of Star Wars Consequences, developed still more the plan and the ins and outs of this, presenting the figure of Gallius Rax, who orchestrated a "change of plans" in the obituary of the Emperor. This character sought to eradicate what remained of rebel and imperial forces, using a device on the planet Jakku, while he and other followers fled to the Unknown Regions. Rax was killed by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, who managed to take Brendol Hux and his son Armitage Hux off the planet, leaving with them to the ends of the Galaxy to form the First Order.
Phasma and his armor
Capitana Phasma's novel revealed to us part of the origin of the sinister official and trainer of the First Order. This character, ended in a forgotten way, consumed in the flames during The Last Jedi. Something anticlimactic, given the campaign he starred with his own comic and novel. In the novel, it was explained that it was rare that the soldiers of the First Order had distinctive armor. One of the few chosen was Cardinal, a crimson armor soldier, responsible for the training of troops during the early years of the paramilitary organization. This character was the second officer to adopt this practice, but his armor was made of a material different from that of the other soldiers. Since his armor was made with the fuselage plates of the Emperor's private yacht. That is why the color of his armor is metallic.
In this way you conclude with some of the most surprising revelations in the new continuity of Star Wars in terms of comics and books.
