Yuuzhan Vong vs. Jedi Knight illustrated by animator Martin Felice

In Disney canon: treated Imperial defectors like criminals who were quarantined together and subjected to brainwashing if they got into trouble, disregarded the threat of Thrawn’s return, disarmed and disregarded the threat of the First Order until they were destroyed by Starkiller Base.

The New Jedi Order: Star By Star This is a drawing to celebrate this amazing, hard and sad novel which is Star By Star.

this is the most ambitious drawing for me. I used a lot of medias: graphite pencils, alcohol markers, colored pencils, acrylic and Procreate. "Why do we have to die. For us to see the light?" Starvation, Aurora

Palpy Had A Bad Day Some Time Ago

“...I see,” the Chancellor said, with a nod. “You’re certain?”

“Fairly sure,” Mara Skywalker replied. “They declared that… there would be no peace with us while we continued to make use of our foul technology, and that we were all infidels as we did not believe in their gods.”

She rolled her arm, wincing. “I lost a few of my men and women getting out of that.”

The Chancellor frowned.

“I understand your loss, Mara,” she said. “Are you injured?”

“Not seriously,” Mara replied. “Do you have further need of me? I haven’t seen my husband or our son in weeks.”

“I’m… afraid we’ll need you for a bit longer, Mara,” Grand Master Windu said. “You’re the one with the most experience with these aliens. The future has been clouded recently… any insight you can give is valuable, even if they are strangely invisible to the Force.”

“All right,” Mara conceded, leaning back, and frowned.

While Mara thought, Chancellor Mothma turned her attention to the others present in the meeting.

“Admiral Pellaeon?” she said. “The status of the Fleet?”

“Could be better,” Pellaeon said, unflinchingly. “The active squadrons are ready, but it’s going to take a few months to activate the Reserve. That’s partly training time for the new recruits we’d need. It would go faster if we called up all the Clone pensioners, though.”

“We are certainly going to call up the pensioners,” Mothma answered. “Unless, that is, the Senate is entirely worse than it has been throughout my entire tenure… the Hutt Wars were less clear-cut than this, by far.”

She glanced up at Mara. “Speaking of which, Mara – do you have any information about their ships?”

“Their ships…” Mara repeated, closing her eyes and focusing.

Everyone present knew what she was doing. It was an old Jedi trick, paying more attention to her own memory, focusing on it as precisely as she could and allowing her to gain information she hadn’t noticed at the time.

“Their fighters are odd,” she said. “No shields, but our shots didn’t connect when they should have done – the laser blasts arced.”

“You were firing?” Fey’lya asked.

“They shot first, if you’re wondering,” Mara replied, dryly. “Firing high temperature objects, stronger than our own fighter guns, and the shields had trouble with the projectiles but I was able to shoot them down as they came in. There was… I think there’s some kind of gravity effect involved, but I don’t have enough information to be sure. But the reports are true – all their technology that we saw is organic.”

“Organic spacecraft?” Pellaeon said.

“Coral, I think,” Mara replied. “Thinking about it now, it looks right, and there was far too much variance within the same squadron for it to be a ship class manufactured in ways we’re used to. As for their larger vessels…”

She went silent again, thinking. “They had several different sizes of ships, and some of them were as much as ten kilometres in diameter – roughly disc shaped. I didn’t get more information than that.”

“Then we’re dealing with a sizeable fleet threat,” Pellaeon said. “Chancellor, this is going to mean more than just a mobilization of the Reserve.”

“I understand,” Mothma agreed, heavily. “And if they have come to invade, they are going to be trying to invade our worlds as well.”

She looked up at the final member of the cabinet. “Marshal?”

Marshal Harek – CC-11380 – nodded to her in reply.

“You’re asking about mobilization, I take it?” he asked, continuing as soon as Mothma had confirmed it. “The recall of pensioned clones is technically a volunteer matter, but all indications I’ve ever seen are that we’ll get back functionally all of them. With ten years of reserve status after a five year career, that means we’re looking at… call it seventeen million, after allowing for losses during service over the last fifteen years.

“Not exactly enough to fight an intergalactic war,” Pellaeon said. “If that is what’s going on.”

“You don’t need to tell me that,” Harek replied. “It’s what we’ve got among the regular army, though. Chancellor, it is my professional opinion that some kind of nat-born mobilization is needed… if these aliens are targeting the Jedi, then a lot of our manpower is going to be needed keeping them safe.”

“I agree with you,” Mothma agreed. “I do not want to enact conscription. Indeed, I would like to be able to offer all currently serving clones the option of terminating their contracts early. The system is set up with the understanding that clones serve five years in something close to peace.”

“Chancellor… my brothers would see it as an insult,” Harek replied, quietly. “As a formal announcement, anyway. I’ll see about making it quietly known, and there might be a few hundred who take it up, but I wouldn’t expect more than that.”

Mothma nodded, and was silent for a long moment.

“Master Windu?” she asked.

“The Jedi will protect the Republic,” the old Jedi replied. “That has always been the deal.”

“I know,” Mothma said, quietly. “But I remember a time you were nearly destroyed by it.”

“If the loss of the Jedi leads to the survival of the Republic, it’s worth it,” Mara declared. “I certainly hope it wouldn’t, but… how could we place so few sapients over so many worlds?”

Mothma met Mara’s gaze, then closed her eyes in understanding.

“Very well, then,” she said. “Minister Fey’lya? Do you see any issues that would result with a prompt shift to a war footing?”

The bothan frowned, ears twitching as he thought.

“Have we considered the old droid armies?” he asked.

“You’re not suggesting we fight alongside a droid army, are you?” Harek said.

“He has a point,” Mara volunteered. “If you didn’t see it… you don’t realize how much these aliens hate droids.”

Harek made to reply, then stopped himself.

“...I guess,” he conceded, reluctantly. “It just doesn’t feel right, clones fighting alongside droids.”

He glanced at Fey’lya. “And I know you’re planning on using this to get gratitude from the great merchant houses.”

“We need as many troops as possible, as quickly as possible,” Fey’lya said. “We are all part of the Republic… it has been long enough that the high leadership of the great merchant houses was not even born during the Separatist Crisis.”

“And you didn’t deny it,” Harek said, then sighed. “Well, Master Windu – Chancellor – it’s up to you. I’m just a simple soldier.”

“Hardly that, Marshal,” Windu replied, quietly. “I understand your reluctance. In truth, I feel it myself… but this is a war to defend the Republic. If there are measures we will be forced into by war, then if a droid army is the worst I will count myself a happy man.”

“All right,” Mothma decided. “I believe I have a sense of what we will be doing… Borsk, if you could draft a declaration of war and the mobilization acts? Gilad, Marshal, any groundwork you need before the official mobilization – please, begin as soon as possible.”

She sighed. “Master Jedi…”

“I’ll have members of the Jedi Council discuss things with the shipbuilding houses,” Windu said. “While there are limits, Chancellor… we are at your service.”

“Thank you,” Mon Mothma nodded. “And Mara… you should go and see your husband and son. It’s the least I can offer you.”

Cover art by Tsuyoshi Nagano. “Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology,” Japanese edition. February, 2006.

The Japanese edition of “Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology” depicted a saga-spanning collection by artist Tsuyoshi Nagano. In the Christmas 2015 issue of ImagineFX magazine, Nagano had these memories, “I like Mara Jade a lot, so my drawings of her tend to be full body. Her costume was created using the comics as a reference. Grand Admiral Thrawn’s skin and Mara Jade’s lightsaber match, while Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda’s lightsabers are the same green, to keep the painting engaging.”

The New Jedi Order is awesome and one of my favorite parts of the Expanded Universe, no I will not be taking questions at this time

[randomwritingguy]

For me, Star Wars ended with The Unifying Force. However, if I had to continue the story I would have had it make more sense than what we got. 

I would have had it take place a few decades in the future, so 59-60 ABY. I am not going to go over every single detail but I would focus on the new generation, mainly Ben, Jaina, and Jacen. Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia are retired or passed away at this point in time. 

Ben Skywalker would be the Grand Master of the New Jedi Order. He is still relatively new in the position and while his parents have prepared him for the responsibility, he still feels unsure of himself. He tries to act like Grand Master Luke Skywalker but realises as the story goes on that he has to be Grand Master Ben Skywalker, to be himself and lead in a way he thinks is best for the Jedi and the galaxy.

Jaina Solo Fel would be a Jedi Master and a High Council member. She is a loyal supporter of her cousin but she has doubts and mixed feelings about reintegrating the Yuuzhan Vong back into the galaxy. While she understands that the species has changed their ways, the pain they caused her, her family and friends and the rest of the galaxy still lingers in her heart, especially the death of her brother, Anakin Solo. Her marriage with Jagged Fel, while happy, will be tested as the Chiss still see the Yuuzhan Vong as a dangerous threat and do not trust them.

Jacen Solo would be a Jedi Master but he would be living on Zonama Sekot. He would still keep in frequent touch with his family and friends and would help the Jedi when needed but he would spend a lot of time helping the now reformed Yuuzhan Vong with Danni Quee whom he now has a relationship with. At this point he has already explored most if not all of the Force religions out there in the galaxy but still spends time learning more about the Force. He would basically be the New Jedi Order’s Qui-Gon Jinn.

Now, this is where I bring in ideas from Fate of the Jedi. I overall think it's a decent series but it does have glaring issues. However, I really liked Abeloth and the Mortis connections. So I would implement this. I would have it be revealed that the devastation during the Yuuzhan Vong War and the anguish it caused strengthened Abeloth.  While I do find the Lost Tribe of the Sith interesting, I am not a fan of the Sith being around after Return of the Jedi. Instead, I would change them to be a group that worships Abeloth known as the Cult of Chaos. That way the story would still have dark siders that the Jedi can fight. 

This leads to another main plotline in my story. There would be rising tensions between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance because the former wishes to reintegrate the reformed Yuuzhan Vong back into the galaxy and give them a chance to redeem themselves and help the worlds they ruined. However, the Galactic Alliance and other governments are understandably reluctant to do this and that’s where the tension originates from. The Cult of Chaos helps release Abeloth by strengthening her through the anguish they cause through terrorist actions in which they frame the Yuuzhan Vong for. These acts finally allow Abeloth to be free.

Vestara Khai would be a member of the Cult of Chaos and initially be a loyal and dedicated member. However, when she finally meets the goddess her cult worships and sees her for the monster she is, she starts to have doubts and this conflict is amplified when she meets Grand Master Ben Skywalker. Eventually, the two fall in love and Vestara defects from the cult and becomes a Jedi.

In the end, I would have the Galactic Alliance, the Jedi Order, and the Yuuzhan Vong unite in order to stop Abeloth and the Cult of Chaos. By the end of the story there is still some tension between the Yuuzhan Vong and the rest of the galaxy but there are just enough people who are willing to give them a chance and help the Jedi reintegrate the reformed species back into the galaxy.

So, what do you all think of this? Do you like it? Does the premise sound better and feel more sense than what we got or does all of it suck? Thoughts would be appreciated.

A Brief History of the Mandalorians by Leland Y. Chee (Star Wars Insider 115)

[solitaire-06]

As part of my Anakin Lives! AU, I imagine Tahiri’s original lightsaber being destroyed during the Mission to Myrkr, so she uses Anakin’s lightsaber while on the Mission to Coruscant where she meets the Freed Ones and reconciles her two personalities. However, during the timespan of the operation leading into the Battle of Ebaq 9 (or Mon Gazza, in my version), she ends up creating a new lightsaber with a hilt made from Tatooine’s raw ore and engraved with Tusken carvings, but with a white-good lambent crystal like Anakin’s lightsaber (he helps her to learn Vongsense) that matches the colour of Tatooine’s suns and a function that allows it to transform into a lightwhip or a lightsaber pike, mirroring the natures of a amphistaff and gadaffi stick respectively. In this way, Tahiri shows how she’s embraced all three aspects of her nature - human, Tusken and Yuuzhan Vong - and harmoniously unified them into her Jedi identity.
