June Update

PT White

Wow it has been a busy month! The Bad Batch Source Guide is well underway, special thinks to Oliver Queen (aka ShootingWampRats) for his fantastic help keeping the new stats going. So far I have really enjoyed the series and look forward to the second half of the season . We have also been cruising through The Clone Wars Source Guide and we are coming close to the end of the first year of the war from the classic Clone Wars Series. Today we finished Chapter 16 leaving just four…

Star Wars Day Updates

PT White

Hello Everyone! It’s been a busy few weeks around the site. We finished up our look at the Imperial Intelligence and how it breaks down. If people are interested I can do that same with the Rebel Alliance and New Republic though that area is more gray since we have never had a really good look at how the New Republic Government was set up, just small details. Other items of note, we are coming up on Star Wars Day! Lucasfilm usually has a lot of updates to release that…

The Structure of the Empire Part Four: The Military

PT White

The might of the Empire has not arisen overnight, although years of planning and preparation by the Emperor allowed the military to expand at a nearly inconceivable rate. From the time of the Old Republic to the opening years of the New Order was a period of rapid change and expansion for the Imperial forces. With the Empire’s loss at the Battle of Yavin, even more changes have taken place — some not even yet announced to the various branches. The Navy The Navy has grown enormously since the decline…

The Structure of the Empire Part 3: Imperial Intelligence

PT White

Imperial Intelligence is one of the few New Order organizations which has remained largely unchanged since the days of the Old Republic. There were four organizations which gathered and analyzed intelligence for the Senate and other agencies of the Old Republic—the Republican Security Organization, the Senate Bureau of Intelligence, the Interstellar Consortium on Technology, and the euphemistically labeled Special Acquisitions Branch of the Library of the Republic. As the Old Republic began to rot from within, the directors of the four agencies discovered that they were routinely being used by…

The Bad Batch Official Trailer

PT White

The Official Trailer for The Bad Batch has been released and here are a few stray observations I had. The First Episode is 70 minutes in length, hopefully that isn’t 20 minutes of credits. Looking at you D+! The description calls the young clone “Omega”. This implies we might be looking at the last of the clones. Rex is back! I think part of the Omega story will be Rex taking him to live with Cut. We will see. V-Wings!! A real lack of Crosshair in the trailer. I suspect…

The Structure of the Empire – Part 2

PT White

COMPNOR COMPNOR, the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, was formed in Imperial City months after Palpatine assumed power. Initially COMPNOR was little more than a social gathering for idealistic young beings who saw in the New Order a deliverance from the chaos of the dying days of the Old Republic. One of the Emperor’s advisors, one Crueya Vandron, saw the potential worth of a populist movement which could be molded into a useful political tool. Overt encouragement and discrete funding were provided, giving COMPNOR the appearance of…

The Structure of the Empire – Part 1

PT White

The Galactic Empire reigned from 19 BBY to 5 ABY (981 GC – 1005 GC). During that time the Emperor reorganized government to maintain complete control over the galaxy. To do this the Emperor maintains power through a bewildering array of crossed authorities. By using this convoluted structure, Palpatine insures that only he can speak with complete authority, while all of the advisors, military officials and bureaucrats below him must carefully guard their words and justify their actions. Policies of expansion established by the Old Republic were never rescinded, and…

The Mandalorian Source Guide Chapter 11 The Heiress

PT White

The Queen of Chaos Bo-Katan Kryze and her Nite Owls make their way into The Mandalorian Source Guide this week. Chapter 11 was one of the fan favorites this season so as a bonus I have been adding even more Characters, Equipment, and Locations to the guide. Loads of really cool characters showed up so it meant a lot of extra time putting the templates together for everyone out there. We are starting to approach the end of the second season of the Mandalorian with only five weeks of updates…

Mandalorian Ultimate Visual Guide Delayed?

PT White

In a tweet book publisher DK Books announced that the Summer 2021 release date for The Mandalorian Ultimate Visual Guide will no longer be published. That is really bad news for fans who have been itching to get a deeper look into the lore that is occurring after the fall of the Empire. The question a lot of people have is to the why this project was canceled. There are of course the instant pointing to the firing of Cara Dune actress Gina Carano after she continued to post hateful…
