We all know now that starkiller base is an icy planet in the unknown regions of the galaxy, but the location of the planet turned into weapon is also the location of the planet ilum.
Ilum is special because it was rich in lightsaber crystals, and had many jedi temples built on top of it.
The planet could only be reached by force sensitives, as it was left off of star maps to ensure the planets protection
So this means one thing:
Sometime after endor, the knights of ren or Snoke traveled to ilum and built the super weapon on top
Since the planet was covered in Crystal caves the planets weapon in TFA could be powered by the planet itself?
This seems plausible. Lightsaber crystals are essentially khyber crystals are they not?
Ilum visible in the darker regions
Something to note, Rakata prime is in the map in the op which makes it Canon, and it makes me all tingly inside
>>63106956
Ilum only has Adegan along with kathracite, mephite, and pontite crystals

How do you know that what canderous was talking about was the vong
>>63107182
> Kind of like the Amazon Jungle in Brazil.
Except it's not.
There are actual physical barriers to exploration of the Amazon Jungle that don't exist in N.America for example but traveling to one planet is no different or more difficult then traveling to another.
It makes no sense for humans to have expended the effort to colonized a shit-hole planet like Tatooine, when there are bazillions of likely paradise planets much closer and easier to colonize.
>>63107673
Canderous describes something very specific. What he describes is finding a "methane-covered asteroid" drifting in space. He used a thermal generator to melt off the methane, causing the asteroid to "wake up", prompting it to spin rapidly, shoot plasma that melted Mandalorian iron "like it was wax", and then shoot away faster than it Ordo could chase it past the edge of the GFFA. They didn't just track its course, they actually followed it until it hit the edge and lost it.
its the vong
>>63107095
A galaxy is enormous, considering an average size Galaxy consisting of 400 billion stars, even after 25000 years it's still quite plausible that only a portion of those stars would have been visited.
>>63107036
Onderon and Mandalore were canonized in TCW. They show no connection to Revan. Let the memory of him go.
Vong were ALMOST canonized, but Disney happened before a Vong scout ship X-Files TCW episode happened.

I am never ever NOT going to be assravaged at Korriban's name change. It's such a small thing, and kind of insignificant, but for some reason it fills me with rage.

>dantooine
Wacca T'Bacca was a Wookie Jedi Knight who was known for his love of D'weed, a herb native to Dantooine, smuggled to Mos Eisley in bulk quantities and processed into a variety of spices and liquid quintessences. T'Bacca used a special vaporizing device in the hilt of his pipe-shaped lightsaber to inhale D'weed smoke, and proudly wore D'weed containers on his bandolier, often surprising would-be attackers by pretending to fall into a trance-like state with the pipe end in his mouth, so that they would get closer only for them to be impaled on his lightsaber, which he skillfully activated with his tongue.
T'Bacca died in 124 ABY, after a tragic accident in which he absentmindedly turned his lightsaber pipe the wrong way. Some say that he only noticed he was dead 6 days after it happened, his force ghost lingering around his body, rhythmically swinging to a faint sound of a Dantooine tribal drum beat.
>>63107002
You just proved that I'm a filthy casual.
>>63108410
Revan is one of the only major EU characters they could fully integrate into the new canon simply because the movies and canon shows just haven't spent a lot of time on the deep past of the Star Wars universe. At this point there's no reason the events of KOTOR couldn't have happened.
In fact, the Clone Wars show basically establishes that the Mandalorian Wars are canon. Revan's a short step from that.
>>63108478
fantastic
>>63107070
that's the actual plan. I mean for fuck's sake Aphra is a beat-for-beat ripoff of Mara, only difference is that she serves Vader, not the Emperor.
Rey is obviously Jaina, but is instead Luke's daughter.
Kylo is fucking Jacen with a Revan Mask.
good God, you were gullible enough to believe that they'd do something original? Remember STID?

What?
>>63108718
They're not in the same system, but since the Falcon can fly from one to the other without a hyperdrive, the systems must be close. This is pure OT.
>>63108478

>>63109346
Snoke
I can't imagine them yelling it out in the movies.
>>63109373
I can just imagine Andy Serkis hissing out, "I am Sssnoke" in that weedy Gollum voice of his, and I can't take it seriously at all.
>>63108937
>>63108874
So is that canon or what?
>>63106929
>Including Rakata on the map
Please don't include them in the new lore. They are nearly as bad as the fucking invading space insects.
>>63109422

OH GOD. They ARE going to do that aren't they...

It is gonna be fucking GI Joe Cobra Commander.
>>63109480
The Rakatans and the Infinite Empire are back, in SOME form. There's no way they aren't. Rakata Prime is an extremely random-ass EU planet to just throw in for no reason. It's there because it's got some significance.

I swear to fucking God, if he looks like a snake and he HISSES, I'm getting up and leaving the theater.
>>63106929
In all honesty you could do the Vong well. I know the NJO is pretty despised but there was some real great stuff in some of those books and the Vong were a pretty compelling and freaky antagonist.
>>63109590
How would you get around the cinema lockdown? Only venue staff and official cinema shooters can enter and egress while the film is on.
>>63109590
There's no way they'd do that. They wouldn't. They can't. That would be prequels-tier bad.
>>63106929
Um, Mustafar isn't on there? I guess this pic is canon now.
>>63110914

>>63110914

>>63106929
So how the hell can you set out for Coruscant from Naboo and end up on Tatooine? It's a good job they broke down or they would have just kept going forever.
>>63110914
Nor Kamino
>>63108077
Not when you can cross it end to end in a few hours it isn't retard, or when it's full of trillions of sentient species that can all communicate with each other who can all go anywhere they want whenever they want. It's literally less plausible than midichlorians.
>>63106961
Where's Kamino and why are there so many ooines?
I vaguely remember it being close to Mon Calamari from Empire at War.
Where's Kessel, is the Maw canon?
>>63111285
>I vaguely remember it being close to Mon Calamari from Empire at War.
Empire at War didn't have a very accurate map. A lot of the (wonderful) mods that followed though did.
>>63111273
>cross it end to end in a few hours
I suspected this was still fucked up in the new canon but not sure at what point.
Examples?
>>63107036
The vong are so fucking retarded im glad they are no longer canon
>>63106929
wait a minute, I thought in episode 2 padme said tatooine and geonosis were on opposite ends of the galaxy, and that's why the should'nt go after oni-wan?
>>63111627
I think she told him no because council said no.
The biggest inconsistency is stopping at Tatooine from Naboo to Coruscant. It's like stopping at New Orleans on a trip from Vegas to Chicago.

Given JJ's love of Revan, I'm guessing that is what it is.

>Ilum is special because it was rich in lightsaber crystals, and had many jedi temples built on top of it.

This is all EU crap and it's no longer valid.
>>63113772
They wouldn't do that. Rakata look too goofy for one to be the BBEG of the trilogy.
>>63109373
Snoke? SNOKE? SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE
>>63111285
Kamjno should be somewhere near Geonosis and Tatooine.
Dooku probably just erased it from the map.
Shit all this planets are so close. Bespin, Hoth, Mustafar, Utapau and Dagobah are like neighbors. Endor is down the street.
Geonosis and Tattoine seem to be fucking.
That OP mask seems to be rather weirdly selective. what the fuck is Kuat and where is Mustafar? You'd think they'd put one of the planets that were actually in the movies.

That was severely retarded. You didn't give an example and you don't know shit about hyperspace route charting.
>>63114002
It's possible they just retcon the appearance. Rakatas might look like giant sneks now instead of reverse jarjars.
>>63114642
Not JJ. It already existed in the EU.
>>63107036
>>63111422
only memers and prequel trilogy lovers don't like Vong.
>>63108511
I've read somewhere that Disney is open to the idea to canonize Bioware games. Bioware is even willing to lend them writers if Disney decides to go for it.
>>63111191
Their hyperdrive didn't work and Tatooine was the closest planet nearby that didn't have Trade Federation presence on it. If they landed on Malastare or Sullust they'd be detected.
>>63114546
>Dooku probably just erased it from the map.
That's probably the joke. That Rishi thing Obi-Wan mentions saying that Kamino should be near it is there.

I've never really thought about it, but do most people in the galaxy live on Coruscant? Other than a handful of well colonized planets most of Star Wars seems to be third world shitholes.
>>63115966
Coruscant had a population of 2 trillion, whole there are hundreds of quadrillions in the galaxy
>>63116146
1 trillion*
>>63116146
Then where the fuck are these quadrilions? All the planets except Coruscant seem to have low populations.
>>63116608
M8 tons of planets have billions of people
Don't forget there are more than a million hospitable planets in the galaxy
A majority of planets have billions of people
Even naboo has a population of 4.5 billion
>>63107052
>>63107070
but Illum was in the clone wars tv show and has therefore been considered canon for a good while...

it's not.
>>63109422
I hope Snoke is just a dumb name like Sheev that no one uses. Supreme Leader could be the equivalent of the Emperor.
Somehow I doubt it'll go that way.
I also predict that Captain Phasma will barely appear in the film, probably a single key scene.
>>63112025
I think Starkiller base wont be a planet death star but a planet with an engine that can movie around, which is what we can see on the poster.
But that sounds stupid as fuck so I hope not.
>>63118061
How come we don't see any aliens in the first order hmmm?
>>63118075
J.J said that one of the names released for the characters is a "fake name", the same as he did with Star Trek: Into darkness when he wanted to keep Khans identity a secret. My guess is that Snoke is a fake name for the character, meaning it's a character we already know in the Star Wars universe. And I'd say it's probable Snoke is in fact Plagueis.
>>63118109
we have barely seen humans in the first order either, they all wear masks :^)
desu tho "snoke" will probably be as secretive as palpatine was. Palpatine didn't let anyone but Vader and his closest guards know he could use the force. "Snoke" might only let Kylo Ren and his closest guard know he's not a human.
>>63106961
the cardinal directions on that map are retarded. the coreward and rimward directions are all you need
>>63111273
Nah 400 billion is a lot, even if a million ships were sent out to explore, it'd still take that'd still be 400 system to cover for each explorer and owing to the fact that you can't just blindy jump through hyperspace, it'd take considerable time and resources.
>>63118269
4000 systems
>>63111080
How the hell did you get that done so quick?
>>63114546
Kuat is a forge world that makes spaceships for everyone.
>>63118421
he didn't make it ya newfig
>>63111191
There's literally tens of billions of planets between them and it's totally the opposite direction, they'd have been half an hour from Coruscant if they went in the right direction.
>>63114546
Kuat is important because it's more of a "mention by name in books and other supporting material, but visually see what it does in action" type planet. That's where the Empire has it's ISD building shipyards, which is mentioned by name in Twilight Company.
