“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

- Stormtrooper armour is far more effective than the films let on. The stormtroopers we see get shot and presume killed? In most cases, they’re only knocked senseless; after a couple minutes, they shake it off and get back up.
This happens in Rebels all the time.
Honestly my head canon after TLJ was that Luke didn’t really “die” from Force projecting himself, but confronting his greatest failure (Kylo Ren) and forgiving himself caused Luke to achieve enlightenment, and he just became one with the Force as the next step of his ascension.
No one’s ever really gone.

And that’s sort of how it plays anyway imo

Yoda has a bad habit of abruptly dumping his under-performing apprentices on Jedi Knights he doesn’t like. Qui-gon only learned that he was getting Obi-wan as an apprentice when they were both sent to settle the trade dispute on Naboo. Needless to say, Qui-gon took the first opportunity to make Obi-wan a full Jedi and get him off of his hands.

«No one is guilty of being born a slave. But the slave to whom not only aspirations for freedom are alien, but who justifies and paints his slavery in rosy colors, such a slave is a lackey and a brute who arouses a legitimate sense of indignation, disgust and repugnance.»
— Vladimir Lenin
The Force isn’t passed down through blood relations.
Rather, it is faith alone that allows a person to gain power in the Force. Allowing Luke to assume that Force ability is passed down from his powerful Jedi father is merely a sneaky method that Obi-wan uses to jump-start Luke’s abilities. Notice that there is no obvious sign of Force sensitivity in Luke other than being a good pilot until the events of ANH.
Similarly, when it appears that Luke will be killed in a foolish quest to save his friends, Yoda implies to Obi-wan that they hedge their bets with a new Skywalker, one invented from whole cloth. Yoda tells Luke that there is another Skywalker, and Obi-wan feeds the lie by suggesting that it is a twin sister, and Luke fills in the rest with his own now certain belief. It is Luke’s belief that Leia is related to him, already knowing that she was adopted, which will allow her to gain certainty in Force abilities that were nonexistent until the blood relationship was invented.

From what I understand, the Force is not always passed through the blood. Yes, a person who is strong in the Force is more likely to have children who are strong in the Force, but that’s not a hard and fast rule. It can also happen that a person who is not strong in the Force gives birth to a person who has a large amount of midi-chlorians. This is true in both Canon and Legends.

Sure, Force descendants don’t always happen, but I am saying that they never happen, or at least there is absolutely no causal mechanism (and certainly no Midichlorians to be passed down). For me, the Force is either present mysteriously in a person, perhaps for them to fulfill some feat or destiny, or they have dedicated their lives to cultivating it in themselves and/or have an unshakeable faith in the Force which gives them their power.
It often happens that a person can temporarily gain ability in the Force to do something usually beyond their abilities, and this is where ‘May the Force be with you’ comes from in common parlance. In these cases, the Force doesn’t necessarily persist in that person once their destiny has been fulfilled.

Ignoring the prequels+, I run with the idea that Force-sensitivity is much like immortality in the Highlander franchise; some people are just born different with no obvious rhyme or reason why. Force-sensitivity can be passed on matrilineally (in the case of species where females bear young; different terminology would apply to hermaphroditic/asexual species, obviously), but this is due to the fetus developing in the Force-rich aura of their parent, not genetics.

Darth Vader was the Dark Lord of the Sith. Under him were six Knights of the Sith. Why only six? Palps probably put a cap on how many Sith Vader could train, just to fuck Vader over. His First Knight was Jerec from the Dark Forces books/games. After Vader kicked the bucket, Jerec became the new Dark Lord. What became of the Second-through-Sixth Knights, I can’t say. Maybe they all died/defected/didn’t get along with Jerec. Whatever the case, he was gonna continue the “Rule of Seven” with knights of his own choosing. Then Kyle Katarn kicked all their asses.
This pertains to the pre-1999 SW Universe, BTW.

There exists a prophecy of the Giant Circular Pit Death in Star Wars, and it is this: If a character is cast down a giant circular pit, then they are destined to survive.
See: Darth Maul in TPM, Obi-wan in ROTS, Boba Fett in ROTJ, Palpatine in ROTJ, and Ben in TROS.

The Force has an aspect, somewhat separate from its other aspects, responsible for the existence of life and consciousness. Not necessarily life force or life energy or whatever, but just the spark of being. This is how droids can be sentient living beings even though they don’t otherwise register in the Force. This is how ysalimiri and other creatures that block the Force can do so without harming themselves or life around them. This is how the Jedi Exile survived and continued living while cut off from the Force, and also how they got it back. I haven’t read all the Yuuzhan Vong books but I imagine this would also apply to them.
Since I have embraced the philosophy that “only the PT, Rogue One and the OT are Canon”, now I can take more liberties when it comes to my own head-canons, as I don’t have to take into account nothing but the movies themselves. Therefore, I have decided that I want to change Anakin’s age in Episode I and extend the Clone Wars a little more. Firstly, Anakin was not 9 in Episode I, he was 10. Secondly, the time gap between Episode II and Episode III is not 3 years, but 6 years. So, Anakin is 20 in Episode II and 26 in Episode III, while Padmé is 30 in Episode III, and Obi-Wan is 41.
Also, since I don’t have to take into account nothing but the PT, Rogue One and the OT, now I can fully embrace the idea that the Stormtroopers from the OT are the Clone troopers from the PT, and I can totally incorporate this idea in my head-canon. Therefore, the Empire never started to recruit normal citizens into the Imperial Army, Kamino continued to provide Clones for the Empire until its defeat, and all the Stormtroopers we see in the OT are clones of Jango Fett, just like the Clone troopers from the PT. This is why Leia said: “Aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?” The Stormtroopers are all Clones, so they all have the same height.

The Ewoks in ROTJ were descended from the survivors of a ship that crashed on Endor millenia ago, hence why they speak a “primitive dialect” of an existing language. They’ve been there so long that the story of how they got to Endor has become mythology, rather than history, to them; for example, the ship had a protocol droid onboard which survived but later “died”, who has been glorified as a kind of god.

Now here’s a Star Wars head cannon !!! …http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=50969
This is not a proper head-canon, it’s more of a random idea I have.
A lot of fans of the Knights of the Old Republic games seem to dislike what Bioware did with Star Wars: The Old Republic. They don’t like the way they treated Revan’s character in the novel and the game, they don’t like how many times the Sith Emperor resurrected, as well as a lot of the other plots that were developed in the MMO. However, I recently came up with an idea that can more or less attempt to satisfy the Knights of the Old Republic fans that were disappointed with The Old Republic. And my idea is very simple: taking the first three cinematic trailers of the MMO and building a story around them, without necessarily accepting the Revan novel and the rest of the game.
Think about it…
In Knights of the Old Republic II, it’s revealed that Revan knew about a Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions, and turned to the Dark Side to conquer the Republic, make it stronger and prepare the Galaxy for the Sith invasion. Okay, perfect. Then you have The Old Republic: Return, where the Sith return and invade the Galaxy, indeed, thus confirming what Knights of the Old Republic II told us about the Sith invasion. That cinematic alone makes you understand that the war with the Sith has started. After Return, you have The Old Republic: Hope, which shows the Battle of Alderaan between the Republic and the Sith Empire, and also shows that the Republic wins the battle. That cinematic alone makes you understand that the war with the Sith is raging across the Galaxy. Finally, you have The Old Republic: Deceived, which shows how the Sith Empire invaded Coruscant. Since the Sith Empire successively invaded Coruscant, you can assume that the Empire won the war and conquered the Republic. But, since we know that there is no Sith Empire when Darth Ruin turned to the Dark Side, you can reasonably assume that the Sith Empire fell apart some years ago due to the continuous internal Wars between the Sith, and therefore the Republic was restored (which is more or less what happened in the Original Trilogy).
So, as you can see, using the first three Old Republic cinematic trailers is more than enough to create an entire story without necessarily having to accept the canonicity of the Revan novel and the MMO itself. Besides, you also don’t have to accept the fact that the Sith Emperor resurrected at least a dozen of times, and you can still keep Revan’s original motivations intact. Furthermore, using this idea would also allow you to explain Palpatine’s line in Revenge of the Sith about the Sith ruling the Galaxy once more (which means that they ruled the Galaxy in the past).
