“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.

Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a historically-inaccurate holodrama.
Immediately before dying, Luke heard Padmé calling him by his name from the netherworld of the Force.
«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.»

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.

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.
I know that this kind of contradicts both Canon and Legends encyclopedias, but I maintain that the first life forms in the entire history of the Galaxy developed on Naboo. Then, life spread from Naboo to the rest of the Galaxy through panspermia.

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
Dormé (the handmaiden that was played by Rose Byrne in Attack of the Clones) is actually Anakin’s half-sister. Dormé’s father lived on Tatooine for some years, and had a romance with Shmi before she was captured and sold into slavery. The Hutts captured her shortly after she gave birth to Dormé, but the newborn Dormé and her father managed to escape without being captured by the Hutts, and fled to Naboo. Shmi never saw Dormé and her father again, and the Force impregnated her two years after she was sold as a slave to Watto. She never tried to look for Dormé and her father even after she was freed from slavery, because she knew that both of them had a completely new life at that point, and she didn’t want to mess up their lives. And Dormé never knew that she was adopted, because both her father and her adoptive mother never told her. So… yeah, one of Padmé’s handmaidens was actually related to Anakin, and neither of them ever knew that.

Rogue One and Solo are in-universe holothrillers produced under the New Republic as celebrations of Rebel heroes. While the broadstrokes events are true, creative license was taken with the details for dramatic effect.

I feel that way regarding virtually every SW film and TV show.

Indeed. This idea goes back to the earliest conception of the franchise - all are tales told by C-3PO and R2-D2 (or recovered from their memory units).
