Wookieepedia says that the Wampa that Luke cut an arm off of isn't the same Wampa that attacked Luke because one of its sources used a masculine pronoun when describing the attack scene and a femimine pronoun when describing the escape scene. The movie made it clear to me that it's the same Wampa in those two scenes. The book's pronouns were clearly typos.

The wampa who knocked Luke off his tauntaun and the wampa who lunged at him in the cave probably were meant to be one and the same creature, but separating them does resolve the question of why the wampa looks noticeably different between the two scenes.
Also, IMO, the creature on the bottom does look kind of feminine, at least in comparision to the one on the top.

But how would Luke end up in the possession of a different Wampa? And aren't the differences a result of one being from the OOT and other being added in 97?

It could have been a mating pair and the mate that caught Luke was still out hunting when he came to. The Wampa has always been problematic in that none of its different iterations were identical:

No, there was always a quick shot of the Wampa rushing at Luke. The SE just expanded the scene with more shots. Here's the SE Wampa:

I'm curious as to how you all feel about the one-armed Wampa organizing an army and recognizing Luke.

One Armed Wampa would be a cool name for a band. ;)

I agree. I want to see a Star Wars Tales comic with a band called One Armed Wampa.

That was something from the Callista trilogy, wasn't it?

Yup. It's in Darksaber.

Darksaber is such a forgettable novel that I only remember the stuff on Hoth hazily. KJA wrote it, though, so I have no doubt that it's a poor idea executed poorly.

BBY/ABY being the official calendar of the New Republic. A regime making its own formation year 0 seems Orwellian to me and I'm not sure what purpose the New Republic doing that serves. The New Republic should use the same calendar that was used before The Empire was formed and the Battle of Yavin as year 0 should remain exclusively out-of-universe.

Agreed. The only good thing about Darksaber is the cover.

Was the BBY/ABY an in-universe calender? I always thought it was just for readers.
I guess that explains the outrage when the Story Group established a new calender system for the canon universe.

BBY/ABY started off as a purely out-of-universe calendar, but somewhere along the line it became an in-universe calendar as well.
From my perspective, I can't help but wonder why it would be used in-universe, anyway. A better starting point for a new calendar would be at the Battle of Endor, not the Battle of Yavin.

This new calendar replaced the BBY/ABY calendar, or am I misunderstanding?

Went and looked back into it. Turns out it was just fans reading too much into a couple tweets Leland Chee had made establishing the span of years between the films and shows.
There is a new trend of different planets each having their own dating systems though.

In Bane of the Sith, Darth Bane encounters spirits of Kaan and Qordis. Darth Bane: Rule of Two says that those spirits were just hallucenations.

I liked the idea of the celestials. But I guess it would get old quick.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

The problem is that EVERYTHING was linked to them, from the origins of the Jedi and Sith to hyperdrives to the balance of The Force to why Tatooine is a desert, not just similarities between species on different planets and things like that.
