I used to be nocturnal for a certain Lucasfilm Animation series.
I edit online encyclopaedias, like one called Wookieepedia— (Go-Visit-Wookieepedia.org).
Aside from that, I would consider myself an individual interested in film keyset images and similar.

I just desired to ask Hidalgo if the LSG are still adhering to the circa 25,000 BBY/BSW4 date for the founding/formation of the (old) Galactic Republic, as established in sources like The Star Wars Book, or if Timelines' re-dating of circa 20,000 BBY is what ought to be listed.

Folks reasonably assume footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are "truth", but it is now standard practice for studios to alter footage from "making-of" videos.

I've been looking into Mon Mothma's costumes and I've been wondering, is the "Hanna Pendant" and "Chandrilan Medal of Freedom" meant to be different names for the same thing, or are they seperate things entirely? @infinata.bsky.social

I desired to inquire about this, since it is a matter I've been pondering on recently.
Concerning two particular unit production stills of the ANH film keyset, do you Chee or Hidalgo know the reason why the lightsaber blades are uncoloured or white?

Is this video report from Star Wars Celebration VI on StarWars.com supposed to be restricted to the public?
I would not ping you in more ordinary circumstances, however I actually desired to view it, only to be left with a YouTube excerpt.

Tony seems to imply that Saw started huffing Rhydo through that mask after Luthen gave him that device, seemingly retconning the R1 comic adaptation where he already has it years before Andor. Also weird how he says we didn't know what it is, as supplementary material confirmed it was oxygen.

@holocronkeeper.bsky.social about the ordnance, which is utilised in the MG-100 StarFortress bombers. These were defined as magno-charges, but subsequent sources drop this term.
Any reason as to why?

Are satellites and meteors disappointed to come down in the ocean? You'd figure they'd want to end their cosmic journey turning the Heritage Foundation into a crater, drilling an orphanage or at least interrupting a sporting event. Something more notable than "Indian Ocean west of Jakarta." Boring.

Okay, issue 1 of SW Jedi Knights was actually really good. Rahzzah's cover is gorgeous and Madibek Musabekov's interior art was decent, but what really got me hooked was the story, instantly craving more. Can't wait to see where this goes! Great job by Marc Guggenheim.

@infinata.bsky.social You once elaborated on the lost blue bird social platform on the inspiration or origin of the idea to name the line of Cygnus/Sienar shuttles as 'Abecedarian' for Rogue One's Visual Dictionary. Why was the name chosen again, if I may ask, was it just the definition lol?

Mortis and the force itself is something that came straight from George, and is something that he's very protective of. Although Filoni was the supervising director Christian was tasked with actually making sense of George's insane ideas, would be a mistake not to consult either of them..
Praying to all that is holy that Dave Filoni consults with Christian Taylor for Ahsoka season 2. Especially given all the Mortis/Force stuff he's presumably going to be dealing with writing, very tricky thing to do..

I've been investigating posters, and a particular one has caused me to devote much more time into researching it than anticipated.
The poster in question is TESB's theatrical advanced/teaser one-sheet produced for the holiday period of 1979 (designated as EP5-POS-3 in the Lucasfilm Image Archive).
