Thinking about the time I tried desperately to get the Shadow Council to send me caf. I wasn't very apt at communicating with the living yet, being newly deceased and all. I tried to write them a message saying "Can you please burn some caf over Admiral Piett's symbolic grave? Thank you!" However, my hand slipped, and I accidentally drenched the entire council in blood. Pellaeon's mustache was pink for weeks after that.

After that, Moff Gideon placed a Crait salt circle around their meeting room, effectively barring all ghostly visits. He never forgave me for ruining his ISB uniform.

Imagine if the shadow council is all twiddling their thumbs waiting for their precious Thrawn to come save them and Rae gets tired of it and is like "You want a Grand Admiral? Well here I am" and steps up as the new brains behind Gideon's imperial remnant

Just a quick reminder on who this guy is.

Besides having been a trustworthy asset to 501st in the Clone Wars when he was captain of the Leveler (he was in particular good terms with captain Rex and had high regards for clone troopers).

Besides having been at the direct service of people such as Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Emperor Palpatine and Grand Moff Tarkin during his imperial service.

Besides being Thrawn's right-hand man and most trusted and loyal follower and protegè.

He acts as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Remnant after Thrawn's death (actually restores the Galactic Empire) strikes an alliance with the New Republic and helps fighting off the Yuuzhan Vong.

Retires.

But then serves as the supreme commander of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force and leads the Galactic Alliance (coming from the union of the New Republic with the Imperial Remnant) through both the Swarm War and the Second Galactic Civil War.

Retires again.

But then he comes back to serve again as leader of the Imperial Remnant (and I would like to point out that when he does man is in his nineties) up to his assassination in 41 ABY when he refuses to support Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo (who he really didn't like)'s faction of the Galactic Alliance.

Through all his life he retained a well earned popularity and autorithy among the Imperial Remnant's Moffs and he was kept in high esteem by the New Republic as well. He particularly had a close and mutually considerate working relationship with Leia Organa.

RESPECT.

#if he's not the definition of “badass”...#i love how he tried to retire twice but had to come back 'cause they just couldn't do without him XD #poor guy XD #gilad pellaeon #captain pellaeon #star wars legends #badass #star wars #the mandalorian #new republic #imperial remnant #galactic alliance

The Apathy of the New Republic

Following on from the Andor-lite episode of "The Mandalorian", "Ahsoka" is doing a great job of painting a picture of the apathy and complacency of the New Republic.

As far as many are concerned the war is won and the Empire scattered, why waste time hunting them?

While I love the sequels, the return to All New Rebels vs All New Empire was an aspect that always felt like a bit of a regression. Nonetheless, I do like the notion (echoing Lucas' sentiments) of Star Wars being cyclical, and the D+ series are doing a great job of showing how that kind of slow slide back into war can happen.

Ultimately it's very true to life. We are a world that lived through two World Wars, the second of which happened in no small part due to the complacency of governments and unwillingness to act on a growing threat.

21 Concepts “Star Wars Ahsoka” Should Have

1. Grand Admiral Thrawn (Legends Style)

For those who don’t know, Grand Admiral Thrawn was a major anti-hero in a popular Star Wars “Hier to the Empire” 1993 novel trilogy. He would later be used again in Disney’s “Star Wars Rebels” series, but the big difference I would like to see is a scaled-up Thrawn from that version. In Rebels, Thrawn seemed to be a bit watered down. He gave away battles as he looked at ‘the big picture’.

A major change that we need to see a Thrawn who is constantly winning important battles and seems unbeatable (as he was in Legends). Someone who dominates the scene almost all the time and only gives up ground when necessary. Someone who only takes battles worth taking rather than wasting time on pointless missions.

Thrawn might be the only big villain in season 1, but that could leave room for another key villain to rise in book 2! Hopefully this villain would be teased during the end of season 1 (read more to find out who I’m talking about).

2. Mara Jade

Like Thrawn, Mara Jade was a major character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe (comics, novels, etc. outside of the main films) before Disney took over. While Disney may be looking to promote the new characters it has introduced, it would be a travesty if they ignore her. Thousands of legends fans would salivate at the sight of her! It would automatically give the series more love and praise. Mara=$$$ so they better not pass this up!

Mara was an Emperor’s Hand meaning she was trained and raised by Emperor Palpatine himself. The Emperor Hand was a special program that is similar to the Imperial Inquisitor program in that it brought in dark force sensitives into the Empire. Like inquisitors, hands were not Palpatine’s actual apprentices and weren’t caught as deeply in the dark side as Vader. On the other hand (no pun intended), Hands didn’t grow up as Jedi.

Mara was also special in that she was trained to be a grey user. Palpatine wanted to see if he could successfully recruit a grey person to his ranks that would be less likely to betray him than another Sith. Mara Jade was pushed to be completely loyal to Palpatine and she was until his ‘passing’ during the Battle of Endor. It would be nice to see Mara with her purple lightsaber, hand-to-hand skills, force lightning, marksmanship (she could use a sniper rifle or pistol in battle), force choke abilities, and wit in to rival Ahsoka.

Mara is also an expert pilot like Luke. She is sort of like a combination of Ventress, Black Widow, and Luke! That is too good of a character to be passed up. And when I say great pilot, I mean even better than Ahsoka good (only Luke should be able to match her in space).

3. Ezra

Now I’ll mention another given, Ezra definitely will be in this show. To be honest with you, I really enjoyed some episodes of Rebels however, I didn’t like most of the show. For me, Rebels seemed a bit watered down (I wanted a gritty war story with lots of cultural/political lore like Star Wars: The Clone Wars). On the bright (or should I say light) side, I got much of what I wanted to see in Rebels with Rogue One and the Mandalorian. I also expect to get even more of that from Andor.

Like Ashoka, when Ezra first entered Rebels, he was very annoying. However, by the third season, I really liked him. He started reminding me of Anakin from the Star Wars 2003 Clone Wars series. Ezra was more mature, powerful, and seemed like a truly gifted Padawan. At this point, we can get an Ezra that is at knight level. We will see this with his maturity and wisdom but hopefully he also knows when to think outside the box like Qui Gon.

4. Lumiya

This is the season 2 boss I was talking about. Maybe operate on her own at first and her loyalists will run into Ahsoka and her friends. After a few conflicts, Lumiya could join forces with Thrawn.

Like Mara Jade, Lumiya was also an Emperor’s Hand. She was brutal, intelligent, adaptive, manipulative, and through in the force. Lumiya was trained more deeply in the darkness than Mara, which makes for a good contrast of their characters.

Mara is that dream female supervillain that ever story needs. She gives me Cheetah vibes from DC Universe or Azula vibes from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Sometimes you really have to appreciate an amazing female villain and Lumiya is one who does this naturally. To add to that, Lumiya was experimented on from a young age. She has super strength, immense speed (like Palpatine), and amazing acrobatics (like Darth Talon).

Lumiya should be portrayed in a way that shows she is obviously physically superior to the other characters in the series. Lumiya uses a lightsaber whip that makes her distinct from other lightsaber duelists. Her whip gives her more range in a duel and she maintains a firm grip of her weapon so she isn’t easily disarmed.

One major disadvantage of the lightsaber whip is that it limits her ability to defend against saber strikes. However, Lumiya is incredibly fast and agile so she can flip and leap away when her enemies attack. On top of that, she uses force push, pull, force throw, and lightning to keep enemies away from her. Another special aspect of Lumiya’s lightsaber whip vs other whips (like the ones used by Zygerian slavers in Star Wars the Clone Wars) should be that it is lethal.

Lumiya also had her own royal guard stormtroopers who have red armor! That makes for a whole different vibe when the main character goes up against her. Lumiya’s character themes also would make an interaction between her and Mara Jade in the show insane. Imagine Mara Jade vs Lumiya in Ahsoka!

But if Disney wants to move in another direction, they could give her imperial royal guards instead. That still works with the epic boss villain afterall, some of them would need a new boss after Sidious.

5. Shadow Stormtroopers

If you have seen any of my other Star Wars threads, it should be obvious that I’m obsessed with the soldiers! Seriously, soldiers are a big part of what made the Clone Wars and Rogue One special! Just because Jedi are in this story doesn’t mean soldiers shouldn’t still get their moments. The Mandalorian brought dark troopers from legends to canon. Star Wars battlefront 2015 brought these guys to canon, still I’d like to see them on the big screen.

Shadowtroopers are stormtroopers that can turn invisible in battle. They are elite which means they have better aim, personal HUDs, superior tactics, smoke grenades, and can adjust more in firefights. Ahsoka would also be strong enough to beat them.

6. Evo Troopers

Here are some of the coolest stormtroopers in history. Evo troopers are environmental experts with armor that can help them survive in several different environments (duh)! What makes them even more special is they basically use electric shotguns in battle and those electric shot guns fire quickly and have a wide range. They are annoying to fight in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Seeing Ahsoka go up against these guys would give many fans a rush of nostalgia and they are just awesome anyway.

7. Tie Phantoms

Star Wars Rebels blessed us with tie defenders. While I didn’t like all the episodes in Rebels, I adore some of the things they did with the show. Tie defenders where special because they were specialized imperial tie fighters that had personal shields and more firepower. Phantoms are special because they are tie fighters that can turn invisible! Another reason they need to do this is because Ahsoka dueled Maul in season 7 of Star Wars the Clone Wars and he was the Phantom Menace!

8. Cal Kestits

Cal was the main character in Star Wars Fallen Order! He is a jedi survivor of Order 66. Fallen Order is one of the best Star Wars things I have seen in a while and it would be nice to see him.

9. Imperial Jumptroopers

One really special thing about Star Wars the Clone Wars, is there were always new droids to fight. From battledroids, to super battledroids, to commando droids, to magnaguards, to crab droids and so on. Imperial jumptroopers have been utilized a good amount by Rebels.

10. New Republic Soldiers

This is something the Mandalorian didn’t show us enough of. Although the New Republic was considered a joke in the show, it realistically would at least function throughout the Core worlds and Colonies. If matters were important enough and there was enough political demand, they would definitely battle against Imperial Remnant forces or whatever other threat is lurking around the galaxy.

11. New Republic Droids

We saw these bad boys in the Mandalorian series. They are durable, accurate shooters, and very strong. Although they are predictable, they would be useful in battle against Imperial forces.

12. Imperial Security Droids

On the flip side of this discussion, it would also be useful for the Empire to use more of its security droids. These guys are very big and strong. They also can run deceptively fast for their size. We see in Rogue One that they are very accurate. But instead of seeing them unarmed like in Fallen Order or with pistols like K-2SO, let’s see them with heavy blaster and disruptor rifles. Then they would be deadly juggernauts in battle that even a jedi would be cautious of taking on.

13. New Republic Light Cruiser

In the Mandalorian, there was a lot of hype about the New Republic Fleet dealing with some shady people in one of the episodes. Unfortunately, what we saw was underwhelming to say the least. We need to see a New Republic cruiser and it doesn’t need to be a massive one (a huge one wouldn’t even make sense in many cases).

14. More Battles

More battles is always useful in Star Wars. Especially during a timeline like this where the New Republic is more powerful than the Rebellion was and the Imperial Remnant strongholds are being knocked down as their resources dwindle.

15. Embo

Embo was a popular and honorable bounty hunter in Star Wars the Clone Wars. It would be great to see him on the big screen. Apparently, he retired and became a farmer but maybe we could see him defend his farm. I also think Embo deserves his own series, but that’s another story for another time.

16. Jedi Leia

The Jedi side of Leia has been abandoned in canon, but that can always change. Adding Leia and even having her fight against someone like Lumiya would be amazing. Still if Lumiya can defeat a seasoned Ahsoka the first time they fight, a less experienced Leia would really be at risk against her. Perhaps that’s where we see more parallels between Leia and her mother.

Padme was often seen as a helpless senator by Jedi but it turned out she could defend herself well with her surprising hand-to-hand and marksmanship skills. Leia showed us the same in A New Hope but in Ahsoka she will have to be even more cautious as she takes on greater challenges with skills that she is still honing.

17. Luke Skywalker

Luke has to be shown at some point in the series. He is just too important to not show.

18. Durge

Durge was a deadly bounty hunter in the Star Wars Clone Wars 2003 miniseries. He also appeared in several comics. Durge has also appeared in one of Disney’s canon comics.

19. Smugglers and pirates

I know this is a given, but I just decided to write it anyway. There literally has to be a couple of episodes with these type of characters. It’s like a Star Wars rite of passage for shows.

20. New Jedi Order

Not every jedi that is listed should be named. Fall Order did a good job of avoiding this mistake. It would be nice to see more ordinary jedi in this show as well and that would also make the Star Wars universe feel bigger. A scene of Luke training padawans would also be nice.

21. Ahsoka and Chewbacca reunite

Ahsoka has actually already met Chewbacca as a teenager during the Clone Wars. It would be nice to see them meet up again. This could also be an opportunity for her to meet Han Solo and Leia.

Preview Excerpt 1 of Upcoming Imperial Remnant AU

Note: I'm working on an Imperial Remnant AU set around the same time as The Mandalorian in which several key players from the Galactic Civil War, namely Piett, Jerjerrod and Motti, survived. The New Republic is quite sinister in this story, inspired largely by events of Episode 3 of The Mandalorian Season 3. Of course, the Imps are not angels either. So, the whole fic is going to be pretty dark overall. Below the cut is a preview excerpt.

Also, I would like to credit @madelgard for first writing Motti and Jerjerrod's twin sons, Jax and Jonnah. Thank you so much for letting me write them!

Pairings: Veers/Piett (with reference to previous Piett/Male Imperial OC), Motti/Jerjerrod

Rating: Will be M (though this excerpt is T)

Per usual, Jerjerrod insisted he stay the night, and Piett was much too exhausted to deny him. From a superficial perspective, he ought to have viewed the offer as a treat. He rarely had the luxury of planetside accommodations these days, and the guest bedroom in Jerjerrod’s estate offered more material comforts than any hotel on Nimora.

But his nights on Tinnel IV were rarely restful. The manor was much too commodious. Every locked door and shaded corridor introduced an element of uncertainty. No amount of reassurance from Jerjerrod could fully appease Piett’s nerves. Oftentimes, he would toss and turn in bed, fighting against the intangible gaze of phantom eyes, until he would surrender his sleep and stumble outside to the balcony.

Tonight, was one of those nights. Piett stood hunched over the railing, his ailing heart still pounding in his chest. The courtyard below seemed to spin, as if he were standing over the edge of a vessel in a churning sea.

The knock on the door behind him seemed so distant at first, he nearly didn’t hear it. Upon the second knock, more insistent than its predecessor, Piett gave a weary response:

“Come in.”

He gave Jerjerrod a brief glance but otherwise kept his eyes set on the courtyard below.

“You don’t have to knock,” Piett muttered. “It’s your own house, after all.”

“Nonsense.” Jerjerrod came forward to stand beside Piett on the balcony. “It would be terribly rude to barge in on a guest unannounced, especially an honored guest like yourself. You could have been handling a private matter.”

He was wearing a silken nightgown. Chandrilan silk, if Piett recalled correctly. Perhaps it was a gift from some New Republic senator, another renowned benefactor of the regime. The thought left Piett repulsed.

“What did you think I’d be doing?” Piett grumbled. “Private insurgent activities?”

The statement was (mostly) meant as a joke. However, the wounded look in Jerjerrod’s eyes immediately made Piett regret the gibe.

He’s letting you stay in his house, dammit. You ought to be nicer to him.

“Apologies,” Piett said. “I didn’t mean that seriously.”

“Ah, yes, of course,” Jerjerrod replied, though the hurt lingered in his voice. “I simply meant that there are any number of reasons you wouldn’t want to be disturbed. Perhaps you were sleeping or indecent.”

“Indecent?” Piett chuckled. “I’m not a horny young cadet, Tiaan.”

“I know, I know, it was merely an example.” Jerjerrod offered a slight smile before his tone sobered once more. “Really though, Firmus, are you alright?”

“I’m more than fine,” Piett said. “I haven’t felt this good since Endor. Why do you ask?”

“I heard you cry out.” Jerjerrod’s gaze flitted downward, as if he’d admitted an embarrassing secret. “Conan told me I should leave you be, but I couldn’t help but worry.”

“Ah.” Piett hoped the darkness concealed his sheepish flush. “Apologies. I hope I didn’t wake the boys.”

“You didn’t. I checked on them on my way here. They were both sleeping soundly.”

There was a warm glint in Jerjerrod’s eyes at the mention of the twins. Piett knew the look. He’d seen it in his own reflection when he’d tucked Tír in for the night. He’d seen it in his husband those nights when they’d finally shut off the lights after the third or fourth round of bedtime stories. Then, they’d retired to their own room and talk about idle things.

The memory still stung.

“In any case, I wanted to be sure that you weren’t in some sort of distress,” Jerjerrod went on. “It was a little alarming, frankly.”

“No need to be alarmed,” Piett said. “It’s just a bit of an irritating habit I’ve picked up. I suppose it doesn’t bother me, saying as I sleep through the episodes. It’s Max who I pity…”

Piett caught the slip a few seconds too late. He must truly have been exhausted to mention Veers so casually in this setting.

“How is he?” Jerjerrod asked.

“Who?” Piett said, as if the redundant question would negate Jerjerrod’s curiosity.

“Veers, of course,” said Jerjerrod. “How is he? Do you see him often?”

Piett gave no reply. Even if not for the political divide between them, discussing Veers was getting to be increasingly complicated.

“I promise, I’m asking you this in complete confidence,” Jerjerrod said with a kind of earnestness Firmus could only describe as child-like. “I can even keep it from Conan if you insist, though I will admit it’ll be a challenge. He can be very pushy, but after all these years together, I’ve gotten quite good at saying no to him.”

“I’m sure I can’t tell you anything that you don’t already know,” Piett replied. “As much as I’d like to think the New Republic is blind to the affairs of the Outer Rim, I’m very aware they know more than they let on. Which means you know.”

Jerjerrod paused, searching for the proper words. Clearly, the Republic Senate was rubbing off on him.

“There are rumors,” Jerjerrod said. “Not about you, though. Your secret has been quite safe in that regard – you have my word that I would tell you if there was any danger regarding that – but I have heard rumors about Veers. Some say he’s working with Gideon to design a weapon of some kind. Others say he’s merged forces with Delvardus’s Fleet.”

Piett resisted the urge to smirk upon. The idea that Veers would consider any other admiral was preposterous. The General had little regard for most navy men amongst the surviving Imperials, save one exception. Indeed, the offer was ever present in Piett’s mind. He thought of it often during their fuel negotiations and supply exchanges.

And of course, he thought about it a great deal in the depths of the night, when he lay in Veers’s embrace, contented and guilt-ridden and aggrieved all at once.

“That’s interesting,” Piett said. “Well, it seems you have your share of gossip. I don’t see what else I’d be able to contribute.”

Jerjerrod’s silence conveyed his understanding. It was difficult to believe that barely five years ago, they’d served each other as confidants. That too had crumbled as the Empire burned. They made do with the ashes.

Piett left before dawn without a goodbye. As rude as the gesture seemed, it was safer for everyone that way. Secrecy spared Jerjerrod and Motti the awareness of his departure. In the morning, the twins would ask where Uncle Firmus had gone, and Motti would concoct some absurd tale to lighten the matter. Last time, he’d claimed that Piett was off hunting for Zillo Beast eggs in the Unknown Regions. This had caused no small amount of confusion when Jax and Jonnah had hounded Piett with questions about the legendary serpent and whether they could please keep one of the babies as a pet if he found enough eggs to spare. He’d promised to keep an eye out for them.

They keep showing that cool/shiny new republic fleet throughout the series and I just know it's a setup for Thrawn turning up with a couple of battered star destroyers in the finale and absolutely wrecking it

Personally, I tried to tell Moff Gideon that the name was a tad melodramatic, but I wasn't very good at communicating with the living at that point.

Ok but like... why is Brendol even at that shadow council meeting? He's part of Rae Sloane's remnant, not Gideon's. Wouldn't Rae be at that meeting representing her group? Is Brendol attending on her behalf? Behind her back? Is he going behind Rae's back to send supplies to Gideon? Are they just writing Rae out of the lore? Is it because of the possible Rae and Rey confusion?

He was inspired by the dedication of clones and wanted to implement that in his own raised from birth soldiers but I don't think he was established as the clone guy? So that's new ig

Rae's remnant was already calling itself the First Order back in 5 ABY and The Mandalorian is in 9 ABY soooo is this being retconned?
