Heh.
I need some help, people. I'm writing a fic that takes place in like the really far future. Anyone have an idea for some kind of threat that could challenge an empire that spans the Mid and Outer Rims?
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.A flesh eating force sensitive bacteria that operates as a Hive Mind through the force.
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for youEh xD I was thinking the Killiks at first but that seems like a way to beat them would have to be a Deus ex Machina since they swarm their enemies. And I don't want the Sith because that's cliche, and in the universe, the Hutts have been made extinct...

My angry rant blog!A Klingon invasion. Seriously. The GFFA is supposedly another Galaxy in OUR Universe, and Trek is supposed to be OUR future, so the two could mix. Can't be any worse than the Vong.
A new religion of the force?
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for youI'm thinking of maybe like a single hive of Killiks, because even one would probably have millions inside it, not to mention possible Joiners. Sort of like the Swarm War, even though that had multiple hives in it that could churn out millions as well.
Ah fuck it, sticking with the original plan. Killiks it is XD

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.You could have a Wreck It Ralph ending. Like, a beacon that they're all drawn to.
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for youAs much as I don't want the Sith to be involved I'm debating making the villain a Killik Sith Lord (yes, apparently such a thing happened)
Though maybe it's just a Killik queen that wants more room for her hive or sees the empire as a threat.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.Oh yeah, that guy. What a Continuity Snarl; he predates the founding of the Sith Order.
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."Yeah, I'm thinking just rogue Killik hive, no Sith lord.
The system for my setting's Jedi (or what passes for them) is actually kind of good, I think. You're still taken when you're young and given your training in the Force and whatnot, but you're allowed to marry, have children, and form attachments, though you are pressed upon that loyalty to the realm comes before selfish desire.
The Knights also pretty much serve as the Emperor's personal guard, sort of like a hybrid of the Imperial Knights from the Legacy comics and the Jedi from the Old Republic. They do guard the Emperor mostly but they also lead armies and go on missions to various trouble spots and conduct diplomacy (particularly in this setting to the Core Union, the other powerful faction in the galaxy at the time, made up of the Core Worlds)
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.Here's a thought: is it possible the EU writers knew the reboot was coming? Because I can't help but notice that the last few years of Legends resolved a lot of dangling issues. Among other things, a good amount of new information regarding the founding of the Jedi and Sith was revealed, the identities of the Celestials were made known, and the human cockroach that is Cronal was finally killed off.
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."There was also Crucible, which apparently finally put everything to rest with the Original Trilogy characters.
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.Unless they already knew Disney would buy them years in advance I'm going to say no. It could have just been a coincidence.
Lucas Film might have told them they were being sold. That kind of sale does seem like it would take a very long time to arrange. Legal issues, copyright issues (music, characters, images, contracted works, etc).
And of course, negotiating the price.
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for youI was interested in reading Crucible but 'Ive heard it's not very good; shame.
Also, they can kill Cronal but Daala gets to live? Sigh.
The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."Well at least she's overthrown and hopefully arrested.
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.Also, the last reference books gave us a bunch of pictures of long-mysterious characters - the five founders of the Sith, King Adas, Xendor, and Chief of State Cal Omas, whose lack of a picture was actually a meme for a while.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.It was explicitly stated in the Book of Sith reference book that the Sith were founded by Ajunta Pall (who appeared in the first KOTOR game), Xoxann, Karness Muur (both from the Legacy comics), Baron Remulus Dreypa (who would go on to be the main villain of Lost Tribe of the Sith) and Sorzus Syn (an original character to the reference book).

My headcanon states that there is no Light or Dark side to the Force, but the actions and intentions of the users of the Force can be good or evil. The Force gives its powers to everyone who has enough of those fancy named microscopic bugs in their cells, and it's up to the users to decide what to do with those powers: hurt others for personal benefits, or protect people from injustice.
My angry rant blog!@Authors didn't know about the sale: IIRC the author of Plagueis and Tarkin was angry when he heard about it since he would have to rewrite Tarkin which would delay the book yet again and Plagueis had barely been out and now it was already useless.
I agree with . The ancient Jedi talked about Bogan and Ashla, but it's really more a matter of how you use the Force yourself, and what you do is the philosophy you follow. Wanting to cause pain causes Force lightning, you fall to the dark side if your attachments start to rule you and you let your anger take over.

Hamill is the best.
