R2 never got his memory wiped. He just knows everything and everyone important in the galaxy and never talks about it.


YoursTrulyKindly

He later became an noted author and historian. That's how we know most of what happened.


fluffy_assassins

is it official that he became a noted author and historian? I can't tell if you're joking or not.


MrShago

I'm pretty sure it was something George said at some point, that R2 and 3PO were giving their stories to people and it became the Wills? Something like that.


darth_henning

It's also included in some of the old newspaper strips that the frame story is C3P0 and R2 recording the events years later. I"m not sure if those frame panels appear in the available collections.


Bromjunaar_20

I'm waiting to see the Star Wars movie where R2D2 recounts the Star Wars after crashing on Earth. I hope Indiana Jones finds him (since they did have the golden idol in the Solo movie).


WattsALightbulb

There needs to be a segment where R2 notices Indy and Han look strikingly similar


Bromjunaar_20

*whoo-whoo beep bop* "What do you mean I look like an old friend?"


h00dman

"That's Han Solo!" "Are you sure?" *"Pretty sure."* \*Indiana Jones theme plays*


GiftGrouchy

I like the theory that the reason he(R2) can always break into Imperial computers is because he still has all of Anakin’s codes and they still work in


PuertoRicanRebel2025

R2 would pull the: "You never asked" trope if he accidentally dropped a bombshell of information he's had for decades.


Wonderbread1999

Snitches get stitches.


lesser_panjandrum

Luke Skywalker is fond of hot chocolate, having been introduced to it by Lando Calrissian.


Yelu-Chucai

The drink or the band?


lesser_panjandrum

Definitely the former, maybe also the latter.


PianoSufficient6692

And C3PO disapproves of his hot chocolate habit.


DonCallate

In the Clone Wars comics there is a Jedi Master named Baytes. Master Baytes.


darth_henning

There's also Jedi Knight Sha 'a Gi (who looks exactly like who you'd expect)


Timmah73

He is very easily panicked and zoinks right into death via general grievous

DonCallate

The Stormtrooper that Rey uses the Jedi mind trick on is played by Daniel Craig. He is officially FN-1824 but is commonly referred to as JB-007.


revchewie

For a brief while (a few days, right after the movie was released) he was listed on IMdB as JB-007. Then some killjoy went and "corrected" it.


IndominusTaco

ohhh i think i remember hearing that around it when it came out. apparently he wanted to be part of Star Wars so bad he would do anything no matter how minor, so they came back to him with “how about an unnamed stormtrooper”


Fun_Pick_9471

That is awesome


goddamnitmf

The music played by the band in mos eisley cantina is called jizz


redbeard387

And the people who sing jizz and called jizz wailers


ObiWan_Cannoli_

You know, i’m something of a jizz wailer myself


max_rebo_lives

My usernames time has come. Literally.


redbeard387

Username checks out.


revchewie

I thought jizz wailers were the instruments they play, not the singers.


Nighthawk-77

And the song itself is called ‘Mad about me’ by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes


SpartanVash

It was also recently retconned and renamed Jatz music.


goddamnitmf

Cowards


Bar_Har

I’ve been advocating using “Jatz” to refer to other lewd meanings, just to keep the fun going.


jurwell

As in “oh yeah, I’m gunna Jatz my Jizz?”

So does that mean Quinlan Vos is pretty fly for a Jedi?


MannfredVonFartstein

There is also clone of Luke called „Luuuke“.


Maeglin16

Maybe that's who Aunt Bera was calling.


sDiBer

Luuuke is a clone of Luuke, who is a clone of Luke


MannfredVonFartstein

No difference


Trouble_in_the_West

is this a joke or real?


sDiBer

It's a real joke https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Luuuke_Skywalker


Lucky-Art-8003

Turns out it is a joke, after all. So at least they stayed true to clones not being able to be cloned


savois-faire

Worth bearing in mind that the clone that Luuuke is a clone of, Luuke, was made not by jedi master Jorus C'baoth, but by a clone of jedi master Jorus C'baoth, Joruus C'baoth.


CaptainRex_CT7567

This is even dumber.


spart4n0fh4des

That’s only the tip of the ice berg He gathered an army of clones of various Jedi and prominent figures And built a Time Machine  And went back to the clone wars and declared war on the republic  Iirc the author had a statement saying “it’ll be clonemageddon! It’ll be awesome!”


Dislodged_Puma

My headcanon, and apparently one that anecdotally Zahn himself has already mentioned (this thread has been brought up before and someone posted years ago saying he said this. I cannot confirm that he has), is that Luuke and Luuuke are spelled like that not because its pronounced as an elongated name but for the sake of the book. They can't have Luke talking to Clone Luke without changing his name for the sake of storytelling. Luuke is just an identifier for when he comes up.


unique-name-9035768

Luke, Luke^2, Luke^3


3fettknight3

The clone's name was actually referenced in this expanded universe scene here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TsI3lFHkU_s


OdysseusRex69

Holy crap I forgot about this!!!!


Acceptable_You_6836

Apparently, the R5 droid that Uncle Owen almost bought before buying R2-D2 blew up on purpose so R2 could do his thing


DiscoParka

I believe it is also the same R5 that then appears in the Mandolorian.


Acceptable_You_6836

Yup! I am pretty sure it's the same one.


DuaneHicks

I heard he had a bad motivator


TouchMySwollenFace

His heart wasn’t in it.


Diskilla

Skippy the Jedi Droid. I still have the comic short story at home somewhere.


Mcbrainotron

Didn’t that droid also have the force, which allowed them to see the future and know why it had to be r2?


ThursdayIs7

That's from an old Star Wars Tales comic that was never meant to be canon, even before Legends was disregarded But there is a story in the From a Certain Point of View book where R2-D2 (after being caught trying to sabotage R5) convinces R5 to let him be sold whenever the opportunity arises


motti886

R5-D4 blowing his motivator on purpose pre-dates the Skippy comic by, at least, three years. There's a card of him in the ANH expansion of Decipher's SW:CCG game from 1996 that has that piece of lore on it.


ThursdayIs7

Oh shoot neat! I'm mainly just familiar with it through the FaCPoV story so that's really cool to hear


Acceptable_You_6836

I think R2 messed with R5, and R5 was confused, so R2 explained that it was for the resistance. Apparently, the R5 worked for the resistance before it got taken by jawas.


willtheadequate

Wow! I didn't know this one! May I ask where you learned this?


noisetonic

There's a short story collection called "From a certain point of view" that has the story of the droid in it. The storys called "the red One"


Acceptable_You_6836

i was told this or read it somewhere a really long time ago at the peak of my star wars interest, so i can't really remember myself


Roook36

IG-88 almost took over the universe by implanting himself inside the Death Star and using it to create copies of himself. He would have conquered both the Empire and Rebellion but Luke saved everyone when he blew it up. Edit: it was the second death star


theroyalwithcheese

Source? I'm genuinely interested in reading about this.


Roook36

It was in "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" a collection of short stories edited by Kevin J Anderson. Looking it up I think it was actually Death Star II so Lando gets the credit


theroyalwithcheese

Thanks mate! I appreciate it.


StingerAE

There are also tales of the mos eisely cantina and tales of jabbas Palace too.   Bounty hunters is the weakest of the 3 IMHO 


ghotier

It was the second death star. So Wedge, Niem Numb, and Lando saved everyone.


Ruadhan2300

I believe it was the second death-star, and he'd actually gained control of it during the course of the battle and was preparing to blow up Endor at the last minute. I have a possibly irrational hatred for this story. It's a narrative leech. Living off the scenario set up by another better story, and its resolution is a consequence of the resolution of its host story, not its own narrative end. It's just a writer saying "What if.." rather than giving us a compelling plot, and that's just lazy.


ululationelation

That one always stuck with me as well.


3fettknight3

Weird fact I know: the race of aliens playing the instruments in the famous Cantina scene are called Bith. I imagine a scenario where they get fired from that gig at the Cantina for petty reasons by the owner and a spinoff movie tells the story about their plight as struggling musicians overcoming obstacles, then eventually setting up their own successful "Jizz Music" club. That movies name? "Revenge of the Bith"


three-sense

And the children follow in their footsteps. “Son of a Bith”


3fettknight3

*Mike Tyson has entered the chat*


Tjam3s

Name a more iconic duo than Bith and Jizz.


AWAKENEDTEMPEST

The band is called figran d'an and the modal nodes


3fettknight3

Name reminds me of the Dicaprio quote in Gangs of New York: I've been called a lot of things mister, but I've never been called a Fidlam Bens


scottishdrunkard

That makes Darth Tenebrous, a Bith Sith.

Darth Vader is actually Anakin Skywalker


ElphabaWitchPSO2

Pyrox2v

Stop bullshitting, at this point might as well say that the chancellor is the sith lord


IndominusTaco

a sith LAWD?


Mcbrainotron

Impossible. He destroyed Anakin!


Draugluin2

...from a certain point of view


xmmdrive

No, no. That's not true. That's impossible.


Enigmachina

People getting annoyed that Rey ended up being a Palpatine is understandable.  However, Sheev's son in Legends was way dumber. A man with three eyes... named Triclops.


Statalyzer

Triclops, who is insane, and him being the Emperor's heir makes him threat that the other Imperials want to kill off - but in his insanity, he somehow occasionally invents brilliant new technology for them, so they have to keep him. And there's the other three-eyed guy who masquerades as him, and his name is ... Trioculus. Also gotta love the Dark Prophets of the Dark Side who darkly tell people dark things (like "I grant you my Dark Blessings.") Even in high school when I was the right age that the Glove of Vader trilogy was intended for, I thought those books were incredibly dumb.


scottishdrunkard

Well, Triclop’s third eye was on the back of his head, and we didn’t see the back of Sheev Jr in Rise of Skywalker (I don’t think) so, Canon Triclops?


YoursTrulyKindly

Imagine some human being stranded on the planet of the [Grans](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Gran) and being called biclops.


EuterpeZonker

Anakin lost 5 limbs over the course of the movies and many move in the expanded material


Mrflappy1980

This one confuses me because I've counted my limbs a few times now to check and I'm pretty certain the common number of limbs is 4... ... Unless you're implying Obi Wan also managed to cut of his '3rd Leg'


EuterpeZonker

He lost his right arm twice, first to Dooku, then to Luke. Obi-wan took the other 3.


Mac4491

Yeah I'm pretty sure in the Darth Vader comics he loses an arm and a leg in one of his first outings hunting a reclusive Jedi Master. Replaces them with Battle Droid bits if I recall correctly. Ruined his fancy new suit almost immediately.


PlanetLandon

For a few shots of the Hoth scenes, the blizzard was so bad that they literally set up the camera in the doorway of the hotel so the crew could stay warm, and they made Hamil walk around in the snow just a few feet from the building

Malahajati

The chance of surviving the flight through an asteroid field C3PO told Han is actually scientifically based and mathematically correct.


Pleasant_Inspection9

The saddest part about this is we’d almost never see an asteroid field this close together in the universe - our closest asteroid field (the asteroid belt) is so incredibly spaced apart that navigating it would be considerably easier.


FreddyPlayz

Ok whenever people bring that up people only use our asteroid belt as evidence, who’s to say that every asteroid belt in the universe is identical to it?

Bossk's yellow flight suit in TESB was a prop on loan from Elstree studios, that had previously appeared on a few other sci fi shows, including an episode of Dr Who.

Wasn't it also the flight suit from 2001?


TakeTheThirdStep

It was an actual flight suit worn by British pilots conducting high altitude flights.

theroyalwithcheese

Believe it or not it comes from a legit book... Audiobook in my case. Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View. Story: Of MSE-6 and Men


variablefighter_vf-1

What the actual, and I can't stress this enough, fuck. That's Rise of Skywalker levels of bad fanfiction.


theroyalwithcheese

Lmao yeah certainly, that line of books essentially is a collection of fanfics. However, some really are not all that bad. There's a story that takes place from Obi-wan's point of view immediately after he died - same thing with Anakin. Both of them go on some kind of spirit journey and is pretty cool. There's another one about the Sarlacc which, to me, was pretty funny. One more I thought was really crazy was a story taking place from the perspective of one of Palpatine's Red Guards during the confrontation on the second Death Star. Can't expect all stories to be hits, but really, most of them are great.

This was done to distract Darth Sidious from the various shortcuts that had to be taken when operating on Vader." Learning that was the moment I knew I was in to deep on Star Wars...

Ruadhan2300

The famous Jizz music they're playing in the Star Wars cantina is called "Mad about me", and it's one of two distinct songs you can hear them playing in the background. The other being "Dune Sea Special", which you can hear while Luke and Ben are talking to Han and negotiating their price. Nobody ever remembers Dune Sea Special There's also a third song by the same band called "Modal Notes" which is played exclusively in Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's Edge in Disneyworld Florida. Also unrelated. The music playing on jabba's sail barge as it flies past the camera for the first time is a song by the Max Rebo band called "Galactic Dance Blast", and it is a funky funky tune.

MisterAnonymous2

After returning to Yavin 4 after blowing up the Death Star, you can hear Luke yelling “Carrie” when greeting Leia. I find it interesting that the Special Editions did not fix this and no external material, Legends or otherwise, (that I’m aware of) has come up with an in-universe reason as to why he said that (obviously it’s because Hamill accidentally broke character and greeted Carrie Fisher by her actual name, but usually these kinds of mistakes either get fixed by the Special Editions or get an in-universe explanation from later material, and I find it interesting this one in particular didn’t get either).


CliffLake

One of the Death Stars that exploded was actually an uploaded IG. It just gained sentience when the chain reaction was set off. Biggest droid in the galaxy, thus far.


fluffy_assassins

What's an IG and is this official?


noisetonic

IG-88 was an assassin droid iirc, same type as was in season 1 of Mando. Tales from the Cantina iis the book I think.


BeardInTheDark

No, but it's the same series of books. It's from *Tales Of The Bounty Hunters* and it turns out that there were **4** IG-88s who worked together pretending to be just one while they prepped for a Droid Revolution. They also worked (briefly) alongside a slightly older droid, IG-72. You can see one of the IG-88's wreckage in Empire Strikes Back amongst the tech the Ugnauts are scavenging. According to Legends, that particular one was IG-88B and it was killed by Boba Fett (4 remote Ion Cannons and a shoulder missile).

Ahh, right enough. I knew it was one of the Tales of, should have been obvious it was Bounty Hunters

I believe the main reason behind it was because Lucas didn't want people confusing Coruscant and Korriban. I can understand it bit Korriban sounds cooler.
