340
341----
342
343> That which surrounds us, binds us.  
344In our connection to one, all is connected.  
345This is the truth of the Force, no more, no less:  
346Life binds the living.  
347That which rises must fall, and that which falls  
348must rise.  
349From the first breath of the infant  
350To the last breath of the aged,  
351We are one, together.  
352—Kiru Hali, Sage of Uhnuhakka  
353
354----
355
356> I perceive, in all things, this truth:  
357That we are forever bound to the Force,  
358And that the Force forever binds us together.  
359What we do to one, we therefore do to all.  
360And thus it is upon us to grant to all  
361What we would wish for ourselves.  
362—Karyn I’Yin, Sisters of Sarrav
363
364----
365
366> You say:  
367I cannot name the nameless,  
368Nor praise the unknown,  
369Nor swear upon that I do not understand,  
370When all ends in Death.  
371And I say:  
372Then you are not alive.  
373—Aurek, Pupil of the Central Isopter
374
375----
376
377> In darkness I follow  
378the light and find my way  
379to the beginning  
380again,  
381and again,  
382and again  
383—Sajar Ohmo, Clan of the Toribota  
384
385----
386
387> There is no Emotion, there is Peace.  
388There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge.  
389There is no Passion, there is Serenity.  
390There is no Chaos, there is Harmony.  
391There is no Death. There is the Force.  
392—Anonymous, “[The Jedi Code](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsReference/wiki/cliffnotes/jedisithcodes),” also known as “The Jedi’s Meditation” (apocryphal)  
393
394----
395
396> From this moment I step into my next.  
397From this place I step into my next.  
398From this life I step into my next.  
399For I am one with the Force,  
400For ever and For ever.  
401—Coxixian Prayer for the Departed
402
403----
404
405> Peace is a lie.  There is only Passion.  
406Through Passion I gain Strength.  
407Through Strength I gain Power.  
408Through Power I gain Victory.  
409Through Victory my chains are Broken.  
410The Force shall free me.  
411—[The Code of the Sith](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsReference/wiki/cliffnotes/jedisithcodes), translated from Qotsisajak
412
413----
414
415> Those who set a course and cannot adjust their heading  
416will break upon the rocks as surely as those who sail heedless of direction.  
417We cannot change the direction of the wind.  
418Nor can we afford to be blown whichever way it so chooses.  
419We act; we decide; and we are acted upon.  
420So it is in all things that I wish to honor those who have come before.  
421So it is in all things that I wish to prepare the way for those who shall come after.  
422And I remind myself:  
423in the Force, there is no end, but only beginnings.  
424 —Oz Ladnod, Poet to the Royal Court of Onderon
425
426----
427
428> Those who would see all the galaxy burn,  
429But themselves,  
430And who would see all the tears shed,  
431But their own,  
432Diminish and diminish and diminish,  
433Unto nothing,  
434And from nothing,  
435To nothing,  
436Is no thing.  
437—Mete Janvaren of Mirial
438
439----
440
441> Where you see darkness,  
442I see stars.  
443—Laech Min-Glsain
444
445----
446
447> The moment between breaths  
448Is the balance of the Force.  
449Between life and death.  
450Rest and action.  
451Serenity and passion.  
452Hope and despair.  
453—Nartun Trecim, Ascendant of Mau
454
455----
456
457> We are awash in emotion, every day, every moment.  
458We are buffeted, we are confused, and sometimes,  
459yes, we are consumed.  
460When the pond is disturbed, we cannot see within.  
461When the pond is still, we can see with clarity.  
462In both instances, the water is still there.  
463So too is the Force like the water,  
464whether you see it clearly or not.  
465—Dejammy Shallon, teacher and priestess of D’janis IV
466
467----
468
469> The Force is with me,  
470and I am one with the Force;  
471and I fear nothing,  
472because all is as the Force wills it.  
473—The Guardian’s Mantra, author unknown

481#Differences Between the Canonized Versions of the Original Junior Novels and Originals of the Original Trilogy
482
483[Main Index](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsReference/wiki/index)  
484
485The junior novelizations of the original trilogy, by Ryder Windham, were re-released for the 40th anniversary of *A New Hope*. The new versions were edited to bring them in line with Canon. [Iron_lord of the Jedi Council Forums](http://boards.theforce.net/threads/ryder-windham-newcanon-junior-novelizations-changes-made.50045307/) has compared the two versions of each book and listed the changes. He has kindly given permission to reproduce them here.
486
487----
488
489##A New Hope
490
491Strike-through words have been deleted - bolded words have been added (sometimes replacing underlined words).  
492
493> The Clone Wars were over, leaving entire civilizations in ruin. The Jedi Knights were all but extinct. And the Old Republic … the democratic galactic government that had prevailed for almost ~~25,000 years~~ **a thousand years**… had been replaced by the Galactic Empire.  
494
495Word change.  
496
497> After Rebel spies learned of the Death Star project, they managed to ~~intercept an Imperial transmission of~~ **steal a copy of** the space station’s technical data. 
498
499Word change.  
500
501> “There’ll be no escape for the princess this time,” C-3PO said just loud enough for R2-D2 to hear. ~~Mere minutes before the Star Destroyer attacked, the Tantive IVís commanding officer, Captain Antilles, had issued command/control instructions to the droids, ordering them to restrict and protect all references to Leia Organa's identity and presence onboard the Tantive IV.~~  
502 
503Cut line.  
504
505> ~~R2-D2 and the R2-5 unit rotated their heads and glanced at each other. Besides their respective colors and head shapes, the two astromechs differed in cost and utility: R2-5 was substantially cheaper but R2-D2 could store more sets of hyperspace coordinates in active memory. Starpilots commonly referred to R2-5 units as R2s, but neither astromech took it personally. 
506Cut scene~~  
507
508
509All later references to R2-5 have been changed to "Red", "red astromech", "red unit", etc.  
510
511> In addition to their standard armor and survival gear, the stormtroopers wore pauldrons - protective shoulder armor - over their right shoulders. All the pauldrons were black except for the orange one worn by the ~~squad leader, Captain Mod Terrik~~ **squad’s captain**.  
512Through the lenses of his stormtrooper helmet, ~~Terrik~~ **the captain** looked from the open pod to the surrounding sand, searching for any signs of passengers. Because of winds and shifting sand, footprints didn’t last long on Tatooine, so he considered himself lucky when he spotted the tracks.  
513“Someone was in the pod,” ~~Terrik~~ **he** announced to the other stormtroopers. He raised a pair of macrobinoculars to his helmet’s lenses and scanned the desert, then added, “The tracks go off in this direction.”  
514Near ~~Captain Terrik~~ **the Captain**, ~~stormtrooper Davin Feltha~~ **a stormtrooper** bent down to lift a shiny metal disk from the sand. Holding it up for ~~Terrik’s~~ inspection, the stormtrooper said, "Look, sir - droids.”  
515 
516Word changes
517
518> “Who is she?” Luke said in awe. “She’s beautiful.”  
519C-3PO said, “I’m afraid I’m not quite sure, sir.” ~~In fact, both C-3PO and R2-D2 did recognize the hologram as Princess Leia Organa. But because Captain Antilles had commanded them to protect her identity and presence on board the Tantive IV, the protocol droid could not reveal her name.~~  
520
521Cut line.  
522
523> "Well, I wonder if he's related to Ben." ~~Luke hadn’t seen Ben in five seasons, since the time Luke and his friend Windy had ridden a dewback into the Jundland Wastes, a rocky region that consisted of a mesa and a canyon. The dewback had thrown them into a canyon and ran off. By nightfall, the boys were bruised and tired and lost. Then they’d heard a voice calling Luke’s name. Incredibly, it had been Ben. He’d somehow found them, then guided them back to the Lars homestead. I still don’t know how he knew we were lost, or how he knew my name. But if Ben hadn’t helped us …~~  
524“That wizard’s just a crazy old man,” Owen said.
525~~Luke knew his uncle didn’t like Ben, but had no idea why. The night that Ben had found Luke and Windy in the Jundland Wastes and brought them back to the moisture farm, Owen had become furious. Not at Luke, but at Ben. Owen had told Ben to get off the farm and never come back. I thought Uncle Owen would’ve been grateful to Ben for rescuing me. What does my uncle have against him?  
526Owen continued,~~ “Tomorrow I want you to take that Artoo unit into Anchorhead and have its memory erased. That’ll be the end of it. It belongs to us now.”

Biggs had returned to Tatooine to tell Luke~~ he’d graduated from the Academy and ~~received an assignment as first mate on a space freighter.

543R2-D2 rotated his dome to look at C-3PO, who was still shut down. R2-D2 would let C-3PO know that they could now speak freely about the princess in the presence of Luke and Ben.~~

549> The Death Star was, quite simply, the largest ~~starship~~ **space station** ever built. Shaped like an orb, it was 120 kilometers in diameter, the size of a Class IV moon. Its quadanium steel outer hull had two prominent features: an equatorial trench and - on its upper hemisphere - a concave superlaser focus lens. The trench contained ion engines, hyperdrives, and hangar bays; the superlaser had enough power to annihilate entire worlds.  
550~~In addition to its superlaser, the Death Star’s weaponry included more than 10,000 turbolaser batteries, 2,500 laser cannons, and 2,500 ion cannons. Its hangars contained 7,000 TIE fighters and more than 20,000 military and transport vessels. The crew, troops, and pilots made up a population of more than one million.~~

646> The lone Star Destroyer traveled silently across interstellar space with the precision of a massive dart. An Imperial-class warship, it measured 1,600 meters long from its aft ion engines to its sharp-tipped bow, and was equipped with enough firepower to reduce a civilization to ashes. Even without its sixty turbolaser batteries and equal number of ion cannons, the wedge-shaped starship looked like it was ready to cut through anything in its path. The ship's name was the Avenger; its commanding officer was Captain Needa.
647The Avenger arrived at its designated coordinates, then deployed its cargo of hyperdrive pods from a recessed launch bay. Each ~~3.4-meter-long~~ pod was programmed to travel thousands of light-years on a one-way trip to a specific destination, never to return to the Avenger or any other Imperial ship.
648Across the galaxy, other Star Destroyers carried out the same task, releasing hyperdrive pods into space.

According to an old navigational chart, Hoth’s inner five planets were lifeless; the outermost planet - also named Hoth - was covered entirely by snow and ice, and was orbited by three nameless moons. Because of the sixth planet’s thin atmosphere and close proximity to the asteroid field, it was also frequently battered by meteors.

698> “There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive.” Vader extended a black-gloved finger at Boba Fett and stressed, “No disintegrations.”  
699“As you wish,” Fett said, his voice a nasty rasp. He was already on retainer for Jabba the Hutt, the Tatooine-based gangster who’d placed a bounty on Han Solo. Jabba also wanted the Falcon’s captain alive, so Fett had no intention of killing him. If he did the job right, he would be rewarded by the Empire and the Hutt.  
700~~Boba Fett had another reason for wanting to capture Solo. Until recently, he’d had a perfect record for getting the job done. Any job, no matter how dirty or tough. But several weeks earlier, Fett had made a mistake: Another assignment had left him temporarily unable to follow a tip on Solo’s whereabouts, so he’d subcontracted Dengar, Bossk, and another bounty hunter named Skorr to search for Solo. The hunters not only found and captured Solo, but delivered him to the planet Ord Mantell, where Fett had arranged to meet them. But shortly after Boba Fett arrived on Ord Mantell, Skorr was dead - and Han Solo was gone.~~  
701~~Both Dengar and Bossk had failed enough bounty hunts to assure that neither would ever have a perfect record, but Boba Fett was different. He had his reputation to maintain.~~

707~~Slave I had long-range sensor scopes and an illegal masking-and-jamming system that made it virtually invisible on most scanners. The special technology had allowed Boba Fett to infiltrate the Imperial Fleet, locate the Millennium Falcon, and maneuver Slave I into the Avenger’s debris trail without alerting anyone to his presence. Fett was so confident in Slave I’s supreme stealth that he kept the escaping Falcon within visual range as he computed its trajectory.~~  
708Fett checked his computer readout: The Rebel ship was heading for the Bespin system. As the Falcon was traveling at sublight speed, the bounty hunter concluded there was something wrong with the ship’s hyperdrive. And because Slave I’s hyperdrive was fully operational, Fett knew he’d be able to reach Bespin before Solo.

727~~Boba Fett?! What’s that bounty hunter doing here? He saw Boba Fett’s helmet shift slightly,~~** A bounty hunter?

Maybe my vision had nothing to do with Darth Vader and the Emperor. Maybe it was all about ~~Boba Fett~~ capturing Han.  
728~~Fett~~ **The bounty hunter** was followed by a floating slab of metal that Luke couldnít make out. The floating slab was followed by two blue-uniformed Cloud City guards, who held the end of the slab and appeared to be guiding it through the hallway.

765While on Jabba's barge, the astromech droid had penetrated the Hutt's data system, and alerted the goons who'd remained in Jabba's palace that the Imperials were coming for them with death warrants. The Imperial ships could hardly ignore the flotilla of smuggler ships, corsair gunboats, and slave transports that lifted off from the Hutt's compound en masse; and in the battle that followed, they failed to notice the single X-wing starfighter and Corellian freighter that rose away from Tatooine by a more discreet route.~~

771>  The planet Sullust was a volcanic world in the Outer Rim Territories. It had a highly toxic atmosphere, but beneath its rocky surface lived millions of humanoid Sullustans. They had jowled faces with wide, black-orbed eyes and large ears, and their technologically advanced subterranean cities were highly regarded for their beauty.~~ Sullust was also home to SoroSuub, a prominent corporation that manufactured starships, weapons, and droids. Because an influential SoroSuub executive remained grateful to the Alliance for rescuing him from Imperial captivity, the Rebel fleet had been allowed to rendezvous in the Sullust system.~~
772**The Sullustans had allowed the rebel fleet to rendezvous in their system.**
773~~The vast Rebel fleet~~ **It** included several small Corellian battleships, **Dornean gunships**, many single-pilot starfighters, a few Gallofree Yards Medium transports, and a Nebulon-B frigate that had been converted for medical duty. The blimp-shaped Mon Calamari Star Cruisers were the largest and most unusual-looking ships, their fluid exteriors covered by bulging protuberances that gave the vessels an organic quality, as if they'd been grown, not built.
774One of the Mon Cal cruisers, the 1,200-metre-long Home One, had been originally designed as a peaceful exploration ship; refitted with recessed weapons batteries and shield generators, it was now the personal flagship for Admiral Ackbar.

891The novelization of Rogue One includes eight supplemental data entries that expand upon the story. These entries act as documents, 'emails', archived writings, or memoirs written by the characters within the Star Wars universe. 
892
893###Disclaimer
894
895According to Pablo Hidalgo, novelizations/adaptations within the Star Wars continuity are canon **until proven otherwise**. This means they remain canon until another piece of Star Wars media 'contradicts' it, in which case the element becomes **non-canon**. If you read anything within these eight data entries that are contradicted by any future Star Wars media, please make a post and let us know, alongside proof that it's been contradicted.

912      Jedha, et al."), timestamped approximately thirteen 
913      years after the conscription of Galen Erso by Orson 
914      Krennic; from the personal files of Mon Mothma.]
915
916
917    There is no hard evidence of an interplanetary engineering
918
919project consuming Imperial resources (living, financial, and 
920
921material) on a massive scale. That remains the bottom line, as 
922
923it has since our investigation began.
924  
925    Yet as before, we consider this statement insufficient and
926
927our situation grave.
928
929    Major tactical deployments of Imperial forces to 
930
931strategically insignificant worlds continue on Jedha, Patriim, 
932
933Eadu, Horuz, and twelve others of note. Frequent
934
935communications blackouts make analysis of these
936
937deployments exceedingly difficult, and we strongly suspect
938
939our list is neither accurate nor complete. Nevertheless, we
940
941know that a majority of the worlds in question contain facilities
942
943for resource harvesting, manufacturing, or scientific research
944
945and development. More recently, we have learned that several
946
947of these worlds share a set of nonstandard security protocols
948
949far exceeding the Imperial norm.
950
951    We have intercepted multiple communiqués sent to Orson
952
953Krennic, the Empire's advanced weapons research director, 
954
955from these worlds. We are not yet able to decrypt them.
956
957    We have intercepted multiple communiqués sent to one
958
959"Galen Erso" from these worlds. We are not yet able to decrypt
960
961them or confirm that the "Galen Erso" referenced is the former
962
963head of multiple high-energy research projects (including
964
965"Celestial Power"-see notes) once housed on Coruscant.
966
967    We have intercepted multiple communiqués referencing a
968
969future weapons test of indeterminate scale.
970
971    Our attempts to surveil Imperial activities related to this
972
973matter have resulted in the loss of several operatives. We
974
975request additional personnel. Attempts to obtain the
976
977cooperation of Saw Gerrera on Jedha have been ended at the
978
979recommendation of General Jan Dodonna.
980
981    We understand that our concerns are considered
982
983controversial inside Alliance council leadership. We do not
984
985dispute that intelligence resources should be focused on the
986
987Senate if there is to be any hope of a peaceful political
988
989resolution to the larger struggle. Several analysts
990
991have declined to attach their names to this document for fear of
992
993giving it "undue credibility."
994
995    But this is not a conspiracy theory, and ignorance will not
996
997protect us from whatever the Galactic Empire is building.

1021
1022
1023To Director Krennic:
1024
1025    I find these communiqués distasteful, but since you
1026
1027evidently require written reminders of your duty I will oblige. It
1028
1029is incumbent upon everyone involved in the construction of the
1030
1031battle station (of clearance level DS/30 and above) to share a
1032
1033unified vision for the technologies involved and, in turn, our
1034
1035doctrine of use.
1036
1037    The time for painstaking compartmentalization of
1038
1039development cells is past. Lying to your engineering teams
1040
1041about our ultimate goal let you recruit energy researchers and
1042
1043materials experts more interested in revitalizing Coruscanti
1044
1045infrastructure than in building a weapon; for this, I give you
1046
1047credit. But we *are* building a weapon, one with a *specific*
1048
1049purpose that must not be compromised.
1050
1051    Quite simply, it's time to stop playing games.
1052
1053    A project of this scope has never before been attempted. I
1054
1055do not care what motivates your engineers, but it is imperative
1056
1057that they comprehend our priorities. In a battle station with
1058
1059eight billion component parts, even a handful of poor
1060
1061decisions could compromise our ultimate effectiveness.
1062
1063    Shall I eleborate? I shouldn't have to, but to wit:
1064
1065    The battle station is not a military force unto itself. It is part
1066
1067of a system, and individual elements must be manufactured to
1068
1069Imperial standard. If there are *incompatibilities* with the Star
1070
1071Destroyer fleet, these must be remedied. 
1072
1073    The battle station is not a testbed for new technologies. 
1074
1075Promising your people opportunities for innovation was a
1076
1077mistake. Update only where necessary, and if we must add a
1078
1079hundred reliable, proven reactors instead of developing a
1080
1081single new one, so be it.
1082
1083    The battle station is certainly not *symbolic,* meant only to 
1084
1085demonstrate the Empire's might in ceremonial planetary
1086
1087executions. The main weapon must be built to fire repeatedly
1088
1089within a short span, as it might during the course of a single
1090
1091fleet battle. Both the mechanisms and the control scheme
1092
1093*must support this practice.*
1094
1095    We are building a weapon not to prevent war, but to end
1096
1097one. Time and again we have seen the galaxy dissolve into
1098
1099instability and chaos, and the rise of the rebel terrorist
1100
1101movement is only the latest iteration of a cycle. The rebels
1102
1103have no chance of overthrowing us, but they threaten our order
1104
1105nonetheless. 
1106
1107    The Death Star will not put an end to treason. Yet never
1108
1109again will a conflict consume our galaxy as did the Clone
1110
1111Wars. When an enemy rises, we will strike with decapitating
1112
1113vehemence. If one strike does not suffice, we will repeat the
1114
1115process and burn planets until either our enemy is annihilated
1116
1117or the galaxy is so terrified that further resistance is
1118
1119unthinkable.
1120
1121    The new peace will last until the cycle begins again. At
1122
1123which point the battle station will be redeployed. The
1124
1125interruption of stability will be brief and *illuminating.*
1126
1127    Are we of like minds now, Director? The Death Star
1128
1129is the ultimate weapon of war. It serves no other purpose. It is not a 
1130
1131monument to your workers' scientific prowess or the
1132
1133cornerstone of a new navy designed to your personal ideal.
1134
1135*Crude but functional* is an acceptable watchword. 
1136
1137    See to your staff immediately.

1145
1146
1147
1148Respectfully, Governor, I request clarity.
1149
1150    My understanding is that the battle station project was
1151
1152initiated at a level above either of us. I know you have the ear
1153
1154of the Emperor; can you confirm that the vision you've
1155
1156elaborated comes directly from him?
1157
1158    I would hate to see anything spawned from his mind
1159
1160described as *crude but functional.* Indeed, I endeavor to
1161
1162exceed his expectations.

1177    [Document #DN4624 ("Faith and the Force of Others"),
1178    fragment excerpted from the archives of the Order of
1179    the Esoteric Pulsar; author unknown.]
1180
1181
1182
1183
1184    What is the Force of Others? To ask this, you must ask one 
1185
1186question and a thousand.
1187
1188    To a cultist of the Huiyui-Tni, you must ask, "What is the
1189
1190exhalation of a true, amphibious god?" To a Jedi, you must
1191
1192ask, "What is it that binds and defines all life?" To a child of the
1193
1194Esoteric Pulsar, you must ask, "Show me the secret pages of
1195
1196the Book of Stars." To a faithless man, you must ask, "What
1197
1198power enables prophecy and sorcery in a world controlled by
1199
1200logic and law?"
1201
1202    These thousand questions will garner a thousand answers,
1203
1204all pointing toward the same truth.
1205
1206    Now ask, "*Where* is the Force of Others?" and one answer
1207
1208becomes inevitable: the kind and cold moon of Jedha. For a
1209
1210thousand faiths see truth in Jedha's mysteries, no matter that
1211
1212their stories differ; no matter that not one history of the Temple
1213
1214of the Kyber can explain each brick in its foundation, or that
1215
1216our legends entwine and part in paradox.
1217
1218    I ask you to believe that Jedha is a nexus for faith, life, and
1219
1220the Force of Others in all their forms. If the Force can be
1221
1222embodied in a vision or a living creature, why not a place? Or
1223
1224why not an *idea*? Why can *pilgrimage* not be Jedha, and Jedha
1225
1226not *be* the Force?
1227
1228    I ask you to believe this not because it is *true,* but because it
1229
1230is a beginning.
1231
1232    Imagine these things and you must conclude that every visit
1233
1234to Jedha is a pilgrimage–that every visit to Jedha is an
1235
1236expression of faith and a search for truth, intended or not.
1237
1238When a thief comes to Jedha to prey upon the vendors in the
1239
1240markets, she does so in accordance with her nature; she will
1241
1242trick and lie and steal, and if she does *not* trick or lie or steal
1243
1244then her faith and nature are altogether different.
1245
1246    You say, "Why a thief? Why such a cynical conjecture?" TO
1247
1248which I say, "Do you not wonder why the Guardians of the 
1249
1250Whills protect their temple so? Why the Jedi carry their cruel
1251
1252swords of light, even here?" It is because our pilgrimages *are*
1253
1254in accordance with our faiths, and faith can bring terrible
1255
1256conflict. A thief is but the kindest example I can offer.
1257
1258    Jedha does not give answers to those who do not know
1259
1260what answers they seek. Jedha does not bring into harmony
1261
1262those things that cannot harmonize. Jedha does not express
1263
1264faith and the Force through its pilgrims; pilgrims express faith
1265
1266and the Force through Jedha.
1267
1268    Pilgrims express faith and the Force through life.
1269
1270    For what is life but pilgrimage? And what is life but conflict?
1271
1272    There have been worlds and tyrants who have tried to
1273
1274prevent their people from journeying to Jedha. But such a
1275
1276thing cannot be stopped. Living beings will always find their
1277
1278way to the kind and cold moon, as they always have. Through
1279
1280the Force and Jedha, they will act as they must, for good and
1281
1282ill.
1283
1284    And we will know them by their actions there.

1344    Some brief background: My contact refuses to aid the Alliance
1345
1346directly but she's kept in touch with me since my departure
1347
1348from the Senate. If she can be won over, she could be
1349
1350important to our political strategy. I don't think she's serving
1351
1352Imperial military interests.
1353
1354    I have not shared anything about the planet killer with her. If
1355
1356we can't confirm her data, however, I'd like to judiciously
1357
1358broach the subject. It may serve us in both the short and long
1359

1461
1462Tarkin's directive) but sloppy work is sloppy work.

1476    Director Krennic is copied on all SSCRs, but if he wants

1487
1488
1489
1490Vodran:
1491
1492    I alerted the director personally, at your suggestion.
1493
1494    I also spoke to my team and we identified the problem. The
1495
1496reactor core modifications are resulting in radiation buildup,
1497
1498which in turn has the potential of interfering with the
1499
1500hypermatter annihilator.
1501
1502    The buildup is caused by the inner shield actively reflecting
1503
1504excess particles and metaphorically "cooking" the reactor
1505
1506core. Had the shielding team's research not been so heavily
1507
1508compartmentalized this might have been avoided.
1509
1510    Nonetheless:
1511
1512    The reactor core modifications must remain as is.
1513
1514Therefore, we are left with three possible ways of avoiding
1515
1516radiation buildup.
1517
1518    Option one: construction of a particle funnel and recycler.
1519
1520This is known and tested technology. I am confident it will
1521
1522function. Physical requirements mean the recycler would need
1523
1524to replace existing noncritical mechanisms under the northern
1525
1526command sector, but I estimate the needed disassembly
1527
1528would take under two weeks.
1529
1530    Option two: further refinement of our reactor technology to
1531
1532reduce waste particles. I have several team members keen on
1533
1534this possibility. They are excited about the potential for a 
1535
1536technological breakthrough.
1537
1538    Option three: construction of manual venting shafts and
1539
1540thermal exhaust ports. This should reduce particle buildup to
1541
1542within tolerances but not to a degree I find personally
1543
1544acceptable. In addition, adding venting shafts risks additional
1545
1546incompatibilities with noncritical systems.
1547
1548    Please alert me if you have concerns.

1561
1562funnel and recycler can't go anywhere else, stick with options
1563
1564two and three.
1565

1635

1637
1638her focus on a particular task. I, along with my team, have
1639
1640fallen victim to the sin of hubris.
1641
1642    Of course I should have warned you that your droids might
1643
1644register dangers. The venting shafts are designed to expel the
1645
1646*majority* of the heat and particle buildup, but some radiation
1647
1648leakage is inevitable. We estimate that human crewmembers
1649
1650stationed in any of fifteen sections would–in the event that the
1651
1652battle station fires the primary weapon three times within one
1653
1654hour–be placed at increased risk for a wide variety of long-
1655
1656term health problems. The SSCR, of course, detected this in
1657
1658those "two hundred redlines."
1659
1660    I am instructing my team to look into all options. To
1661
1662expedite matters, I must request the use of your droids in
1663
1664running several alternative scenarios.
1665

1755    the Rebel Alliance Navy"), from the personal files of
1756    Mon Mothma.]
1757
1758
1759
1760    The Clone Wars redefined interstellar conflict, forcing us to
1761
1762grapple with realities we'd blessedly forgotten after
1763
1764generations of peace. This was, perhaps, the very worst of the
1765
1766wars' crimes–they ushered in an age when mass bloodshed
1767
1768was no longer unthinkable, but rather an essential feature of
1769
1770military action.
1771
1772    I've argued that our rebel movement is not a response to the
1773
1774political question of the Clone Wars, and I continue to believe
1775
1776this; nonetheless, no one can claim that our military doctrine is
1777
1778not largely defined by the desire and need to *do things*
1779
1780*differently.* What worked in the Clone Wars cannot work again:
1781
1782The partnership of Jedi Knights and Kaminoan clone armies
1783
1784constituted a peerless weapon that no longer exists.
1785
1786    Consider a brigade of clone troopers served by a Jedi
1787
1788commander: Such a unit might penetrate a world's orbital
1789
1790defenses and seize control of the entire planet while taking
1791
1792(and inflicting!) minimal casualties. I do not mean to
1793
1794understate the role of naval warfare during the last conflict,
1795
1796nor to denigrate the sacrifices of starship pilots and crew who
1797
1798were lost, but what blockade could be thorough enough to
1799
1800keep out a handful of determined starfighters and a single
1801
1802clone drop ship? (Yes, such blockades existed, and in greater
1803
1804numbers toward the conflict's end, but their cost helped to
1805
1806fracture and bankrupt the nascent Separatist government.)
1807
1808    With the Clone Wars' end, the destruction of the Jedi Order,
1809
1810and the decommissioning of the Kaminoan cloning facilities,
1811
1812the self-proclaimed Emperor and his military advisers
1813
1814determined that the future of warfare was in large-scale naval
1815
1816weaponry–in a fleet of battleships and battle stations that
1817
1818could atomize any enemy, whether on a planet's surface or
1819
1820among the stars. They rebuilt a military not for precision
1821
1822strikes but for hammerblows; a military that could counter the
1823
1824interstellar movement of any mobile infantry that an uprising
1825
1826might field.
1827
1828    This was the vile genius of Emperor Palpatine's plan. He
1829
1830knew a rebellion like ours would have no difficulty assembling
1831
1832a vast army of ground troops from thousands of oppressed
1833
1834worlds. But his stormtroopers could curtail a local uprising's
1835
1836growth on any single world, and his fleets could decimate
1837
1838spaceborne troops during any attempted landing. No potential
1839
1840rebellion could dare eschew infantry altogether, but–lacking
1841
1842the elite support of Jedi or clones–the cost in lives would be
1843
1844abominable (see, for example, the affair of the Sixty-First
1845
1846Mobile Infantry at Ferrok Pax).
1847
1848    Thus, the importance of the rebel navy.
1849
1850    While the Empire constructed its behemoth Star Destroyers
1851
1852and its TIE fighter swarms, another fleet was forming in less
1853
1854mechanistic fashion. In the early years of what would become
1855
1856our Rebellion, there was little coordination among insurgent
1857
1858cells–yet each, on its own, understood the need to obtain
1859
1860starships for military strikes and transport. A retooled freighter
1861
1862here, augmented with illegal weapons salvaged from
1863
1864Separatist wrecks; a pirate corvette there, donated by a 
1865
1866sympathetic underworld contact; a handful of starfighters,
1867
1868stolen in a daring raid on an Imperial base.
1869
1870    As insurgent factions in different sectors began to
1871
1872coordinate and share resources, new challenges arose. One 
1873
1874TIE fighter is little different from another–its mechanisms and
1875
1876its pilots can be swapped with ease when repairs or injuries
1877
1878warrant. Not so with the variety of ships flying for the rebel
1879
1880cause. Staffing and maintaining a patchwork fleet is a task
1881
1882that under less expert leadership (I do not include myself!)
1883
1884would have, *should* have been impossible.
1885
1886    Rebel captains proposed a threefold solution to our
1887
1888challenge. First, an underground pipeline was to be
1889
1890established through which both smugglers and legitimate
1891
1892merchants would obtain and distribute badly needed starship
1893
1894parts. This distribution network would need to rival those of
1895
1896some of the Republic's larger corporations to operate
1897
1898effectively. The assistance of former Separatist advisers
1899
1900would ultimately prove invaluable.
1901
1902    Second, pilots would be encouraged to coordinate and learn
1903
1904from one another and to train on as many types of ships and
1905
1906simulators as possible. This would not only allow skilled pilots
1907
1908to be placed on new vessels should their personal spacecraft
1909
1910be destroyed, but also prove vital for multiship engagements.
1911
1912As Admiral Raddus puts it, "No one wants to fly in formation
1913
1914with a stranger."
1915
1916    Third, rebel leadership would expend whatever resources
1917
1918were required to obtain additional starfighter squadrons.
1919
1920These efforts would cost credits and lives, and the details
1921
1922must remain confidential for now. Nonetheless, our access to
1923
1924X-wing fighters in particular is testament to our success.
1925
1926    As our Rebellion gained visibility, new opportunities arose
1927
1928as well. The arrival of the Mon Calamari city-ships was a 
1929
1930shocking (and perhaps, given our limited effectiveness against
1931
1932the occupation of Mon Cala, undeserved) boon, emphasizing
1933
1934the significance of winning the hearts of the galaxy's civilians
1935
1936above all else.
1937
1938    Over time, leaders like Raddus and General Merrick
1939
1940performed a startling feat, transforming what might have
1941
1942amounted to a pirate armada into a genuine fighting force.
1943
1944We've long since known that our pilots, crews, and
1945
1946commanders can easily match the skill and bravery of their
1947
1948Imperial counterparts; what remains to be tested is whether
1949
1950our vessels can engage in a full-scale battle and triumph
1951
1952against a technologically superior opponent.
1953
1954    My hope is that such a test is never needed. But if the day
1955
1956does come, I believe we will emerge victorious.

2007unified nation–would be both redundant *and* insulting.
2008
2009    So put no stock in my words. I can tell you of those two
2010
2011meetings and what I saw in her–or what, looking back, I
2012
2013*remember* seeing in her, which may be far removed from the
2014
2015truth. You may find more of a weary ex-senator than Jyn Erso
2016
2017in all of this.
2018
2019    Jyn was in chains when we met before Operation Fracture.
2020
2021I'd seen her file and chosen her for the mission for reasons I
2022
2023wish I could be proud of. I expected to meet a troubled girl who
2024
2025had been failed by the Alliance in a hundred different ways:
2026
2027failed by Saw, failed by those of us who *knew* Saw, failed when
2028
2029she went out on her own, and failed by our inability to save her
2030
2031father or mother. I expected she could be persuaded (by which
2032
2033I suppose I meant *manipulated*) into helping us, and that in
2034
2035doing so we might help her, too.
2036
2037    But the woman I met at Base One could not be manipulated.
2038
2039There are a very few people whose will and ferocity are so
2040
2041great that they pull other people in their wake. I've known
2042
2043some who cultivated that talent as politicians and generals, for
2044
2045good or ill. Jyn, I think, never knew the effect she had on others
2046
2047–never realized the intensity of her own humanity or the
2048
2049presence she brought to a room. She was, as expected,
2050
2051troubled and quarrelsome; she was also impossible to ignore
2052
2053or forget.
2054
2055    In her short life, she had seen relentless hardship and
2056
2057became hard herself. But her fire shone bright.
2058
2059    If our first meeting was brief, our second was even briefer.
2060
2061We exchanged a handful of private words when she briefed
2062
2063Alliance High Command on the threat of the Death Star, and
2064
2065the woman I met then was far different from the one we'd
2066
2067chained. Was she at peace? I don't believe so. But she held
2068
2069herself with a newfound certainty.
2070
2071    It's become fashionable in some quarters to claim Jyn Erso
2072
2073went to Scarif intending to die a martyr–that she realized she
2074
2075had lost everything and chose her path by its inevitable end. I
2076
2077will dispute this claim until my own dying days. I think Jyn fully
2078
2079recognized who she was and sought a way to channel her best
2080
2081and worst impulses, her darkest moments and her brightest,
2082
2083toward a cause worthy of her true incandescence.
2084
2085    In a kinder universe, she would have walked away from
2086
2087Scarif. I cannot imagine who she would have become, but I
2088
2089think she would have been extraordinary.
2090
2091    I am grateful I knew her, no matter how short the time.

2417## Interesting Timeline Tidbits:    
2418### (This book uses "ASW4" instead of "ABY", but they're still the same)    
2419
24201. Even though it's labeled "Unclear Date", Ben Solo begins Jedi training with Luke is placed at 21 ABY
24212. Like before, this fact is labeled "Unclear Date", but is placed on 29-30 ABY: Ben Solo turns to the Dark Side and kills Luke's Jedi students. After, he takes the name Kylo Ren - Luke goes into exile
24223. The period of "1,000 years BBY" is referred to as when the Old Republic turned into the Galactic Republic.
24234. Ahsoka started training at 3, and was accepted as a padawan at 14.
2424
2425## Blaster Bolt Colors in Star Wars change based on the gas used:
2426
2427
2428
2429Color | User(s) | Meaning
2430---|---|----
2431Red | Stormtroopers, Rebels, Droids, X-Wings | The most common blaster color because it's made from cheaper gas
2432Green | Imperial starfighters, Naboo Royal Guards | Made from a higher quality gas, which makes it more expensive
2433Blue | Clone Troopers | Ion-based energy charges that are more effective against droids and machines
2434Orange | Sabine Wren and Luke's Jedi training remote | Non-fatal, low power, used in training situations
2435Yellow | Death Watch | Unknown
2436Purple | Geonosian Nantex-Class Territorial Defense Starfighters | Unknown
2437
2438
2439## Kyber Crystal Information
2440
2441*The color of a Jedi's lightsaber is based on its kyber crystal. The crystals themselves are Force-Sensitive, colorless, and lead Jedi to find them. When the crystals are attuned to a Jedi they glow (typically blue or green). The only way someone from the Dark Side could use a kyber crystal is to dominate it–causing it to "bleed" red. Which is why all Sith lightsabers are red. It is possible to "heal" the crystals–a process that turns them white. (See Ahsoka Tano).*
2442
2443## Jedi Order Tidbits
2444
2445### There are actually 4 Jedi Councils:

2601
2602### Resistance
2603
2604- The Resistance is so understaffed that D'Qar base personnel ended up working more than one job with the fleet (medics work as mechanics, etc.).
2605
2606- Ackbar, despite his previous clashes with Raddus, petitioned for the *Raddus* to carry his namesake.
2607
2608- Resistance protocol dictates that all assets (personnel, droids, armory, etc) should never be amassed to a single target.
2609
2610### First Order
2611
2612- Hux commands the *Finalizer,* but when it flies in formation with Snoke's *Supremacy,* he transfers over to the latter and leaves the *Finalizer* to Captain Peavy.
2613
2614- Hux's direct access to Snoke allows him the rank of "Grand Marshal", but Snoke refuses to grant him the rank.
2615
2616- First Order crews spend most of their time aboard a single vessel, due to developing intense loyalty.
2617
2618- The Resistance estimates there are about 30 Star Destroyers engaged in the pursuit of its fleet.
2619
2620- The droids of the First Order take on cold personalities, due to the First Order treating them as machines.
2621
2622### Snoke
2623
2624### Luke Skywalker
2625
2626### Rey
2627
2628### Kylo Ren
2629
2630- Kylo Ren left the charred helmet of Darth Vader on the *Finalizer* and didn't bring it with him onboard the *Supremacy.* The book suggests that it's because he's "not ready to face that visage until he recovers from his failures."
2631
2632- Kylo has long been under the influence of Snoke. However, Kylo plans his own path to regain the power and status he desires after losing his fight to Rey. He cannot deny the Force bond they share.
