People have been drawing distinctions between pure ANH, Legends,, and Disney Canon, so it's sort of a shifting point in the discussions. Yes. The Grand Admirals were generally assigned a major independent fleet command, but a Grand Moff was both the civilian governor of an oversector *and* the...

All of that is EU. There's never any fleet with the Death Star at any point in ANH, save possibly the production-sketches showing the DS having a parasite complement that went all the way up to having several light cruisers on board. Grand Moffs exercised both military and civil authority over...

If you include EU, yes. If taking the original movie as a standalone, no -- Vader just orders "get the crews to their fighters" with no specification that this is an elite unit, then tells two TIE Pilots to "come with me". ---- Surface turbolasers shoot down one X-Wing, although the EU...

IIRC, Tarkin's title of "Grand Moff" is itself entirely expanded lore -- the only title he's addressed by in the actual film is when Leia calls him "Governor Tarkin", which matches his own statement that "The regional governors will now have direct control over their territories." The Legends...

There's never been any place for military competence in Star Wars. "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!" If Tarkin had authorized even a single additional squadron of TIE Fighters to launch alongside Vader's personal fighters, the movie would have been...

The Witches of Dathomir were first mentioned in the early 1994 novel Jedi Search and then actually seen in the mid 1994 Courtship of Princess Leia. This makes them some of the very oldest and most established EU material, second primarily to the 1991-1993 Thrawn trilogy. Edit: One very...

Honestly: the big reason for it is that's Diana Inosanto. She's not just a "do my own stunts" Hollywood actress, she's pretty much the most serious martial artist involved in movies in our generation. As in, she's Bruce Lee's goddaughter, and she was trained by her father who was one of Lee's...

I think Ahsoka training Sabine is part of showing that Ahsoka is still seriously estranged from the Jedi Order. If she was following the Jedi way, she would have joined Luke and/or taken Jacen as her Padawan; instead, she has little-to-no contact with Luke and is going out of her way to train...

Yeah. That's why her adult montrals were shortened in Mando versus Rebels. They're somewwhat longer in Ahsoka, and there's some behind the scenes info about them having (presumably flexile) 3D-printed plastic frameworks on the inside instead of being solid foam like before. At the end of the...

1. Totally agree. In my opinion, Ahsoka has the best combat choreography we've ever seen in Star Wars, fusing the best elements of the "slow" saber work seen in the OTL (heavily based on RL kenjutsu, strong emphasis on maneuvering in guard positions before and after actual saber clashing) and...

That's what has me facepalming. Many fans were super mad that Disney didn't cast Ahsoka's voice actress, even though Ashley has very little experience at live action acting. When they do cast Thrawn's long time voice actor for the live role because he's well-established to be a superb...
