I realize I haven’t made any new posts in quite some time and thought I’d start with a new thread for open discussion. I personally find it rather interesting how many people debate who is the father of Anakin Skywalker (if you believe he even has a father). I personally have my own side of this argument and see it as a rather obvious answer with plenty of legit reasoning, although most people would say the same even with a different hypothesis. So….who do you believe the real father (if any) of Anakin is, AND what are your facts to support your candidate?

Paploo: arrogant, boastful, brave, mischievous horn playing Ewok. Paploo was the nephew of Chief Chirpa. In his younger years he stayed in trouble with Teebo, Latara and his cousin Kneesaa. They often played the game, “Drop the Sack,” which later proved a handy skill. He protected the Soul Trees from a forest fire and helped rescue Latara from the Duloks. Later in his mischievous life, during the Battle of Endor, he stole one of the Guards speeder bikes. This created a great diversion and the Rebel forces had the opportunity to attack.

Least Boba could do after Dengar saved his life 🙂

Alderaan is mentioned in Episode I, and seen in Episodes III and IV.
Alderaan was a peaceful planet, almost paradise. It was eventually obliterated by the Empire as a show of power against supporters of the rebellion. Alderaan was rich in culture, supported by Alderaan University. It was also well known for its rich food. The planet had wonderful meats, exotic herbs, flowers, and grains. There were no oceans, but there were thousands of lakes and calm waterways. The insect-species Killiks left behind some impressive cities: Crevasse city and Castle lands.
Alderaan took many refugees from the Clone Wars as well as the Separatist Conflict. In doing so they became a community of pacifists with all weapons banned. Alderaan’s government was very supportive of the rebellion, but before they could officially join the alliance the planet was obliterated by the Death Star. The remnants of Alderaan are an asteroid field called the Graveyard.
Alderaan was home to:
Princess Leia
Bail Organa
Tycho Celchu
Ulic Qel Droma
Fun Fact: Alderaan was mentioned in “Californication” by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
A slim Kowakian creature standing close to a meter high, resembling something close to a monkey and a reptile, held a position as Jabba the Hutt’s court jester. He was often found sitting close enough to the Hutt to be able to snatch up any scraps of food or beverage that Jabba would drop while eating to claim for himself. Salacious wasn’t always the court jester, however. He stumbled across the job when at an earlier date while hiding in Jabba the Hutt’s private living quarters scarfing down all of the crime lord’s food. Upon discovery, Jabba attempted to eat him. Crumb’s elusiveness amused Jabba to the point of giving him the role to make him laugh daily. This continued until he died beside Jabba the Hutt when Han Solo was rescued and Jabba’s sail barge was destroyed.

The first known race to govern the galaxy were the Rakata. They were an extremely superior race in terms of scientific advancements. It is also claimed that the Rakata were the first to exercise Hyperdrive and successfully integrate it within their fleets. Their origin was from their home planet Lehon, otherwise known as The Unknown World. The Rakatan reign was approx 35000 BBY and dominated what had become the Infinite Empire for just shy of 10000 years. This “Infinite Empire” consisted of nearly 500 known planets. The Rakata ruled with an iron fist and enslaved every race they came upon. The slaves were forced to construct monuments immortalizing the Rakata on numerous planets throughout the vast territory along with constructing the Star Forge. The fall of the Rakata, however was due to a plague that apparently only attacked their race. As their numbers began to weaken and the Rakata were dropping by the thousands, the prisoners began to rebel against their captors and went to war to claim the Star Forge for themselves. Once the war was won, the now freed races began to hunt down every remaining Rakata along with the intent to destroy every Rakatan structure with the intent to completely erase the once powerful presence from history all together. This was the first of very few recorded events that had happened within the early years of the galaxy.
