The mention of gems in the Yavin gas giant isn’t necessarily Death Star Kyber crystals. Legends books mentioned Corusca gems created by the huge pressures in Yavin that were also mined.
Yup. Lando Calrissian helps the young Jedi Knights snatch several corusca jems from the depths of the gas giant Yavin Prime as a part of his new mining business.
I used to be a fan of Legends and someone who'd say this was once the underlying resource for Star Wars lore. But since Disney began to rewrite, ngl it's been a much more engrossing follow along. Especially with this specific story dealing with one of the perceived plot holes of Poe Dameron once being a spice runner.
I have to honest; being someone who used to religiously play The Gungan Frontier, I kinda geeked out at the chak root mention. Also, I have a feeling the author's played a lot of the old games to get these references, even Lethal Alliance XD
The hammerhead cruiser, and centurion-class battle cruiser, feel like mistakes to me, it’s well known that source books consistently mistake the hammerhead head corvette for the old republic counterpart sometime even listing it as the twice as long cruiser size. It was even given a more specific name Sphyrna-Class Corvette to attempt to stop the confusion. I fear that the only reason the centurion is their is because the author also got confused and assumed that old republic ships got moved up the timeline.
What I love about the novel is that there are so many aliens! If you watch on wookieepedia you know what I mean! If you compare the amount of aliens there and the amount of aliens in other novels you see It!
An XS-Stock Freighter?!?!? By the time Poe is 16 those ships would be ancient! Even in canon its described as well over a century old by the GCW and if we go by legends, It's over a 3000 years old! Damn! Feels like a lot of TOR references are in this book. That's really cool actually. I feel like TOR doesn't get enough Love, even back when it was Canon.
Is this a normal amount of deep cut legends things to become canonized in a new book? Or does it seem like they're drawing more from legends than maybe previous works?
Babu Frick reminds of the pilot in “Solo”, who was killed during the train heist sequence. Different species, I know. Or, is Babu Frick a midget of the same species?
General, yeah, that’s the guy. Could not think of his name off the top of my head. They not only look alike, but the names of the two species are similar, too.
Ah, yes, uglies. I was always amused whenever anyone in Legends was stupid enough to build and/or fly a "DIE-Wing," that being a Y-Wing's engines attached to a TIE cockpit so that you get no shields, secondary weapons, or hyperdrive and only the speed and maneuverability of an Y-Wing.
At this point in time with this fan fiction crap trilogy, do we even care about these shitty characters in now head canon non canon Star Wars ruining everything Star Wars stands for? No. No we don’t. This book does not matter.

I assumed this was a "Jedi Academy" deep cut too.
First thing I thought of as well
Wow. That is a deep cut. Nice catch!
Por que no los dos?

Man, a lot of Old Republic stuff in this one
I KNOW! I love it

"My new tiny overlord". Same Alex. Same
It’s really comforting to see so much legends stuff being re introduced to the canon.

*Hello there, Fun Fact! This channel is very highly entertaining! May the Force be with you, young Padawans and Jedi!*
Thank you Master Kenobi
Hello there Commander Cody! How goes the war, are we winning for the Republic?
Love the KOTOR references
00:20 Oscar Isaac would laugh at that illustration for sure. 0:37 That looks VERY convincing xD
0:37 is suppose to be Poes dad

Yeah, it's probably a mistake lol, because the cover has Sphyrna-class corvette not cruiser, they also get Thranta mixed up with Hammerhead constantly
It si cool some Star Wars galaxies stuff has made it into canon!
Oh baby yes, the Centurion-class is back!
To the person reading this - you're awesome, you're loved, you can do this, have a great day
Zori at one point says that criminals are 'a cowardly and superstitious lot.' If that's not a Batman reference, I'm a Duros.
Yay! Easter egg video

Those Galaxies easter eggs are giving me some serious nostalgia. Time to reinstall SWGEMU I guess.

The gems could be corusca gems, which were mentioned in the old Expanded Universe. In Shadow Academy, Jacen and Jaina go with Lando to collect some.
So they made hammerhead cruiser canon again. This pleases me.

I think it's normal, every book had some EU references

Interesting video
Man, these are some deep cuts.
Nice Video :)
what happened to Poe's dad, Kes Dameron after the book?!
Same question like mine.
His fate is still unknown to this day
Hello there

Someone say....Babu Frik
“Karen was a smuggler”
"Can I speak to the manager of this space station?"
@@Radical__ Do not be fooled. That's how she distracts the manager whilst her Crewmates plunder the station
Hammerhead Cruiser, Centurion Battlecruiser?
Loving the KotOR callbacks
HEY HEEEEEYYYYY

Nobody feels that after ep 9 is losing interest for this kind of stories?
