Today a new Chronicle was released, written on behalf of Texan, the “black brother” from the KotFE cinematic. Events begin immediately after Arcann was injured during the battle with Darth Atroxa.

Today I saw my face burning. The skin cracked and curled from the greedy, drying flame. The flesh charred from the heat and shrunk into a dense black mass. One blue eye - my eye - had me glued to the spot and would not let me look away. An instant - and the face became the face of a stranger. We were no longer twins.

The memory pulled my hand and placed it on my cheek. I shuddered at the soft sensation my fingertips felt. My brother's ghostly grip still squeezed my hand. I felt the bones under his skin, they were trying unsuccessfully to break free, to escape the pain. Arcann suffered for many hours before sleep took pity on him.

My bed was empty. The sheets on the mattress seemed thick and spotless. Although the bed was not luxurious, it seemed out of place now. The very sight of her was an insult, as the war raged outside. I grabbed the top cloth and rubbed it over my eyes, forehead and mouth, leaving sweat and sand stains on it. The sight of the dirty white cloth made me feel nauseous. I crumpled the linen and threw it back onto the mattress.

My quarters - a decorated tent - gave a false sense of security. The walls muffled the wind and the screams of the wounded, but I still knew that the battle was not over. Darth Aatrox will not give up so easily. Her troops are loyal to her and incredibly determined. But it doesn't matter, she can't win. Arcann won't allow it.

I heard the Knight's footsteps, then she knocked on the door.

Sign in.

Your Highness. - Upon entering, she knelt down and waited for someone to talk to her. Father invented these tiresome tricks.

I forcibly pulled a chair from the corner of the room and sat down.

How's my brother?

Prince Arcann's condition is stable. - Her face was hidden by the usual helmet of the Knight of Zakuul. The father regularly changed guards, trying to prevent attachment. The Knights of Zakuul were servants to us, but followers and subjects to him. He was a god for them, but we only represented his will.

He didn't wake up.

She paused.

No, my prince.

I didn't like her concern.

It was not a question. If he woke up, I would feel it.

I-- Y-yes, Your Highness. - Her gaze fell to the floor.

Knights were not difficult to play; their blind obedience to the Father made them easy targets. As children, Arcann and I swapped clothes and played guard tricks in every possible way. However, I have now grown out of it. I could feel the dirt under her armor. This Knight fought alongside us today, and for that she has earned my respect.
- Sorry. - I sighed. - I'm just tired. This is all?

The Immortal Emperor Valkorion, Isaacs' conqueror, demands an account. “The titles were said almost in a whisper, as if my father would have struck her down for pronouncing them too boldly.

I need to talk to him alone. Thank you. - I released her with a wave of my hand.

As you wish, my prince. - She answered and left the tent.

Listening to her retreating steps, I activated the holoterminal. The father's silhouette appeared in the tent. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back. I knelt down.

Report.

Report to me the situation on the planet, Texan.

My head involuntarily rose.

Your brother has made his choice. I ordered him to remain on Zakuul. He paid for his disobedience. “His icy voice literally chilled me to the bone.

This whole campaign is his achievement. - I insisted. - We had to conquer the central worlds together in your name.

He thinks too narrowly. Maybe, having lost an eye, he will start thinking. “There was neither warmth nor malice in his tone. - Now report.

My muscles tensed. I was glad Arcann hadn't woken up yet. After every conversation with his father, he lost patience. I tried to explain that these were just his thoughts, that Father was encouraging us to become stronger. But Arcann's anger was becoming increasingly difficult to contain.

I cleared my throat and obeyed.

Acceptable losses on our part. Darth Aatrox is still a threat, but I am confident that we can handle it. And when it falls, the hour of our victory will come.

Don't underestimate the Sith. - Father warned. - Although they are strange, they will do anything to survive. And, unlike the Jedi, they are not limited by lofty ideals and false morals.

Without waiting for my answer, he turned and ended the connection.

I sighed. Fatigue was taking its toll. Tomorrow there will be another battle.

My attention was drawn to my brother's presence. I hurried to the next tent. Three droids and a pair of healers stood above Arcann. I flinched at the piercing sound of the drill. As Arcann was being fitted with the durasteel mask, his good hand clenched the sheets into a fist.

Ready, Your Highness.

The brother continued to look at the ceiling. The mask covered more than half of his face and extended to the back of his head. There was nothing human in her design - Arcann himself had demanded that she look intimidating. Scorched skin protruded from the edges, a reminder of the destroyed face beneath.

Leave us. - I ordered. The droids and healers bowed and hurriedly left the tent.

Left alone, Arcann was able to relax. As he examined the cybernetic arm, his left brow furrowed in pain. As we assessed the day's losses, my stomach churned.
- A person can get everything he wants if he agrees to sacrifice everything he needs. - The father’s words seemed like poison on Arcann’s tongue. His synthesized voice sounded unusual and alien.

You've already lost enough. - I assured.

No, Texan. - His eye glared at mine. - This is just the beginning.

Time slowed down, although the world seemed to spin around us, and my brother - I felt him slipping away from me. On Zakuul we could communicate without words. We moved as one, with common thoughts and purpose. Now he has changed. I felt a growing rage in him. A rage I did not share.

I took him by the metal hand.

What are you willing to sacrifice?

Everyone. - Arcann answered without the slightest hesitation. - Wouldn't you do the same?

I will always fight for you, brother. - I promised. - We have common dreams.

Cold metal fingers squeezed my hand and instilled a glimmer of hope in me. They say time heals all wounds.

4. Does not make plans for the future, tries to get away from illusions.

5. Do not undertake anything new, do not indulge in dreams, be practical.

6. Either-or (check)

General value:

The Star is a card of hope, wisdom and understanding of the higher connections of all. It indicates that we are currently doing or planning things, the results of which will appear only in the very distant future, but that is why we may not be fully aware of what we are doing. Only in hindsight will it become clear to us what significant decisions we made then (today), under the sign of the Arcanum of the Star. And just as a seed needs time to germinate and become a plant, so the Star does not manifest its fruitful effect immediately. In the traditional Tarot, the Star was in most cases considered one of the three guardian angels who promised a favorable outcome to any planned business.

Job:

Here she shows that we are on the threshold of a completely new career. This can be either a natural continuation of our previous work or a transition to something completely new. However, any negotiations, projects, agreements and alliances that take shape during this period promise us good luck for a long time to come.

Consciousness:

The star shows that our future is in our hands. At the same time, a broad perspective opens up for us for the distant future, going very far beyond the framework of specific agreements and plans. It is as if we have ascended to the height of an eagle's flight, from where we can clearly see all the various obstacles that may arise on our way, and the means by which we will surely be able to overcome them, and the final goal, necessary and sufficient for us to admit to yourself that you are successful.

Personal relationships:

Some meetings take place, seemingly random, but extremely important, contacts are made that will have consequences for many years. Alliances concluded under the sign of this card have a long future.

In a love relationship

The star, despite its positivity, can be very insidious. A star is hope when a person expects good luck, but does nothing to change his life. In a sense, it is close to the Wheel of Fortune in terms of passively waiting for freebies and hoping for positive changes. This in itself is not bad, but it should be remembered that waiting implies the idea that nothing depends on us. In addition, the Star falling on one of the partners in a relationship scenario will indicate that no matter who he is with, he will always dream of something more. If the Star falls on one side of the Gebo layout, and the Jester or the Hanged Man on the other, then this will indicate that one of the partners will wait until the other matures and begins to live up to his ideals. A star next to the Priestess (Hanged Man, Moon) will indicate having your head in the clouds. These may well be people of art, possessing a rich and vivid imagination, but completely unsuited to life. You can live in a relationship with such people, but you should not expect them to be practical in business. However, despite some negative overtones of the previous story, Star does not spoil the relationship. You can live with her, just as you can live with a dreamer and idealist. At the same time, we can say that living with a Star person may not be easy, but in any case it is interesting. A star located on the side of the questioner will indicate his unrealistic expectations for his partner. In such a case, the nearby Tower promises bitter disappointments or, metaphorically speaking, an awakening from the sleep of illusions.

32 BBY - 19 BBY 44 BBY - 19 BBY

Galactic Republic(eng. Galactic Republic) - a fictional state of star systems with a republican form of government in the Star Wars franchise.

The Jedi Civil War, also known as the War for the Star Forge, pitted the Republic against the Sith Empire led by Darth Malak; many worlds were devastated by the Sith war fleet.

The situation escalated when the Hero of Tython killed the Sith Lord Tarnis, the son of Dark Council member Darth Angral, who attacked the Republic, and Lord Vivicar influenced the Jedi by sending a plague to them. The Second Great Galactic War has begun. Darth Angral, Vivikar, and Harron Tavus, commander of the former Destroyers, were defeated. At the end of the Second Great Galactic War, the Republic defeated the Sith Emperor, the Emperor's eldest son, hiding in the body of Sayo Bakarna, was declassified and expelled, the superweapon "Gauntlet" ceased to threaten the Republic. The Galactic Senate then sent its soldiers and Jedi to resolve the Makeba Crisis, and when the dark incarnation of Revan attacked both the Republic and the Empire, they were forced to form an alliance against Revan to counter the new threat. Revan was defeated, but the revived Vitiate was not pleased with the actions of his imperials and destroyed the planet Ziost, along with both his own and the Republicans who were there, and then retreated to the planet Zakuul to create a new body for himself there. However, he failed to do this because he was killed by the Unknown.

New Sith Wars

In 2000 BBY, the Republic once again faced the threat of attack by the Sith, who created a New Sith Empire greater than any that had come before. The most destructive conflict in Star Wars history, the New Sith Wars, lasted over 1,000 years; had an unstable nature until the Battle of Myzra in 1466 BBY, which became the greatest Sith victory of the entire war. The Republic's losses were so colossal that the battle led to widespread unrest and economic crisis, marking the beginning of a nearly 500-year Dark Age.

The Galactic Republic lost all of its territory in the Outer and Middle Rim except the Core Worlds, while the Sith Empire absorbed the rest of the Galaxy. The Galactic Senate transferred full power to the Jedi Council, and all infantry units of the Grand Army of the Republic were incorporated into the Jedi Army of Light.

After nearly five hundred years of continuous war, the Army of Light drove the Sith back to the planet Ruusan. They suffered their final defeat in 1000 BBY at the Seventh Battle of Ruusan, when Sith leader Sker Kaaan detonated a bomb that killed all the Sith (except Darth Bane) and many Jedi. After the battle, Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum was elected, who developed the Ruusan Reform, which subjected the Jedi to the Senate and disbanded the Grand Army of the Republic. Afterwards peace and prosperity came to the Republic. The Republic increasingly relied on the Jedi to maintain civilization, and full-scale military conflicts became a thing of the past.

Decline of the Republic

As the power of the Republic grew, many of the bureaucrats and senators who were part of the government became especially self-interested and complacent. The bureaucracy, which grew and spread over millennia, stifled any attempts at active management. Additionally, bought-in politicians and vested interests also prevented efficient operation, and due to the capitalistic nature of the Republic, corporations such as the Trade Federation and the Techno Union grew in power and even created armies of their own.

In 32 BBY, a member of the Galactic Senate from the planet Naboo, Palpatine, initiated the passage of a law on the taxation of free trade zones, which destroyed the Trade Federation's monopoly on trade with outlying worlds. After this, Palpatine, in the guise of Darth Sidious, entered into a conspiracy with the leadership of the Trade Federation, proposing to blockade the planet Naboo in response. The Naboo crisis orchestrated by Palpatine revealed the incompetence of the Senate and Supreme Chancellor Valorum. As a result of Palpatine's intrigues, the Senate announced a vote of no confidence in Valorum, who was also accused of corruption. Palpatine was elected as the new chancellor.

Clone Wars

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Republic, separatist forces emerged and strengthened in the form of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, led by the Dark Jedi Count Dooku. Darth Sidious used Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems to further fracture and weaken the Republic.

Faced with the threat of the collapse of the Republic, the Senate decided to entrust Chancellor Palpatine with emergency powers. With his first decree, Palpatine recreated the Grand Army of the Republic to armedly repel the separatists.

In the history of any major media franchise, sooner or later there comes a moment that changes everything. For Star Wars, it came when Disney decided to buy LucasArts. After a fateful deal, it was decided to restart the universe, making all the events and characters of the Expanded Universe non-canonical.

Star Wars Battlefront goes through all the key events of the classic trilogy, so there is no doubt about canonicity here, but today we will talk about what was left behind and what preceded (more precisely, could precede) the events of the game and the first films. The canonicity of the Star Wars Expanded Universe has been questioned, to say the least, but the universe exists, and it has been well represented in video games, with some characters making their first appearances in them. Let's remember the four most important of them.

Kyle Katarn

If you have heard about the game series Jedi Knight, then you probably know about Kyle. Our hero started out as an imperial stormtrooper. Then, due to certain circumstances, he went over to the side of the rebels, worked as a mercenary, discovered the Force in himself and, finally, joined the Jedi Order and became a good friend of Luke Skywalker. The hero first appeared in Star Wars: Dark Forces, but most players remember him in Jedi Outcast And Jedi Academy.

Kyle Katarn during his first appearance in Dark Forces and later in Jedi Outcast.

Katarn's track record is quite long: there is the fight against various cults such as the followers of Ragnos and the Dark Jedi of Jerec, and espionage against the Empire (it was Katarn who stole the plans for the first Death Star, which ended up with Princess Leia), and participation in the war with the Yuuzhan Vong , and many many others. In general, a worthy person. We hope he will appear in future projects. By the way, one of the main characters of the seventh episode, Finn, resembles Kyle: he is also a stormtrooper who went over to the enemy’s side and discovered the Force in himself.

Revan

It would be short-sighted to think that great figures in the world of Star Wars only existed during the times depicted in the films. Those wielding the Force reached the peak of their power just thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin IV - during the period of the Old Republic. Revan became one of the strongest and most influential Sith and Jedi of that time. Being a rebel Jedi, at one time he went against the will of the Council and participated in the Mandalorian War, which then ended quite quickly.

Some time later, under the pretext of pursuing the remaining forces of the Mandalorians, Revan, along with his best friend Malak, went beyond the borders. They returned a few years later, having already turned to the Dark Side, and immediately unleashed a large-scale war, establishing Sith domination over the galaxy.

Well, then the plot begins Knights of the Old Republic: betrayal, memory loss, miraculous return to the light, happy ending. However, after this, Revan begins to be tormented by memories, and he disappears again, going in search of a certain mysterious threat that played a role in his transition to the Dark Side. This threat turns out to be the Sith Empire (more on it later).

Darth Revan and Kylo Ren from episode seven. Find ten differences.

After being captured, Revan spends the next three hundred years in captivity, after which he is freed, participates in another war and is finally reunited with the Force. Revan's legacy cannot be overstated. The irony is that, having rejected the Dark Side and becoming a great Jedi, it was the Sith that he had the greatest influence on: almost three thousand years later, one adept of the Dark Side, named Darth Bane, found a holocron with Revan's recordings and was so impressed that he came up with " the rule of two" (teacher-student and constant struggle for power), which determined the development of the Sith for a millennium. The Jedi Order, in turn, remained deaf to Revan's teachings and continues to adhere to orthodox views.

Emperor Wisheit

As already mentioned, beyond the distant borders, Revan discovered the Sith Empire and went over to the Dark Side. But the conversion did not happen out of whim, but under the influence of a powerful and terrible entity - Emperor Vitiate, the last great ruler of the Sith before the time of Palpatine.

Its history begins a thousand years before the events Knights of the Old Republic. The future Sith Lord was born under the name Tenebry on an outlying planet. His mother was a simple woman, and his father was the Sith Lord Drameth. From childhood, the boy showed incredible sensitivity to the Force - and inhuman cruelty. Having killed his parents and subjugated his native village, the boy began to conquer the surrounding lands.

At the age of thirteen, Tenebry appeared before the head of the Sith Council, Marka Ragnos, who was amazed by his “exploits”, gave him the new name Vitiate and made him his student. In addition, Vitiate was appointed ruler of his home planet, which he renamed Nathema.

Well, then the Great Hyperspace War began between the Republic and the Sith Empire, ending in the defeat of the latter. Visheit immediately called the entire top lords to Nathema under the pretext of discussing further actions. They did not expect any trick from the ruler of the provincial planet and calmly appeared.

And in vain. Visheit, being much more powerful, suppressed the will of his opponents and destroyed them.

After that, he performed a terrible ritual on Nathema: with the help of ancient magic, he drank all the Power from the planet, turning it into a piece of stone and killing millions of its inhabitants. Thus, he gained immortality and became emperor. Gathering all the remaining Sith under his command, he intimidated them and forced them to go with him in search of a new home outside the known galaxy. The final coordinates were already known to him, but Vitiate chose to hide them, extending the fleet's journey for decades and forcing all the Sith to worship him as a god.

Eventually they reached the planet Dromund Kaas, where they hid for a thousand years, growing in power. Later, Jedi Revan would find the planet and meet with the Emperor. Its power will be so great that Revan will turn into a soulless puppet in the hands of the monster and turn to the Dark Side.

Almost three hundred years later, the Empire emerged from the shadows and dealt a crushing blow to the Republic, establishing the Sith dictatorship for many years. Visheit himself stepped down from power at this time to take up his secret projects. As a result, the Republic still managed to fight back and, with the assistance of the Jedi Order, destroy the physical shell of the emperor. However, his spirit survived and for a long time moved from one body to another (Palpatine would later do the same), bringing a lot of troubles to the distant, distant galaxy.

Revan and Malak's first meeting with the Emperor.

Galen Marek

A headache for any Star Wars fan, the character is so strange and illogical that questions about his canonicity were ongoing long before the Expanded Universe was cancelled.

Galen was born on Kashyyyk in the family of two Jedi - Molly and Kento Marek. After the boy’s mother died on a mission, his father took over raising his son. Then began the infamous Purge (Great Jedi Purge), during which Darth Vader personally led an attack on Kashyyyk to kill Kento. However, after the battle, the sword Vader raised over the enemy’s head was torn from his hands. This is how the Sith Lord discovered Galen's incredible potential. However, this did not save the elder Marek.

Having eliminated all the witnesses, Vader took the boy off the planet, made him his secret student and awarded him a new name - Starkiller (that, by the way, was supposed to be Luke Skywalker's name in the original version of the script for A New Hope). His plans were the most far-reaching - with the help of Marek, kill Emperor Palpatine and seize power (remember the “rule of two”?).

But everything, as always, went wrong. Like many young men, Starkiller managed to fall in love with his partner, the pilot Juno Eclipse. Well, then there was tossing, doubts about the teacher’s words about the power of the Dark Side and, finally, a transition to the Light Side. As a result, Galen betrayed Vader, founded the rebel movement and led it (are you already seething with fan indignation?). No wonder the famous rebel emblem is the coat of arms of the Marek family.

Vader and the emperor discovered the conspirators and almost killed everyone. To save his friends, Starkiller had to sacrifice his life. Oh yes, not long before that, he used the Force to drop a Star Destroyer on the planet. This is in case you haven’t yet realized what’s wrong with the character.

In the second part, Galen (or rather, his clone) acquired a second lightsaber.

And in The Force Unleashed 2 it turned out that Vader managed to clone Galen, but this is a completely different (and not really finished) story - moreover, unlike many others, it deserves to sink into oblivion.

This is one of the most famous locations from the Star Wars universe. This is where they filmed the house and youth Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine. Many centuries ago, the Berbers created these underground structures and used them as homes. Over time, they were turned into a hotel, where George Lucas made his film. After the film crew left, the set was dismantled, but then it was rebuilt again in 2000 for the second episode of the Attack of the Clones saga. Nothing has changed since then. Diners can eat at Little Luke's table.

Great Dune in the vicinity of the Nefta oasis (Tunisia)

Exterior of Luke's house Skywalker was filmed 300 km from the hotel near the dry salt lake Chott el-Jerid. In order to visit this place, tourists will need a good car and exact coordinates – 33°50’34.42″N, 7°46’44.48″E.

The house from the 1977 film was dismantled but then rebuilt for Attack of the Clones. A view of the Dune Sea located on the surface of Tatooine was also filmed nearby. And a 30-minute drive away is the filming location of the city of Mos Espa, where he spent his childhood Anakin Skywalker.

Redwood National Park (California, USA)

Redwood National Park served as a location for filming the forested moon of Endor. Much of this area is owned by a private logging company.

Filming of the sixth episode of the Return of the Jedi saga took place in 1982. And since then it has been quite difficult to recognize this place. But a walk in the park still gives you the feeling of being on a film set. This is especially true for Avenue of the Giants.

Hardangerjokulen Glacier (Finse, Norway)

Views of the planet Hoth from the movie “ The Empire Strikes Back was filmed in the small Norwegian village of Finse. The film crew and actors stayed at the Finse 1222 hotel.

Some scenes of the episode were filmed there, but the main location was near the glacier. In March and April the weather is great and there is still a lot of snow. Guides in Finse will easily guide tourists to places from famous and beloved scenes.

Villa Balbianello (Lenno, Italy)

In "Attack of the Clones" Anakin and Padmé Amidala were hiding in this very place. In reality, this villa is very popular among those who want to get married on Lake Como. The building was built in 1787 for Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini. James Bond also visited here at Casino Royale.

For the filming of Star Wars, the area around the villa was slightly changed, but you can recognize the balcony on which Anakin and Padmé, easy enough.

Phang Nga Bay (Thailand/China)

This place became a filming location for the planet Kashyyyk, the homeland of the Wookiee race from Revenge of the Sith. Much footage was also taken in Phuket Province and Guilin County in China.

Whippendell Forest (Watford, UK)

Forest on the planet Naboo, where Jar Jar Binks first meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in the first episode of the saga, was filmed in one of the forests of England near the film studio Warner Bros. in Leavesden.

Gungans live underwater, but there is no lake in this forest. Therefore, all the scenes with water were completed later.

Plaza de España (Seville, Spain)

When Padmé and Anakin arrived at the Royal Palace of Theed, in reality the action took place in the Plaza de España, which was built in 1929 for the Ibero-American Exhibition.

For scenes in the film “Attack of the Clones” and “ The Hidden Threat” the appearance of the square was changed - towers and green domes of Naboo were added.

Volcano Etna (Italy)

Of course, the actors did not fight directly in the lava of a volcano in Sicily. But its species were used to create scenes of battles on the planet Mustafar between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith.

Death Valley National Park (California, USA)

Although most of the scenes on the planet Tatooine were filmed in Tunisia, the location for the main moments of the episode “A New Hope” was chosen to be “Death Valley,” which is located between the mountain range Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert.

For travel scenes C-3PO and R2-D2 used the Grand Canyon to Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi. Fans of the saga should also be familiar with Dante Peak and the Mesquite Dunes.
