Now what?s this? Niman (not to be confused with Form VI) teaches the use of two lightsabers simultaneously, according to Hero?s Guide Web Enhancement (what?s the canon level of that source, anyway?). Other sources states that the correct name for this art should be Jar?Kai, and some says Niman/Jar?Kai. Are there two different styles or just one with two names?
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction states that the use of two lightsabers is a distinct variant of the fourth form, a comment that likely derives from the footnote that Anakin ?engage[s] Dooku with the two lightsaber variant of Form IV? in the Insider article Fightsaber. A misconception? Or do Form IV has an own two-saber ?subform??
Thank you for your time

Giolon, I'm curious to know where you found the information about Hesperidium forming the Bridge; that statement is currently the source of a minor citation debate on Wookieepedia.

I think the source is that the statement is that the Vong simply took the "largest" of Corsucant's moons and trashed it to make the Bridge and some people assumed that Hesperidium was 1) a moon of Corsucant, and 2) Corsucant's largest moon.

The suggestion seems to be coming more from people looking for axes to grind than actual facts, as no one has stepped forward to offer citation, just recieved wisdom that the moon was destroyed.

*For the longest time we've used dozens of pointy-eared characters without a species name for them. *
:^O It's true! Just call 'em Elves, right?

My theory is that all pointy-eared species are either Sephi or closely related to Sephi.
Fascinating -- just as the human clade has greatly diversified across the Galaxy.

Not concretely.
Oo, good to know. Wookieepedia has them labeled "Equine" but that's probably just a literalistic interpretation of Kiel Charney's comment about Farfalla's "equine blood".

My understanding has always been that Hesperidium is a moon in the Coruscant system,
That's my understanding, as well -- although I'd have to pull out P.o.T. to be sure. Giolon, I'm curious to know where you found the information about Hesperidium forming the Bridge; that statement is currently the source of a minor citation debate on Wookieepedia.

The Force is definitely amped up to enhance gameplay. Star Wars in its various forms is always going to be taylored to specific mediums, whether it be for gameplay, artistic, or technical reasons. What we see in the films are the true representation of Force abilities.
I'll take that as a yes. Thanks a bunch.

However, this comment seems to indicate that the Force abilties displayed virtually anywhere besides the movies could potentially be chalked up to the needs of the medium in question, rather than being outright canon...

There is also another "equine" species in the SW universe called Nazzar from the planet Nazzri. A Nazzar Jedi by the name of Qrrl Toq appears in the Old Republic era Tales of the Jedi comics.

Coruscant has more than one moon. If memory serves, It originally had four moons, one of which was destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong to create the "Rainbow Bridge".

In the Prequals, the Jedi Council Chamber appears to have another circular antechamber like room outside plus an elevator. This seems to be structurally impossible from all the images I've seen. Is this just a mishap with the design of a circular room?

Are there any names in the Holocron for the two unnamed Imperial Advisors in 'RotJ'?

Tasty, have you given any thought to the canon level of the sheer Force power Darth Vader's Apprentice displays in the upcoming Force Unleashed game? From the pre-viz, concept art, webdoc and production diaries, it seems clear that they want to give the Apprentice above and beyond levels of Force power, to rival or exceed that displayed even by Yoda and Sidious in other media.

With the Apprentice presumably not being of such enormous Force mastery, do you have an opinion of whether the levels of power displayed by the Apprentice will be explained as exaggeration for the purposes of articstic license? Much like the level of Jedi power in the Clone Wars Miniseries was?

Tasty:

I'd love to here anyone's thoughts on seeing the Holocron, good or bad.

Well, I think you already know my opinion.

It was really neat to get to see it. I know one of your goals was to demystify the Holocron a bit, and for those who expected more than a plain old FileMaker Pro database, I'm sure you succeeded.

But I don't think the mystery has ever been about the format, or even the content, so much as the connections. To use an overdramatic analogy, the power of religious relics come from their history and users, not inherent greatness. And here, we were getting to see THE program Lucasfilm uses to keep track of Star Wars. The one that authors use to find obscure content to tie their works into the larger SW tapestry. The one that eager fans have been getting answers from, through the helpfulness of its Keeper, for years now, without ever getting to see it ourselves. Until now.

That's special. Even if it IS just a plain old FileMaker Pro database.
