Mace said that Anakin needed to break the CIS blockade "before the next planetary rotation".

Why Filoni why. We can only assume that Twi'leks based their time units upon other planets in the system, like Or Tuma. Any official explanation, Mr. Chee?

*I've notived in the Clone Wars, episode 21: Liberty of Ryloth, that there is day and night in the same hemisphere. I'm the novel The Krytos Trap, it makes it clear that the same side always faces the sun.

Maybe they were near the edge? Where day meets night and the planet's tilt might still be enough to vary day from night in that narrow band around the planet?

Or they forgot about that fact?*

I rewatched Storm Over Ryloth last night, and they did basically forget that Ryloth was tidally locked. Mace said that Anakin needed to break the CIS blockade "before the next planetary rotation". I'm pretty sure that term refers to a Rylothian day (equal to one year, since one rotation is the same duration as one orbit), and not a Coruscant day, because otherwise he would just say "within 24 hours (or however many hours are in a Republic standard day)" or "before we get there tomorrow", which both imply a Republic standard day, not a local day.

Hey, Mr. Chee, did Kreia die as Darth Traya, or was she still Traya? I know the KotOR campaign guide and the CSWE states that she was Traya, but wanted to get confirmation from you.

does anyone know when they started using the sith title i just got done rereading TTT and they kept referring to vader and palpatine as dark jedi. Ive noticed it in some of the other earlier books as well.

It's not a bad idea, but in the possible words of Darth Vader, "I wouldn't want that glove becoming another part of me," especially since his costume coordination would depend on whether the glove was black or white. Maybe it's just human nature, but he'd also probably end up leaving it in the closet. You are not alone in thinking it's a good idea, but sometimes you can't win.

Anything inside the glove might still conduct vast amounts of heat. In which case the wearer would still have to shunt the excess energy away in some way to avoid their hand/cybernetic equipment from cooking/frying inside the glove.

If you're going to get into that, you'll have to get into inertial dampeners, sound and friction in space, binary star systems, etc.

Where in "invincible" does it imply "non-conductive" material? The glove might be able to survive huge explosions, and laser blasts, but that doesn't mean that can't conduct the heat. Anything inside the glove might still conduct vast amounts of heat. In which case the wearer would still have to shunt the excess energy away in some way to avoid their hand/cybernetic equipment from cooking/frying inside the glove.

He didn't want to find out if it was really indestructible or not, considering what he paid for it.

For the most part it is not possible for a laser to bounce. However, the wookiee bowcaster has been established as being able to ricochet. The reasoning being that a bowcaster fires a projectile encased in a laser and that it is the projectile that is being deflected and the laser follows since the two are somehow connected.

I don't know how to explain the bouncing laser in TPM.
