It seems that these two or three unidentified admirals (which may include Admirals Tandres and Tavares, mentioned in Galaxywide NewsNets in Star Wars Adventure Journal 12) would have been the admirals in charge of separate fleets that were combined to create Death Squadron - it does say that Vader called his favorite Star Destroyers together. Amise Griff would presumably be Vader's choice or the senior-most of these admirals, which is why he would assume command of Death Squadron.

Then the story would proceed like this: Griff dies, the Executor is unveiled, Death Squadron is officially formed, and Kendal Ozzel is transferred from the ISD Reprisal to the Executor as Griff's replacement. Note, however, that there would be a period between Griff and Ozzel without a commander of Death Squadron, unless Admiral Bentro (the third admiral, perhaps?) becomes acting admiral as commander of the Executor.

My final question is this: Would any of this be possible?

TFU questions (spoilers apply):

1. So Vader spent time raising and training an apprentice, just to deceive him into gathering Rebel leaders... that Palpatine ended up letting go? I'm not sure I understand the point of it all?

2. How is the Executor in use before it was constructed at the Starship Yards of Fondor two years later?

3. If Bail is a fugitive from the law, branded a traitor and terrorist, why does he allow his daughter to stay in the Senate? For that matter, why is Leia not arrested on site when she goes to Coruscant? Why do Vader, Palps and Leia pretend like they all have amnesia? Here, in their midst, is someone who knows about their top-secret weapon, is outspoken against the Empire, and is the daughter of the man they supposedly wanted to kill.

Leland,
I've got two question about LFL's 12-month-calendar system:
1) When does a year in BBY/ABY begin? At the first day of the in-universe year (e.g. 13:01:01 / 13:F1:1) or at the day of the battle of Yavin?
2) How many days does a month have?
Thanks for your time! (First posted on the BCaTVIPs thread)

They're also two entirely different Sith Orders, so even if those statements weren't hyperbole, they could be seen as referring to the most powerful Sith of their particular order.

In Golden Age of the Sith, Marka Ragnos is called "the most powerful of the most powerful". But then in Vader: The Ultimate Guide, Emperor Palpatine is called "the most powerful Sith Lord the galaxy has ever known".

They contradict each other, so are statements that say who's better than who considered canon?

Regarding TFU:

Given that the comic specifically puts the "framing story" (and thus the end of the game and novel) at 2 BBY, but has two specific six months gaps noted (the former of which is specified as six months in other sources as well, but the latter of which, as far as I know, is only specified in the comic), can we safely assume that TFU's Starkiller missions (i.e. not the Vader event) starts around 3 BBY?

Regarding the Vader level wherein Starkiller is found: Are we to assume that the date given for this event in Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force is the correct date for this event?

Also, given that TFU is quite different on different platforms, are we to believe that the canonical version of events are those found in the LucasArts (Xbox 360 and PS3) versions of the game, which are more closely represented in the novel and comic?

Oh, one more question regarding Wullf Yularen: Would you happen to know who played Yularen in +A New Hope+?

Is senator Gem Sirron who appears in both Trisha Biggar's +Dressing a Galaxy +and on the Official Pix website http://www.officialpix.com/estore/proddetail.asp?prod=SW-19 17, the same character played by Visual Effects Producer Jill Brooks seen at the Galaxies Opera House http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jill_Brooks%27s_Opera_House_ Patron?

Interesting.

You'd think it would've been caught in editing . . .

But, hey, we have an answer, so that works.

Hmm . . .

Okay, I have some Street of Shadows confusion, though nothing that would be considered spoilers, I don't believe.

1. When making references to Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker, the first and most of the second book in this series make it clear (I think) that Jax has no idea that Anakin went on to become Vader. None of his companions know this either. However, on p. 117, the "narrator" (from the perspective of our heroes) makes mention of Anakin's "one-man pogrom" during Order 66. Is this an error, or one of those few times when the narration, despite having a specific point of view, was allowed to stretch beyond the character's knowledge? It just seems jarring.

2. References to "Flame Night" were a bit unclear in the first book, but based on the second, we have to assume that it is within the first month or two after ROTS, correct? (It has to be a bit before the first book, yet after Order 66.)

3. This one feels just . . . sloppy. I'm not entirely even sure what to make of it . . .

Street of Shadows is set a few months (which they say repeatedly without pinning down a number) after Jedi Twilight, which was, itself, within the first few months after ROTS.

On p. 90, Rhinnan is considering a transmission from Drongar during "the waning years of the Clone Wars." (Given the transmission, it's dating back to the Medstar books, it seems.) However, the transmission is repeatedly said to have been about TWENTY years old, hence some degradation. It is as if this entirely little few page section has somehow leaped ahead nearly two decades in perspective, when, obviously, it is not meant to do so.

Is there something I'm reading wrong? Am I missing some contextual comment that makes those twenty year references make sense somehow?
