Tiin's horn:

That was a joke, right? After all these years, now it suddenly grows back, whether in 5 months or otherwise?

Is that scene with the Homing Spider Droids coming out of the water in Chapter #22 the planet of Utapau?

Cool, thanks!

I'm guessing the duplicated scenes that differ in some details will relate to one another in the same way comic adaptations differ from the original source material - i.e., some truncated dialogue is analgous to cropped/missing characters and changed wording.

"Certain point of view" yadda yadda you get the idea ;)

  • is the Wookiee scene in Chapter 22 taking place on Kashyyk or Alaris Prime?*
Kashyyyk.

Hi Tasty Taste can you help piece together the Continuity as to what events came first as seen in LOE, the Webstrips and the Clone War Series up until the opening of EP III for us to have a clear picture?
I'll go into some of this at some point after Chapter 25 airs, though I don't think I could ever guarantee a "clear picture;" translucent maybe.

Saesee Tiin's horn . . .which regrew over the last three epsiodes.
Which covers about 5 months in time.

I read "Jedi Trial" (and loved it) and no, it never mentions anything about the length of his hair. He's still a Padawan, so despite what is shown on the cover, I assume he still has the traditional Padawan style. This would work with the cartoon, so there's no errors that can't be resolved. :)

^ Great! :D Then no contradictions! If his hair is not mentioned in Trial, then we have no contradictions with that book! :D

The Clone Wars are a difficult time, and as we have seen, the Jedi Trials can come in all shapes and sizes. Anakin had to endure many trials, against Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, and on Praesitlyn. But these were not "official" trials as sanctioned by the Jedi Council. And while Yoda decided that he had proven himself after Praesitlyn, the entire council was not privy to that scene at the end of Jedi Trial. Think of Luke. If you've read SOTE then you know that he comes to an understanding that he is a Jedi Knight when he reaches a new level of clarity in the Force. But he has not completed his trials as Yoda informs him in ROTJ, not until he confronts Darth Vader. He is a Knight in name, but not quite yet in spirit. I think this is similar to Anakin's path. He is a Jedi Knight, but his trials are not yet over, since he must make do without the "formal" trials that are accorded to most (but not all) Jedi.

Also, the Audiobook didn't include the scenes with Yoda and Mace, nor did it include the one with Sidious, from Trial. I hope those didn't contradict anything...

^ Yeah, and the cover shows Ep. II troopers, but the book takes place in a period with Phase II clone armor. And the Battle of Geonosis, yet the book is about the Battle of Praesitlyn. Photo montage covers are renditions, they don't represent what's in the book. Is there a mention of long-haired Anakin in the book? If no, then he had the top-knot and braid.

Um, sorry, but I must have missed something really
important here. I own Jedi Trial in Audiobook
format, ABRIDGED, and there is no mention to his
appearance. Is there such a thing in the book?

I had thought there wasn't, but it's been a while since I've read it. If not, I think people are basing it on the cover photo.

Remember, though, that we see ANAKIN with his hair length changing from Jedi Trial to the Knighting in Season 3 and back again for Dreadnaughts of Rendili. So, hair lengths are somewhat subjective here.

Also, don't forget about the amazing regeneration of Saesee Tiin's horn...

Well, at least it didn't regrow and get cut again, it just waited a long time to start regrowing... But don't worry. I can find an explanation to that... Um, just let me think... Okay, his horn grew VEEEEEEEEEERY slowly for 2 years, because it was cut in its hard part, which is extremely difficult to regenerate. The tip's soft, though, and grew again in a few months. There! :p

Thank you, Tasty. So when exactly does the Nelvaan mission take place? After or before Tythe? It's also somewhat difficult to place because they go to Nelvaan after being on this Outer Rim planet for a whole month (as said in Chapter 22). I still don't really see how continuity is working here :S.

Oh, also: Is the Wookiee scene in Chapter 22 taking place on Kashyyyk or Alaris Prime?

I guess the Confederacy would first land on Alaris to estabilish a base, and then move on to the main course: Kashyyyk itself. But it's just my guess...

Anakin's Knighthood takes place just after Jedi Trial, as the conversation at the end of Jedi Trial is a private one, and the one in Episode 21 is the final decision. The scenes at the beginning of Episode 22 are just before the Dreadnaughts of Rendili, because Anakin gets the scar from Asajj at the end of that Battle.

No, that can't be. Obi with short hair can't cooexist with unscarred Anakin, since Obi had long hair when Anakin was scarred. And in the Cartoon, the scar disappears and reappears in the Sieges scenes. We can't say if he has a scar or not. So, I'll say these scenes should better be placed AFTER Dreadnaughts, in the four months before R. o. t. S..

(continued)

Will we be getting a databank update for this series, much like that last two times around?

Thanks a million, don't worry, after Chapter 25 on Friday the ceaseless questions will stop ;) or at least dry up a little :)

Yes, but they're trying to show several large battles over a protracted amount of time (the Outer Rim Sieges, I beleive, which haven't begun properly by DoR, I think), and there's really not enough space for that as it is in the 30th month.
