User:Imperators II



Hello,, and welcome to my userpage! I am Imperators II, which in Latvian means "Emperor" ("II" is, well, just a random number). Regarding the Star Wars media, I painstakingly and patiently try to read/view everything in in-universe chronological order and try not to expose myself to spoilers from the media that are set further in the timeline than the work(s) I'm reading/viewing.

Useful stuff (for me, at least)

Quotes of the Day

Random & curious

 * In Star Wars: Jedi—The Dark Side 1, set in 53 BBY, Xanatos refers to Dooku as " Count Dooku".
 * Apparently winters on Coruscant were cold enough for water to freeze, since that's what happened in the water delivery tunnels of the Dex's Diner in c. 24 BBY.

What's with the time, anyway?

 * Why did it take kriffing eleven thousand years (from c. 15,500 BBY to 4,800 BBY –4,775 BBY ) for the Jedi to replace the belt-mounted power packs of their lightsabers with power cells within their hilts?! The Sith managed to do it in less than two millennia (from 6,900 BBY to 5,000 BBY )!
 * Jango Fett–type Mandalorian armor was apparently so cool and popular that it was used for four thousand years (from 3,963 BBY to 44 ABY ).
 * Four thousand year–old blaster. No comment. (E-9 blaster was used both in 3,653 BBY and in 19 BBY )
 * The Republic Military were so badass that they didn't even care they were using warship models that were three thousand years old. (Hammerhead-class cruisers were used both in the Battle of Vanquo in 3,963 BBY and in the First Battle of Ruusan in 1,002 BBY .)
 * The Phase I clone trooper armor was first used in the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY. It turned out to be quite uncomfortable for Humans, and the upgraded Phase II clone trooper armor was introduced two years later. In 19 BBY, however, the Imperial stormtroopers began to use the stormtrooper armor, which was so damn cool it apparently still wasn't upgraded by 138 ABY, a century-and-a-half later.
 * Why did the Jedi think of using the Yuuzhan Vong bio-engineering skills to reverse the damage done by Vongforming to many worlds during the Yuuzhan Vong War only a century after it ended?
