Talk:Kashyyyk/Legends

Do you have a source for Kashyyyk being in the Gordian Reach Sector? Because that's the sector Yavin is in, and thus would be a really, really big sector to also contain Kashyyyk (and we know it's not an Oversector, because Yavin is in the Bright Jewel Oversector). I've seen one online source placing Kashyyyk in the Sumitra sector, but haven't verified it with an official source just yet. JSarek 20:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Heir to the Empire sourcebook states Gordian reach. Imperialles 21:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * As I have the HESB, this one I can say is untrue, unless it's hidden in some weird spot I wouldn't think to check; it's certainly not in the section on Kashyyyk, Chewbacca, or Wookiees. Is this from the same website as the Dryden sector? JSarek 21:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)


 * You know it! I think we should ignore that site from now on. Imperialles 21:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems to have the *planets* sourced right, at least, even though their locations are totally fabricated. Still, I'd double check anything I found there; having looked over his maps a bit, almost nothing matches up with official maps like the ones at the beginning of the NJO books.  For more accurate maps, I (quite heartily) suggest the ones at Nav-computer.com. JSarek 21:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I can't find a sector for Kashyyyk, but the Sumitra sector apparently contains 12,387 planets and moons, including Tierfon. But makes no mention of Kashyyyk. --Beeurd 21:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe this will be resolved after the release of Inside the Worlds of Episode III. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Very true. --Beeurd 21:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's hope. The CUSWE in the entry for Kashyyyk mentions the Sumitra sector, but there are so many sources that go into the Kashyyyk entry I'm not sure where to check for it.  Perhaps it's in Gamer #4?  Can anyone who owns that magazine check and see if it's there? JSarek 21:37, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Our Sumitra Sector article already says that the planet is located in it. Do we keep with that in the meantime. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:53, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oy, good question. Well, we KNOW it's not on the Gordian Reach, so that's gotta go.  I think I'll replace it with the Sumitra Sector for now, since I've not known the CUSWE to make things up, but we should still find and verify the source of that bit of information ASAP.

A Thought
Is it possible because of the terentatek that Kashyyyk may have been under the control of the original Sith Empire? User:RushinSundaws
 * Hmm, interesting theory. However, it is possible that the Sith accuired the terentatek when they conquered Kashyyyk during the New Sith Wars. -- SFH 15:43, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Weren't the New Sith Wars after Revan went to Kashyyyk? Oh, and thanks for saying was interesting. User:RushinSundaws 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Opinion
Am I the only one that noticed the error in Revenge of the Sith that showed an ocean on Kashyyyk? Yes, I have considered the fact that this ocean may have occured over time, but, it kind of ruins Kashyyyk. Does anyone know why there is an ocean??--Rindu Highland 15:17, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC) Did anyone notice that the Wookiees were fighting on ground? I thought the Shadowlands were the ground! Can someone please explain this for me?
 * It's not technically an "error", as whatever is seen in the movies overrides the EU. And we don't see much of Kashyyyk's surface in the EU. Nevertheless, I think that in order for Kashyyyk to have so much vegetation, it needs to have a lot of surface water. It doesn't "ruin" it for me. Even more, I'd like to see more surface water on planets such as Dantooine. - Sikon [ Talk ] 15:32, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * There's an ocean on Kashyyk. There always has been, even prior to ROTS. If you think about it, a heavily vegetated planet wouldn't really work without a largish body of water. QuentinGeorge 20:09, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if it was in ROTS, then ther is an ocean on Kashyyyk. Like they said above, it would make sense anyway for oceans to be on the planet, due to the forests and such. I do wonder, however, why Lucas didn't take the idea Kube-McDowell had for Coruscant from The Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy with having at least some water on Coruscant. Adamwankenobi 23:30, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Because it contradicted his conceptual idea of a city-planet. QuentinGeorge 05:19, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. But people can't survive without water, just as Kube-McDowell suggested. I suppose Lucas would say, though, that their water is constantly shipped from another planet, or that they drain their water from underground, or they catch it when it rains. And then the rain brings up another question: If there is rain, as seen in ROTS, then what water condensed to cause it in the first place? Adamwankenobi 06:14, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It wasn't the water Kube-McDowell had a problem with, it was the planet's capacity to feed its population. However, Curtis Saxton (among others) showed that this concern was misplaced. QuentinGeorge 06:35, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Besides, the "city planet with water" idea was eventually implemented, see Taris. - Sikon [ Talk ] 07:19, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I see. OK. Adamwankenobi 07:27, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * The other thing is that there are costal regions of Kashyyyk specifically mentioned in EU, they just aren't prominent politically. (Perhaps due to their clone war devestation? mhm?)--Erl 18:51, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Pronounciation
(sigh) Fine.Adamwankenobi 08:46, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Can we please get the proper pronounciation guide back? This one is lame and amateurish. QuentinGeorge 05:21, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't want people calling it Kah-zook either. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:01, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That's from the Holiday Special. It should be included, for completeness. QuentinGeorge 06:02, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is pronouneced "Kazook" in the holiday special, which, like it or not, is canonical, therefore we should include it. Adamwankenobi 06:07, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe if one was speaking in Bocce. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:09, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Possibly... but I removed that pronounciation guide becuase I thought it just sucks, and clutters up the article. Adamwankenobi 06:12, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't keep removing it. It's a standard encyclopedic form and we've used it throughout the rest of the wiki. QuentinGeorge 07:43, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Kazook?! Well, it's certainly not pronounced like that in KOTOR. How is it pronounced in ROTS? (I only have the Russian version of ROTS.) - Sikon [ Talk ] 11:46, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It's pronounced Kazook in the Holiday Special, KASH-ik in KOTOR and Republic Commando, and kuh-SHEEK in ROTS. --MarcK [talk] 12:35, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And if I might add, KASH-sheek in Battlefront II. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:33, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * And, if you've read the article on the Holocron continuity database, it says, that G-canon (the 6 movies, and anything directly from George Lucas) overides C-canon (Expanded Universe). Nick sponge


 * And, if you think about it, people pronounce things differently. I'm pretty sure that not all beings in the galaxy would pronounce it "KASH-EEK." In the films, we've only heard Mace Windu's method of pronouning it. Adamwankenobi 19:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Forest picture

 * This picture was under the "Forest" section of the article. I removed it, since there clearly aren't enough trees in the pic to qualify as a forest. Ideally, we could get a picture of the "layered deathtrap" forests with the massive trees. -LtNOWIS 20:19, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * The picture is not a good one as this represent Dagobah and not Kashyyyk, due to a confusion between the promotional pictures before the release of Revenge of the Sith.

You can see this in the deleted scenes in RotS DVD ;).

Can I suggest you to search an other one ? -- Nom Anor 12:32, 16 March 2006 (FR)

Date of Kashyyyk's entry into the Clone Wars
The article seems to think that Deep Forest falls immediately before RotS... I got the impression that it was just after AotC... anyone? --McEwok 00:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Seeing as the Wookiees in the Clone Wars cartoon are caught unawares by the CIS, I'd say that it's just before RotS. Cutch 02:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And you'd be right - or at least, much more right than me! The first frame of Deep Forest (Visionaries, p. 93) dates the story "eighteen months after the Battle of Geonosis".... --McEwok 09:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
