Talk:Mustafar/Legends

Is it fully understood that the name of the volcanic body is not something more on the order of the Volcanic Moon of Mustafar, even as its stated to be a double planet. For all we know, the gas giant is the named planet and this is a moon of it. Remember how Lucas likes to mirror the movies. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Mustafar name
Is it possible the name was a wordplay on Mufasar (from the Lion King) who was also voiced by James Earl Jones. It would seem fiting as Mufasar died in the Lion King, and on Mustafar Anakin Skywalker died on mustafar and became Darth Vader? -- Jasca Ducato 19:16, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought it was Mufasa. Still close though. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:53, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Mustafa
Mustafa (Arabic script: مصطفى) means "chosen one". It is both an ordinary word and a proper name, and it is one of the names given to the Prophet Muhammad. Mustafar is nearly the same, except for the final R (for Revenge [of the Sith]?). Obi-Wan says to Vader there, "you were the Chosen One!". Coincidence, or ... ?
 * Good job 81. You know it was intentional on the part of Lucas. ;) -- Riffsyphon1024 20:29, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's add that to the behind the scenes section.Lord vader1414 22:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Coruscant to Mustafar?
How in the hell was Palpatine able to haul himself from Imperial Center to this desolate piece of magma in the Outer Rim in, apparently, five minutes? Thanos6 20:52, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * My guess is that he was clued off that he needed to head out there with a bit of farseeing through the Force. jSarek 22:49, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I know that, but don't even the fastest shuttles take days to go from Core to Outer Rim? Thanos6 22:50, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Apparently not; we've seen several different quick journeys from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories (or vice versa) in the course of the films (Darth Maul's trip to Tatooine, Yoda's trip from Coruscant to Kamino to Geonosis, and the Millennium Falcon's trip from Tatooine to Alderaan). The *average* trip from a random Core planet to a random Rim planet is measured in days or weeks, but apparently the specific planets we've seen in the movies have far shorter transit times than the average, a benefit of being located close to high-speed hyperroutes like the Corellian Run and the Hydian Way. jSarek 23:10, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Then there's Admiral Piett saying "they're on the other side of the galaxy by now..." referring to the Falcon escaping a few hours before. VT-16 13:35, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * And don't forget who Palpatine is. He's the Emperor of the Galaxy, he can get anywhere he wants as fast as he wants. --Master Starkeiller 14:57, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep. He'd have access to the fastest ships, and as Sith Lord probably had knowledge of forgotten or secret travelling routes. VT-16 12:24, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * We know that he was aware of shortcuts through the Deep Core area, which was generally thought of as impossible to navitage at lightspeed due the density of stars. That aside, there's also the possibility that the Yoda/Palpatine and Obi-Wan/Anakin duels weren't near-simultaneous like they seemed in the movie. After all, Obi-Wan had to make the trip to Mustafar to confront Anakin, while Yoda was already on the same planet as Palpatine. There really wasn't any reason for Yoda to wait around for however long it would take for Obi-Wan to make the trip. Thus, it's possible that Yoda and Palpatine's duel was concluded days before Obi-Wan and Anakin's even started. 71.236.33.191 17:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Mustafar in Star Wars Galaxies
Mustafar's history is discussed somewhat often within Star Wars Galaxies' "Trials of Obi-Wan" expansion. Should information about the Jedi and Sith battle on Mustafar be included in this article? It seemed to be a rather large part of the planet's ancient history.

If you cite the source and type up a reasonable summary, have at it! Dangerdan97 13:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Backwards lava flow
In The Revenge of the Sith DVD, I belive it was Rick Mcallum (sp?) that said because of the way the scene where Anakin and Obi-wan duel on the fallen arm in the lava river was originally shot, the lava flow had to be reversed to show them coming towards the screen instead of away from it. Is this something we want to add in the behind the scenes section just for reference? -Lord vader1414 05:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it really needed there? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess not, but wouldn't it be good to put in just for reference? I've seen crazier stuff put in other articles. -Lord vader1414 17:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You have a point. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * So, do we want to add that? -Lord vader1414 21:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I said "You have a point" because you said "I've seen crazier stuff put in other articles". ;) Anyway, that might be better in Duel on Mustafar. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, true. Ok then. : ) -Lord vader1414 22:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, it could be added here... Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, you decide and tell me what you think is best. Oh, by the way, all you people reading this can submit too. Sometimes i feel that these discussions are between just me and Nebulax. -Lord vader1414 22:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It probably should go in the article. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Wait, THIS one, right? not the duel article? -Lord vader1414 23:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Both. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok then, will do! : ) -Lord vader1414 23:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, then. Well, I guess I could have made this a shorter conversation had I said that in the first place... ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's ok, you didnt know. Look good? -Lord vader1414 23:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. I'm just surprised no one put the bullets in before. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I would have just placed it on the Duel article, but that's just me. ;) -- Riffsyphon1024 04:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, at least we agreed on placing it in one place. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What's done is done, my friends. I'd say that it's ingraved in stone, but it's not, so... yeah... But i think it looks ok where it is. If you have an objection, just tell me. -Lord vader1414 06:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it could always be removed if someone thinks it's not neccissary there. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Breathable Air?
I've been wondering on this quite some time, how the heck is anybody able to survive on Mustafar if it has no way of creating breathable air? Maybe because in a Galaxy far far away they breath somethine else? Just been wondering on this and wanted to know if anybody knew out there Ivor 22:23, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, so far, oxygen is probably what most people breathe. It's possible that there is some form of odd vegetation that can survive the intense heats. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Green?
What is the source for Mustafar once having been a "lush, green world"? I have seen nothing to support this. In fact, the Databank makes no mention of a gas giant being repositioned with the Force, or Mustafar once being green. -  Angel Blue 451 (Holonet) 01:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Most likely fanon. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm removing it until we get a source. -  Angel Blue 451 (Holonet)[[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] 16:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I added that myself...it's from both Galaxies, and a short story published on the Galaxies site, which is linked to in the Sources. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 23:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * But isn't that contradicted by another source? I'm positive I've read that Mustafar was a relatively young and unstable planet. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * From the Databank:

''The young world of Mustafar is literally being torn in opposing directions, caught in a gravimetric tug of war that keeps it from becoming the moon of a nearby gas giant. Despite the close proximity of massive Jestefad, Mustafar keeps to its erratic orbit, pulled by the distant influence of another giant, Lefrani. The tidal strain heats up Mustafar's molten core, resulting in spectacular geological activity across the entire planet.''

There is no mention of it ever having been lush and green. -  Angel Blue 451 (Holonet) 00:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm pretty sure Star Wars: Complete Locations says something very similar. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "Long ago in the days of the Old Republic, Mustafar was a lush green world. It was a much different place than it is now, free of volcanic activity and a harsh atmosphere. The Jedi were strong in the ways of the Force, and had many temples on Mustafar where they cultivated their abilities and trained their students. The Sith were also very powerful and wanted to exterminate the Jedi. Long ago, this small world set the stage for a climactic battle between the Jedi and the Sith."

 * Adding it back in, seeing as the Galaxies site is a canon source, and there's nothing in that statement that denies that it's a possiblity. Also, that particular article was written by one of the Galaxies staff members for the Friday Feature, to tie in with the new releases in the game. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 01:17, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
