[Spoiler] My new up to date list of all the strange weird and crazy things that have happened so far in the new canon


Preamble: Before we begin I want to explain why I am making this list. I don’t want anyone to think it's because I dislike the NEU. While I do prefer Legends and do have problems with parts of the NEU (mainly TFA) I do like the NEU. I am doing this in response to all the posts that go “X in Legends was stupid and the reason it was bad and needed to be trashed) with X being something that was either non-canon in the first place, only happened once and was never mentioned again, or made sense in context (like Maul and Palpatine's respective deaths and rebirths). The three major things I want to touch on are history, context, and opinion.If we want to know the history of crazy/weird/strange in Star Wars then we need to go all the way back to ANH where we start out with some guy in a weird black suit with breathing problems. Then we are introduced to weird little robed rats called Jawa’s, big hairy elephants called bantha’s, and a whole bar of crazy aliens plus some kind of sewage monster. Later on in the movies we get cities in the clouds, space worms living in asteroids, force ghosts, and all kinds of things. So from the very beginning Star Wars has been weird with the new movies always expanding on that. Such as every movie always having one new crazy space alien.The second is context. Context is key to any story or scene. Without knowing what happened, without knowing the characterization, without knowing the background anyscene taken out of context can be made to look weird. What is this strange green frog thing? Why is this creepy old man cackling with lighting coming from his fingers? Why does the Supreme Chancelor always have a creepy smile?. Context makes all of these scenes make sense.And the final one is opinions. Opinions it is said are just like buts in that everyone has one and they all stink. Their will never be something that one-hundred percent of people agree one. Heck you can’t get people to agree to Pizza toppings. So in a Legends canon that has over 270+ books with hundreds of comics and dozens of games and a NEU that is quickly racking up book and comic counts no one is going to agree that everything released was great. And everything released isn't’ going to be great. Some will be better and some will be garbage. But we don’t throw it all out just because of one bad story. In fact sometimes stories that start off bad can redeem theirself like the second and third Aftermath books making up for the first one. Their will always be things that you may think are stupid but others will love to death.In fact many of the things I list on here I happen to also think they are cool and great while I know others may not. I like them because yes they are crazy but so is star wars itself. It's a story about a farm kid who grows up to be a magic space wizard and defeat a evil emperor. And also for some reason going back though and rereading the entire NEU canon has made me like the NEU a lot more than I did before I set out on this task.Also at 22 pages and growing this list is a little to big to put on Reddit. So I'm only going to put some of the more major things like the comics in this post. However I will link to the googledoc where you can read and comment about the rest of what I have listed. You can also just comment in this thread.http://ift.tt/2fskzDE: Before I get into comics I will say two things. The first is that the NEU has been really lax and unspecific about the timeline. This is so they will be able to keep making stories during say the rebellion era because their are only so many months in five years. But this will eventually lead to a major character being in two places at once or the NEU having to retcon an old story out of the timeline. The second thing is I won’t be mentioning the art though as many of us know that has been a major issue in some of the comics as well as the main SW series.Star Wars Adventures: I’m not going to make a bunch of posts on this one I just have something to say about this comic. This comic is supposed to be fun and silly with some of the stories being canon and some just being for fun. This is a lot like the old Tales series of comics in DH. The same on that things like Skippy the Jedi droid belonged to. IE fun non canon non serious stories.Star Wars (2014):Issue 2: Luke goes head to head with vader a few weeks after ANH and way before ESB http://ift.tt/2x6Cx8X Vader also holds up an entire AT-AT with the force and crushes it http://ift.tt/2fsCxpV 5: The Heroes and the ties apparently fly a few light years at sublight speeds http://ift.tt/2x6WA74 9: Presenting Grakkus the huge Hut with robotic hooks for legs http://ift.tt/2fslHXV 12: Stormtrooper guy is good enough with a saber to take down Magna Guards, droids created to kill Jedi Knights http://ift.tt/2x7LJdk The writer must be Oprah, you get a saber and you get a saber and everyone gets a saber http://ift.tt/2fskAaG 13: So how exactly does he hide all of those weapons in his chassis along with all the necessary parts to make him run http://ift.tt/2x5A12O 21: Presenting the Super Cool Awesome Radical squadron, each with a unique personality and matching accessories http://ift.tt/2fskAHI And yes that stormtrooper is using a lightsaber and no Vader doesn’t take it away from him http://ift.tt/2x6LPBG 22: Luke survives flying into a Star Destroyer and shooting its reactor http://ift.tt/2ftaoyU And I hope those Tie’s base is close since they are not hyperspace capable http://ift.tt/2x7a8Q0 23: A race to see who captains the Star Destroyer, yes how very adult and in character for them http://ift.tt/2fskHmC And Han runs Leia down with a speeder bike http://ift.tt/2x6pftf and http://ift.tt/2fskBeK And a better picture of SCAR squad now with lightsabers http://ift.tt/2x5UOU4 27: On this planet people eat magic blue space rocks to have telekinetic powers http://ift.tt/2ftBtSB Also the magic blue space rocks are immune to the force http://ift.tt/2x6mwQo 29: Ohh wait the magic blue space rocks are part of a giant living blue mountain that can use the force http://ift.tt/2fskBLM And get up and walk around http://ift.tt/2x6FN4m And it can talk http://ift.tt/2fskCzk 30: Yoda can pick up and move a whole mountain with the force http://ift.tt/2x5UIvs 31: Zombie Aliens http://ift.tt/2fsz4HE 32: Sucking the force from someone using a hookah http://ift.tt/2x6CnOV Mind controlling parasite bug that is somehow controlled by the queen http://ift.tt/2fsjMmm The queen is able to disappear into pixels and reappear somewhere else http://ift.tt/2x769mI Creepio sounds more like something out of a fanfic or a youtube fanfilm than something I would expect from a licensed comic http://ift.tt/2fskDDo 33: I guess the AT-AT just walked across the seabed and is waterproof and can withstand underwater pressures http://ift.tt/2x6Zl8x 36: R2 alone and without help will take out multiple squads of troopers, run circles around the ship, free 3PO and outfly vader http://ift.tt/2fsjMTo Also the heroes are here now so how does this fit in with the timeline of the other issues http://ift.tt/2x6P10b 1: Palpatine is shown with his real face when all other media says they only show aged up clone wars era pictures to the public (it's even a plot point in Lost Stars) http://ift.tt/2fskEqW Vader (2015):Issue 4: Geonosian Queen pooping out B1 Battledroids http://ift.tt/2x6ZlFz 5: Giant flying space whales with lasers and cities on their backs and people living inside them http://ift.tt/2fsjNqq 6: Karbin the Mon Cal Grievous wannabe http://ift.tt/2x5UGUm And Cylo V who can assume another cloned body when he dies and grafted alien organs on his face http://ift.tt/2fsjNXs Down: Vader takes out a whole squadron of X-Wings without getting hit http://ift.tt/2x6mtUP and controls dozens of torpedos while flying and dodging http://ift.tt/2fskEXY then Vader uses the force to take out a whole squadron of Y-wings from the ground http://ift.tt/2x6CxWv before being surrounded by two battalions http://ift.tt/2fskFv0 and takes them and their armor support out by himself http://ift.tt/2x6Zjxr 13: All of them http://ift.tt/2fskG22 15: Vader destroys a shuttle's engines mid flight http://ift.tt/2x7LJtQ 17: Subs that can drive around in lakes of magma like it's an ocean http://ift.tt/2fskGz4 21: Flying space whales with lasers on their heads fighting Star Destroyers http://ift.tt/2x6ZokJ 23: Cylo has an override on Vaders suit that can shut it down http://ift.tt/2fskwrE 24: Cylo has more clones than the Emperor ever did http://ift.tt/2x6Vqst And Doctor Aphra is able to sneak into the Emperor’s chambers without the Emperor sensing her http://ift.tt/2ft8fmT 1: Vader uses the force to float himself on top of the lava http://ift.tt/2x6Zp8h Vader (2017):Issue 4: Vader uses the force and a droid to repair himself from what should have been a fatal fall http://ift.tt/2ft57Ya Then he uses the force to flood a whole town http://ift.tt/2fskwrE 5: Yet more crystal bleeding, this time with force visions http://ift.tt/2x6ZpFj And the whole world goes crazy when you bleed a crystal http://ift.tt/2ftzvBy Aphra:Issue 5: The Immortal Rur used the force to upload himself into a computer much like Callista Ming http://ift.tt/2x6Zqcl 6: And then he downloads himself into the droids, or at least takes control of them http://ift.tt/2fsCxGr 7: Open surgery on a Wookiee implanting a hive mind parasite http://ift.tt/2x6ZqJn Citadel: Creepy gothic wannabe space vamps http://ift.tt/2fslIer Said creepy space vamps sucking the life energy from a whole city and feeding on it http://ift.tt/2x6Zrgp and this feeding scene http://ift.tt/2ftaoPq 8: Just this entire scene and arc http://ift.tt/2x5UHaS 11: The Immortal Rur with sabers in a droid body http://ift.tt/2fskHD8 1: A giant walking killer whale http://ift.tt/2x6Zskt of Dathomir:Issue 4: Talzan appears from the spirit world again going against georges “no sith/darkside ghosts” rule http://ift.tt/2ftAnX3 4: Mother Talzan possess Dooku, at least palps only possessed empty clones… Mother Talzan devours Dooku’s lifeforce to come back to life http://ift.tt/2x6ZsRv Mother Talzan back from the dead in a new body http://ift.tt/2fsjPP4 And this looks more like an anime fight than a fight between force users http://ift.tt/2x6mubl Maul (2017):Issue 3: Vorhdelio the giant space tick http://ift.tt/2fs3LwH Empire:Issue 2: Sentient droids that carry out the emperor's plans after death http://ift.tt/2x7jzzf 2: Another Imperial superweapon, this one causes storms on planets http://ift.tt/2fsSo7W 4: Magic force trees http://ift.tt/2x6Ztox Dameron:Issue 3: Giant space kaiju http://ift.tt/2fsIFhI Giant space kaiju randomly fighting another giant space kaiju http://ift.tt/2x6n5cR Giant space kaiju anime fight http://ift.tt/2fsjQT8 5: R5 unit performing a spinning drop kick on a security guard http://ift.tt/2x6ZtVz 6: Carrion spike flies undamaged though a space station http://ift.tt/2fsjRqa I guess it's the new Sun Crusher since it comes out undamaged http://ift.tt/2x6ZusB 8: So what is this an At-At interceptor http://ift.tt/2fsIGCi 13: Mr Bones is back after having his CPU and memory irreplaceable destroyed in Empire's End http://ift.tt/2x6ZuZD And an At-St tie ugly now as well, gee I’m glad the NEU isn’t doing like Legends and making silly ship designs http://ift.tt/2fsjRXc Annual: Poe shoots a mine from point blank range and survives http://ift.tt/2x6ZvwF 1: Phasma’s cape is apparently blaster proof http://ift.tt/2fsjSue Solo:Issue 3: Leia called Airen Crakken Admiral after introducing him as a general in Issue 1 http://ift.tt/2x6Zw3H 4: Selonians go from giant space otters to giant space tigers http://ift.tt/2fsIH9k 5: Interdimensional Space Jellyfish takes out a Star Destroyer http://ift.tt/2x6ZwAJ Interdimensional fleet of spaceships from another dimension http://ift.tt/2fsjTyi Ancient space gate that allows instant teleportation http://ift.tt/2x7LJKm Leia:Issue 5: Leia gives away her title to some random pilot she has known for two days http://ift.tt/2fsjU5k 1: Little ugly flying pixie goblins http://ift.tt/2x6Zxoh And cloned alien panther people http://ift.tt/2fsIIdo 4: Clone space panthers possessed by a sith relic http://ift.tt/2x6ZxVj Stars: “Three weeks into her service aboard the Devastator...or so they had all believed until recently, when the rebels had struck at them from a hidden base….Although the specifics were not widely discussed, Ciena had gathered that the intel had to do with the plans for a new, secret Imperial space station.” Although Ciena was at the Battle of Scariff and is a bridge officer she apparently doesn’t remember being there or seeing the DS. And since it's talked about as hearsay then neither do any of the other 45k crewmen aboard“Thane managed to respond to this politely, instead of with the scorn it deserved. “Sir, with all due respect, nobody has ever captured a Star Destroyer. And don’t tell me it’s because no one has ever tried.” He says when the OT are involved in a large operation to take a Star Destroyer in the main Star Wars comic. And no “the story hadn’t been written yet” isn’t a ok response since people don’t seem to want to accept that when it comes to cloning or the clone wars in the Thrawn Trilogy among other things.Aftermath:Dengar guffaws. “You little scrap-muncher. I was putting away bounties while you were still in your space diapers.” Just that a book as important as this one was used the words “Space diapers” Dear god was their a lot of slang in this book. And maybe it's because i listened to the audio book but a lot of it sounded so cheesy and strange. Especially the kids. I mean yeah its world building but it was just kind of breaking how much slang would go into the vocabulary. Plus things like smoothies and regular dogs and gerbils existing.“Who calls himself Mercurial Swift” Want ot make fun of silly names there you go.“I call him Mister Bones” A battle droid built by a kid that basically half slapstick comdey and half HK-47 ripoff.Aftermath Life Debt:“Seventy-five percent of the Star Destroyers in service before Endor can capably be tracked to similar fates: destroyed, captured, lost in confirmable if curious ways.” These are the ships not lost as part of the Emperor's plans. So in the span of less than a year the imperial navy loses 18750 ships if the canon 25000 ISD ship numbers are to be believed. That's not to mention 5 SSD’s one of which was taken by pirates.“Admiral Rax was very clear on that point. He said that they were not to commit resources protecting the throneworld. The ISB is controlling this world—and the navy doesn’t want any part of it.” Even with Rax knowing about the Emperor’s plans the rest of the imperial navy or some of the rogue factions that are talked about in the beginning of the book should be guarding Coruscant. You know, the one planet that says “you rule this you rule the Galaxy”“Zher/Zhe” Just every mention of ZherAftermath Empire’s End:“Eight hours since Mom, Jas, and Bones jettisoned themselves towards Jakku. Eight hours since the Moth jumped into hyperspace” Eight hours from Jakku to Chandrilla. Eight hours to cross more than half the Galaxy in their ship. The author basically teleports them their and opens up the question of why it takes any time at all to get anywhere.“After the other after the other. Showers of sparks. Searing magma line of melted metal. It remembers an incongruous memory. Too: Those beams of light held in its own hands. Not two hands but four. Spinning about. Vwom-vwom-vwom.” MR Bones has the memories, training, and abilities of Grievous now. With no mention of how he got them. Or how it's possible since a brain was one of the few non cybernetic parts of Grievous."The face of Emperor Sheev Palpatine looks back upon him. That face flickers across the glass bulge of the droid’s mask. It is artifice, but even as a proxy it is close enough to the real thing to haunt him. Other sentinels were merely messengers: They appeared, gave commands, and were gone. But these, the ones reserved for Rax and their master plan, are smarter. They’re sentient.” Sentient droids that have the face of the emperor and ferry out messages. Maybe the writer doesn’t realize what Sentient means and how that changes the droid game. And while cool it's still a silly concept.“Iggs lifts his chin with pride. “Anklebiter Brigade. Or part of it.” A group of kids are able to break into the Imperial palace and end up saving Mas Amedda“The well is a channel bored through the schist and mantle of Jakku, drilled so deep it touches the center of the world. The well glows with wisps of blue mist winding up through orange firelight. The light pulses and throbs like a living thing.” Their is just so so much wrong with the idea of an open channel being bored into the core of a planet. IF someone had the time and manpower to do it a project like that would need to be watched over carefully if you don’t want it to have catastrophic effects. And yet this is just a hole in the ground.“The world shudders. A fierce growl grumbles up through the bore, and the orange light glows suddenly red—the blue threads of mist turn black. Palpatine was right. The artifacts contain a great deal of energy. And now they have dropped into the core of this world. With the well open, that energy will vent.” Well at least it's not a superweapon I guess? But wrapping someone in a bloody banner, giving them a holocron, a ancient mask, and a lance adn throwing them down into the core of a planet is enough to make it explode? Ohh and then somehow there is a machine that is able to stop the core from exploding? I’m sorry but none of this makes any kind of sense.Dark Disciple:“No. An ingredient. That piece of the Sleeper is boiled with water from the pool and other items to create the Water of Life. I was told the Sleeper was very strong-willed...He felt this impossibly old creature stir from its cavern, where it had rested and dreamed dreams unimaginable” To make the Nightsisters magic juju water Quinlin has to summon the star wars version of the “deep old ones” then dominate its mind and kill it. Ohh also the creature is strong in the force and can cause illusions and the like.Lords of the Sith: “The queen lunged toward his Master and he flipped backward, landing a few paces away. Vader jumped to his feet, spinning out of the way of her attempt to stab him with the chitinous spike at the end of one of her tentacles. He found himself face-to-face with five lyleks, all of them hissing, tentacles squirming.” Palpatine proceeds to fight the Queen Lylek (Towering bug monster with dozens of arms and tentacles) and its spawn in a battle and with abilities that seem more suited to an MMO than a SW book. In fact it reminds me of a couple SWTOR missions.Smuggler’s Run: “Her engines were overpowered for her size, but her controls were so sensitive as to be paranoid, which meant she was temperamental and needed a pilot and copilot to manage her in flight. Even then she was liable to slip out of control if both operators didn’t know exactly what they were doing.” And yet Rey, by herself and the first time in the cockpit, is able to fly the ship like an ace pilot even maneuvering it through the confines of a SSD and doing a backflip to set up a perfect shot for Finn.Ahsoka: “Dark crystals were made, too, but not in that holy place. They were plundered from their rightful bearers and corrupted by the hands that stole them. Even rock could be changed by the power of the Force, bleeding alterations until their color was the deepest red.” The concept of the crystals being able to bleed and change colours based on the force users alignment. Some people love this some hate it (I personally like it but it's still in the weird/strange category) Also this is after the book talks about the crystals being alive and able to call to the jedi across space.“They would need more work, but they were hers. When she turned them on, they shone the brightest white.” First we had black sabers in TCW and now this and rebels give us white sabers. This is the same type of thing Legends was called Fanfiction for doing. People complain about the different types of sabers or having more than just red/green/blue. Except they never went as far as to create white and black sabers.Phasma: “Siv, the detraxors,” she murmured…. The prayer said, she removed the machine from her bag. The bulb, tubes, and needlelike siphon were already fitted with a fresh leather skin, ready to collect the nutrients from Egil’s body, without which the Scyre folk would become diseased and weak. Siv used this essence to create an oily substance called oracle salve, which served many uses.” A machine that turns bodies into husks in a few moments and uses the fluids in their bodies to make some sort of magical cure all.Leia Princess of Alderaan: “Takeoff in ten, Your Highness. The trip shouldn’t take more than a few hours.” From Alderaan in the core to Crait in the outer rim in a matter of a few hours.“Apparently tails were in vogue on Coruscant at the moment. Extra, bioengineered body parts never lasted more than a few months, and in Leia’s opinion they never quite looked right.” Apparently they can just bioengineer and grow exotic body parts super easily and on full grown humans. And the more elite people on coruscant run around in tails and ears like it's a furry convention.“and see Leia and her friends lounging by the hearth with oversized mugs of mocoa.” Hot chocolate exists in this universe as well as Legends where people seemed to hate it existing for some unknown reason. I mean if they have coffee then why not hot chocolate?Movies:The Clone Wars Movie: Just everything involving Ziro the hutt, all of the baby hutt poop and fart jokes.The Force Awakens: Starfighters waiting in hyperspace before coming out to attack Starkiller base when the shield drops .Something we have never seen in any Star Wars media and would totally rewrite the very basics of how hyperspace works and interstellar warfare. Starkiller being another death star.Being able to see its beams on planets in other star systems when it fires. And them being bright and close enough for them to be seen on the planet's surface during the day time. Being able to watch the beam go by in slow motion from a ship.Starkiller base eating a sun but not being engulfed in darkness. Also does it move each time it fires or not. Plus their is just the fact that in the 20 odd years between series the much much smaller and less equipped and less financed force was able to hollow out an entire planet, come up with the tech, and use it as a weapon all while building up their own fleet . This is a project magnitudes larger than the first death star's constructionKylo’s three bladed sword.The Rathtar creature.And while I love Rey and think their are good reasons she does so much so fast there is still the fact that in one movie she does things it took Luke three to do.Maz who reads like an OC fanfic character who just happens to be as old and wise as yoda while being force sensitive and having luke's lightsaber.Going to and coming out of hyperspace inside a gravity well, including Han coming out in between the shield and planet. What happened to it not being like dusting crops?Kylo stopping the blaster bolt in mid air, if it was done in Legends people would be saying it was more proof of “power creep”. Yet here it is hailed as an awesoum new use of the force and showing of Kylo’s power.The opening crawl saying that the republic is supporting the resistance while bloodlines and the poe comics show that they are not.The Last Jedi: A 60km long battle ship called the “Mega Class”. A pink haired NR admiral who looks like she would be more at home in the Hunger Games capitol. The Praetorian guards sword turns into a whip plus the fact that all the guards have super unique weapons and armor, hmmm I wonder why.Rogue One: The Bor Gullet, the strange squid like creature that can invade people's brains and read their memories. The U-wing jumping to lightspeed on the surface of the planet as it's blowing up around them.The over the top fanservice of seeing the two aliens who pick a fight with Luke in the cantina on Jedah just hours before it blows up.Fleets being able to move across the galaxy in minutes including fighters being scrambled and making it to a different planet to attack a target in less than an hour after being called in. Also in the climax we see the same thing again except instead of a single small squadron it's an entire battle group.The AT-ATC. Hey guys let's just cut out the middle of an AT-AT put a very earth like cargo container in the middle of it and call it a new vehicle.TV:Star Wars Rebels (2014): Before we begin there's something I want to point out. Many people say that Legends was bad because too few people were key to to many events. Yet in Rebels this one small rebel faction has been the cause behind the Rebellion gaining every one of its fighters, bringing in new capital ships, and meeting among others Obi-wan, Yoda (kind of hard to tell Luke he is the last when Yoda talks to two of them), Leia, Bail, and Mon Mothma along with Vader and Tarkin.Spark of Rebellion (1x01) : Bo-Rifles with its amazing ability to be both a shock stick and a blaster. An Energy slingshot with its plasma gumball pellets. The fact that Jedi survived the Purge and that their are darksiders hunting them down which was seen as a bad thing in Legends. The Inquisitors spinning lightsaber which doesn’t really make sense given how lightsabers are supposed to work. The monstrosity that are the wookiees and the child wookiee in this episode.Droids in Distress (1x03): What a small galaxy. C-3PO and R2D2 get to be the first of practically the entire ANH cast that our heroes meet. Everyone even non jedi can apparently jump and fall great distances without getting hurt in this show. I’m just going to put it down once here but there will be many many times this series where and AT-AT, AT-ST/DP, or tie shoots point blank at the heroes feet and they just get knocked down with no injuries.Fighter Flight (1x03) Ezra rides on the top of a Tie Fighter while it is in flight at full speed and standing up straight without using magnetic clamps on his shoes or using the force to hold him down. His hair doesn’t even get messed up.Rise of the Old Masters (1x04) The Inquisitors spinning lightsaber which doesn’t really make sense given how lightsabers are supposed to work. The monstrosity that are the wookiees and the child wookiee in this episode. Kannan being able to catch Ezra with the force after he fell such a great distance.Empire Day (1x08) Yet another new Tie variant. Wasn’t that a problem people have with Legends? To many variants on things like Ties?Path of the Jedi (1x11) The first of two times that Yoda will speak to Kannan and Ezra. Puts a hamper on Yoda’s “Last of the Jedi” speech to Luke. Unless we just want to handwave it away and say he was pulling an Obi-wan and speaking from a certain point of view. And the birth of the Lightsaber-gun (I guess this is FF8 now) that looks like a staple gun. This NEU sure loves it strange lightsaber designs.Idiot’s Array (1x12) Introducing Lando, yet another OT character the heroes just happen to run into.Fire Across the Galaxy (1x13) Ahsoka survived the purge. This isn’t just some no name jedi like Kannan who survived the purge this is Anakin’s own padawan. And as we see later she will have special unique silver sabers. Because this NEU loves its different saber designs and colours.The Lost Commanders (2x03) Three old clones using an AT-TE to fish in the middle of a desert for giant worms that live underground. Also Zeb gets swallowed by said worm and is none the worse for it.Wings of the Master (2x07) Phoenix Squadron brings in the B-wing because they are responsible for all the rebellions fighter/bombers. And this B-wing apparently has a mini death star type laser that can take out larger ships all by itself in one hit. Also this new canon likes to release all hte ships one on top of another compared to legends that at least spaced them out. This just raises questions of where the B-wings and Interceptors/Defenders were in RO, ANH, and ESB.Princess on Lothal (2x12) And here the team meets Princess Leia Organa, yet another OT hero. Also she sees Kanan and Ezra use the force and lightsabers.The Protector of Concord Dawn (2x13) Concord Dawn has ⅓ of its mass blown into space and is surrounded by those asteroids and the planet still has a breathable atmosphere and people living on it.Legends of the Lasat (2x14) The bo-rifle and a stick with a crystal on it make magic yellow electricity that picks out a planet on a holographic map of the Galaxy. Then they have to fly by a giant glowing exploded star cluster and are guided out by everyone meditating on the bo-rifle and it flying them through the maze. The magic electricity is also able to activate the hyperdrive and take them through the cluster even though the mass shadows should pull them out. Also the hyperspace is a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors instead of its blue-white.The Call (2x15) Space whale/squids that can fly in hyperspace and apparently taught the early explorers of the galaxy how to use hyperspace as well. Also Ezra, Kanan, and Sabine conduct a HALO jump from the upper atmosphere with the two jedi stopping their fall using the force. Also I guess this small planetoid is like Kessel and has oxygen generators because people can walk around without helmets. And at the end of the episode Ezra and Kanan walk around on the outside of the Phantom in deep space in just a stormtrooper helmet.The Forgotten Droid (1x19) Chopper’s jets must have unlimited fuel and thrust. Not to mention he can apparently use them to do flips in the air as well as other crazy stunts. Yes it is “for kids” but so were the droid comics.The Secret of Chopper Base (1x20) Giant spiders that are apparently tough enough to be hit with full force blaster bolts from the Phantoms cannons at point blank range and not be hurt at all. Their gooey web can also apparently hold down a spaceship that has enough thrust to escape the planet's gravity.Twilight of the Apprentice (1x21) Kanan and co. fall a dozen or more stories to the ground without getting hurt or using the force to slow their fall. Now the spinning sabers apparently work as sabre copters and let the inquisitors fly around on them. They also have spinning metal blades on the rim because being spinning lightsabers that let you fly apparently wasn’t enough. Maul is back, back again. The guy just can not and will not stay dead. Also apparently the sith temple is a ancient superweapon much like the DS. The NEU likes superweapons as well as Legends did. Ahsoka survives her fight with vader after being locked in a crumbling temple with him and no escape route. Plus both survive being at the center of an explosion that is shown ripping up the ground. And Maul survives his fall to fly away at the end. Guess this new canon can’t kill people either.Steps into Shadow (3x01) We have Phoenix Squad stealing Y-wings because again they are responsible for every Rebellion starfighter. We also get the Bendu, some sort of near immortal force using creature that looks like a giant ox and is immensely powerful in the force. Also we will later learn can conjure force storms and lighting to target fighters. Also unlike many think the Bendu is not the final say on the light and the dark but just another force user. And the Ghost and the rebel fleet are able to make it from their base to the station in a matter of hours because distance and time mean nothing in the NEU.The Holocrons of Fate (3x03) Apparently now the Sith and Jedi holocrons can fly apart and come together like a jigsaw puzzle in an amazing show of light and grant the user with force visions and knowledge. Because yeah, I’m sure the two orders who hated each other designed their most sacred relics to respond and work together like that.The Antilles Extraction (3x04) Interceptors are now apparently a common site three years before Yavin. Also a single interceptor and its blasters are enough to rip through the hull of a GR-75 medium transport, shields and all, and cause it to blow up in spectacular fashion. Also here our heroes meet yet more of the OT heroes as they set out to rescue Hobbie and Wedge.Imperial Super Commandos (3x07) The supercommando’s jetpacks apparently have limitless fuel, the speed of a fighter jet, and an extremely high flight ceiling. The same goes for Chopper’s booster rocket.And Inside Man (3x10) Apparently AT-AT’s can get up and lay down like horses to squish unsuspecting rebels. Also the Tie-Defender is introduced way way before it was in legends. Which isn’t that bad but a lot of people seem to have a thing against their being so many TIE variants.Visions and Voices (3x11) in the nightsisters lair Maul tells Ezra he has studied the ways of the Nightsisters and come up with a spell that suits their needs. This spell involves pouring magick water that focuses their power from an altar into glasses. Maul explains that they have to drink the potion in order to access this knowledge. Ezra insists that Maul go first. Maul complies and tells Ezra that he must drink all of the magick water for the potion to work. Ezra and Maul's eyes shoot out radiant green beams of light that form a green cloud. Yay weird green voodoo space magic. Also we have two spirits of fallen nightsisters appear again breaking the “no sith/darksider ghosts” rule. These ghosts also possess Sabine and Kanan.Warhead (3x14) In this episode we have a very acrobatic assassin droid that is like a mix of mister fantastic and a pair of salad tongs.Trials of the Darksaber (3x15) Because now everyone in the NEU can use a lightsaber as long as they get some basic training...Its becoming less a weapon of the jedi and a weapon of who ever took a fencing class once in college.Secret Cargo (3x18) And today's OT character of choice is counciler Mon Mothma herself.Double Agent Droid (3x19) Hera and Chopper destroy an Imperial vessel by.. Reversing a data feed to their memory core with the data overload causing the surveillance vessel to explode. Also AP-5 turns the show into a musical while floating in space.Twin Suns (3x20) In this episode Ezra will meet Obi-wan and possibly see luke in the distance. Yep, except for Han that is every single OT character at this point.Zero Hour (3x21) The Bendu can disappear and turn into clouds creating a giant force storm. He can also use the lighting from the storm to hit everything from troopers to walkers to ships and fighters. Also again we see ships covering vast distances between systems in a matter of hours and being able to return back just as fast.Only thing not on this reddit list (but in the googledoc) are the TCW episodes that give us things like Scottish lemurs, nightsisters and their voodo magic and zombies, mortis, brain worms, the Zilla beast, and a number of other things. And yes I am counting TCW as part of the NEU since it was made by Lucas and besides the movie was the only thing carried over from Legends to the NEU. via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2ykmoKG
