Our next spotlight is the Liberation of Coruscant (the capital planet of both the former Republic and of the Galactic Empire) from the Empire in 7 ABY.

Why is this important?

While the Battle of Endor cleared the way for the establishment of the New Republic and the beginning of the end of the Empire, the Galactic Civil War wasn’t yet over. The celebrations and uprisings upon hearing of the Alliance victory at Endor were quickly put down, and much of the galaxy remained under an oppressive regime. With the death of the Emperor, various Imperial warlords battled for power and sought to declare themselves the successor to Palpatine or to at least amass enough territory to prevent the New Republic from gaining a foothold. On Coruscant, that person was Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard (“Iceheart”).

As the seat of power for both the old Republic and the Empire, Coruscant had important strategic and symbolic value for the New Republic. The New Republic also reasoned that the sooner Coruscant could be taken, the faster the remainder of the Empire would fall.

Equally important is the way in which Coruscant was taken — not by the straightforward bombardment one might expect from a power like the Empire, but a combination of creative strategies involving Rebel spies, Black Sun gangsters, and Rogue Squadron pilots.

How does it happen?

As Han would say, this is where the fun begins. The major events take place in Michael Stackpole’s novel X-Wing: Wedge’s Gamble, although parts are referred to in the following book X-Wing: The Krytos Trap (turns out “It’s a trap!” Isn’t just a saying for Bespin or Endor).

The New Republic gets things started by releasing 16 Black Sun criminals who were being held on Kessel and transporting them to Coruscant to distract the Imperials. Meanwhile, members of Rogue Squadron sneak onto Coruscant under various cover identities (Wedge Antilles and Pash Cracken as Imperial officers, Erisi Dlarit and Corran Horn as an Kuat noble and her attendant, other members of the squadron traveling with Mirax Terrik in the Pulsar Skate) and meet up with Rebel Intelligence contacts on planet (including Winter Retrac and Iella Wessiri). Their goal is to sabotage the planetary defenses long enough to enable a successful attack from the New Republic forces.

Their first sabotage attempt involves trying to insert sliced computer cores into all the major computers that control systems on Coruscant, to enable them to take control of the planet’s shields and bring them down when the New Republic forces arrive. While the initial part of the plan is successful, they are sold out to the Imperials by one of the Black Sun operatives on the team and have to go to plan B (and reveal Tycho Celchu, who was on-planet secretly to help with hideouts and espionage).

Their next attempt involves using a series of solar mirrors to cause a super storm — a huge electrical storm that disrupts power to the shields and enables Corran Horn to fly in and destroy the substation controlling the shields. That attempt is successful, and the New Republic attacks from the air and lands ground forces to take the planet. There are several tough battles on the ground, and General Han Solo sends in a special force led by Luke Skywalker to help take the Imperial Palace, where members of the Imperial High Command have barricaded themselves. The New Republic forces prevail, and the capital planet is now in the hands of the New Republic.

What’s next?

The liberation of Coruscant sets up several plots and themes that carry into other Legends materials, such as the Krytos virus that targets non-humans, Tycho Celchu being framed for murder, mistrust between humans and non-humans, Ysanne Isard as a major Imperial villain, and even the use of starfighter pilots in more of a spy or commando fashion rather than only in straight battles.

I hate how every single woman in the series is Corran Horny for Corran's Horn

this man is as bland as oatmeal on saltines covered in flour

[ap-trash-compactor]

Making Erisi Dlarit a villain is misogyny. Making every woman in the galaxy hot for Coran is also misgony.

[captaingondolin]

erisi does not exist in the golden horn universe

2/3 wait no

3/3 she’s there but ONLY in the context that she’s a member of the spy club but secretly she made her own unofficial spy club whose only intent is to infiltrate the ACTUAL spy club

how could i miss this fine addition to the golden horn universe

[askroguesquadron]

We don’t think she’d be okay with this arrangement.

[thestarbirdfromtheashes]

As if 2020 hasn’t been bad enough, as if I’m not worried enough about Andor, now i gotta worry about a Rogue Squadron movie too and how badly Disney is gonna fuck it up?

lIsten folks. In 1997 when I first got into SW, my heart debated fiercely about who was #1 Bae: Luke or Wedge. Eventually Wedge won out, although lbr, Luke is ALWAYS BAE. I dreamed of the dae when there was a Rogue Squadron serial or smth, and I loved the Stackpole/Allston (RIP) books. I wrote hundreds of thousands of words of self-insert RS fic that can never see the light of day. I have ALL the comics. Wedge is like...the greatest.

But now we’re getting a movie with NEW canon, which means, instead of

Iella Wessiri

we get

Nora Wexley

Instead of

BAMF

we get

“Move AP-5 I really gotta go potty!!!!!” ad nauseum THX FILONI

Instead of “I HUNT DOWN AND KILL THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO DESTROYED MY PARENTS AND MY LIFE”

we get

“IDK, I voluntairly sign up for Imperial academy life? 🙂🤷‍♂️”

Instead of Tycho Celchu we get

YEAH THAT

instead of

“Do I detect a trace of Corellia?”

we get

regular american guy voice THX FILONI

Wedge is now canonically comic relief in SW and Hera’s duckling, which YES I LOVE HERA OKAY DON’T @ ME but IT USED TO BE THAT WEdge was just a BAMF on his OWN. He made his way in the galaxy ON HIS OWN and just WAS AWESOME. I DON’T LIKE WHAT THE DID WITH HIM. [insert dawsoncry.gif]

SPOILER ALERT NOR DOES ANY OTHER OLD SCHOOL WEDGE FAN.

I want nasty-ass not-at-all-believable Erisi Dlarit and her eye-fucking Corran Horn drama. (I will pass on Corran tho thx) I want Tycho. I want General Salm, Nawara, Ooryl, and Rhysati. I want COMPETENT Wedge. I WANT IELLA GODDAMMIT. I LOVE THEM. (I don’t want their kids.) I also want Wedge’s sister Syal and the DrAmA of her boning the Empire’s best pilot bec ZOMG that’s fantastic!!!!

On the bright side: they finally hired a wumun director, GO DISNEY.

[maryellencarter]

so @corelliaxdreaming​ put 48 star wars characters into a hunger games simulator, and the results were entertaining (Snap Wexley fell out of a tree onto Hobbie and killed them both! WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY TO ME), so I was like “I will do the thing also!” So here is the link to the generator, and here is my cast list:

Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson, Hobbie Klivian, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Corran Horn, Erisi Dlarit, Mara Jade, Kirney Slane, Myn Donos, Face Loran, Piggy saBinring, Ton Phanan, Asyr Sei’lar, Gavin Darklighter, Mirax Terrik, Iella Wessiri, Kell Tainer, Falynn Sandskimmer, Shalla Nelprin, Tyria Sarkin...

...that’s 24, I’m not sure I *have* 48 characters if I stick to pilots and pilot-adjacent characters? It seems weird to throw in, like, Thrawn or somebody...

...Plourr Ilo, Koyi Komad, Xarcce Huwla, Dia Passik, Nawara Ven, Rhysati Ynr, Lujayne Forge, Inyri Forge, Poe Dameron, Squeaky, Pash Cracken, Castin Donn...

...jesus. This is hard fucking work...

...Elassar Targon, Dorset Konnair, Jesmin Ackbar, Snap Wexley, Jek Porkins, Biggs Darklighter, Bror "Bro" Jace, Tetengo Noor, Target Nu, Tal'dira, Runt Ekwesh, Sharr Latt. HOLY FUCKING MACARONI I DID IT!

Stay tuned for updates? :-) "star wars hunger games" to block/track the tag

[withastinginthetail]

so, I made a mix for Erisi Dlarit, because I'm apparently totally weird about what Star Wars characters I bond with*: 

you are telbun, you understand by withastinginthetail.

tracklist: 1. "Poor Little Rich Girl," Suede feat. Raissa / 2. "Blind," Placebo / 3. "We Need Medicine," the Fratellis / 4. "Before Today," Everything But the Girl / 5. "Get Your Way," Jamie Cullum / 6. "Valentine," Fiona Apple / 7. "Popular," the Veronicas / 8. "Bad Boyfriend," Garbage / 9. "Something I Need," One Republic / 10. "Taxi Ride," Tori Amos / 11. "Fancy," Yeah Yeah Yeahs / 12. "She's Lost Control," Joy Division / 13. "The Bitter End," Placebo

*TL;DR explanation: I've always rooted for the Empire in Star Wars. Not because they're at all good, but because when I was six or seven and saw my first Star Wars movie, I was genre-savvy enough that I looked at the big Star Destroyer full of fighters and trained soldiers and menace rolling on the tiny corvette of terrified rebels and said "Oh, those poor people. They're never going to win."

So I've always been interested in portrayals of people that work with the Empire that are a little more nuanced than the usual "LOOK AT ME TWIRL MY MUSTACHE" or "will defect the minute Rebels knock on my door and ask me if I've found Space Jesus," and I found the fourth Rogue Squadron book- with Erisi and Fliry Vorru openly working for the Empire and openly clashing with Isard's increasingly faulty leadership- very satisfying in that respect.

I hadn't particularly liked Erisi before- she didn't get much characterization beyond "I'm rich, I'm here for some reason, and I'm in love with Corran Horn," and Corran in turn didn't seem to think much about her beyond "Possible one night stand" and "Whoa, she's comfortable around rich people things and I'm not, ABORT ABORT ABORT." But by the end of that book, I was actually hoping she'd make it through and find her way to Pellaeon or something, but then BOOM. 

And "who cares what she wanted"? Damn, Corran, that's cold.

[womenofstarwars]

I have no obligation to save the stupid from themselves. Even if we had given them bacta, another crisis would have wiped them out. The fact that they refused to face reality does not make it incumbent upon me to shield them from the disaster they so fervently court.

Erisi Dlarit

[girlbossk]

i am tired and bored and haven’t started krytos trap yet so i am just going to give my thoughts on each rogue and where they stand as the spy: 

wedge antilles is definitely not the spy. he is too good and famous and also doesn’t have the circumstancialness to be the spy? i think? i’m very tired & i love wedge so yeah. but wedge knows all the rogue plans once they start planning so like,, he’d tell them the plans,, 

tycho celchu he likely is the spy based on the way the series is setting things up, but i do not think he’s the spy. even though isard said he was. but isard said he was while knowing corran thought he was. i don’t think it’s him but it could be. 

corran horn he’s been captured. it ain’t him. 

bror jace dead. ain’t him. 

pash cracken  logically, since he was not in the first book, it cannot be him. however, he chose not to go flying with corran on a course that would’ve likely resulted in corran not being captured had he been there, he implicated tycho to his dad, and he had ample opportunity to sabotage corran’s z-95. however he isn’t the spy because i say so and i am very good at judging character and i love him. 

erisi dlarit  i dislike her, i distrust her, she has motive (as they said tycho did too) for taking out bror and also motive for taking out the rest of the squadron, probably, if promised bacta deals or whatever. she had means due to, yknow, being in rogue squadron. and she had plenty of opportunity bc she knew the stuff was literally on coruscant was trusted etc. 

emtrey could be spy if he doesn’t know it 

rhysati ynr we don’t know much about her and so it COULD be her but like, why? she likes nawara. 

nawara ven no. he alien. no. 

aril nunb no. she alien. no. (also, she wasn’t in book 1)

ooryl qrygg no. he alien. no. 

riv shiel no. he alien. no. 

gavin darklighter i like gavin it aint him 

conclusion: it is probably erisi according to my usually accurate villain locator brain but i am biased in favor of tycho being good so it COULD be tycho
