The New Jedi Order: Star By Star This is a drawing to celebrate this amazing, hard and sad novel which is Star By Star.
this is the most ambitious drawing for me. I used a lot of medias: graphite pencils, alcohol markers, colored pencils, acrylic and Procreate. "Why do we have to die. For us to see the light?" Starvation, Aurora

Seeing Nom Anor's name abbreviated to "N. Anor" in the FFN listings completely cracks me up for some reason.

"You don't know these Jedi as I do," he said, to a former Jedi.
The phrase "mansplain manipulate manslaughter" was actually coined for Nom Anor

Currently thinking ab Traitor by Matthew Stover as a parallel to Dante’s Inferno
Both are about the main character going through the lands of the dead and emerging as new, enlightened people.
Vergere & Virgil are both guides through the land of the dead (their names are even similar!)
The embrace of pain is limbo
Lust, I don’t know, I’m looking for answers for this one.
Gluttony is the garden of the Dhuryams
Greed is the mouth/stomach/worm thing that those people are living in.
Anger is when Vergere ‘betrays’ Jacen to Nom Amir and the Vong warriors and he fills the room with force lighting
Heresy is when Jacen learns the truth that there is no light or dark side of the force
Violence is when Ganner fights hundreds of Vong at once.
Fraud is when Jacen fakes a defection to the side of the Vong.
Treachery is when Jacen and the world brain work together to subvert the Vong.
My main question now is, who are the three in the heads of the devil? One option is that the three are Jacen, Vergere and Nom Anor, as they are the three the book is primarily about, but this is the easy answer. Anakin Skywalker could be one of the heads, as he is famously a traitor, though he did not stay one his entire life. Jacen is likely one as well. Who else could be?

Again, suggested by my followers over on dA.
Nom Anor is from Star Wars, a Yuuzhan Vong extremist looking to wipe technology and most sentient species from the Galaxy.
Nom is now a elven supremacist in Shadowrun. He’s a cult leader, looking to take off all cyberware/technology from the Sixth World, though he has to problems with bioware.
Heavily scarred, he refused healing and used it as further reasoning why technology needed to be wiped from the planet.
Take a favorite character from one setting and adapt them into another

Force Heretic I: Remnant - Sean Williams & Shane Dix
Star Wars: The New Jedi Order book 15
Reread: Dec 2023
So there are basically three plot lines in this book. What Han, Leia, Jaina, Jag, and Tahiri are doing; what Luke, Mara, Jacen, Saba, and Tekli are doing; and what Nom Anor is doing on Coruscant/Yuuzhan'tar (RIP other Yuuzhan Vong characters but Nom is the only one that is important in this book). It's concise in the way that it didn't feel cumbersome. All three lines have structure and plot momentum.
Han and Leia's feels more worldbuildy and/or nostalgia round-uppy than the other two. Again it didn't feel forced, it flowed and fit the larger narrative, but it also was like let's answer some questions people might have about things that we haven't touched since their original books. For instance the question in this book was, what are the Yevetha doing during all this war and chaos? The answer is suffering genocide, because of course it is. The poor Yevetha, they never got to have the rehabilitation story so common in Star Wars.
Luke and Mara are off on a heroic quest to the Unknown Regions, but first a stop in the Imperial Remnant! Surprise it's under attack! Something I just learned about this story arc is that Ben was originally slated to go with them, but was cut out for some reason. I think it would have made sense to have the two Jedi Masters bring their kid along. Especially if they're heading out of the active war zone, even if that journey may be dangerous. I mean just put him in a capsule like Grogu in The Mandalorian, surely Lando could have built an indestructible one for them. You know since he's manufacturing war droids for the war effort and all.
Lastly Nom Anor is getting up to some shady shit. Basically he becomes involved in the brewing religious revolution that's brewing amongst the lower classes of the Yuuzhan Vong. A matter of pure survival for him, but a much needed influx of brains, strategy, and driving force for the heretic revolutionaries. The cracks have finally started to show up in the Yuuzhan Vong.
Luke's and Nom's plots are the main story for the NJO now. Leia's Galactic Alliance work is only tangentially important to the plot at large. Still all three weave together nicely. I think having both Williams and Dix work on this trilogy was a benefit to it.
Info: Del Rey; 2003

→ @skyhaunter said: who did this to you ?
He thanked the control over his emotions and his body that he had gained over the last year as he refrained from pulling his hand away from his grandfather's view. It would have given him away — what are you afraid of? You've got nothing to hide, do you? He forced himself to smile, to ignore the conflicting emotions flaring up in him and doing his best to remember what Vergere had taught him about CONTROL. " Oh it is nothing. Just a consequence of messing around on Coruscant for a year. Burned myself trying to open the door to mum and dad's old apartment, or what was left of it. Should have known I'd mess it up, Jaina was always better at these things than I am. " Why did he feel like he needed to LIE about the scars on his hands? His grandfather of all people would likely be able to tell exactly what had caused the burned pattern on his hands, maybe he would even be able to tell they were self inflicted.
His loss of control during his confrontation with Nom Anor in the depths of Coruscant had been his greatest shame. He had used the force with the intent to kill, with the DESIRE to make the Vong pay for what they had done to him and his home. It had been so easy to reach out into the dark and let it flow through him — it had been so freeing. Years of strict control and restraint, months of pain and emotional chaos gone in an instant. But the realisation of what he had done had brought all of these things back upon him with twice as much weight as before. Vergere had forced him to take responsibility for his actions, to acknowledge he had given in to something dark that had always resided WITHIN him. It was his duty now to never let it escape again. So when his grandfather asked him about something so dreadful, he could not answer.
" Don't worry about it, I know I must look like a Rancor's chew toy but none of it hurts anymore. Master Cilghal had a look at everything when I came back. She said everything's fine, she just can't do anything about the scars because its been too long. I don't mind though. I've had enough time to get USED to them. "

Resuming with commentary posts on my battles, am I, now? Why, yes; yes, I am.
The decision to make this video in the form and format in which it now exists came very sporadically in a sudden stroke of inspiration following roughly a year of inactivity from MERB, after which it was immediately and rapidly produced. As of MERB #51, the next battle was intended to simply be Petyr Baelish Vs. Bigfoot, which had been part of long-term plans for years beforehand as evidenced by the cryptid's silhouette teased among other characters at the end of MERB #42. The idea was amusing enough on paper, but come time to actually make the battle, I found Bigfoot exceedingly difficult to work with as a figure, leading me to keep putting off on writing it, and by July of 2022, the amount of time that had passed without a battle from me was well-past the point where the initial concept for MERB #52 wouldn't have cut it as a hiatus-breaker.
As such, I revamped plans while still refusing to outright go back on the in-video promises of both Littlefinger and Bigfoot, using V.V. Argost from The Secret Saturdays as a more specific and less nebulously-defined version of the latter while formatting the video as a meta-commentary on my own poor scheduling, using it to establish a roadmap going forward and adding additional characters whom I was interested in using yet had no solid conventional matchups for (or whose would-be matchups would be incompatible with others I was now planning in one particular case). The first MERB News is something of a pet personal favorite among my older videos, after all.
I remain extremely grateful to Justin Mike Buckner, now known as Mr. Jay, for playing Joseph Smith here in what is definitely a solid candidate for the single best verse in my entire series, partially on account of its unrivaled length but definitely solidified by his performance. Skeep Tieel as the Crypt-Keeper is another highlight in this lineup, and Finn McCool as Argost warrants mention as well in terms of vocal talent from fellow YouTubers here. Even though he's only a cameo in this, it was also cool to have Yobar in an actual completed video after his MERB debut as Nom Anor in Sonic Vs. Star Wars ended up being relegated to audio-only status.
As stated in its outro, every character I had planned to use in the seven battles announced through this video is hinted at in its lyrics; this is no longer the case, but only on account of plans being expanded to include two more battles, with the "season" (which has occupied half the time my series has existed at this point, I know) currently intended to end at #60.
I'm well-aware that despite it serving as an announcement of a major return my quantity of output since this video has remained severely wanting, which I'll admit has had to do with me relapsing into investment in cartoon girls being [REDACTED]. As of this posting, here's hoping once more to pick up the pace going forward, and that the resumption of my activity here on Tumblr will help keep me motivated in that regard...

“Is every third being in this galaxy named Skywalker?!” -Nom Anor, upon discovering a very small amount of Skywalker Bullshit.
star wars headcanon time:
- so mon mothma (based on the ep3 deleted scenes) knew Padme pretty well. and consequently TOTALLY clocked that she was pregnant. she knew. a bunch of senators knew. they never said anything because they respected her privacy.
- however padme was good at keeping her Secret Affairs under wraps so mon mothma had no idea who the father was. she never guessed it might be anakin bcos everyone knows Jedi don’t do stuff like that.
- padme dies suddenly & mysteriously. shortly thereafter bail organa and his wife announce that they’ve adopted a baby girl.
- at the time mon mothma does not think much of this BUT later as leia gets older she begins to resemble padme more and more in both looks & personality and mon mothma is like. hmmm.
- so she draws the natural conclusion.
- padme was having an affair with bail organa! and when she died in childbirth bail quietly ‘adopted’ the baby to avoid the scandal.
- mon mothma elects not to say anything about this because it’s not really her business and also the past is the past and padme has been. dead for several years at this point and she doesn’t feel like opening that wound back up.
- instead she just, takes leia under her wing.
- anyway! later when a kid w the last name Skywalker who says his dad was a jedi shows up to join the rebellion she’s like. hm.
- she didn’t know anakin well but at the very least she knew OF him and they like, probably met
- so she figures anakin must have fathered a child while he was travelling the galaxy during the clone wars. she never really liked anakin so she’s just like ‘hm guess he was a deadbeat dad. can’t say I’m surprised.’
- she is not aware however that Anakin became Darth Vader so she doesn’t really feel the need to say anything to luke about this. as far as she’s aware luke already knows the truth about his parentage. at most she might be like ‘hey I knew your dad a bit, he was a good jedi & a war hero’.
- so as far as mon mothma is concerned, anakin skywalker’s son and padme amidala’s daughter are both fighting for the rebellion. the fact that they’re the same age is just kind of a coincidence. tatooine uses a different calendar from most planets so she never notices that they literally have the same birthday.
- anyway later Leia is like ‘so guess what! luke is my long-lost brother. isn’t that wild?’
- and mon mothma is like
………………….’PADME WAS BANGING ANAKIN SKYWALKER????’
(leia: not what I expected you to take from that but. yeah I guess she was.)

Tsavong Lah: "You were to contact me when your duty was complete, Nom Anor, and not before. Pray you are not contacting me to report another failure."
[...]
Tsavong Lah: "Who is this!?"
Jaina: "Let's put it this way: I'm contacting you to report another failure."
This is an underrated scene.

You should do star wars for that fandom ask post game thingy :D
You are right!!! I should!!!
Featuring Star Wars Legends/EU because I like it better
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Jaina Solo! Absolute character of all time. Kicks ass at both being a pilot and being a Jedi and has exactly zero chill. Started falling to the dark side once but then just decided not to. Needs a nap and family counseling.
scrunkly (my "baby", character that gives me cuteness agression, character that is So Shaped): to me Tahiri Veila will always be the scrappy little girl who hates shoes I don't careeeeeeeee
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Zayne Carrick from the Knights of the Old Republic comic (not game). Cinnamon roll is too good for this world, too pure. Has the worst luck ever and only borderline Force sensitivity but is a better person than the rest of the Jedi in his era put together. Needs a nap and a hug.
glup shitto (obscure fav, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won't shut up about it for a week): Okay I am doing the movies for this one, because every time Wedge Antilles appears on screen i go feral
poor little meow meow ("problematic"/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): Nom Anor. He's terrible and I hate him but he's such a fascinating character. Has exactly zero morals but it also the only one who ever knows what's going on ever, much to everyone else's detriment, and pops up behind the randomest schemes like a Scooby-Doo villain
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Lol Kyp Durron probably. But only if I could block out his whining.
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Vergere
From this fandom ask game!

From source Nom Anor. Forgot his Playerin Bol -- like a boll weevil insect that balls up into the optic nerve and positions itself to look like an eyeball and work as an eye with sight. Another case of biot symbiosis created by the Master Shapers.

I witnessed the death of perhaps the greatest of them all, the one called Anakin Solo, who gave his life so that the ones he loved might live.
