Does anyone have the quote of Dave Filoni saying that Maul’s “velociraptor” legs limited his agility and prevented him from perfping his martial arts?

First result, man.

At least try next time.

I already tried that, and I couldn’t find the source through google search. Darth Thor and Darthant originally had it, they linked a YouTube podcast of Filoni making that statement, but YouTube has removed it, but I figured Ant or Thor might have quoted Filoni or have remembered what the podcast is called.

... click the link I posted, and then click on the first result. It's there.

... literally all what Filoni says about Maul's legs in that first result is that Maul's new velociraptor legs prevented him from immediately using his old fighting style, he says nothing about his legs limiting his agility and preventing him from performing the martial arts that TPM Maul could perform. What I actually asked for is any kind of lead to the podcast that Filoni makes the statement of Maul's velociraptor legs hampering his agility and martial arts.

On a random note in case anyone was wondering, I think I found out what those hoses were for in ANH before the DS attack. At least for Previous Canon, Disney it's probably still up in the air.

But for Previous Canon, those hoses were actually connected to the Ground Power Imput on the X-wing/Y-wings. These enable for much faster start ups on the craft.

Ground Power Imput: Through this standard power plug, the X-wing can draw power from an external source(usually a portable generator) for rapid starts, and to keep fuel cells full during long alerts.

- The Star Wars Sourcebook 1st/2nd editions

This makes sense, since the DS was minutes away from Yavin, so the pilots/ground crew had to move very quick. They couldn't dilly dally with starting up all the craft they needed any slower, plus now re-watching the scene carefully I think I've also saw some generators with the hoses.

Not sure if anyone was ever interested, but hey, I've seen people wondering about what all that was about and...well there's an answer. So it's not fuel like a lot of people think.

Good stuff, Zen. 👆

So I'm bringing this back to ask those who are more familiar with the NJO...but I found this interesting Jedi Master..

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ikrit

I'm curious if anyone knows, but how good is he as a Force User? Also I notice that he says he's wielded a lightsaber...but is it shown how or is it just a statement?

I member him. How in the goddang did he use a lightsaber? It'd be neat if it was held up with TK.

So, in the Head to Head: Tag Teams book, the battle breakdown for Jango Fett & Young Boba Fett Vs. Commander Cody, Commander Barca, & Lama Su, the Battle Breakdown section explains that Commander Barca is a 84% copy of Jango's original DNA, Cody is a 91% copy, and Boba and Jango are obviously 100% matches.

So how valid would you say this is?

Whaat?...They should all be 100% Jango Fett as far as body physicals go. Don’t tell me Disney Canon is changing this too..

Oh no, it's not Disney Canon. It's the from the "Head-to-Head" series from the early 10's. Tag Teams was printed May 1, 2011.

And yeah, they should be 100%, especially considering humans share 98.8% of their DNA with Chimpanzees. But I guess they're trying to explain the deviations in terms of growth rate, personality, etc.

That's my take, anyway. I'd encourage others, if you have them.

Oh...well regardless of that, I'm a bit weary of using the Head to Head or VS series from those magazines or whatever as any kind of credible source, unless there's other material that suggest it to be a possibility.

But then again, if they are accounting for personality and other things, not just body structure...then I guess that would make sense.

Makes sense.

Anything in the Ultimate Star Wars New Edition Databook that mentions Kylo's lightsaber skills being comparable to Luke/Anakin or anything along those lines?

I have a feeling that this is just not true but thought I'd check just incase anyone knows.

There's this:

Thought they were twisting the truth a bit. Thanks.
