The Thrawn Trilogy: Difference between revisions

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: The trilogy introduced a [[Loads and Loads of Characters|vast number of characters]], starships and planets to the Star Wars universe, more so than any subsequent part of the [[Expanded Universe]]. Perhaps the most significant being [[Dark Action Girl|Mara Jade.]]

* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: Mara to Luke.

** Zahn asserts that in the Clone Wars, it was discovered that clones would go insane if they were grown too fast (due to resonance in the Force between the clone minds). Nobody else has ever acknowledged this as being true or, for that matter, happening. Zahn also has Mara claim that the Death Star I debacle is why Vader lost his right hand: in punishment for his failure.

*** Zahn and a couple others actually did [[Retcon]] a form of this back into canon. A comic had a battle between Republic forces (including Pellaeon) and besieged Separatist aliens who were quick-growing clones of their warriors in tubes, and as they compressed the growth cycle further and further the clones started getting disjointed. The Empire started moving away from Kamino cloning to experiment with Spaarti cylinders, and growing clones too quickly in those tends to make them insane. It helps that he was vague about all of that the first time around.
