This is the galaxy map found in The Force Awakens: Visual Dictionary,    sorry for the bad quality picture.  You can see Rakata Prime included among most the canon planets and they even chose to include Rakata Prime over Kamino and Mustafar.  As some of you know already, Rakata prime is a planet from KOTOR that had extreme significance. I realize that, , KOTOR was somewhere between C and S canon.   In addition:   Taris was mentioned in Star Wars: Aftermath      They stand in a tenement on Taris...  Malachor is mentioned as Kylo Ren's lightsaber is said to be patterned on a Sith lord called "The scourge of Malachor". Darth Bane is featured in an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series) (can't remember which season/episode)   So what do these fairly direct references mean for the level of canonicity of Knight of The Old Republic?  Note I am not asking for plot speculation (as delicious as it may be) based on these developments, also I do not believe this is a duplicate of the question I linked as this question is based on modern developments.

For all types of derivative works, namely:   Movies Novels Comic books Other written works (including RPG materials) Cartoons Video games Derivative movies (such as the infamous Ewok movies and even more infamous )   According to what rules does something become "canon" and who is responsible for the evaluation of a published work?

I don't know the exact significance of the word "Darth" in the Sith world, but I think it was a word of honor for powerful Sith. That's why Anakin was given this word in his new name.  All powerful Sith in canon had this word in their names: Darth Plagueis, Darth Bane, Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, etc. As such name similarity can't be names given by their parents, I can assume they were given such words in names as a honor.   Now, look at Count Dooku... he was a powerful Sith too. So, why wasn't he given this title?    Darth word to address Dooku hasn't been used in the movies, as far as I know. If you are claiming that Darth and Lord words are same, give citations because my vocabulary rejects it.

When on the bridges/catwalks, why did neither the Jedi nor the Sith use the Force to push/pull their enemy to their death? The Jedi may have had a purpose, but why didn't the Sith use it?   Every Jedi Knight player would have done that! (Especially in a place like Nar Shaddaa streets.)  Furthermore, although I think this one is simply a bug in the movie, at one point, he even seems to step backwards to make some room for the Jedi jumping over his catwalk.    Even with or without this, is there any in-universe explanation why they didn't just use Force push/pull?

Finn tells Han that he worked in "Sanitation" on Starkiller.  FINN The flooding tunnels are over that ridge. We'll get in that way. HAN What was your job when you were based here? FINN Sanitation. HAN Sanitation? Then how do you know how to disable the shields? FINN I don't. I'm just here to get Rey   It just occurs to me - the "I was in sanitation" line given to Han seems to be the only actual canon evidence of "Sanitation" job.   But was it the truth"?!?!  Finn is always trying to create a positive impression of himself with the Resistance, from the get-go:   He tells Poe that he's rescuing him because that's the "Right thing to do" (with Poe quickly seeing through the fib: "You need a pilot!") He tells Rey that he's Resistance (she buys that because she's a romantic 19 year old still playing with X-Wing pilot helmet) He tells Han that he's Resistance (that one lasts about a minute - Han was not a romantic 19 year old even at 19 :)   In reality, we know that he was 1% of his class, model stormtrooper cadet, personally groomed for promotion by Captain Phasma (; ).  However, I am pretty sure telling Han "Hey, I was 1% of my class, model stormtrooper cadet, groomed for promotion by Captain Phasma"  isn't high on his list of brand management plans.  Far better to pretend to be a lowly "sanitation" worker than top-flight cadet that he really was.  So, my question is - do we have any direct canon evidence proving that the "sanitation" job was real and not a fib to make himself look better to Han/Resistance?  Knowing where trash compactor was isn't direct evidence, though it is circumstantial one.

An answer , uses the appearance of E.T.-like creatures in the Star Wars universe as a frame of reference for dating the sagas relative to our present day.  I remember noticing, and discussing the E.T.-like creatures when I saw the film, too, but is there an in-universe explanation for this, or an in-universe tying of the two stories?    Or is it just a cute Hollywood nod on the part of Star Wars to the E.T. franchise?

Is there any sort of magic, besides the Force, existing in the Star Wars universe?  What triggered me to ask this question were the . The Wookieepedia article refers to their powers as "magicks" and seems to present deeds unseen in other force users:     The most powerful of them could use that ichor to summon objects out of the thin air, transform people into ghostly versions of their true forms, or even reanimate the dead.   I have found  that almost alludes to the Dark Side of the Force once; however it does so without a proper citation, and only actually says "gifted with the power to wield dark magicks", avoiding the topic.

Simple question - What is the address they dial to connect with the Ancient ship Destiny in Stargate Universe from Icarus base.  I have found the address on  - however they have an unconfirmed order, and not sure of the validity of this.  Any help deciphering the above would be great!

Have any references ever been made to the existence of Earth, our solar system, or the Milky Way anywhere in Star Wars Legends?  EDIT:  Following @Trader's answer, I wanted to point out that "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." in the starting scroll is a very obvious answer, but not the one I'm looking for.

Has the in-universe name of the Star Wars galaxy ever mentioned in the canon?

Preface: I am aware that there are other threads that discuss the Jedi/Sith aspects of common knowledge in the Star Wars universe such as ,  and . My question is not about knowledge of the Jedi/Sith stuff as much as the “wars” of Star Wars itself. To me it seems as if the general population of the galaxy knows they are oppressed, but are not really aware there is an active war to end that oppression regardless of the “religious” aspect that seems to have started it all.    So the some of the trailers for the new film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens have a key scene where Han Solo states:     It’s true. All of it. The Dark Side. The Jedi. They’re real.   Okay, so I understand how the whole mystical concept of “The Force” might have been lost by the sands of time. But what about the rest of it? Objectively thinking of how the original trilogy was presented it seems everything was secretive or clandestine in many ways:   Star Wars: The mission to recover the Death Star plans from the Rebels was carried out by one Star Destroyer lead by Darth Vader. When the idea the plans were jettisoned to Tatooine in an escape pod, Stormtroopers are sent to the planet, but everything is somewhat secretive. Even the massacre of the Jawas was done in a way to make it seem as if Tusken Raiders (aka: Sand People) carried out the attack. The rest of the film follows the same notes including the attack on Yavin moon that contained the secret rebel base. The Empire Strikes Back: Again, Darth Vader is hunting down Rebels and they are hiding on an ice planet seemingly as far away from everything as possible. The trip to see Yoda on Dagobah was not shared by Luke with anyone, and when Han Solo heads to Bespin, it’s to seek refuge. And heck, even Lando Calrissian brags about how his operation in Cloud City is small enough to not attract the attention of the Empire. So everything that happens there is known only to the parties involved it seems. Return of the Jedi: The rescue of Han Solo from Tatooine is yet another clandestine operation carried out by a small group of friends trying to save the life of a fellow friend. When Jabba dies and his ships are destroyed, who cares and who knows what happened outside of that group? Jabba’s just a huge crime lord and his death would not mean much to other criminals let alone raise an eyebrow by others. Then the whole Death Star II operation on Endor is yet again, a secret operation.   And there we go. It seems that everything that transpires in the the original trilogy are all special operations and “need to know” operations at best carried out by two opposing sides who might be fighting for larger power, but it’s not like—for example—a World War II struggle it seems. It all seems like small scale operations in a lager conflict much like action films such as  or .  So in this context, what exactly did the “wars” in the Star Wars actually mean as far as awareness goes throughout the galaxy? My desire for “canon” extends into  the modern definition of Star Wars canon which means Disney canon as well; no fan-fiction or wild guesses please.  Again, it seems the new series of films will you touch on how “legendary” yet not real these events seem to contemporary residents in the Star Wars universe goes. But is there an canonical material that explicitly states something like, “The war against the Empire was important, yet not directly known by most inhabitants in the galaxy/universe of Star Wars.”  PS: FWIW, this all seems odd to me because to my knowledge—in the context of our own conflicts on Earth—even in pre-Internet/pre-modern communication times, wars and conflicts were known or conveyed in some way to even the most menial people in society. You talk to someone about the Crusades, the Civil War or even World War I nowadays people at least know that some kind of war happened even if they do not know any specifics of the conflict. But in the Star Wars universe, average citizens seem fairly clueless despite having apparently better technology and communication methods.

In Rogue One, we get our first glimpse of Darth Vader's primary residence - a castle on Mustafar.  Given the freedom to choose any planet in the galaxy as their new home, I don't think many people would pick the place where they had three limbs chopped off, fell into a lava flow, and were burned alive, but this appears to be what Vader did.   Why does Vader live on Mustafar of all places?

Back in the days of BBS's and Newsgroups - and before  (early 90's), there was lots of talk about Star Wars lore and theories of what the other episodes might include if they were ever made. One of the things that was always talked about as fact was that Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan had dueled on a volcano and the fight resulted in Vader being "more machine than man".  This, of course, ended up being Vader/Obi-Wan fighting on the volcanic world of  in Episode 3.   I've spoken to a number of people and we can all remember hearing this often repeated over the years, but none of us can remember just where we heard this. It was never mentioned in the movies or novelizations. Nor was it mentioned in any of the Han Solo/Lando Calrissian books which served as sort-of-prequels at the time. For it to have been such a pervasive and universally accepted story, it must have had some somewhat-official origin (an interview, a back of a trading card, something).  Where did this "fact" originate?

I always wondered why Admiral Motti and Governor Tarkin in the movie  insinuate that the Force is an old, dead religion?  :     The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.   :     Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerous ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fortress...   Tarkin, as human, must be around age 50, so, if in Episode IV Luke is about 20, when he was just born at the end of Episode III, Tarkin must have been around 30, so a perfect young man in a Galaxy that used to know Jedis, Jedi Council, Force etc..  Why, 20 years later, he just looks like someone who never saw a Jedi/Sith? Also, besides from Force sensitives (Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, the Emperor), nobody else looks like they ever heard of the Force ... that's really weird, isn't it?

Many rebels died to procure the , which were then transmitted to the Tantive IV. As we all know, the Tantive IV was then captured by Vader and the Imperials. Leia stores the plans within the data banks of R2-D2. We're told repeatedly how important R2 is because he must be delivered to the rebels so that they examine the plans to destroy the Death Star.  But why?  Even just within the original trilogy, we're shown examples of long range, interstellar communication.   Why weren't the plans sent directly to the rebels instead of the Tantive IV, or sent directly from the Tantive IV when they first received them?

I read and loved  but with all the recent changes to what is and isn't canon I'm losing track.  There's a common theory that Supreme Leader Snoke is Darth Plagueis, most are discounted because Plagueis is a Muun. But where does that information come from? What current canon information do we have about Plagueis that disproves this theory and what has been marked as Legends?

At the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there's a curious rock jutting out at the feet of       Luke Skywalker     To my eye the rock suggests a hand reaching up from the earth - I couldn't place such a reference, but I wondered if it had some significance.  My six year old had been whispering to me "look for the hand" for the last fifteen minutes or so, as I hadn't noticed this character's actual hand on the first viewing. So ... I was probably wired for hand-shaped things at this point. It does look a strange rock shape though, and incongruous to the other rocks in the scene IMO.

Is the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic blessed by Lucas and considered canon? As a secondary question, has George Lucas ever officially sanctioned anything in the Star Wars expanded universe?  I guess what the real question is; once some Star Wars media is licensed by Lucas, is it considered official canon or not? Examples pro and con would be great.  UPDATE: What I really want to know is what makes something canon in the Star Wars universe, and an article in Wookieepedia or Wikipedia is great and all but not an answer.  I will leave up the previous question(s) to show the progression of the question.
