imperial "kinder-blocks," as mentioned by Dedra Meero in andor s2, were actually first introduced in the book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire! they're described as "both housing and educational compounds where the Empire could raise a new generation of loyalists."

Well! No time like the present to talk about it! #starwarscelebration The Nine Worthies of the Middle Ages almost certainly have a strong influence on Trials of the Jedi, as seen through the Luminous Nine chosen and led by Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann! 1/2 #StarWars #TheHighRepublic #Medieval #Knights

#StarWars always takes from a diverse array of influence from history and culture, as this profile has hopefully demonstrated. Gilroy's interview with The Hollywood Reporter underlines this, and I encourage people to give it a read! 1/2 www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Truly a shock to see Clone Wars as the selected era for the new Star Wars turn-based strategy game! The alien squad mates are fascinating picks and I look forward to hearing more news! www.ea.com/games/starwa...
