TracyJackson Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Does anyone know if Tython exists by the time of the SW films, when Luke/Anakin Skywalker came unto the scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyerix Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think it does. Just a long forgotten devastated world as last time it is mentioned is 990BBY. Would probably be a world of empty ruined temples from both Jedi and Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyltran Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Does anyone know if Tython exists by the time of the SW films, when Luke/Anakin Skywalker came unto the scene? As long as it was mentioned in Disney Canon then yes. That's the short answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onerats Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Planets don't get destroyed in Star Wars all that often. A few thousand years isn't much to a planet.. so yes, it should still be there. That said, the original movies didn't do squat to really build and populate the Star Wars galaxy. Almost everything came from the expanded universe in the decades after the movies were made, and was then first shown on film in the prequel movies. Tython has never been mentioned in a movie so far as I know, nor in the expanded universe novels (legends now).. mostly becausee that portion of the lore hadn't been touched on before. Has Tython been forgotten and lost? Was it simply never mentioned because the authors just hadn't filled in that portion of the story (but is in fact known to the characters canonically).. we don't know so far as I know.

BrianDavion Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 the short answer is yes.. the more detailed answer is yes, but the hyperspace routes have changed and become more hazerdous thus making tython harder (MUCH Harder) to get too. Tython is located in the deep core, a dense cluster of planets and stars at the literal center of the galaxy. hyperspace travel requires a lack of gravity thrown up by planets and stars, and thus reliable hyperspace routes are pretty valueable. in the deep core they're also hard to come by and rare. presumably sometime over the next 3 and a half thousand years the hyperlane to tython becomes less reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JepFareborn Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Han Solo mentioned in "The Force Awakens" that the people who new Luke Skywalker best said he was searching for the first Jedi Temple. ^ So Tython could become part of permanent canon if it is actually mentioned by name or used in the continuation of the new saga!!

SithKoriandr Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 They renamed Korriban, so I would think they'd rename Tython. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabethchase Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 They renamed Korriban, so I would think they'd rename Tython. Tython's a good name. I imagine they stick with it. Rakata Prime was recently elevated to cannon so no reason Tython couldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 They renamed Korriban, so I would think they'd rename Tython. except the renaming was basicly a "Lucas whim" disney has shown a tendancy to be less prone to that kinda action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zharik Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Planets don't get destroyed in Star Wars all that often. A few thousand years isn't much to a planet.. so yes, it should still be there.<snip> Actually at the rate they are blowing planets up, several hundred planets should explode during the time between SWTOR's timeline and the movies' timeline. I mean really, how many "planet killers" are in the story lines? Knight has a couple back to back itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerithiel Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 As long as it was mentioned in Disney Canon then yes. That's the short answer. they will prob rename the planet to something else I doubt Tython will still exist at their Main Continuty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woooo! Plus, if you look at the planet Rey finds Luke in, it does look similar to Tython in SWTOR, just minus the civilization and settlements. Not sure if they've officially named that planet yet, but assuming that planet is the site of the first Jedi Temple, it's possible we may have just seen Tython on the big screen for the first time.
