star wars - Did the Separatists' nations join the Rebel Alliance in episodes 4-6?


Even though the separatist leaders were all killed by Anakin, did any of the nations themselves join the Rebels or did they all fall in line to the empire, post Revenge of the sith?



Answer



Yes.


Doing comm -12 (Unix command to find out common lines between 2 files) on 2 lists of planets retrieved from:


http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rebel_Alliance#Alliance_worlds (30 worlds listed)



and


http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Confederacy_of_Independent_Systems#Astrography (102 worlds listed)


I got 8 (out of 102) that used to be CIS and became 8 out of 30 held by the Rebels (in other words, there was a fairly small chance that a CIS world would join the rebellion - less than 1 in 10 - but given the total # of the world in the galaxy (way above 102), having been in CIS seems like a factor likely to raise your chance of being a Rebel world - almost a third of Rebel worlds were ex-Separatist ones):


Dac
Dantooine
Mygeeto
New Plympto
Sullust
Thyferra
Togoria

Utapau


UPDATE:


As per New Disney Canon, there's an additional reason why many ex-CIS worlds may have had Rebel leanings - as well as why many didn't participate. In Tarkin book, we see both examples:




  • Many ex-CIS worlds were severely hurt and punished by the Empire. The damage from Clone Wars was never repaired. Political repressions happened.





  • Many ex-CIS worlds simply were destroyed as viable players, either as result of Clone Wars or as pos-Clone-War reprisals from the Emperor. They may have been candidates for Rebellion by inclination, but simply lacked ANY means, or even viable population.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

tolkiens legendarium - Did Gandalf wear his Ring of Power throughout the trilogy?

After Gandalf discovered that Sauron was back and sent Frodo on his quest to Rivendell, did he continue to wear Narya (one of the Three Rings)? It seems like a huge risk to continue to wear it after the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) started to try and reclaim the One Ring; if they managed to get the ring to Sauron, couldn't he be corrupted by his power? Whatever powers Narya bestows upon him couldn't possibly be worth the huge risk, could it? Answer When Sauron forged the one ring and put it on his finger, the other ring bearers were immediately aware of him and his intentions and removed their own rings. There is no reason why they couldn't merely do so again. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and preceived that he would be master of them, and of all they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Silmarillion
