    I saw that. Jason makes no mention of where he got that from. He's been posting a lot of stuff with no mention of sources lately. Kinda shady if you ask me.

    He never gives sources... He just says a source I trust at best.

    My guess it comes from the books. It takes some time for books to get physically published so most have already been written. Lots of information like this popped up for Episode I via the books that leaked before the movie.

    I went to SDCC too and came back with some great intel too:
    After the battle of Endor, Chief Chirpa and a lower ranking tribal elder called Kramtok enacted marshal law on the forest moon of Endor.

    An Imperial officer, Moff Tuba, took a small fleet of starship to the Robelean system to plan a counter attack.

    After the DS2 was destroyed, Order 69 was placed and all Gungans were irradicated with a biological weapon. Any Gungan exposed would suffer uncontrollable rectal bleeding for 7 hours and their heads would swell until they burst.

    A rebel officer called Frik Carlighter was placed in charge of agriculture on the desert planet Bakku in the Ghanja system.

    Ewoks became a food source for the rebel fleet.

    The battle of Jakku was scary.

    The battle of Jakku was large.

    The battle of Jakku got started right.

    The battle of Jakku got started…quickly.

    He's not even saying that. Just posting random info with no mention of where it came from.

    TBH as much as Jason is loose cannon, one thing am sure of, is that the stuff he has is not pie in the sky. He's not making it up. Someone or something is feeding him info.
