According to the Doctor Who story "Battlefield," the Doctor was Merlin in a parallel dimension. One of the more famous features found in many modern versions of the Merlin character is that he lives backwards in time. This was not a traditional feature of Merlin; it was only invented by T. H. W...

So a guy in the military comes across an alien spaceship in maybe the 60s ? Decades go by and he reappears on earth and hasn't aged at all. Apparently he went to some alien planet that is at war with another Alien race that is completely organic technology wise(like the zerg from starcraft) These...

What is Mandalorian armor made of? Do we even know? I have watched every "Clone Wars" and "Rebels" Episode like twice or more and I can't remember if it ever says anything like that. Is there maybe a book that says?

On the TV show Dark, Claudia and Adam seem to be on opposite sides of the conflict to control time travel, or whatever it is. However, it's unclear what they are actually aiming for, despite their many statements with respect to the matter. They both say they want to fix everything and break t...

In the future, Winden has suffered some kind of cataclysmic accident, referred the apocalypse, which has partially destroyed a number of buildings and killed those inhabitants who weren't in some bunker. What is the state of Germany as a whole, to say nothing of those regions beyond it, in this ...

The Hadouken is an iconic attack in Street Fighter that appears to produce flames. But what exactly is it? I skimmed the Street Fighter wiki, but it just says that it's "energy" that is "as warm as normal body temperature, contrary to popular belief that it is a fireball". So what exactly is a H...

An English speaker on Earth could be reasonably expected to be familiar with either the Dutch "vader" meaning father or the very similar German "vater", also meaning father. Obviously German and Dutch don't exist the Star Wars universe, but we have been told that dialects and accents in the spok...

How plausible is a Rick and Morty type portal? Let's say it doesn't need to come from a gun.

In The Force Awakens we see Poe talking to Lor San Tekka and receiving the map fragment, and then The First Order suddenly shows up. Is there anything in canon to indicate whether Poe was followed to Jakku, or did The First Order just happen to independently discover that clues to Luke's whereabo...

How does Steven, Tiger Millionaire, fair in a wrestling match now that he has obtained the ability of flight by jumping up in the air and slowly falling?

Shortly after Finn fails to follow Ren's instructions to "kill them all" (the villagers at Tuanul on Jakku), we see Phasma tell him to "submit his blaster for inspection" and "report to [her] division at once". Is this just a standard after-action procedure for all blasters, or did Phasma suspect...

In The Last Wish shortly after leaving Nivellen Geralt pulls up to a stream to let Roach have a drink. Whilst drinking Roach backs away from the stream at the sight of "an ordinary devil's ring". About midday, while Roach was drinking at a spring, the mare neighed piercingly and backed away, ...

In the end of Endgame, we see Cap So

Before discovering the EU, I always thought that the Stormtroopers were all clones. Now I know that they're actually all regular human recruits, at least in the current canon, but then why did Lucas in the PT decide to make Clone Troopers almost identical to the Stormtroopers? I've been thinking ...

Right after saying "Han, you've been running away from this fight for too long," Maz switches to something that sounds a lot like Huttese. I hear it as: ya kee naga wanta Which translating directly (not taking grammar into account) using this supposedly canon dictionary, might be: Ther...

I'm looking for this series of books, teen to adult rating? It was about sentient dinosaurs that had evolved and changed, and lived in a medieval kingdom time. It was based around three protagonists, with the leader being a raptor-based dinosaur whose people believed in thinking as fast as thei...

It has been mentioned that the first Death Star had a class 4 Hyperdrive and a class 20 backup, so it could move from system to system (so it could destroy targets.) As the weapons system of the First Order's Starkiller base is partly based off of the Death Star weapons system, does Starkiller ba...

This was a show in the 90-00s where teams of mech pilots would fight each other in arenas or they would race against each other. The main character was on a team which I believe was called something like “dragoons”

While Obi-Wan was a prisoner, was Dooku telling him about Darth Sidious for any reason other than trying to jump back over to the good guys? It seems everything else that happens afterward could have happened without revealing anything to Obi-Wan.

At the beginning of Willow, before the wizard chooses his apprentice for the year, Willow participates in a Nelwyn fair where he demonstrates two magic tricks: pushing a blazing arrow through a cylinder he wears on his arm (so supposedly, the burning arrow goes through his arm as well) while st...

I'm looking for the name of a book I read as a child. As I recall, it was in picture book format with illustrations of every page. The plot of the book involved someone digging down and finding an unusual valuable stone or gem of some kind. They kept expanding the hole trying to find the edge of...

Through out the movie Shazam! (2019), we see the bad guy, Dr. Sivana, wanting Billy to touch the staff and say his name so that the power would go to him (the bad guy). At some point, Billy shared his powers with his family using the same method (touching the staff and saying his name). So did ...

At the beginning of the Force Awakens, when the stormtroopers grab Lor San Tekka and bring him to Kylo Ren, Ren says "Look how old you've become". To me this suggests they were acquainted in the past- does anyone know more than that?

I remember reading this story, maybe in the 1990's, where condemned prisoners were not killed, but their minds erased and their bodies put to work. Miners (or whoever needed) could rent such bodies to help them with their hard work. This miner has three (or two?) bodies and uses a kind of remote ...

Im from England and when i was younger i remeber watching a show i loved. It had a 9-12 (maybe? He looked young) year old as the main character and he would have some questions from the viewers, which he would answer. He would usually go out and interview other kids as to what they thought of it....

Ever since I’ve encountered XKCD 270, over a decade ago, I’ve been fascinated by the idea of T. H. White’s Merlyn. I’ve now started reading The Once and Future King, and it occurred to me that Merlyn’s “backwards living” might never get properly developed in any of the five books in the series...

In old comics from the 1960s and later Goofy used to have a superhero alter ego, Super Goof. Toonopedia explains that Disney made a trial run in Donald Duck #102 (October, 1965) where Gyro Gearloose invented a super cape that Goofy used, the character was well received and That same month, ...
