If you recognize the word “Coruscant,” consider this message intended for you. If you don’t, read on anyway.

[He’s not picky about where the answers come from so long as he gets them. And for all he knows, this phenomenon has affected more universes than just their own.]

I spoke with someone I knew from my home galaxy today. We lived during the same decades. We should remember the same events and people. But we don’t.

We each remember different wars. We remember different people being alive or dead. In some cases, we don’t remember the same people existing at all.

If anyone has a possible explanation, I’d like to hear it.

And if those from my own galaxy have any similar discrepancies to report, this is the place to do it.

[He doesn’t know if this will get any bites. If not, he might have to track people down for more personal history recaps...]

[A link is sent first, and a message follows.]

This is what others have said. If you remember a different history, you must share it. Soon.

We do not know when the situation might stabilize. Information may be lost in the process.

The timeline matches the history I remember up to 5 ABY. There was no "First Order" or "Starkiller" in my galaxy. And it sounds like you didn't have the Yuuzhan Vong War or the Galactic Alliance in yours.

It isn't mine. I predate them all by millennia. And if you are being truthful, then I might avoid all of this entirely. [It's the only good news he's had this week.]

[flightforfreedom]

Wait, what?

I know a lot of us come from different times, but - I've never heard of people remembering completely different events.

What decades are you talking about, here?

[myownprice]

32 BBY to 40 ABY.

3 GrS to 75 GrS.

Alright, well.

I was born 2 ABY, and I ported in from 34 ABY, so.

You're from after me, I guess.

Coruscant is the heart of the corrupt Republic.

It was.

[Their galaxies have that in common, at least.]

[generalgrievous]

Was? You are from the future then?

[...You want a response, you better give him some useful data. Fett’s already over his daily word quota several times over.]

[dun_moch]

[Interesting.]

It is possible that more than one version of the same universe has been represented here by the Porter.

[myownprice]

Anyone else here from one of these other “versions” of our galaxy?

[Or has Fett had the entirely characteristic luck of being the only one?]

[dun_moch]

I could not say. We are scattered across so many time periods, it is difficult to be certain.

Might I know which version you are from?

[smugler]

So far, most of the confusion I've seen has been because I'm from a time before the rest of them. People say I was here before, older.

Then again, there's dozens of people here from different versions of this Earth planet... Why can't the be different versions of our galaxy?

[...Fett is just going to pretend that he doesn’t recognize the name “Lando Calrissian.”]

Not sure I’d call them different versions. The history seems to be the same up until 15 years ago.

But point taken.

Oh! Me! I know what Coruscant is!

It's the closet known planet to the center of the galaxy!

[...Does that say “Luke Skywalker?” Fett hadn’t even known he was here—though judging by his message, he might be rather younger than Fett remembers him.]

Correct.

What’s the last year you remember?

[lasersounds]

Alternate realities. Infinite universes with infinite possibilities.

It's how I had it explained to me at one point...[Several points. He didn't get it all that well until he ended up in one of those alternate realities himself.]

Voice;

[vanto]

Yeah? I might need someone to draw me a chart for this. The history of our galaxy is complicated enough without adding... alternate realities.

Re: Voice;

[myownprice]

I take it you've had a similar experience to my own?

[The name "Coruscant" never actually popped up in Dustin's memory of watching the movies, but is it going to stop him from being helpful? Nope. Anyway, this is something he knows from other science fiction novels anyway, so:]

ever heard of alternate timelines?

[myownprice]

I’m beginning to. Seems like the most popular explanation for what’s going on.

Cutting commentary, I’m sure.
