The Star War Gatherings

Chicken Jarrus's Embarrassing Nickname
Kanan Jarrus was a Padawan who ran away from the Jedi Order in order to survive Order 66. In Reply Is Minus, we see that he's been named "Chicken Jarrus." Kanan ran away from the Hopeless Situation Warriors, and got named "Chicken" for it.

The D was replaced by someone else in between the Backstroke of the West and Reply is Minus
Thrawn states that he just killed the new emperor in Reply is Minus. The D probably ordered Thrawn to kill the new emperor, thereby restoring D's job. Being Thrawn, he probably did it in an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.

Blow The Skin is gender-fluid

The Hopeless Situation Warriors are multiple religions in one
Which explains the Jedi Council becoming "The Presbyterian Church", the Hopeless Situation Warriors being implied to be Jewish, and the Jedi Temples being named "Jedi Mosques" in Reply is Minus.

Gospel and Bong Day were accidentally Switched at Birth
Thus explaining why he's her sister and she's his brother. It takes some heavy WMG to justify, but here's one possible series of events:
  • Blow The Skin, being unfamiliar with human anatomy and/or the concept of gender, grabbed See Me instead of See for herself and Senator to take home.
  • Senator wanted a girl so badly (in the prequel, he mentioned "hoping to get to keep the daughter") that he raised the baby as one even after he found out.
  • Ratio Tile simply never checked under the blanket before giving the remaining baby to Owen and Voru, who then decided for some reason to raise her as a boy.
  • One possible reason: maybe in the Backstroke version of Tatooine/Africa, gender roles are stricter, and girls weren't expected to help out on the farm.
  • Both kids grew up relatively isolated as a princess and a farmer, and may have been purposely misinformed by their guardians about puberty, so they only realized that Luke was "actually" a girl and Leia was "actually" a boy after seeing more of the galaxy.
  • The matter of gender identity was only explored after the original trilogy ended, and they eventually decided they were more comfortable with identifying as the genders they were raised as (based on the fact that they identify as such in the sequel trilogy).
  • Kylo's existence can be explained by adoption or futuristic technology (or maybe Thoreau is transgender as well). As for Gospel having facial hair, well, that can be done with current technology in real life, so it's not a stretch.

Gungans are North Koreans
The Plum Of, queen of South Korea, has to get aid from her neighboring state of dumb aliens to destroy Ray Gun's robots.

Gospel is Kellogg's birth mother
Since both Bong Day and Luck Thoreau are male, neither one of them can birth a child. Gospel, however, might have female genitalia, so they might have asked her to be their surrogate mother and give birth to their child.

The Star War Gatherings are the Star Wars story but told in Gree
The black bisector returns prosperous indeed.

The opening crawl in The Counterattack Collection is actually something the Hose System said after gaining human form.

The West and the Hopeless Situations have the same pantheon with the exception of a single deity.
Ratio Tile says "Our faith believes in our religion, but is not to believe in a certain person," and Reach the West mentions "The Father, The Driver, and The Wild Goose with The Son." The Father and the Son obviously go together, while, in Real Life, the Wild Goose is an old name for the Holy Spirit. Given that the Driver is the Odd Name Out, there is a Hopeless Situation Presbyterian Church, and the heroes generally make more Christian references than the villains do, it's clear the Driver is the evil one. It's just that the West considers the Driver be a deity while the Hopeless Situations consider the Driver a lesser being who's simply higher than mortals.
  • This fits in with the Dark Side being translated as "the Devil" in Yoda's dialogue as well as the Grand Inquisitor's.
