Talk:Solis Magna System

The images

That image from The Legend Reborn wouldn't technically be part of the Solis Magna System, would it? The movie went against canon to show the Ignika traveling from the planet in the picture, flying by several planets and celestial bodies, and then ending up at the three fragments of SM, while in canon the Mask came from one of the three fragments, Aqua Magna, and only had two continents, Mata Nui and Voya Nui, and by this point both of those continents would be gone. So I really don' think anyone could justify saying that this image shows part of the Solis Magna Systen. Furthermore, the Mask is shown flying from the dark void of space and into the system, as seen in the infobox image, but it really looks more like a galaxy than a system. My conclusion is that we shouldn't use these images to represent the Solis Magna System, since we have no way of confirming it all. Of course we can leave it there until we have answers. Maybe someone should ask Greg about this, but I think it is highly unlikely that he will have any answer, only a standard "I didn't make the movie" and "The filmmakers were allowed creative liberties."

EDIT: The image is also titled "Galactic Universe". I remember now that the image was used in our old Galactic Universe page, and that sort of justifies its use here. But now I wonder why the Galactic Universe page was deleted? --Luka1184 (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2015 (CEST)

We deleted the Galactic Universe page and replaced it with this one. The text is almost identical. As for the images -- yeah, we all know that TLR made a mockery of canon. But when it comes down to it, a crappy image is better than no image at all. --Angel Bob (talk) 21:23, 9 May 2015 (CEST)

What about the mentions of the Toa Nuva whose Adaptive Armor was transformed to accomodate for outer space when he was teleported there? Who was that though? Lewa? I can't remember. There's been more than one teleportation of characters to outer space, I belive. Or might just be that one. I can't add this information right now since it's late and I have to sleep, so maybe you can do it? --Luka1184 (talk) 01:18, 27 May 2015 (CEST)

Still within the same solar system. -- Dorek _Talk external image

Didn't say it wasn't though. I said that we should mention that scene in the article, don't you agree? I love how people on this wiki actually replies to you :) It's a great place to edit things.--Luka1184 (talk) 09:08, 27 May 2015 (CEST)

It is mentioned, near the end. The Adaptive Armor bit isn't mentioned because it doesn't actually occur within the story, even if it technically could (and looking at Greg's iffy quote along with the actual passage is inclined to make me think Space Form is bogus anyway!).

And yes, the wiki is great =3 -- Dorek _Talk external image

Perhaps it didn't happen in the actual text, but in the canon it certainly did. But the Adaptive Armor page already mentions it, so maybe it would be pointless to mention it here, on a page that doesn't really have to do with Lewa's armor :) --Luka1184 (talk) 10:36, 27 May 2015 (CEST)

Well, now I'm thinking that Space Form might not even be a thing anyway (on Talk:Adaptive Armor), but yeah, it's not really something that would have a place on the page necessarily anyway, so it's fine the way it is. -- Dorek _Talk external image

Other Cultures

Did Mata Nui observe cultures in the Solis Magna system, or were they all outside the system? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 01:39, 1 January 2017 (CET)

I don't think Mata Nui even left the SMS for he had a task, so he should remain near fragments. He might observed the full SMS, but I doubt that he left it. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 01:48, 1 January 2017 (CET)

It isn't one of Greg's more popular statements, but he did say that Mata Nui remained within the SMS. Seems a little silly to me (how big can one solar system be??), but them's the breaks. --Angel Bob (talk) 05:13, 1 January 2017 (CET)

Consider that Mata Nui had to observe cultures developing and dying, wich might have took ages, so it's not necessarily a really big solar system.

Binary system?

Where is the source for this? I don't see a reference or an image that confirms Solis Magna is two stars. --Toa Dante (talk) 00:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

While very few images from Mata Nui, Voya Nui, Bara Magna, Aqua Magna, and Spherus Magna portray the sun(s), here is what I found on the wiki:

Not supporting 2 stars(binary star system could have a sky like this, but means there was not clear thought about a 2 star system.)

Supporting 2 star system

I have not watched through all the video media, but I think this is a good list. I will check further later. Sorry for the long commentFirespitter Lhii (talk) 18:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. It seems The Legend Reborn introduced that idea, what with the Ignika flying through space on a wildly erroneous voyage as opposed to what actually happened; perhaps the animators thought two suns looked cooler. Seems the majority of visual media just sticks to one sun as a default. --Toa Dante (talk) 14:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Also, textually, I'm pretty sure they refer to "suns" multiple times in the books, but I'd have to double check. -- Dorek _Talk 18:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Please do, thank you. I'm afraid I lack any of the material in a physical format and it'll take me a while to dig through the BioMedia Project on my own. --Toa Dante (talk) 14:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

The first Glatorian comic definitely mentions there being two suns. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this as I continue re-reading the 2009 story. ~ Wolk (talk) 16:22, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

I would point out that the 2004 materials make a big deal out of the fact that outside world has only 1 sun as opposed to MU which has two.--ToaKebaka (talk) 18:12, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Solis Magna System-like nebula in our universe

Hi, guys. I looked over the October 2015 section of BZPower's news feed. It is reported that on October 14, 2015 that there is a galazy that looks like the Solis Magna System. Lol. Here is the link: Hubble Sees an Aging Star Wave Goodbye.

On that same day, there is also a petition in Change.org, where people want the nebula to be called Solis Magna System: Name the Nebula PK 329-02.2 to SOLIS MAGNA System from LEGO BIONICLE. The petition is closed and has 1,446 supporters. Nothing happened since.

I am not sure if it is okay to talk about that, but I thought it would be interesting to think about it. Lol. :) Lenny7092 (talk)
