Since the red star cannot teleport beings across dimensions, is that a reason why the remains of alternate Tuyet didn't desapeare ?
Do Kestora sometimes kill the beings inside the red star to make more space ?

Excuse me Greg, you probably missed this one.

1) Yes. Someone who does not belong in the MU would not be recognized by the system.

2) No. Kestora, unlike Matoran, are pretty much going to follow their original programming and they're not going to start  improvising. If they were going to think on their feet, the logical thing to do would be to have shut down the teleportation system completely so  no newcomers could be brought up when they could not be sent back. Instead,  like a cog in a machine, the Kestora just keep doing their jobs despite heading for a disaster.

I have never seen anything in a story bible stating that.

Greg, would it be possible for you to draw out a map of Spherus Magna after Mata Nui reformed it? Even if it's just a rough sketch, it would help those who want to continue the story ourselves a lot.

 

If it's completely out of the question, then I have one Q: Is the elemental land layout (the different regions) on Spherus Magna any relation to that of Bara Magna? Like, is there a rocky area where the black spike mountains where, or a firey area where Vulcanus used to be etc.

I can't draw at all, so you wouldn't want me to draw a map. As for your second question, I was kind of hoping to avoid the planet looking too much like Mata Nui/Metru Nui, with clearly defined elemental areas. For a real planet,  not an artificial construct, that seems to some extent a little unrealistic.

---

That's pk I'm not too good at drawing either 

 

But there would be, like.... You know, a volcano, some icy slopes, even a slight desert-y patch, you know? Places that aren't specifically element-related, but places that certain elements would be more comfortable in?

Yes, the same as there are in our world.

Hi Greg I have some questions I want to ask and hear they are.

 

1.) How old are the ninjas now after the overlord was defeated? Because the game trailer show new ninjago city with hover cars and cyber highways and stuff.

 

2.) How can I get my hand on a LEGO ninjago graphic novel? There are not many big store (Very small town and old too) around me that sell books.

 

3.) Is there a first bionicle book like when the six toa came?

 

4.) Ok final question. Have you heard the new song What does the fox say?

And that's all hope you can answer.

 

Never put off for tomorrow of what can be done today. Sensei Wu.

1) I don't believe that much time has passed. This was a massive tech revolution, but it wasn't one that took a long time to happen ... at least, that is the sense I get.

2) Amazon.com

3) Yes. BIONICLE Chronicles: Tale of the Toa by Cathy Hapka, published in 2003, covers the very beginning of the original story from when the Toa arrive on Mata Nui.

4) No.

I am sorry, but me and my brother both weren't able to understand what that means. Who said anything about a story bible? What is a story bible? How does it relate to my question?

---

A story bible is a document that includes a story summary for the year and a description of the world or any additions to the world that might have been made. One gets done every year for Chima and Ninjago and other lines that are story-based, and it is the main resource we use for information on the story. Since there is no mention of weapons having properties like you mentioned -- and since I am not on the Chima story team, I can only rely on the story bible for information -- the best I can tell you is I have never heard of anything like that.

Oh, and I hate to ask more than one question, but why was the BIONICLE: Glatorians graphic novel so rushed? The plot changed like three times in the magazine series and you started completely from scratch in the movie. I still don't know whether Gresh was a highly glorified Glatorian or just a rookie.

Not sure which graphic novel you are referring to, but the comics for 2009 were no more rushed than in any other year. They were being written and published on the same schedule as we had always used. As for the movie, the story for that was written in 2008, but the script was being worked on over the next year and movie scripts change constantly in big ways and small ways from the original story.

Why did Bionicle ever end? I never got a straight-forward reason.

Best explanation I can offer is that sales had been slowly but steadily declining since reaching a high in 2002. LEGO Company thus had a choice: keep putting BIONICLE out  until it died, and retailers never wanted to see it again ... or cancel it while it still had some popularity and leave the door open to a possible return, if the company ever wanted to do that. BIONICLE had been out for nine years at that point and based on set and movie sales, it seemed like there was some fatigue in the audience and maybe it was time to try something new.
