The Bionicle Stars will be a part of the storyline, although their smaller size is non-canon, as Toa Mata Nui's larger scale was.
Teridax will be coming to Bara Magna, which is how the Bionicle Stars characters will factor in to the story.
On the Bionicle Stars: "Well, two are Toa, one is a Rahkshi, one is a Skakdi, one is a Glatorian, and one is a Skrall."
The Bionicle Stars are named such because they represent some of the most popular characters from the series.
The blue Skakdi is labeled as a Piraka because of its familiarity as a brand name.
The yellow Rahkshi possesses the heat vision power.
Takanuva will not be treated in story as if he is still in twilight form.
While Tahu appears in Toa Mata for as part of the Stars line, the other Toa will appear in story as well, though they will not be featured in the same way and will not be reverted back into Toa Mata form.
Tahu's gold-armored form will be canon. He is not wearing one of the gold Kanohi from 2001 story. His mask only has the power of shielding, but it is part of a larger power tied to the full set of armor. He no longer has his abilities as a Toa Nuva.
The green Skrall in the Stars lineup is of the warrior class.
THE LEGEND REBORN
A combination of gravity wells and impacts redirected the Ignika back toward Bara Magna on its escape path from Aqua Magna.
The elemental powers bestowed on the Glatorian were not already dormant inside of them; rather, they were generated by the Mask of Life. Their abilities are roughly equivalent to those of Toa, although they do not possess the same level of control.
The fight between Tarix and Vastus in the Legend Reborn was for rights over the Hot Springs as a water source in light of the attacks on Tajun's caravans.
The prototype robot was never controlled by an artificial intelligence like Mata Nui.
The prototype robot is about two-thirds the size of the Mata Nui robot.
All captured Agori and Vorox were freed when Roxtus was abandoned.
The Glatorian now serve as a defense force for the united village. Ackar has become the leader of the united village's defense force, and Raanu acts as leader of the mega-city.
Strakk has been banished.
"Strakk does not get banished until after the events of the movie. Think about what happened after the fight with Ackar -- the attack on Tajun, and Tesara, the whole world is at war, Iconox did not have time to worry about disciplining Glatorian when the village was in danger of being overrun. Strakk got banished after the defeat of the Skrall."
Mata Nui has no involvement in the mega-city now; he is busy with a quest of his own and is not hanging around.
By the end of the Legend Reborn, Mata Nui is able to control the Ignika consciously.
SKRALL
The Element Lord of Rock is a leader class Skrall.
All leader class Skrall automatically rank a name.
BARA MAGNA
The Shattering was caused by the Element Lords' attempts to use the EP Spring, which lead to the explosion of the planet's core.
"Dormus" is the Agori word for "peaceful."
The Element Lords have better control over their elements than the Toa Nuva do.
MATORAN UNIVERSE
Mata Nui's mission was to traverse the universe, observing societies so that a massive war such as the Core War would not break out again, and then to pull Spherus Magna back together.
Teridax's destiny may or may not have been to take over Mata Nui's body; Greg states that the real question is whether or not one robot alone would be able to pull three planets together.
Legends of the Toa Mata had existed on Metru Nui prior to the Matoran's migration to Mata Nui, though there had not been particular reason to talk about it much.
On the original process to reawaken Mata Nui: "Basically, it's a long process that involves each Toa giving a small part of their energy in sequence to do slowly what the Ignika did all at once. Could easily take 12 hours or more to finish."
