ah, missed that the issue had been adressed in the FAQ
still doesn't seem very logical to me, but offical answer accepted

not quite, the Ise are described as defending the Kitsu shugenja against the spirits that follow them, so specialised against the supernatural, while the Goseki are described as generic yojimbo
That said, I tend to agree that a family of yojimbo is a bad fit as Matsu vassals, that doesn't quite fit the Matsu mindset

A refrigerator, a frying pan, and a stove?

the engines of ani's podracer have been officially been told in the canon "ultimate star wars" reference book to be heavily customized Radon-Ulzer repulsorlift 620C racing engines
so basically,what he's riding can be anything from another RU product to a scavenged engine he welded a seat on

Do we need to tether you two together and give you vibraknifes?

as a note: jedi and the force had already become a myth to nearly everyone byt the time of the original trilogy (luke knowing nothing of them, most of the rebellion having heard only stories despite their leaders having actually worked with them, the imperials not even believing in the force despite working with Vader)
so it's really an original Lucas decision and they're rolling with it

This isn’t asokha, the actress in the trailer is a different one than the one rumoured to play our orange padawan
 
It’s kind of making the buzz right now because some people complained about the asokha actress from the trailer while she wasn’t even in it

Oh the RPG was never really in the devs' motivation, it was more an afterthought, an opportunity they took to expand on their CCG sales. So they never really tried to develop its lore as coherent
Rokugan and its power balance in lore was defined by the official CCG tournaments' winners. Hence the need they had to find an excuse to remove the previous tournaments winners factions from power in lore and regularly killing old characters so new ones could be sold, which they solved by inventing a cosmic menace nearly every tournament
That can work for a CCG. But then try to create a logical RPG setting out of it... Not really very manageable. Hence the RPG lore quickly became a mess

A lot of old gamers aren't actually that dissatisfied with FFG getting the license and resetting the universe. The old RPG/CCG with an apocalypse and lore change every tuesday to account for the CCG tournaments prizes and the frankly stupid directions marketing & the story group were regularly taking the game due to need to sell new cards & blatant story group favoritism were pretty tiring
unfortunately with the reset, some good things were inevitably lost too

I chalk it up to the recurring  problem of changing editions and owner
They don’t dare change too many things lest the older eds grognards go « they changed it so it sucks » and they fear to lose a segment of their customer base

Yeah, well, the 1st ed game is old now and it’s a remnant of 80es near total ignorance of Asian cultures at the time (no internet back then) so nowadays the Asian fantasy kitchen sink remnants wick injected in his design sound like hilarious weeaboo stuff

There's currently no clue in the rpg or ccg if the lying darkness is still a thing that exists. A few ominous in character mentions here & there in the creation myth & ishiken inversions but nothing concrete rule-wise
So rather than mentioning it for the sakura family, you could just say they have a pointed interest in ninjas and their strange powers, that's how they started with the kitsuki diary in previous eds

while most TCG pictures show people in their clan colors to make their ID more obvious, there ARE pictures of clan members in different colors, here's 2 for example:
