or perhaps because she has kids and it's now school season, or did that slip your mind? she doesn't mind us talking about girls. I would know, I constantly talk about girls in the IRC channel XD. Heh, no, it hadn't slipped my mind. I was joking; I... [Read More]
A valid point, I suppose. Regardless, it was the general make-or-break point of the series, b/c it shifted the course of the entire saga in a very new and different direction. Traitor was probably the most unique SW novel out there, with Shatterpoin... [Read More]
The NJO had its down points. VP was one of those in my view. However, the rest of the series had some incredible moments. Read it, enjoy it. Don't quit at least till you've read Traitor. That's the make it or break it point of the series. If you hate... [Read More]
All that has been said is well-said, regarding book chains. They do a fantastic job nowadays. However, in this case, the book isn't worth buying, especially not in hardcover. It is literally the worst-written "adult" book - that is actuall... [Read More]
Uhh, yeah. That guy's crap. Ignore him; he's never ever cited any sources (not you, rc, that supershadow moron - the infamous one). Pretty much, your safest bet for corroborating info like that is to run it through the aforementioned Completely Unoff... [Read More]
Yes, the team made very much the right decisions. In the end, killing Luke might or might not have been good, but it would have driven off far too many readers. As far as the choice of heroes, I believe the right choice was made. The character who w... [Read More]
Err... lessee, you forgot Corran Horn, Jacen Solo, GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN, Talon Karrde, Dash Rendar, Xizor, Nom Anor, and the list goes on... I'd have to go with Corran out of all of them, with Jacen a close second.... [Read More]
HK-47, no doubt. "So Malak was the original meatbag, huh? I kind of like that..." - Revan. There's nothing quite like a smart-mouthed, three-quarters sentient, looks down on "meatbags" droid to keep things interesting...... [Read More]
Yeah, caught that. about the weirdest case of reality follows sci-fi that I've ever heard of, I think. Especially since SW isn't really Sci-fi, it's space fantasy with a little sci-fi tossed in... Now, the trick is realizing that the all-powerful US... [Read More]
Yeah, the years thing threw me at first, too, but it's more consistent with the internal universe (which dates things from the Battle of Yavin). That consistency is what made the decisions, that and the fact that Lucas dates everything from SWIV. Po... [Read More]
I've just gotta go with Jacen Solo: (spoilers for NJO) 1. He is the NJO's equivalent of the Chosen One: he helps bring the Jedi back into balance, finishing that which his grandfather and started by concentrating the Jedi on the Unifying and Living... [Read More]
EDIT ! OMG !!!!! KERALYS I JUST READ YOUR POST ABOUT MACE in EP 3.... THANKS FOR NOT USING SPOILER TAGS Totally sorry about that, man. I didn't think about it; everyone knows that; in fact, it's been common knowledge since shortly after Ep. 1's relea... [Read More]
ugh ! Im sick of hearing about Zahn and Thrawn..........ppl like it as EU because it uses the same tired formulas(as far as character interaction) that are at work in the movies..... The characterisations are ridiculous, very comic book like. Not too... [Read More]
I have, unfortunately, now read Jedi Trial. It was, without a doubt, the worst SW book - and probably the worst book, period - that I have ever read. More on that later. First, the Medstar duology: It was pretty good. I liked Medstar I: Battle Surge... [Read More]
Err... correction: James Luceno isn't writing Jedi Trial. I don't remember who is. JL's writing the prequel and sequel to Revenge of the Sith, but someone else is writing Jedi Trial. Not sure where Astro pulled that one from. But it's somebody else..... [Read More]
Thanks for the compliment. wow...Im *really* interested in reading more about Nejaa Halcyon...lets hope Luceno consults Mike Stackpole when he is figuring out the character Even if he didn't, he'd nail the characters (see TUF for corroboration). But... [Read More]
Medstar I: Battle Surgeons was pretty good. It had an interesting feel to it, kind of like M*A*S*H* but in the Star Wars universe. There's not a lot of plot to it, per se, but what plot there is is interesting, and the character development is truly... [Read More]
Very true. And the use of logical versus scientific is actually appreciated. It's possible to be logical w/o being scientific and vice versa. The problem, as I see it, is that modern societies have adopted science as their gospel; to some people scie... [Read More]
In the mean time, I'll dig out the citations to books and papers that suggest that the most effective family arrangement with regard to raising children is the extended family relationships in which 8 to 10 people reside within the family dwelling an... [Read More]
Sort of. The Sith culture had existed in a primitive form for millenia prior to the arrival of the Dark Jedi, spurned by the Jedi Order in the results of the Great Schism. The true Sith - also known as the Massassi - died out finally in the Exar Kun... [Read More]
Also what does mtfbwu mean, cause I do not know... May The Force Be With You Always. hmm...interesting, is that from the CUSWE ?? I always thought Darth was just an abbreviation of DARk lord of the siTH Uh, that's what it says, I think. "DARk&qu... [Read More]
No, the "Darth" designation was (prior to this point) supposed to have arisen about 1000 years before the movies, when the great battle on Ruusan (read: Valley of the Jedi) took place, and only one Sith Lord survived, who then created the t... [Read More]
Calm down Kain... it's okay. We real SW fanboys, though, could do without Legacy of Kain, just not without KotOR II. Indeed, they have done an excellent job of integrating with extant EU. The Darth thing will probably be explained by saying that th... [Read More]
Well, if you really follow your argument to its logical conclusion, then the Exar Kun war itself didn't make any sense before its publication, because we'd never heard of it. Sure, the Sith kept coming back over and over again, concluding the massive... [Read More]
