Haaaa, no.
Pilot rankings in my book:
Wedge
Tycho
Corran, Wes
Hobbie
Luke (he doesn't fly all the time, remember?)
Then, MAYBE Fel.
Now, why is Wedge above two jedi? Well in the book I, Jedi, Corran Horn barely outflew Tycho and that was only because Corran was reading Tycho's mind. And he BARELY outflew the man. And Wedge is BETTER.
Master tactician, reluctant politician, Ultra-Ace pilot, decent intelligence operative (when he bothers).
If Wedge were an RPG character, he'd be a mary sue no doubt.

Wedge without a doubt. Who else has convinced an entire enemy force to believe they're an Ewok?

>>23785888
Yub yub, Commander.
Oh yes, and I forgot god-tier prankster from my list earlier.

>Corran/Luke

If we dont take the force into account , these two suck donkey dick.

Corran because hes way overconfident and it should have gotten him killed a hundret times

Luke because he has little formal training

>>23785948
I would argue that he's overconfident because he's a fighter jock. I'm not saying that if the Force weren't there he wouldn't be dead, but there is a reason for the sheer ego of the man.
Though I would argue that Luke can't possibly suck donkey dick as a pilot because he's a Main Character, which means that he'll either receive training from some piloting master or he'll blunder through with sheer luck. Though honestly, Luke's story isn't that of a pilot.
He started out that way, sure, but he's following the path of the wizard-knight.

He wasent just an Ewok- he was a psychotic killer Ewok btw.

Vote for him /tg/ VOTE FOR HIM!

>>23785512
To be fair, Tycho had a better ship, and Corran was simultaneously trying to stay alive, not kill Tycho and keep his cover. Much harder than just shooting the man. Also, Fel's old wingmate should be on there somewhere.

Bror Jace all the way!

>>23787336
You notice that Tycho tends to outfly everyone when he has a decent ship. That one time on Adumar with the Blade 32s (that's right, right?) he was having a hell of a time because he went from basically a supersonic fighter jet to a biplane.
>keep his cover
Well... kind of. Obviously the whole 'not-shooting-at-people-attacking-you' deal would have given him away, but he didn't do anything else aside from the vision that would have exposed him.
He was just fucking lucky that the Foreign-Word-That-I-Can't-Spell weren't good enough to actually tell anything besides "There's a Force-Sensitive person out there."
>>23787273

Yeah, I kinda do the same thing. Like how the Republic comic series and the Clone Wars TV show are contradicting each other - I reconcile it in my head by saying "Jedi. Don't gotta explain shit."

Very liberating tool, is Selective Canon.

More of an All Or Nothing approach.

>>23790202
Probably because we've never really seen him piloting an actual fighter, just the Falcon and similar freighters. It' be like comparing an F-15 pilot to an C-130 pilot.

>>23790247
Ok, you've got a more hardcore approach to it than I have.

I'm pretty forgiving of the franchise as a whole, much like a woman who repeatedly "walks into doors." Some of it's fucktarded, some of it's beyond awesome, a good deal of it of it falls into meh.

But dat potential in the setting. Almost any type of story one could want to tell can be done in the Star Wars universe. Just a shame that the general quality isn't always up to scratch, with the exception of anything by based Ostrander.

>>23790430
Oh yeah, Star Wars has potential, but people abuse it like fuck. And the problem with expanding my small pool of canon is that reading each book/comic/whatever makes them 'real'. You know what I mean?
I've avoided reading the Vong War or any of that stuff except for a few pages which convinced me that it was shit (pro writing tip: if you can't hook a reader within the first three pages, you have failed).
I hear good things about Legacy, but that's still got all the things I dislike about the EU, including the retroactive adoption of desert ropes as Official Jedi Robes TM. You know who else dressed like a Jedi? Owen Lars, and he ain't a Jedi.
Man, I almost didn't read the new Wraith Squadron book and honestly I found it lackluster so I probably was justified in my hesitation.
I know my stance is very hadrcore, but I want to protect my nostalgia at all costs.

>>23790247
>Courtship of Princess Leia

This gives us Tenenniel Djo, and thus Tenel Ka, so I'm okay with this.

>No Callista
Eh, I was really a fan of Callista and felt the writing out of her via 'can only access the Dark Side, must go find a fix' was a writer's mandate for 'no Luke relationships' that was reversed with Mara. Because, honestly, I realllllllly hated Mara up until just prior to the Vong books.

>no Vong
It's different; not perfect, but to me, more interesting than 'Empire resurgence forty-seven: the new superweapon'.

>>23790719
>reading each book/comic/whatever makes them 'real'. You know what I mean?
Right there with you. If it's got the banner at the top, it's official.

>Vong War or any of that stuff except for a few pages which convinced me that it was shit
It was. Far too grimdark, actually read more like 40K than anything.

>Legacy
I've only read the Ostrander comic, ignored the books entirely. It is pretty good, a sprawling space epic that manages multiple characters/factions/fucking everything pretty smoothly. There are elements that will probably irk you - the Imperial Knights spring to mind, but they're not as retarded as you might think, and there was a dreadful crossover with other titles that feels jarring.

> the retroactive adoption of desert ropes as Official Jedi Robes TM
Know what you mean, but never really bothered me. Seen enough redesigns in the EU to convince me that a robe's just a robe in Star Wars.

> I want to protect my nostalgia at all costs.
The next few years will be hell for you. May the force be with you, my friend, because you're going to fucking need it.

>>23791017
Legacy doesn't have any novels that I'm aware of, just the comics. The most recent books were the Fate of the Jedi series, which is pre-Legacy.

>>23791045
...that would be what I was thinking of. Disregard that, I fellate banthas.

>>23791070
Nah, it's an easy slip-up. You do no such thing.

Not that Fate of the Jedi was that good; dark side Force entity was not my favorite villain (again, different, but...)

>>23790391

Are there weaponized C-130s?

Falcon is more of a small corvette than a freighter, with all the modifications that went into it. Is there even a fitting comparison among the airplanes?

Wedge motherfucking Antilles, how is there any doubt? He is even a real character(im looking at you eu).

>>23790247
>Courtship of Princess Leia totally happened because I loved it
I know. It's so badly written and full of bad cliches and stupid science but I loved it anyway.

But it has to be canon in my head because Wraith Squadron leads into it, and I love all the X-wing books, especially the Wraith ones.

>>23790978
I disagree with the 'Empire Incorperated; providing you with a new superweapon every day' plotline too, but I tried to read a Vong War novel back when it was just starting and it was the first book I started reading that wasn't finished.
That was big for me. And then I heard about Chewbacca dying and the I heard about Anakin dying and then Coruscant falls and this person dies and that planet falls and and and.
The more it went on, the bigger the hurdle it would be to finally get into it. So... for me, the Scarlet Witch said "No more Star Wars" and that's the way it went for... shit seven years?
>>23791017
I hear that Legacy is great, but... the burned hand....
As for the new Star Wars movies... I don't think I'll go see them, even if a miracle occurs and they include the EU. Just like I won't be watching the Hobbit trilogy; I already had my fill and now I'm done.
It happened when I watched Eva and EoE, it happened when I spent a month playing WoW, and it's going to happen with Star Wars.

>>23791125

Why would you need one when you can have purpose-built combat droids like IG-88 or the YVHs?

>Falcon is more of a small corvette than a freighter, with all the modifications that went into it. Is there even a fitting comparison among the airplanes?

AC-130 probably.

>>23791045
>>23791070
Might be confusing it with the Legacy of the Force series, which let into Fate of the Jedi and by far was one of the worst story arcs.Some people even consider it worse than the Vong.

>>23791169
Legacy is pretty good; it's got some interesting implications (like the Fel dynasty being descended from Jagged and Jaina), but the Skywalker character is a bit annoying. He's a bounty hunter who uses drugs to deaden his connection to the Force.

>>23790978
>>23791153
Did any of you read this thing... shit, what was it....
Like Prince of the Jedi or some shit?
Little kids novels, they had them in the school library when I was in eighth grade. Some shit about a secret robot city underground with only one living inhabitant: a Force-sensitive child.
The one book plot I remember:
>person pretending to be son of the Emperor, had three eyes, went on hunt for glove of Darth Vader, had implants so he could shoot lightning
>>23791225
Yoda is basically wearing a burlap sack and Anakin was best bros with Obi-Wan.
Also, they were probably from the same planet. Who has blond hair and blue eyes? Anakin, Luke, and.... Beru.

>>23791272
All that gets referenced in other novels too, like Anakin and Tahiri and their little fuzzy master Ikrit.

>>23791151
>He is even a real character(im looking at you eu).
We've already established the supremacy of Selective Canon ITT. That Lucasfilm "Levels of Canon" bullshit has been jettisoned with the rest of the garbage, as per standard procedure.

>>23791169
>I already had my fill
Yeah, had that thoughout life with various franchises. But after a while, I crave something of the familiar, which invariably leads me back to Star Wars.
Which is why the notion that the EU I've spent 15 years reading about could well be summarily discarded by these new flicks is...it's painful, man.

>>23791272
Fuck, I remember those books. I used to read them in my public library when I was in grade school. There was some pretty silly shit in those books now that I look back.

I also remember the Galaxy of Fear series. Unfortunately, I only ever read the first book and never managed to find the rest of the series.

>>23791272
>person pretending to be son of the Emperor, had three eyes

Good lord, glad I didn't read that.

>>23791301
Every few years I reread the ones that I liked. The pool is unfortunately stagnant.
Though I am thinking of getting my hands on Shadows of Mindor, is it any good? Anyone know? Also, did Scoundrels come out yet and is IT any good?
>>23791304
>Galaxy of Fear
Don't think I heard of that one, though looking at the wikipedia article, I guess it could have been interesting.
>>23791325
Even as a small child I could tell something was off about those books.
>Real son of the Emperor had the third eye on the back of his head so no one could sneak up on him.

I still haven't read Dark Empire. I don't think I want to, because the basic plot seems to be that Luke decided to pall around with a clone of the Emperor (reincarnated, whatever) to 'curb his impulses' and he became Darth Vader Lite complete with DARKSUIT.

>>23791422
I read the comic, and the artstyle was so GRIMDARK you could easily mistake it for 40k.

>>23791450
>art style was GRIMDARK
Well, that's not what I come to Star Wars for...
But the STORY, Anon, how was the STORY!

>>23791232
Yeah, the AC-130U, the most recent version of it anyway, mounts enough firepower to level a column of tanks. The next major revision is going to be mounting a 120 mm smoothbore and a better ECM.

...story?

Superweapons, superweapons everywhere, the Dark Side is basically Chaos power (again with the 40K, I know, but it's an accurate comparison) - a corrupting power source that could turn meek dickheads into KILLMAIMDESTROY warriors with one blast of Palpy's force lightning and power machinery. Oh and Boba Feet lost his helmet and then knocked himself out with a jetpack-assisted headbutt on a steel girder.

It was all very XTREME. Just don't bother - you don't want this to become "real" in your head.

>>23791816
>But the whole "intrinsically better than Jedi
That…that doesn't even make any sense. A Jedi is just about any alien who, on top of his natural abilities, has actual magic and follows a specfic philosophy. Does being a Mandalorian allow you to generate a field that makes Jedi suck or something?
That isn't to say that I don't think Jedi should never be beaten by non-Jedi, just that you have to work for it.

>>23791866
I swear when I looked at that thumbnail I thought that Deadpool had somehow gotten into the Marvel Universe and had disguised himself except for the mask.
But no, it's just some Devaronian.

>>23791870
Honestly, I always saw the Vong thing as an issue of evolution -- and a veiled callback to midichlorians.

The Vong are extragalactic entities, and as such don't have the thing that gives Force sensitivity or presence anymore (it's talked about in the books), save the one dude who shaped his own brain with World Brain tissue.

Apparently, according to Karen Traviss, the Mandalorians always have THE MORAL HIGH GROUND OVER THE JEDI due to Jedi apparently supporting slavery (ie: commanding clone troops) during the Clone Wars, despite the fact that the Jedi actually treated the clones like actual humans, as opposed to literally everybody else.

>>23791912
Courtship of Princess Leia and Young Jedi Knights were pretty cool.
Even if one was Gloriously Cheesy and the other was written by Mr. Superweapon himself.

>>23791930

....I....
I want some of whatever she's smoking.
Though, to be honest the way that characters tend to react to clones is like racism. Maybe it's just the idea that you can just copy a person and suddenly they're not an individual anymore.

defenders, simply to much superior in too many aspects. better firepower, better speed, better agility and better shields. of course this is going from memories of 'tie fighter' on PC.

much closer, similar firepower baring the xwing torps, although anybody in a interceptor who lets a guy get a torp lock on him deserves it.

xwings are more durable, interceptors faster and more agile so dodge better. could go either way depending on pilot skill, and pilots are damn near equal, that said xwings do probably win in the long run because their edge in durability is greater than the interceptors edge in agility

>>23792402
>The Book just turned Corran into too big of a Mary Sue, also first person narration does not work

first person narration is a matter of opinion, and corran is portrayed as a good but flawed character, clearly prone to overconfidence and arrogance at times. although he is also clearly one of stackpoles favourite characters

>>23791870

>It's like how the Vong are supposed to be undetectable in the Force when we are TOLD that LIFE creates the Force and if they don't show up then that raises some very strange questions

They actually answered this in one of the Vong books. The YVH's homeworld (a living, sentient force-sensetive planet) thought they were warmongering cunts, so it severed their souls/essences/whatever from the Force.

The Vong blew it up in response.

>>23792966
>The YVH's homeworld thought they were warmongering cunts
>The Vong blew it up

So their planet was right?

Wait, is it some weird parallel to us and our world?

>>23793040
>Wait, is it some weird parallel to us and our world?
Explain the thinking on that one, sentient.

>>23793040
>So their planet was right?

Yes.

>Wait, is it some weird parallel to us and our world?

I -think- so, but I'm not sure. The War ends when the seedling the planet spat out before its death finds the Vong and forgives them, returning them to the Force.

>>23793072
> the seedling the planet spat out before its death finds the Vong and forgives them, returning them to the Force.
Aw, fuck this. I want my Imperial superweapons back.

>>23793040
Technically they were. They waged war against sentient droids (the Selenium and something else, the Great Heep is one of them), razing many planets in their galaxy. Then, they went on a 'let's kill and conquer everything'.

>>23793088
I don't recall them regaining their Force connection, just giving up their galaxy-conquering. Them not being Force-sensitive is a plot point in Legacy, still.

>>23793088
That part actually wasn't so bad. I mean it was Zenoma Sekot, so it was pretty established.

And the real end of the war was Jacen killing Onimi, which -was- pretty bad.

>>23793124
>I don't recall them regaining their Force connection, just giving up their galaxy-conquering. Them not being Force-sensitive is a plot point in Legacy, still.

Oh, well fuck, sorry. Never read Legacy and the other EU stuff fucking never touches on them again.

Need to go pick that up I guess.

>>23793146
No big, man. I just wondered if I missed that or was just mis-remembering. The Vong are pretty much the galaxy's bitches in Legacy; they reformed, and at the behest of a Skywalker and the Jedi they try to un-Vongform the worlds they fucked up, as well as agriculture stuff with shaping. It works for a while. And then it backfires and turns into more Vongforming, which makes it look like they're trying to take over again. Sith sabotage with a CRAAAAAZY Master Shaper is fun stuff.

>>23793188
When i read Legacy , i really thought the idea of a pacified world brain on couruscant had potential , but it never went anywhere did it?

>>23793235
It's dead. During Fate of the Jedi, someone is trying to assassinate Jacen and it gets killed in the crossfire of the assassination, IIRC.

I also think that if he absolutely HAD to be evil, then he should have gotten redemption like so many other evil characters.

Yeah; like I said, I thought that redemption would have been a better thing than death.

Also, HMM. Looks like the newest Legacy comics have a Solo as the main character. Perhaps Alana's grandchild, since it's stated as Han and Leia's great-great grandchild.

>>23792620
We know he's amazing. Don't need to say it again.

>>23792769
You'd think that he'd KNOW what his dad thought was right, given that Daddy said to "Trust your feelings" and Corran's feelings tend towards light side.

>>23792569
>They blew it up!
You MANIACS! You blew it up! You blew it all up!
Damn dirty lizards.

>>23791272
I remember those, and still have them somewhere. They were unbelievably shitty.

Every other book (there were six) was some sort of environmental message. There was one about why the empire shouldn't hunt sentient force whales on mon calamari. There was one (the one with the kid in the robot city, or the one after dealing with the same plot) where trioculus was burning the entire forest planet down looking for the kid.

There was Jabba's grandfather zorbo, who had a beard (which looking back, is better than Jabba's gay purple cousin from the shitty CG show) and the writers (a husband/ wide team) tried to marry Leia and Han until they got a cease and decist from actual competent writers.

There was also a secret council of imperial wizards who judged trioculus' birthright, which he cheated by using sonic implants in his fingers to knock people out or something like that.

And it was NOT the series with the bunny Jedi master, that had to do with Luke skywalker's kids being trained as Jedi. The only book I remember from that series was one with sentient spider monsters and had a giant black snake on the cover.

Speaking of shitty Star Wars series, does anyone remember galaxy of fear? It was a horror series set in the Star Wars universe. The book I read was about an evil mynock that are people on an ithorian herdship or something like that.

>>23793273
Folks hereabouts been sufficiently schooled about Villie, then?

My work here is done.

>>23785991
Gotta agree with this. Corran and Bror Jace are both start out as Top Gun characters who stumbled into Star Wars.

>>23793589
Luke didn't have any kids until after Ikrit was dead; if you mean YJK, Ikrit wasn't in that. He was in the books that had Anakin and Tahiri, which I think were the Junior Jedi Knights (I thought these were them, but I might be wrong).

>>23792944
Villie is best bounty hunter

>>23793628
One of the Wraiths was explicitly based on Maverick, IIRC.

>>23793671
Yes.
Junior Jedi Knights was Anakin. Young Jedi Knights was Jaina and Jacen.

And was pretty good, all in all. Not great, but decent enough. Kinda makes me sad that Raynar Thul never got to do much outside that series. No, the Dark Nest trilogy DID NOT happen.

>>23792944
I love you.

>>23792966
Which doesn't make sense to me.
How do you cut off someone ELSE'S Force connection? Even if it IS a planet, the Force is literally everywhere and so you'd get it even if the planet decided to unhook the phoneline so to speak.

>>23793825
Ask the Jedi Exile from KOTOR 2.

>>23793384
Basically I, Jedi is full of great stuff as long as you ignore the actual novel.

jek porkins

>>23793384
I, Jedi and Shadows of the Empire gave me a wonderful look into how lightsabers are actually made.
>lol just author interpretation
Stackpole and whoever wrote Shadows had a very similar idea if Stackpole didn't directly draw on what was in Shadows.
"The best lightsabers have three crystals to create a fully customizable blade."
That's from Obi-Wan's book-o-Force-learnin' that was in his house on Tatooine.
Speaking of the book, it never shows up again. You'd think with an artifact like that (an actual fucking BOOK with PAPER), Luke wouldn't need to go Indiana Jones artifact hunting.

>>23793441
I'm still not reading it. I'm not saying I think it's bad, it's just not seeming to be my thing based on the glimpses I get from word of mouth and individual pages.

>>23793825
>How do you cut off someone ELSE'S Force connection? Even if it IS a planet, the Force is literally everywhere and so you'd get it even if the planet decided to unhook the phoneline so to speak.

The planet is retardedly force strong. I mean even the seedling, Zenoma Sekot, is insanely strong in the Force.

Certain events of great significance and power can sever the force.

>>23793727
Which were all Han and Leia's kids.
Luke has Ben, unless you derped and were saying Skywalker family youngin's.

>>23793889
>Stackpole didn't directly draw on what was in Shadows.
It's fair to say he did, considering the first half of I, Jedi could safely be described as self-insert fanfic of the Jedi Academy books.

>>23793825
Also, a planet from another galaxy. The rules may not apply there. Plus, there's examples of Force stripping as a punishment in some EU, IIRC. It's not outside the realm of possibility.

>>23793841
Never played KOTOR and don't really care to.
I don't really care how good it is, I don't feel like playing it.

>>23793945
Most people would say 'fix-fic', but details details.
I actually kind of liked the Academy stuff because it gives Luke the dressing down he needed after all the retardedness in the actual Academy trilogy.

>>23793841
Actually, that trick (Force Sever) predates KotOR by almost a decade. It was first mentioned as possible in Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War 1: Edge of the Whirlwind, and first used 4 issues later by Nomi Sunrider, to sever Ulic Qel-Droma's connection to the Force. And as used there it basically just makes a Force-sensitive individual no longer Force-sensitive, so it's not the same bullshit as the "explanation" for the Vong.

>>23793841
Actually, it's pointed out that Jedi Exile didn't have her force cut, she cut herself off in the face of the backlash and became a living wound, which was a problem cus she was also really good at Force Bonds.

Basically, she became a force black hole.

>>23794017
It is sort of implied in one the role-playing books that it has nothing to do with actually severing their force and more to do with making them think you have, like the supreme mind trick. Given there are guys that can trick you into believing you are on fire and you'll believe it, not entirely surprising.

>>23793956
The sheer amount of stubborn "nope, not reading/watching/playing that" ITT is beginning to seem unreal.

Dude, I'm not trying to sell you on these products, I'm using what was established in them to make various points. If you haven't played it, why not get thee hence to Wookeepedia and start reading?

>>23794017
Forgot about that one.

>>23794024
Again, forgot about that. Good catch.

>>23793988
Yeah...and it's Corran who delivers it, correct?

>>23794037
I have a feeling that's mostly me.
I am very leery of newer Star Wars things. I should really get over it and I have been convinced to pick up Republic Commando even if it contains full metal feels.
But once I gleefully devoured anything Star Ware which is why I remember that Prince of the Jedi crap, I am much more wary now.

Do what I do, mate - recognise that while the stuff you enjoyed as a youth was great, the franchise has moved on. But the best part? It's moved in all kinds of different directions, as previously demonstrated with Dark Empire and Villie's story. There are different types of stories for different fans, it's just a matter of identifying which sounds like it might be your bag.

Despite the whole thing about "read it, now it's real", it's good to try new stuff, because a different sense of perspective will help you realise that the new stuff (new movies aside) doesn't invalidate all of your favourites. They're still there, Zinsj, the Hapans and the rest. They just exist as part of a larger whole in that galaxy far, far away, and there's plenty left to discover and enjoy. The franchise always left me with a feeling of wanderlust, of wanting to experience the joy of exploration, sure in the knowledge that there would always be more to discover and appreciate on its own merits.
Say you discover something unpalatable, for whatever reason? Don't worry about it, they're only stories. At the end of the day, it's your experience, no-one can tell you how to enjoy it or what exactly did and didn't happen; I just think you could stand to branch out a little more and see what new wonders await you. And as eople sometimes forget, instilling a sense of wonder is what Star Wars should be all about.

>>23793945
>first half of I, Jedi could safely be described as self-insert fanfic of the Jedi Academy books

Seriously, Daala competes with Jar Jar Binks as worst Star Wars character ever made.

Gonna say it again - anything John Ostrander writes. Republic (now forever known as The Adventures of Villie and his Amazing Jedi Friends) and Legacy are all one huge story spanning 100+ years with fantastic art, great characters and new concepts that IN NO WAY invalidate anything that came before it. He's recently done the second arc of Agent of the Empire - straight-up James Bond-type Imperial Intel officer during the rise of the Empire. Get the to Google and see what else he's done.

Also:
Knights of the Old Republic, 40+ issues of some of the funniest and best SW adventures you'll ever read, requiring very little knowledge of the games. Which are also awesome.

Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison/Darth Vader and the Lost Command - two 5-issue minis chock full of feels. Again, all done with respect to the source material.

And quite a few more...

There are a few to avoid like the fucking plague - Dark Empire and Crimson Empire (no relation) come to mind, but hey - that's exploration for ya :)

>I NEED to read them
Yes...yes you do. Fair warning: it starts a little slow, there'll be one character concept at the start you may find offensive to the sensibilities a Tusken Jedi, but once Ostrander warms up the run he swiftly and painlessly retcons out the offensive - then the awesome truly begins and doesn't let up for an ungodly number of issues.

>confession
De nada, I read them too, including the third one (released 12 years later). It wasn't an improvement.

>>23794829
>Did anybody read the Dark Forces novellas/graphic novels?
YES! AND THEY WERE FUCKING AWESOME! Seriously, Soldier For The Empire is on my "you must read this shit" list for my Star Wars RPG (the old WEG d6 one) group.

Read and weep

>>23794866
I... I REALLY like this cover.

>>23794866
>that spoiler
Is it A'Sharad Hett?
Because A'Sharad is a badass mofo. And not, TECHNICALLY a Tusken. Humans and Tuskens can't actually interbreed, he's just a human raised by Tuskens.

>>23794903
Or rather his MOTHER was raised by Tuskens, but not one herself. My mistake.

>>23794859
I've read about her "Chief of State" gig before reading those books, and decided it was not worth it. I want to protect those remains of sanity I have still left.

>>23794903
Yup, and that would be the retcon. Let's say no more for the sake of the anon who sounds like he's warming to the notion of experiencing all of this for the first time.

>>23794875
YES! YES, SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS!
Oh god I loved them. They're on my list of things to buy when I have monies, I will also get copies of Thrawn trilogy and Hand of Thrawn which have the original artwork.

Did you know that there's an audio drama of Dark Forces as well? I haven't been able to *acquire* it. Does anyone know if they're any good?

>>23794859
With money that he never intended to pay back. Read his book with a healthy scrutiny. Hell, there's a lot of modern politicians using rhetorical strategies he outlined in there. You're just a conspiracy theorist if you point it out, though.

>>23794929
It's like my childhood is here again.
Anon... anon, the healing, can you feel it?
I can feel it. I feel the Force flowing through me.
Mercy Kill didn't heal me like it should have, but that doesn't matter now.

>>23794859
Hey, you remember how she gassed all those Moffs? Fun times.
No, not really. Kevin J. Anderson should have his special place in hell for writing those books

>>23794877
I dunno doesn't seem that bad. I mean, maybe I'm bias because Steve Perry wrote my favorite Star Wars novel (Shadows of the Empire) and I've been jaded by the drivel written by Kevin Anderson and Karen Traviss.

>>23794974
Except for Young Jedi Knights because it was surprisingly good.
Surprisingly good, even with the Very Special Episode about drugs.

It's been a good night.

>>23794928
Fate of the Jedi is actually pretty good because it spends a lot of time retconning out the shit from Legacy of the Force. Daala turns out to be an utterly incompetent leader (like always), and the Mandalorians are portrayed as massive assholes.

>>23795046
Isn't that because Karen Traviss dropped out of the ménage à trois?

> See this thread

> Other nerds nerding out over the joys of the X-wing books (and comics, and games, and associated novels like I, Jedi)

/tg/, I think I love you

>>23795080
I love you too.
All of the homo

>>23795046
But have they retconned away lolevilJacen yet?
Because that shit pisses me off.
Jacen was a fucking bro, god dammit!
But they just HAD to go and make him turn evil for no good reason.

>>23795030
Death Star is nowhere near "Shadows of Empire level.

And please, 500 X-Wings?
I'm not sure If Rebels had that many in their whole fleet around 0 BBY.

Their main base on Yavin IV had like, around 30?

>>23795105
They can't quite retcon that after his death, sadly.

>>23795107
Yeah; aren't X-Wings retardedly expensive around that time, and why they used cheapass B-Wing, and A-Wings later?

>>23795107
Let's be honest here though. The reason Yavin had 30 was because that was all the models Lucas could afford and all he could film without it getting too confusing. Who the fuck tries to overthrow an empire with 30 rebels.

>>23795105
Well, they encounter Jacen's Force ghost, and he pretty much admits he acted like a massive asshole and doesn't expect redemption, but he had his reasons. It's implied he did what he did to ensure the True Sith didn't take over the galaxy.

>>23795124
Like they've never retconned a death before.
>From a certain point of view.

>>23795107
Wasn't it close to a 50/50 spilt on Y-Wings to X-Wings?
And they lost most of those ships.

>>23795105
Be like me; never read them! Well, actually it's too late for you.
Maybe you should go live in Egypt and imagine Jacen and Tenel Ka having glorious Amazon Jedi sex.
>>23795124
Yes they can, by having Star Wars 7 initiating Landfall and destroying Nir-... sorry, that's Elder Scrolls.

>>23795137
>B-Wings
>A-Wings
>cheap
No, no they were not.
Around Return, A-Wings were basically hand crafted. Expensive as fuck.
