I thank you all for the welcome.

It seems that most of you don't like the litterature written by various writers for, and in, the SW universe.

Why is that?

Personally I HATE Kevin J. Anderson... He is really stupid!

The other facts sounded ok. But the die case was a bit weak. There was nothing to hint that it was loaded with lead on one colour. You're just assuming. Or reading SW fact books.

I hate the EU, it's given Lucas an excuse to not explain things. He probably thinks that those who really care will read the EU, and those who don't really care will never give it any thought, rither way it's lame.

Personally I think many of the EU writers are far better than Lucas. Biowares KOTOR, Timothy Zahn, The alternate OT comicbooks, Dark Empire etc. are superior to anything Lucas has done since ESB. But as you say, then there's Kevin J. Anderson... ermm.gif

I was thinking about reading it. unsure.gif

All that I have read by Anderson is very very bad. He has a tendency to make very silly choices. IG-88 being the Death Star core computer. Letting General Nadine being executed by at fat stupid Hutt. Making the Death Star super laser looking like a lightsaber. Making a little ship that flies thru suns. Making Boba Fett into the journeyman protector Jester Mareal..... ETC. He has even fucked up the Dune universe too. I can only implore you not to read any of his work if you like the SW universe. I made that mistake, and I suffer even now, so long after...

I see your point smile.gif

But....

The story were Bobba Fett is Jaster Mereel is Written by Daniel Keys Moran not Anderson, and may I mention that it was written way before Lucas's crappy telling of Fett in EpII, and it is Hell of alot better than Lucas's shit. In fact I hold it as the only true telling of Boba Fett that is credible, of course there is another story called "A Barve Like That" which is about how Boba Fett escaped from the Sarlacc Pit, its also pretty good

Any story where Boba Fett escapes the sarlac pit belongs on a StarWars fanfic board under the title "BOBBA FETT IS ROXORZ!!!!!!"

Oh, God...don't go anywhere near Kevin J. Anderson's Dune prequels if there's any way possible. His method is very simple: connect the dots. Take all of the interesting or memorable details from the original Dune and concoct a scenario with a minimum of plausibility but maximum of cheap irony to explain them. For example we learn that Baron Harkonnen became soft and fat because he raped Reverend Mother Mohiam and she retaliated by creating, during the rape, some sort of virus (uh huh) that caused the Baron to become fat. But his nephew Rabban has exactly the same problem - going to fat - without any supernatural intervention by a Reverend Mother. So was what the f**king point of Anderson's moronic interpolation? Also we're expected to believe that Shaddam, despite bringing the galaxy nearly to ruin by his stupidity in the Dune prequels, nevertheless remains cool and authoritative in Dune. Uh huh.

I agree with the first comment. Anderson is an idiot.

Whats wrong with Bobba Fett escaping the Sarlacc? I guess it could be possible, Its Bobba Fett for Gods sake!!!!!! apart from that he did have more armour on than anyone else there and his head was quite well protected, and the head is the most important part to protect. He still had his jetpack on and he still had all his concussion grenades, so, why not? but if you read, he did not come out spic-and-span, he came out exhausted, almost naked and badly injured.

Storm troopers have taught us that armor means precisely jack shit.

The problem isn't that it's unlikely, it's that it is Boba Fett. It's a novel that is written about Boba Fett. And not even about his past, but a flagrant attempt at ressurecting a dead bit character just to please fan boys. Next they'll be writing about what that other R2 unit that blew up in ANH did after it mysteriously recovered.

You mean the red R5 unit the Jawas try to sell to Owen? You're not gonna believe this JM, but it has already been done. Sort of. In Star Wars Tales (comicbook) the reason the R5 unit blows up is not because it "has a bad motivator". It's because it's really a Jedi Droid. Yep, you heard that right. R5-D4 predicts the future with its Jedi powers and self destructs so Luke will end up with R2-D2, the droid that will guide him to his destiny.

I read somewhere that in the original script C-3PO was suppose to sabotage the R5 unit, and that's the reason it blows up.

In the Name of the Baron, the Son of Suns, and the Holy Force Amen. You may sit. Many of us gathered here today have just heard from an EU Theologian, let us not be fooled by such heresy my children...When the Lord Papanoida made thine testaments, both New and Old, he thus also stated that the EU is not to be taken seriously...yes...lo and behold...some of us are tempted to entertain these "alternate" scriptures, like the Dead Sea Scrolls...my bretheren, we know how illegitimate these parchments written by false authors are and how unrelieable...for only the great Lord Lucas' words should we pay heed.
Thus we know, exqueeze me, these EU falsities are poodoo, and no such soul should ever think twice about touching their lies...the Great Cannon, of the Episodes 1-6...are the Holiest of Holies...let us pray...
Lord Baron Papanoida, hear our prayers, you sent to us thine Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, who descendeth into hell, in order to save the galaxy, but thus by his Son was Redeemed and ascended to Jedi Heaven, where he sits at the right hand of Yoda, and Saint Obiwan Kenobi Forever and Ever Amen.
