I really liked the Y-Wing in the old flight sim games. Mainly because the laser canons were side by side so I could take down TIE fighters in one shot.

I don't understand why they don't make a Wedge Game. Like where you wake up and you're Wedge and do you daily things. It'd be like the Sims but you also have space combat. And then you gently caress a Bothan.

Wedge never hosed a goat. He hosed a spy. Biggs' reject cousin or whatever is the goatfucker.

There's just wonderful amounts of trial drama :barf: involving Tahiri. Somehow Kyp gets away with killing an entire star system but Tahiri has to go to trial for killing a main character (One of the best characters mind you).

Wedge did gently caress a bird though. And he did it at least three years before any goat-loving was underway.

Then they had the first mutual breakup in Star Wars history.

You heard it here first, Jerry Seinfeld is Wedge IRL. I guess that means Luke is George Costanza.

This was how the first game's novel played out. It was really terrible. I'm hoping they learned some lessons though. Sean Williams is a decent author - I really enjoyed his TOR tie-in book. I'll give it a try because I'm a slut for everything Star Wars, but my expectations will be naturally modest.

When they did the Shadows of the Empire project they worked it really well. The book followed the main characters, the game followed Dash Rendar, and the comics followed the bounty hunters. So there was overlap but one was never an adaptation of the other. I've read they did this with TFUII comic, so maybe the novelisation will go off on its own route a bit also.

The first TFU book was really awful, but I read it anyway because I am a big dumby. This is my relationship with Star Wars.

I don't know the specifics but I believe Vader's lungs were hosed up when he lost the duel with Obi Wan. He has to have a breather most the time but in the sphere he can breath like it's an oxygen tent. It's also a cool way to introduce a mysterious recurring villain at the beginning of a movie.

I think a better question is why Vader's helm has to be put on him like that if he can clearly hold his own head.

Originally, I always thought his limbs were so damaged and the armor so restrictive he couldn't raise his arms past the shoulderpads...

He's just lazy, is all. You get used to moving poo poo with your mind, and suddenly actually reaching up and putting on a hat seems like soooo much effort.
