Like, A. Skywalker doesn't really count because it's only AND NOW I'M PREGNANT, and there's no romantic scene implying conception. Let's just be honest here, in the realm of Star Wars, neither author nor reader is going to be really well versed in sexuality.

I remember it being strongly suggested at the beginnings of the Bacta War (Mirax & Corran) and possibly Destiny's Way (Mara & Luke), but it's literally just the build up to it and immediately cuts to the aftermath. I think there's also a scene where Jaina and Zekk realise they've just had sex in front of a bunch of bugs, but that would be impossible seeing as no book whose content fits that description has ever been conceived or written.

In the Star Wars galaxy, all species asexually reproduce. Concepts such as lust and beauty are enjoyed on a purely artistic level. For example: Jabba isn't as creepy crime lord for having dancing slave girls he commonly feeds to his rancor for not dancing good enough, he's a lover of the arts. Art he loves feeding to his rancor. God, I love Jabba the Hutt. He's like the ultimate caricature of a crime lord. He's so obviously harmless in the sense that the only thing I could see him doing is eating someone who walked into his mouth, yet he's so loving wealthy that he apparently controls all crime ever. Cool dude. Sankara fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Oct 26, 2010 |

Man I don't even think it'd be that tough to climb back out of Jabba (or whatever Hutt this is!), unless Hutts have like seventy sets of teeth or something in the EU. I mean if Boba Fett can get out of the Sarlacc twice then Joe Blueboots can just turn around and slip out Jabba. GOD.

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I feel it's specific enough that it probably hasn't. I'm horribly behind in my Star Wars novel reading and I'm most of the way through Legacy of the Force, and I hit a bit of a question. Now I did not read all of New Jedi Order (finished Star by Star and went on a SW hiatus for roughly 6 years). When in Betrayal I found out that Pellaeon was supreme commander of the GA, and then I saw Wedge being harassed by an ex-Imperial, I made the assumption that the GA must be comprised of the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, who allied in the Yuuzhan Vong war, and then decided to keep the allegiance and form the GA. This theory of mine worked until seven books later, I'm reading Revelation and Jacen is trying to get the Imperial Remnant to commit ships and troops to the war. My question: Why was Pellaeon allowed to command the GA forces if he was leader of a faction not part of the GA? Was it because he was just so bad rear end? Pellaeon has always been one of my favorite Expanded Universe characters so I'm not complaining at any face time they give him, but I feel like I'm missing something. Also, since we're on the subject of novels, how good is Fate of the Jedi? Legacy has been alright, and I mostly feel like it's been slow a lot of the time because a couple years ago, not assuming I'd ever get back to reading Star Wars books, I had my friend give me the entire synopsis of the series. My reasoning is because I knew what was going to happen, it's just been a drawn out experience to get to the end. Fate of the Jedi remains much a mystery to me, and I've tried to stay away from any plot spoilers so I can be surprised a bit, but on a whole, is it better, worse, or the same as Legacy? When I finally catch up I might actually participate in threads like this. I'm just fearful of FotJ spoilers for the most part...

Just an update for those of you who love Star Tours:Disney Parks Blog posted:It was great to read your comments about the pilots of Star Tours on my last post. Some people really want to see Rex again in the new show. Others are excited about the introduction of the new character “Ace.” And then there are those who are speculating about a bigger role for Threepio. So, I thought it was time we set the story straight about just who will be in the cockpit in the new show. And guess what? You’re all right! Lucas!!!

When it originally formed in the NJO the Galactic Alliance was supposed to be a federation of the New Republic worlds, the Hapans, the Imperial Remnant, and the Chiss. By the time Dark Nest rolled around that had essentially been retconned/forgotten (like pretty much everything else from the NJO) so that the Galactic Alliance was only the New Republic but with a different name and the Hapans, Imperials, etc are still around. The Pellaeon thing is clumsily explained by the fact that he resigned from the Empire between NJO and Dark Nest, despite him still being the head of the Empire in Legacy of the Force...Basically just blame Troy Denning.

Casimir Radon posted:Walter Jon Williams writes creepy sex scenes, otherwise he's not a bad author. Destiny's Way was the first thing I read from Walter Jon Williams and both him and the book really impressed me - I felt it (along with Unifying Force) was by far the strongest book in the second half of the NJO - actually, given how little I liked Star by Star, probably one of the strongest books in the NJO period.

I guess Solaris was earlier but it wasn't really gritty to the same degree and certainly didn't have the impact. I know Ridley Scott said that Alien and Blade Runner wouldn't have been made if Star Wars hadn't paved the way for the "dirty future".

One thing that pisses me off about the prequals is that everything is so shiny new and functional. Especially in the middle of a goddamn galactic civl war. When you think civil war you should think the chaos of the French Revolution or the Russian Civil War of the twenties.

Destiny's Way was the epitome of what I found wrong with the NJO. This takes place immediately after Traitor. I expect Jacen to come back more confident and assured of himself and his role and ready to kick rear end. Instead he does an immediate 180 and goes back to his previous whiny, wishy-washy self. And after all the build-up between Jacen and the warmaster, you'd expect there to be a finale showdown between the two. Instead you have Jaina getting into a clumsy fight with him. Also Williams writes about how the NR was finally getting its war machine going, and after spending all this time getting its butt kicked was now ready to start pushing back. That concept was immediately dropped when a later writer decided they needed to emphasis that everything was in a stalemate. That being said, I did enjoy the writing in the book more than most of the other books in the series.

SeanBeansShako posted:One thing that pisses me off about the prequals is that everything is so shiny new and functional. I remember having discussion years ago about this. Some people seemed to say that maybe the Empire rounded up all the good tech to use for itself and people were left to just salvage what they could to make things work. The Empire would also use very dull colors and basic looking things to project a sense of well....blah, is the best word I can think of at the moment. Everything was dull and flat looking. Just the kind of thing you would want to help bring down the spirits of people. Kinda of like if you work in a cube farm with gray walls and florescent lights you're depressed all the time.

I think "uniformity" is the word that they would use. Discourage individuality in favor of creating a well oiled, hive mind machine. And I agree, that does seem to be a big part of the Empire, and probably a big reason for it's xenophobic tendencies. Thrawn was certainly different, and they hid him in the Unknown Regions. (You know, until there was no one left to run things.)

I get the sense that the EU is writting itself into a corner by introducing a Force Cthulhu into Star Wars. Because once you defeat Force Cthulhu (and anyone who knows anything knows this is going to be the outcome), where do you go from there? I suppose you can have a time traveling adventure, and thereby mess up the continuity beyond all recognition. Which would be sad, but oddly appropriate fate for the EU
