That's the prequel to Death Troopers, right? If so, no big surprise there, then.

Luke asked Vader to "Let go of your hate."

Who did Vader hate, exactly? The Jedi, for not letting him be on the council? Seems an awful long time to hold a grudge. Obi-Wan, for "turning" Padme against him?

Something's missing there...

I'm close to finishing my Let's Read of Red Harvest on TBB thread. To anyone thinking of picking up the book, I'll just say this: don't.

In fact, based on everything that's been posted on that thread, I would argue that it is the nadir of the Star Wars EU. The ideas presented in it might not be on the same level of Bug Orgies or robot Leia, but the basic quality of writing, the quality of editing, and layout of the story are so atrocious that it reads like terrible fanfic.

At least we had the hilarious art with the Jedi Prince series. It doesn't have hilarious art.

I had to consult wookiepedia about that:

wookiepedia posted:

Soon thereafter, Vader was met by the seemingly unsurprised Darth Sidious, who executed the treacherous cultists. When Vader asked how it was possible for Darth Maul to have been brought back, the Emperor merely replied that it was possible for that which was destroyed to be brought back again. The Emperor told Vader that the cultists were heretics, and they should resume their search of the stolen Death Star plans.

Where is Padme? Is she safe?

The guy cut off his kids hand man, thats pretty dark. Plus his armor is black, can't get any darker!

At this point, only what happened in the Thrawn Trilogy, Rogue Squadron Series and TIE Fighter counts to me as canon.

I can not be the only one that watched Conan last night when Seth Rogan was on. Many of you here may not like either of those two but Seth spoke of his encounter with Lucas. I guess George truly believes the world will end during 2012.

I find that kind of hard to believe, because he's still involved with everything Star Wars and the first 3D-ish-ised Star Wars flick is supposed to come out next year. Why would he even bother if he was so certain everything's going to pot 2012?

For those who haven't been following the TBB thread, I'm about to start reviewing the comic Jedi vs Sith. And boy is it bizzare. As I mention in that thread, it looks and reads more like a Star Wars/Lord of the Rings crossfic than something that's part of the Star Wars canon (yes, parts of this comic are still canon :psyduck: ). On the other hand, the comic is really good once you accept it on its own terns, and the comic is a not-so subtle trolling of everything that was wrong with the Bantan era EU, especially the crap about Jaina and Jacen.

While looking through Wookieepedia, and I found this gem:

Wookieepedia posted:

nitially there was some debate as to whether or not Darovit was Force-sensitive, and whether Jedi vs. Sith intended to hint at this or whether it is just the result of over-analytical fans. This debate, however, was ended when Rule of Two specifically identified him as Force-sensitive, albeit only slightly.

Over-analytical fans? In my Wookieepedia? :irony:

Back when I still posted on TFN, I remember for a month or two there was a huge argument going on whether Darovit was Force-sensitive or not. Personally I think it makes the story better if he wasn't, but whatever. Yet another thing I don't like about the Bane books.

I actually really like Jedi vs. Sith. The visual aspect is strange compared to the rest of the EU but it makes sense given that it's at the end of a 1000 year long war that has literally destroyed galactic economy and civilization. And the story and characterization are excellent.

From what I understand, it's a concession to previously established mechanics. The book explained that Zannah had somehow lent her Force powers to Darovit through a Force Bond-but in order to have a Force Bond, both parties have to be Force-sensitive to begin with. Darovit was still really weak when Zannah wasn't buffing him, which is how he survives the Thought Bomb. But your right, Jedi vs. Sith works better if he wasn't Force-sensitive at all.

If others of you are reading this and the above doesn't make sense to you...just head over to TBB thread. I'll have the comics reviewed soon enough.

* Equals mad goon love for Star Wars because they can't admit to liking westerns.
