Most CD threads are pretty good unless you got Team Zizek or hyperliteralists up in there

but even then, for example, you got gems of posting in the comics movies thread like the cinematography discussion.

This is funny (well, besides the obvious reasons) since I remember back in the early 2000s there was a big fan theory/rumor on TFN that Pellaeon was supposed to be gay. Then Traviss turned him into a womanizer... I actually think it is funny that given how "traditional" most relationships in Star Wars tend to be, here we have Pellaeon, who has two bastard sons from two different women.

Actually, that picture makes even more sense given that Thrawn and Pellaeon were based on Holmes and Watson, and of course the Tumblrette crowd loves shipping them more than anyone.

I could have sworn that was supposed to be Garm Bel Iblis.

Why do I know who Garm Bel Iblis is? I'm such a nerd.

Oh yeah, I remember those Bel Iblis/Talon Karrde theories as well. Also the really early theory that Ysanne Isard was the mother of Mara Jade.

There's a line from, I think, Vision of the Past, when Pellaeon is contemplating the quiet death of the Empire and the prospects of reaching a peace settlement with the New Republic, and his aide says something that comes off as sort of homoerotic, like, "We all felt the loss of Grand Admiral Thrawn keenly, but none moreso than you" <touches his arm> "If there's anything I can do..."

Excerpt from Steve Perry's Star Wars Legends: Shadows of the Heir to the Empire posted:

A tall man-no, not a man but an exotic-looking alien-rose from behind a large desk and smiled at him.
"Ah," he said, "~~Princess Leia Organa and Chewbacca~~ Captain Pellaeon. Welcome. I am ~~Xizor~~ Thrawn."
It was the voice he'd heard over the bridge's comm.
~~Leia~~Pellaeon's pulse speeded up yet more. he felt a sudden giddiness, as if his brain had fogged over. So here he was at last, facing the person in charge of the galaxy's largest ~~criminal orginization~~ Imperial Remnant. That was strange enough all by itself, but to make it even more so, he was absolutely...gorgeous!

He would enjoy administering the single antidote to Pellaeon. He would enjoy it very much indeed..

So, I'm reading Heir to the Empire for the first time(yeah yeah) and I'm wondering how later Zhan books explain the clones and his vision of the Clone Wars compared to what we go in the prequels?

# ? Aug 16, 2014 06:05

Considering that Zahn hasn't written about anything regarding clones since the prequels came out, you'll probably be wondering forever.

Enjoy.

I think he did write a short story from Insider ten years or so ago that included his version of the clones in the Clone Wars but I forget what exactly was in it.

He sardonically covers it in an annotation from the 20th anniversary edition.

[...] My assumptions about the Clone Wars were exactly backwards: I assumed the clones would be fighting against the Republic instead of being on their side. (Nice twist, George!)

And Timothy Zhan made a pretty good assumption. The winner of the war gets to write the history, which would be the Republic/eventual Empire. They wouldn't have referred to it as the Clone Wars because they fought with the clones. From the Republic's perspective it should have been called the Droid Wars.

As the OP of that thread and the one that wrote the Jedi Prince let's read...no. I never got around to putting them up somewhere other than here. Which is too bad, as even the archived one has broken images now, if I remember correctly.

And it was pretty much literally everyone's assumption from the moment it was mentioned in Star Wars.

So, despite the really tired "Jedi that escaped the purge" (at this point, how many of them didn't?) opening plot, and the typical YA/kids oriented premise and protagonist, I can't help but be excited to at least see what Rebels is like. The vividly exploding TIE Fighters makes me want to at least check in.

Why, thank you.

And I was mostly including my own stuff there, if someone wants to preserve their Let's Read there, just let me know.

I'm also currently planning a sort of web series covering the entire EU, both good and bad, starting from the Thrawn trilogy and snaking all over the place. The biggest problem I'm having so far is coming up with a title for it. Suggestions welcome!

That reminds me, I really need to track down copies of the entire Jedi Prince line for it.

While we're talking titles, it dawned on me that a good candidate for a book/doc/webthing on the new films throwing out the majority of the EU and the reactions from "raped my childhood" types would be Star Wars: Moisture Farming :qq:
