In one of the Jedi Academy books the kids get captured by a Tie fighter pilot who'd been shot down at the end of the first movie & had been surviving in the jungle for the last ten or fifteen years like one of those Japanese soldiers in WWII.

In a 70 page story end up fighting Boba Fett, program some droid storm troopers, troll the Emperor, take over the Death Star, and as mentioned, get blown up right before he releases code to take over all droids everywhere to kill all

It's probably the EU thing that makes me cringe the LEAST. Didn't a model of IG-88 survive in that story?

Hutts are tumblr esque hermaphrodites that arbitrarily choose a gender for no reason and they keep their young in marsupial pouches for hundreds of years. Their young can enter and leave the pouch all willy nilly and drink milk in the pouch and I remember one of them acting like the kid from leave it to beaver like "aw shucks mom do I have to go back in the pouch already?? Me and the other slug monsters were playing stickball"

Me and my friend recently watched all of the Star Wars movies in a row. 4 was really good, 5 was really good too, 6 was pretty good but had a lot of Lucas things in it. 1 was garbage, 2 was not very good, 3 was ok. Read "The Secret History of Star Wars". Some guy went and did extremely extensive research of the script writing process for all 6 movies. It's pretty obvious from it that Lucas is an okay writer although he loving hates writing (and it took a lot of people like Kasdan and Kurtz to make the scripts for 4 and 5 actually good). Also the Dark Side was called the Bogan for a really long time.

Pre-internet I had a book called "The Essential Guide to Star Wars Characters" or something like that. It has a lot about those characters that were in the background at the cantina or Jabba's palace. They were all pretty much sort of insane, but the weirdest one was like, the guy at the catina who was smoking a hookah or something. He wanted to suck out Han Solo's luck essence, because he could smell how lucky he was, and that's all this guy did, travel around space sucking luck from handsome lucky dudes. I was pretty sheltered pre-teen girl but when I read that I conceptualized the idea of homoerotic before I knew that such a term even existed.

Anakin building C3PO was really dumb but having them in the movie does kind of fit. There's a theme of technology regressing under the Empire that that fits in with really well. A better writer could have found a better place for him though. If they'd made 3PO an assistant to Palpatine or some other kind of bad guy it could have actually been an interesting point of character development with his memory wipe being somewhat meaningful instead of a filled plothole. Also jet pack R2 was really dumb and out of place.

She met George Lucas when Verna Fields hired her to work as an assistant editor to George while editing US Information Agency documentaries, and they were married between 1969 and 1983. They adopted one daughter, Amanda, who was born in 1981. That's the entire drat thing.

quote:It is interesting to note that there are an even number of justices in the Supreme Court. No mention has yet been made on how split decisions are handled or avoided. This may be an explanation for having four trials of Nute Gunray, if the Court was split in deciding each of them and unable to reach a unanimous verdict, (if this was required) causing a deadlock.

G (George Lucas) canon is absolute canon. This category includes the final releases of the six films, the novelizations of the films, the radio dramas based on the films, the film scripts, and any material found in any other source (published or not) that comes directly from George Lucas himself. G canon outranks all other forms of canon. T (Television) canon, which comprises Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. This level of canon is considered to take precedence over C canon (see below), possibly due to the fact that George Lucas is directly involved with these shows as executive producer, and in the case of The Clone Wars is also on the writing team. This level does not include any series before and including the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series. C (continuity) canon refers to the main body of EU work, and is the next most authoritative level of canon. All material published under the Star Wars label that doesn't fall into either G, T, S, or N canon is C canon and is considered authoritative as long as it isn't contradicted by G or T canon. S (secondary) canon refers to older, less accurate, or less coherent EU works, which are immediately overwritten by anything in the main continuity of G and C canon, but are fully canon whenever they do not contradict something of higher canon. For example, this includes the popular Star Tours attraction, the MMORPG game Star Wars Galaxies, and certain elements of a few N-canon stories. N continuity material is also known as "non-canon" or "non-continuity" material. Lego Star Wars, "what-if" stories (such as those published under the Infinities label) and anything else that cannot at all fit into continuity is placed into this category. N canon is the only level that is truly non-canon. D (Detours) canon refers to the canon of the animated parody television series Star Wars Detours. Despite being completely distinguishable from N canon, it is still completely non-canon. D canon is typically also classified separate from the other forms of canon

Lucas was literally doing a first draft so late during making of Episode 2 that concept artists did work on his descriptions instead of anything from an official script. He used the first draft as the official script. Also the reason for Lucas using pretty much the first drafts for all 3 prequels is that he had the movies figured out in his head for years before. Unfortunately he needed 3 movies and only had material for one, so what he did was simply put part of his ideas into Episode 1, almost none of them into 2, and then most of them into 3. He agonized over the gap he had to write to bridge 1 and 3.
