It's not the in universe date system, it's just what the EU nerds use since its really easy to just compare it to the first movie that's really all there was when the EU stuff started happening.

Lady Gagazula posted:Apparently, a pair of GNK Power Droids would come to one's door and request funding for a religious fringe group. Advice from renowned linguist Ebenn Q3 Baobab was that one should merely utter the phrase "Gonk. Gonk. Gonk ko kyenga see," a highly controversial statement that was not allowed to be legally translated (see Baobab Security Directive 51-C).

I randomly wondered whether someone made up a hutt Jedi (knowing they obviously did). Turns out he was killed in a lightsaber fight by Leia. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beldorion

I always ended up liking the characters who were basically normal dudes and still killed a poo poo load of Jedi and Sith because gently caress force users. If any of you've played that F2P SW MMO, Imperial Agent is pretty sick for this.

My party befriended a Hutt professional wrestler named Hulka the Hutt. During the climatic battle for the end of the campaign he performed a hurricanrana an a large war droid by jumping out of a clone transport onto it.  Better than most EU events by far.

Fetus Tree posted:i tried that game for like 20 minutes and could not get into it at all Most of the game is boring as gently caress. They let people who pre-ordered the next expansion get a 12x boost to class/story exp, meaning you could level an MMO character on your own in a few days rather then months. The Light side characters are all pretty stupid. The only good one is the Smuggler, who's entire motivation is "Wheres. My. Ship?" The Dark side are pretty good, especially the Agent, which is more or less James Bond in space. Bounty Hunter is pretty cool because you basically murder your way to the top of the galactic power structure going "gently caress you, pay me"

Anyway starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Callista_Ming Jedi lady in the old republic goes on a mission and dies and somehow puts her life essence into a computer. Luke skywalker finds the computer and falls in love with it cause like half the eu books involve Luke falling in love with ladies. One of Luke's students kills herself cause she can't bare to live without her husband or whatever that just died and everyone's like "hey that computer chick can take her body now!" But when she moves into the dead chicks body she finds out she can't use the force and her and Luke decide this is a total mood killer and they break up. That's it.

Were there any goons or goony-like poo poo before Star Wars? I feel like Star Wars started all the problems the Internet eventually became known for.

is the alien with three eyes named trioculus distinct from the alien with three eyes named ree-yees, and if so, what are the names of other aliens who are defined primarily by the number of eyes they have in the star wars EU

How many moronic lightsaber gimmicks have they had in all? I recall a lightwhip at some point, as well as the aforementioned Darksaber. Even Darth Maul's gimmick weapon was pretty dumb and obviously designed to sell toys.

From that point on, the year in which the Battle of Yavin occurred was the epoch used for the dating system.[2] It was used by the New Republic, as well as the subsequent Galactic Alliance. Many regions, however, kept their own calendars, including the Imperial Remnant" any question you ask about the star wars eu always has the worst possible answer
