I liked the legacy of the force comics. Dark horse was even doing a sequel with a long decendant of the Solos, but it ended early with marvel getting the license.

The only star wars character I ever roleplayed was a guardian jedi (if I'm remembering the term right, this was the 3.0 Star Wars rpg basically) Twi'lek named Adkov Mur, which is Vodka Rum backwards

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Also do they even need to call it "the new republic?" The Republic existed for like, 10,000 years or more, and then went away for like, less than 25 years, and then it came back. Any senators not rubbed out by Palpatine should still be alive, assuming rich people in Star Wars can afford life-extending medical care. This empire be a tiny little footnote in galactic legislative history, with many people on outer planets barely even noticing any change. It was pretty clear that in Ep 4 they wanted the old republic to have been around at least 50 years prior but that went out the window with the retcon of Vader being Luke's father

Star Wars 1313 (that Uncharted clone) was probably the most interested I've been in the Star Wars universe, but then Disney canceled it and shuttered LucasArts  I watched the first 2-3 seasons of the CO Clone Wars series. It had a few good episodes, and it actually managed to make Anakin Skywalker an interesting character instead of a petulant, spergy manchild.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/John_Lithgow wanna meet that Yoda PatTwo posted: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. Science fiction conventions have been a thing since the 1930s. If anything Star Wars made the sci-fi scene slightly less  because when it came out the pulp adventure of HG Wells and John Carter of Mars and old Republic serials had given away to the self-serious  and  of Asimov and Star Trek and Star Wars helped tip the balance in the other direction.To this day the people in the really super goony upper echelons of sci-fi fandom will start sputtering if you call Star Wars "sci-fi" because it's actually science fantasy  MeatwadIsGod posted:Star Wars 1313 (that Uncharted clone) was probably the most interested I've been in the Star Wars universe, but then Disney canceled it and shuttered LucasArts 1313 looked hilariously bad. They were trying so hard to make Star Wars be gritty and dark, one of the promo pieces they released was a bunch of homeless people gathered around a trashcan fire only the trashcan was a droid  LucasArts getting shuttered is a blessing because they've been poo poo for almost two decades now, every good Star Wars game has been made by 3rd-party developer like Obsidian or Pandemic

Only after the rest of the authors got in on it. In the Thrawn Trilogy, the Grand Admiral does make a few mistakes, and he is duped by Lando when he tries to steal New Republic warships. It was only after Zahn that everyone kept orgasming over how super invincible Thrawn was, and it got really annoying. Like how they take one instance where Thrawn perceives a tactical advantage from looking at a Species's painting, and suddenly Thrawn can defeat anyone by looking at their artwork.

Young Freud posted:Yeah, Guardians Of The Galaxy was popular because it was grungy Star Wars that focused more on a group of mercenary ne'er do wells instead of the honorable galactic elite like the Nova Corps. There was an element of mysticism in Guardians of the Galaxy which they wisely left mostly unexplored, like how the Force was treated in Star Wars '77. That's one of the faults of Star Wars: focusing way too hard on Jedi stuff, particularly glowstick fights. Empire got it just right. It gave us just enough Jedi stuff with Yoda training Luke (which never involved either of them dancefighting with glowsticks) while cutting back to Han doing scoundrel stuff to keep it fresh. The prequels are almost 100% Jedi business, and it's weird because you wind up learning more about the Force in Empire because almost all the prequel Jedi business is glowstick dancefighting. Glowstick dancefighting is only cool when you only use it sparingly and has some kind of emotion behind it, but man, in the prequels, those Jedis whip it out at the drop of a hat. There's a loud startling sound in the first scene of Phantom and boom they're lit up. Wouldn't a Jedi, like, try to feel with the Force to figure out what's going on first? burritolingus fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Dec 1, 2014 |

Also, the Jedi of the prequels (and its EU) are pretty hosed up. They're an organization that kidnaps babies and then forces their religious doctrines on these kids without their consent (including a vow of celibacy) and also trains these little kids in using a lightsaber at a very early age (some of those kids in Attack look like they're six), which is basically the most lethal weapon in the galaxy, and they don't have to answer to the Senate. Who thought any of this was a good idea? burritolingus fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Dec 1, 2014 |

I know early on that a lot of people wanted more of the Cantina scene, with all these strange-looking characters and really simple way of worldbuilding, yet Lucas wanted to focus on the Skywalker family politics, especially in regard to the prequels.
