TOILETLORD posted:they need to make a jedi in the new trilogy a duelist that fights with a blaster and a saber at the same time. I really never under stood why they didn't have a blaster on hand how else are they going to easily kill a dude 100 meters away. Also you would think jedi's would pack a ton of grenades since they can use the force to make them go exactly where they want to. Luke used a blaster just as much, perhaps more so, as a lightsaber in the OT.

One of the more prominent characters of the Bounty Hunters trilogy is a genuine-article space spider sitting in a space web spun in the vacuum of space, which creates smaller and stupider spiders to perform very specific tasks, kind of like the societal setup of Brave New World, which are helpful to it in its job of being a galactic information broker. Eventually the smartest of the little spiders, called "Balancesheet" because it was made to be a little accountant, kills daddy/mommy/parent spider and takes over its job.

gohuskies posted:The Darksaber battlestation was a superweapon built by the crime lord Durga the Hutt in 12 ABY. there's a year system? w quote:A member of the Besadii kajidic, Durga wanted to use the superweapon to hold ransom entire great name, "besadii kajidic", has a lot of presence quote:Based on the set of plans for the original Death Star battlestation stolen by Durga from the former Imperial Information Center on the galactic capital of Coruscant, the Darksaber was designed by the engineer Bevel Lemelisk, the creator of the Death Star and a number of other superweapons. Lemelisk adjusted the plans to the Hutt's wishes, removing all the Imperial padding and leaving only the central superlaser weapon, encased in a cylindrical durasteel shell. The resulting shape closely resembled that of the lightsaber, the traditional weapon of the Jedi Knights, so Lemelisk christened his creation accordingly: the Darksaber. it's like Wow this car has all this useless poo poo on it, lets get rid of the fuel tank and the seats and everything but an engine and a wheel! quote:Located in the Hoth asteroid field, specifically Hoth's asteroid field? not just some random asteroid field anywhere it had to be an asteroid field next to something from the movies? quote:the Darksaber Project, as it was also known, was financed by Orko SkyMine Asteroid Processing Corporation, a faux corporation owned by Durga. However, the construction of the superweapon was plagued with difficulties. The materials purchased from low-bid contractors were of poor quality; the computer cores provided by Durga's ally, Sulamar, were outdated; and the hive-minded Taurill species who assembled the Darksaber were often distracted, and, as a result, tended to make mistakes in the construction. hive minded taurus's that can't think straight, that's a great idea for a species! so basically it's a korean knockoff death star quote:As he witnessed that, Lemelisk started to lose faith in his project, but he continued with the work in fear of displeasing Durga, and construction on the Darksaber dragged to the closing stages. By that time, the New Republic became aware of Durga's superweapon and tracked his yacht to the Darksaber's construction site. A three-man commando team led by General Crix Madine was subsequently dispatched to sabotage the weapon and leave it adrift in space until a larger fleet could arrive to destroy it. quote:The New Republic team failed in its mission, however, and two members of the team were killed, while Madine was captured and brought before Durga on the Darksaber's bridge, where he was executed as well. haha, jedi are loving useless quote:Just as Madine was shot by Durga, a New Republic strike force led by General Wedge Antilles arrived to engage the Darksaber. Certain that his weapon was fully functional, Durga commanded his crew to take it into the asteroid belt in order to evade pursuit, while Lemelisk, who was not so sure about the Darksaber's operational status, escaped. As Antilles's forces attacked the Darksaber, Durga took his weapon into the most dangerous part of the asteroid field, where the Darksaber's way was blocked by two massive asteroids. Durga tried to use the superlaser to clear the path, but the weapon did not work, and the Darksaber was crushed by the asteroids. Lemelisk was, in turn, captured by Antilles's forces, and, after a trial, was executed for war crimes. quote:Edit: quote:The Darksaber was an ancient, black-bladed lightsaber. Unlike most other lightsabers, the Darksaber's blade was nearly flat, thin, and curved to a point more typical of a metallic sword. The black core of the blade appeared to draw in all surrounding light and color, leaving a faint white, electrical aura along its edges, it hummed with a higher-pitched whine than its more common lightsaber counterparts when the blade was active, and made a sound like a whistle when it was swung. deviantartsaber quote:Once held by the Jedi Order, during a period of collapse in the Galactic Republic's power, the Darksaber was stolen by members of the Mandalorian warrior clans. deviantart saber was stolen by the special snowflakians, got it quote:Over time, the black lightsaber was passed down through generations of the Vizsla clan, and when Tor Vizsla founded the radical Mandalorian splinter group known as the Death Watch, he chose the Darksaber as the symbol of his authority as the sect's Secret Mandalore UGH ENOUGH tor vislas and pre vislas and secret mandalores, i don't want to use a brain cell that know what any more keyboard mash star wars names are

Eventually the smartest of the little spiders, called "Balancesheet" because it was made to be a little accountant, kills daddy/mommy/parent spider and takes over its job. i remember that book the spider was so greedy it recycled its own poo into materials instead of dumping it out of its space web i remember that the book had a lot of made up high concept things like that like a organic microrecorder that was a little bug that ate sounds and could squeeze them back out, hutts that were so paranoid they lived in robot hermit crab shells, a planet punished by the empire by introducing an invasive species, a species the empire mutilated into mines with creepy shovel hands and cillia to breathe toxins on their faces i remember thinking it didn't feel like star wars because it was actually creative

They kept screwing with why that movie works. Where's the drama if he was already an okay guy trying to do right? He's supposed to be an rear end in a top hat who was finally won over by love for his son. So now he was an antihero who also cuts his kid's arm off and tortures his daughter and blew up her planet, for the powers of good??

And Morgoth's forces had troop transports that propelled themselves through "a fire" inside them and just so happened to have been first written about during World War I, when Tolkien was fighting and got to see tanks firsthand (he was rather appalled).

They were gonna kill you so she freaks out and cuts them from the force which kills them because they are crappy people who can't survive without the force. They were exactly the same as the Sith Lords who couldn't survive without the force. It's part of what makes the conflict so good in that in some ways Kreia was right that the difference between Sith Lord and Jedi master was in name.

Professor Shark posted:This actually interests me, which story was it? tia It was in the Silmarillion, I no longer have the book (ruined when the roof of my garage leaked) but since it's about the Númenoreans bragging about their abilities at the height of their power it's likely in the Akalabeth chapter or slightly before, near the end of the book. A quick Google reveals that Christopher Tolkien's anthology of his father's notes and miscellany, the History of Middle-earth, also mentions this: J.R.R. Tolkien, The History of Middle-earth posted:"The teaching of Sauron has led to the invention of ships of metal that traverse the seas without sails, but which are hideous in the eyes of those who have not abandoned or forgotten Tol Eressea; to the building of grim fortresses and unlovely towers; and to missiles that pass with a noise like thunder to strike their targets many miles away.” They were made of metal, they did not have sails, they were ugly to people used to wooden ships, and they launched long-ranged missiles with rocket engines or similar on them. Tolkien frequently associated industrialization with evil (see what Saruman did to Isengard) so Sauron's involvement is no surprise. E: And yes, Morgoth's armored vehicles appear in The Fall of Gondolin. Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Dec 4, 2014 |

I wonder if that ridiculous stereotypical drug dealer with the stupid name from Episode II has an EU backstory. Who am I kidding, of course he does. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Elan_Sel%27Sabagno quote:Elan Sel'Sabagno, also known as Elan Sleazebaggano, was a Balosar medical student on Coruscant who fell in with a bad crowd. He eventually became a slythmonger, and dealt death sticks in the Outlander Club in the Uscru Entertainment District. Of course, since nothing can be called by its actual name in Star Wars because it wouldn't be space enough, he's a "slythmonger" and not a drug dealer. They even gave his half-assed sub-Star-Trek-grade alien makeup a backstory too. In typical unimaginative EU fashion, since the one from the movies is a drug dealer, they're an entire species of drug dealers: quote:Biology and appearance E: And of course just meeting one major character is not enough so he has to meet Boba Fett AND his father too.
