also why are all the controls and electronics that keep vader alive on his chest where they are most likely to be damaged.

since vader can see the future, why did he not just choke the poo poo out of batman before batman could do anything did anything? Some sad EU here. Batman vs cad bane or boba fett i could see.

Bonzo posted:You mean like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj23dwWHukY&t=110s Oh snap. Those 3 minutes were better than the whole of the prequels combined though that is a very low bar. No dance fighting, dudes were swinging for kills. Surprising excellent costumes. The sourced lines were well used. Some of the effects were rough, but given the budget it was admirable. Even the camera shaking wasn't bad as it was controlled unlike every other director in Hollywood who seem to hire seizure patients for camera work.

I was going to post a link to Troy Denning's future after the Star Wars EU was cancelled for laughs, but it looks like he is returning to writing D&D books, so he's set for life. There's nothing that fanbase loves more the serious and gritty rape mixed with insane super-powers.

blowfish posted:Don't forget unironic use of the words "fandalorian" and "talifan". Oh the travissty~~~ I remember that when the New Jedi Order series started, all the writers involved had to meet regularly, discuss the overall plot, and make sure everything would mesh together. Because they got to kill an original character, Chewbacca, everyone seemed to take it seriously and there was a huge amount of collaboration between the various writers. People who got the Jedi stories would make sure the non-Jedi characters acted the same way, major events were planned out well in advance, and even with so many different authors there was a sense of continuity to the storytelling at least. It's a hilarious state of affairs that the last 10 books of the Star Wars Legends series consisted of 2 authors so obsessed with their own fanfiction they more or less contradicted each other every chance they got and took their own obsession to higher and higher levels. From what people have said online, Traviss' books weren't really bad until she started getting antagonistic towards the canon and then lost her loving mind trying to make 'Mandos' the greatest heros in the galaxy.

But yeah it always boils down to "how much prep time does Batman need to beat that guy" and not can he.

I just stick with the X-wing books because I like fighter pilots and astronauts and X-wing fighters are basically both. my favorite bit is when Piggy (a Gamorean pilot) captures a mini imperial corvette with a jury rigged one use missile/spaceship + the cannon of an X-wing that they altered to make it into a big-rear end handheld riffle. The 'ship' (made from a smuggler's compartment) shot into the corvette's open cargo bay door and Piggy exited and took the whole ship hostage with the cannon after frying the captain. Seriously badass imo

Great action can be found in many books but the Wraith Squadron series was to my knowledge the first Star Wars series written by someone with an actual sense of humor, and that poo poo was a first for the entire saga movies included.

StashAugustine posted:troy denning is literally the worst star wars writer which says a hell of a lot Like how he treats all the women in his books? In Tempest, I think, he has two Dark Jedi butcher a female jedi and pin her dismembered body parts all over a public park. And he also made seventy year old Princess Leia dress up like a stripper with four arms. Oh, and he wrote about bug orgies. If women aren't loving in his novels, they're being beaten, or raping teenage boys.

I was just looking through that link someone posted about Vader's many many secret apprentices and it turns out that plausible sounding poo poo you made up is actually fairly close to actual EU content. Vader actually did use a secret agent with implanted memories to organise a rebellion and kick off a galactic civil war which would give him a chance to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. The agent died a noble death when he fought Palpatine in order to let the rebel leaders escape his clutches. (Also it turns out that the rebel alliance that Luke and Leia get involved in was totally Vader's idea all along.)
