All the really terrible stuff in the EU comes from stupid stuff being presented as deadly serious and dramatic. The clones were younger than the padawans though since they were pre-teen slaves who had greatly diminished life spans due to forced aging. Denied childhoods and forced into a life of slavery and war by a group of strict religious fanatics and they'd be murdered if they failed their loyalty tests to the Republic.

The clones were just a different kind of slave. Order 66 was literally ingrained into their subconsciousness, and even though they showed regret there wasn't much they could do about it. Technically this isn't an EU thing since that was in Revenge of the Sith and was like one of the only good parts of the prequels. uhhhh I mean star wars is piss for nerds

david... posted:how does the eu explain why lightsabers aren't infinitely long, how do you stop them and make them come to a rounded point, those claws are ok but i want one on each finger, 20 ft laser fingers and thumbs just waving their hands over a battlefield I remember reading or being told that the "blade" is actually a tube-shaped forcefield in which the lightbeam bends/reflects at the top and comes full circle back to the crystal or something. That forcefield also seems to be the reason they need to push a blade of light through something instead of effortlessly placing the hilt at a surface and have the blade extend itself through the material. Like, you know, a laser-sword would actually work.

Improbable Lobster posted:An actual laser sword would just heat things up for a while until they maybe melt Exactly. It would geat up/melt things in a straight line, without the need to press the hilt against, letst say, a blast door. Because light has no mass that you need to shove through material.

They just gave him and office and ask him a quick question and if he starts talking non stop like a wookiepedia article they cut it from the potential EU.

I mean, think about it, they have access to probably thousands of different Star Wars stories that have already been proven popular or not. I'd be taking elements out of the EU constantly and putting my own spin on them.

There is no quality control because the premise of the EU is stupid. Star Wars isn't droids and lightsabers and the Force it's Han and Luke and Vader, etc and the specific story of the Original Trilogy. It's why the sequels are probably going to be mediocre at best because Disney is planning to release spin off movies and poo poo which is entirely missing the point.

There are nerds who really would buy the old books at highly inflated prices because they are "purer". You'd just have to go out of your way to burn the massive amounts of vintage EU poo poo so that your crap becomes more valuable.
