heres a drawing of princess leia kicking something called prince xixor in the dick

i believe this is the only part of the eu that is still canon

Prince Xixor was the head of Black Sun, the biggest organized crime corporation in the galaxy. Naturally Emperor Palpatine liked him & Black Sun a lot and for awhile Xixor and Vader vied for his affections until Vader managed to destroy him. Im sure there's a novel-length essay on Wookipedia about him and another one about Black Sun.

A large subplot of his book revolved around him trying to date-rape Leia using his pheromones.

E: There's also a chapter where Vader and Xizor debate the ethics and efficacy of Imperial sociology in front of the Emperor.

The absolute best part was that Xizor was described as "physical perfection" as far as his body went, and was so bored by working out or training he had a special room where he could sit at a computer and force fields would exercise his muscles so he could maintain peak physical condition without having to do anything.

Star Wars EU knew their fanbase even in the 90s and blatantly catered towards them.

Imagine if stormtroopers just have a "crazy poo poo pool", like they've been around long enough to know that at every climactic moment some really wild poo poo is gonna go down, do you think they take bets beforehand?

Probably, thats actually why they probably miss all the time because they know that they might accidentally hit someone who can turn in a rancor or something.

I've never played the games it's just, it sounds like the whole thing is "HEH, light side, dark side, can't you just see how wrong that is maaan" when all along the light side really just means 'balance,' ying/yang (or light and dark if you prefer) working together and 'dark side' virtually means just loving up

That idea would play better before the prequels made it clear the "light side" is being a weird emotionless, attachment-free sexless android.

It would also play better if it wasnt like
Answer A: Help everyone and accept no reward. Give your own money to orphans. GAIN LIGHT SIDE POINTS.
Answer B: Kill and rape everyone and take their money, burn down an orphanage. GAIN DARK SIDE POINTS.

Just have answers that are less obvious, and dont loving tell me what answer shoves me into what direction. Let me figure out that poo poo myself or have me reap what i sow at a later point without having a detailed diagram of excatly how good/bad i am at this very instance.

I dunno but if you were told that you could never get laid or masturbate ever for your entire life, it's no wonder your bizarre surging passions take you down the dark side.

No loving poo poo passion leads to the dark side, that sexual frustration has to be channeled somehow. Meditation only works for so long.

This explains why assassination amongst Sith is pretty popular.

Listen princess, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good gently caress what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a princess. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before.
