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.

Sounds like you need to reestablish your connection to the Force at the nearest Force outlet.

I thought I read somewhere that in star wars the lasers from ships and blasters are like literally solid and do actual concussive force. Like it fires off a chunk of solid light. And lightsabers were basically the same thing on a handle.

george lucas is extremely successful

your average eu writer is getting paid to write, which is pretty good considering your average writer, but i wouldnt go "oh wow he's so successful, he wrote 4 terrible star wars books"

apparently a good number of Star Wars EU books are established sci-fi authors writing under an alias in the name of an easy paycheck so I imagine it's not that bad as far as licensed fiction goes
