My favourite George-EU involvement was when he decided that they needed to kill Anakin Solo off, because people would confuse him with Anakin Skywalker with the prequels coming out what people george what people

In the real world it's quotable when combat officers say something actually clever. "Those poor bastards. They've got us right where we want them. We can fire in any direction now!" "Nuts!" "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" "Molon labe." In Star Wars world it's quotable when an admiral who has sprung a trap prosaically observes that it's a trap.

Officially sanctioned parody is the lamest thing. It tries really hard to be funny but it can't actually make any fun of the subject it's parodying because it's made and paid for by Lucasfilm.

As opposed to Pheremone Date Rape Guy, whose storyline was the focus of a massive marketing push with a video game and everything. i had the game boy versions of the empire and rotj games rotj was pretty great (as far as i remember) and i got to flying the millenium falcon into the second death star. never beat it cause it got hard and i lose patience with video games. empire was super clunky and not nearly as fun.

As opposed to Pheremone Date Rape Guy, whose storyline was the focus of a massive marketing push with a video game and everything. Those games were really fun. For me the secret was realizing the lightsaber was garbage, and to rush for max blaster and just decimate everything. As for RotJ, the Death Star escape is easily my favorite level. Once I figured it out I used to just start a game on hard and level skip to that one and feel like a total bad rear end.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Super Star Wars was fairly challenging but I never beat Super Return of the Jedi because escaping out of the exploding Death Star was just about impossible, so in my Official Super Star Wars continuity, the black guy dies at the end. I never got Super Empire Strikes Back but I hear Darth Vader was similarly difficult. You just had to hold down the accelerate button the whole time on the way out.

"Wookieepedia, of loving course, posted:When Return of the Jedi was in pre-production, George Lucas took one look at a nameless alien design laid out by the production creature designers. He decided at that moment that it was going to be Admiral Ackbar. Creature designer Phil Tippet named the species after his lunch of calamari salad one day as a joke. Eight creature masks were constructed for Mon Calamari background characters, though only Ackbar's was fully detailed and articulated.
