From a few pages back, but this is easily the most EU sentence I've ever read. It features a character not in the movies using the secret ultra-powerful Force abilities of a clone of a character not in the movies and using anti-Force powers from a creature not mentioned in the movies that is different from a similar creature Han Solo hosed, and it all takes place inside of a scene in Return of the Jedi. This is peak EU.

Are people joking or did Han Solo actually gently caress the space weasel? Has my brain repressed this memory to protect my entire childhood from being devoured by awareness that I once read a scene of space bestiality?

A body of military officers whose most notable member doesn't take the Force seriously and lets his direct subordinate tell Darth Vader to his face that the Force is bullshit give some stupid evil cult greeting. Yeah, that's in-character.

E: I remember reading The Glove of Darth Vader when I was like eight and I thought it was utterly godawful even then. It's so bad even children are moffended.

Actually, yes. I'm pretty sure the book did mention him getting a rash or something of the sort.
Other than that, Rogue Squadron was a pretty decent book with some relatively smart space combat scenes.

Also, the 2nd book was crazy sensible when 2 marine grunts jury a space shuttle together to fly from Phobos to Earth.

I meant go off the rails in the sense that the first book is certainly Doom and the second book is definitely Doom II. Once the explanation for why everything happened well..it just kinda spirals down from there.

Just wanted to skip forward in time and tell everyone that the Doom novels were unironically better than the totality of EU writing



ok, back to page 25

Infernal Sky is mind-bendingly terrible enough to stand with the best worst of the EU, especially with the soldiers ending up on an alien ship naked and conversing with two aliens named Sears and Roebuck oh and the demons are some other kind of aliens and here's some weird jargon and bullshit eschatology that has nothing to do with why anyone played Doom.

While we're on the subject of awful things that nerds like, I reminisced yesterday about Babylon 5 and in hindsight it was much, much worse than I thought it was when I first watched it. People don't talk in that show, they give speeches and declaim to each other, and the more endlessly quoted the declamation by Babylon 5 nerds, the worse it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFvkgfBXHPA
This is the most quoted scene in the entire series and also one of the worst. It is a complete and utter failure in writing, delivery, and direction.

Oh God. I hate you all and myself.

Corran Horn wore a Jedi Credit (stupid gold medallion with his ancestors face on it made when he made Jedi Master) on a gold chain because his sweat was "acidic enough to tarnish something like silver". Apparently there's a normal range of sweat acidity and his is on the extreme end while still being within human norms or whatever and his acid sweat was sufficiently acidic to get through the waxy coating on a space weasel named Chertyl Rootwooler's fur and irritate her skin.

Also he was mildly alergic to her fur and described sex as arousing mutual sunburn which is why they only had sex once.

All of this was to reassure a 16 year old kid from Tattooine that it was ok that he wanted to gently caress one of these


Or maybe these?


Whichever depiction of Bothans makes you laugh harder, basically.

I remember someone asking Micheal Stackpol about it and he said when he wrote that bit he thought they were more human-like (kind of like Bothans) and didn't realize they were giant weasels until after the book was published. For whatever it's worth.

And yeah Corren was mildly allergic to her and got a full body rash.
