For real though they better bring Kyle Katarn Back into the SW universe, he's one of my most favorite characters.

I would love a scene in the movies where some sith acolyte shows off with some flashy lightsaber moves to be all intimidating, and Kyle pulls an indiana jones and shoots him with his bryar pistol.

i didn't realize when i searched for this the background music in the cantina was going to be the same as the one in anh

even if we assume the modal nodes' "mad about me"* is like cher's "believe" circia 1999 and just played everywhere at all times, this still takes place years after anh when it should have dropped off the charts.

There is a CHANCE. There is talk in the Star Wars Rebels thread about plans for an animated movie about how the death star plans were captured. I think all the Kyle Katarn fans know that story. If they decide to change it or not is up to Disney though.

Cool. But I'll bet they will rewrite it to be captured by an ultra special Jedi strike force, because everyone knows the Jedi have to be involved in every goddamn thing. The kids need to see the lightsabers every 5 minutes or they might have a stroke, god forbid we see a badass mercenary use heavy weaponry to lay waste to an imperial facility, capture the plans, and change the course of galactic history.

fanfiction is something one guy can bang out on his laptop

by its very nature a fan film is a collaborative effort. it isn't just one weird guy frittering away his life masturbating, it's a bunch of people spending their weekends and god knows how much money on a lovely movie that will be C&D'd out of existence the one time they try and show it at a local comic book convention but coming up with original stuff is hard and oh man the world has to experience their vision of Batman sexually assaulting a man in prison before killing himself or Megaman as a pudgy asian college student in CGI armor

I know that second thing happened........ did the first?

Please tell me there is more story behind the guy in the hovering bubble pod. He was in another picture, where Leia is getting married to someone and she is shooting laser beams out of her eyes into the groom.

Also I remember reading a book where Luke and Leia land on some desert planet that is not-Dune. Luke fights some alien that is not the millions of tiny sandworms(maybe they were bugs) as a collective conscious that feed on the force, trying to escape the planet? Leia is also captured by a Hut who runs the planet and they both fight each other with lightsabers.

I read the plot synopsis and was hoping it would have more in common with popular zombie stories like TWD, Romero's movies, etc. A little less "WE'VE GOTTA ESCAPE!" and a little more "THERE IS NO NO ESCAPE!"

Pretty sure it is. I remember people freaking out when it was released.

Also, the obvious way to cash in on a fanfilm is to put it on Youtube for adbucks. As long as you don't use copyrighted movies or clips, Youtube probably won't do dick.

I still like the early Rogue Squandron books, but I preferred Wraith for how much fun it had with the whole universe. Hell the best part of those series was that they started to treat the EU more like a comic book universe, yes you have your main team, but you didn't always have to do stories about them, sometimes those guys in the background could be doing awesome stuff without the main guys.

Well gently caress. He was still producing stories recently, I was hoping that they'd let him have a crack at the new EU and maybe set a decent tone for the reboot or whatever. He's the only Star Wars author who ever made me laugh unsarcasticly.
