Replacement lungs wouldn't have those high quality mediochlorians. Better to use machines so you keep that medi-count as high as possible for more force strength!

According to the great tome of Wookiepedia, Sheev may have made Vader's reconstruction lovely on purpose so he couldn't rebel. :spergin:

vader could have been such an even cooler character. they could have had him be not insufferable in the prequels to the point where you might retroactively sympathize with him.

this loving thread gave me an addiction to reading wookiepedia.

anyway, y'all heard of centerpoint station?

apparently its this huge tractor beam that has the power to move planets around. specifically, it was used to create the corellia system for... whatever reason. oddly, that's not explained in obnoxious detail. then everyone forgot about it for thousands and thousands of years because sometimes you lose track of something bigger than the death star just hanging out near one of the 5 planets that is brought up in nearly every star wars story.

oh also people lived in the middle of it because there was an artificial "sun" on the inside and i guess you could farm in it somehow? whatever, the sun was the power source for the tractor beam/lasers/other poo poo and someone fired the laser and it incinerated all the people who lived there lmao

He did get dismembered and then immediately 100% 3rd-degree-burned. There probably wasn't much left for the suit to keep alive.

I always thought that was implicit in ROTJ, with Vader's "I must obey my master" - because at any single moment, Palpatine could crush Vader's suit and that would be the end of him.

The only good EU thing was Legacy. If only because they were so far ahead on the timeline they could actually do creative poo poo without having to shoehorn in other stupid poo poo.

Not true, 'Tales of the Jedi' owned, until they decided to make boring pre knights of the republic poo poo in 1996 for no loving reason: The Golden Age of the Sith and The Fall of the Sith Empire. Just skip those two as they're both worthless lazy writing and completely boring and lovely...


Edit: Pretty much anything written by Tom Veitch is solid loving Star Wars; although I'm not a big fan of the Dark Empire series which actually starts out awesome but ends up getting really weird.

Why else does Vader have such an obvious control box on his chest - somewhat similar to the Torah?

Tales of the Jedi was pretty solid until KJA took over as the sole writer and the art turned to poo poo. I think Redemption of Ulic Qel-Droma was okay, though. Dark Empire is one of my favorite Star Wars things, even though the end of the series was pretty rushed. Dark Horse wouldn't publish Lightsider, so Cam Solusar shows up out of nowhere, and I think Empire's End was originally supposed to be longer than two issues. They lost the artist, too.

I guess I never read enough of the EU, because nothing in it makes me cringe as much as the last few movies.
