Hingehead posted:To be fair, the rancor part happens a split second in a moment of chao. As for the speeder, they don't outright call it snowspeeder. I actually like the way they did it instead of the successors like transformers which specified the correct name of the toy every time it was mentioned

Snowglobe of Doom posted:It's even been done on even dumber lifeforms than animals and household appliances: According to Star Wars roleplaying games, that junky staff could block a lightsaber. Also if I remember right the original idea for Star Wars had lightsabers just being a regular weapon anyone could use and it was only because of special effect limitations that it became a Jedi only weapon oh and also Jedis are extinct.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:It's even been done on even dumber lifeforms than animals and household appliances: They're still wearing armor? Not only should they not need it, but canonically it limits several force abilities such as superhuman speed, lightening, and many others. You can't deflect blaster bolts when your armor keeps you from raising your arms above your head.

It could have sold (maybe not well) as a non-Star Wars book. Like if you replaced everything with real world stuff you'd still have a story about surgeons, spies, mercenaries, etc. flick my Mr. Bean fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jan 13, 2015 |

Super obvious about it too Did they have a local Nemoidian boy mixing up Vod-Marts in their home-made spice still? Is their tent affectionately referred to as 'Dagobah'? Goddamn Major Fark Burris always shoving his Mando crap down everyone's throat. poo poo, we can run with this; Star Wars - Order 22. The madcap tale of a crazy TIE Bomber pilot and the even crazier Imperial Bureaucracy he has to contend with. Turns out he was at Hoth and Endor and he had the millenium falcon totes in his sights but lets it go because he figures if the Empire goes down he gets to go home. Unfortunately Lando is all like "This guy saved our asses" and he gets drafted as a Y-Wing Pilot in the New Republic Fleet.

The only thing I really remember is that the main surgeon had to save the life of a Darth Maul looking dude who had killed one of his friends. One of the other doctors was like "Hey man, I know you're a good surgeon so you won't kill him but no one would care if your hand slips and he wakes up paralyzed" which I thought was kinda hosed up

Lucas is now saying that he was totally going to be directing Episode 7 himself (with a release date this year) but then Disney showed up and bought the property from him before he could.
