They go on and on about how Jedi fighting styles are super humane because they only aim to neutralise a threat without killing and only cut off like a hand or an arm. I dunno if they've ever considered maybe not using a weapon that vaporises everything it touches instead. Even the loving stormtoopers have stun guns.

Why don't you go cry some tears for your precious OT canon alongside the EU mourners. poo poo's loving dead son, heil Disney.

SaltLick posted:mace has a purple lightsaber and is actually channeling his gayness into it Samuel asked George for a purple lightsaber. The EU transformed this into "Mace Windu uses a purple lightsaber because he is conflicted, and by the way this inner conflict makes him the greatest Jedi lightsaber master." So far, having BMF inscribed on the hilt has not been explained.

Yeah, given that the stormtroopers can easily switch between lethal and incapacitating modes, it should be easy to incorporate into a laser sword.

"guy who channels the power of his inner darkness and uses it for good" is basically peak Mary Sue. How did I never hear about this? Mace Windu is Shadow the Hedgehog. Or worse he's a Hedgehog OC.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:Why is the black Jedi the one who has to channel his shameful Inner Darkness? Because Lucas and his former hack team of EU writers were completely oblivious to all matters of race, not even considering they may be perpetrating the "angry black man" stereotype. Morgan Freeman would have been a much better choice for a wise counselor and leader.

Shadeoses posted:Windu seemed pretty chill in the movies. Wasn't really anything angry about him any all. Yeah he was pretty chill apart from the usual stick-up-the-rear end attitude that comes from being a Jedi. Like when he wasn't on duty he probably kicked back in a recliner with a six pack of space beer and watched the spaceball playoffs.

Trevor Hale posted:Weren't his lungs force crushed by Mace Windu who wound up feeling INFINITE SADNESS for such a barbaric display? That's a pretty good example of how much of a mess EU crap is. In the original clone wars cartoons of which, the end was supposed to tie right up to the opening minute of episode 3, features Mace Windu crushing the generals chest while trying to stop the general from abducting Sheev. Until then dumb Jedis kept trying to force push Grievious but it didn't work cause his clawed feet would dig in, Mace is smart though so he went for a direct attack. In the book Labyrinth of Evil totally different poo poo happens to the exact same characters during the exact same time period (literally minutes before the opening of 3, the attack on coruscant, etc) Both of these things were released within a year of each other and both bridge episodes 2-3 in totally different ways proving once again the EU is poo poo. ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:speaking of, I assume there's some horrible EU bullshit about what off-duty Jedi did for recreation Ki Adi Mundi (conehead Jedi from the prequels, also my fav) comes from a planet where women outnumber men 50 to 1 so in his downtime he chills with his 20 wives and 60 kids.

Like seriously, I looked it up once and it turns out that I actually stole the Death Star plans in one story. I think Death Star plans were just given out if you sent in three or four Space Flakes box tops.

I certainly did not hate it in any sense, but it left me desiring more of the political manuverings you mentioned. I would definitely recommend A New Dawn to any of you guys, but Tarkin definitely requires patience for monologues and the like.

To not betray the spirit of the thread I just found Maul: Lockdown in full on YouTube to listen to while working, so far it has been 15 minutes of rather graphic descriptions of Maul killing things with his bare hands. Thanks Star Wars! Crushing tracheas and eyeballs in sockets with your fingers is like poetry!
