Continued the EU is awful trip report. At around the 2 hr 15 minute mark in Maul: Lockdown, Darth Maul has killed a wampa by plunging his fist into its chest and crushing it's heart with his hands. In graphic detail, after trying the same thing with the wampa's brain.


Also there is a mute autistic genius computer programmer.




Edit: Oh holy poo poo, at about 2 hrs 45 min in the book went full retard and just ripped off Kaiser Soyze wholesale from Usual Suspects.

Wookiepedia posted:

Cerean males aged more quickly than the females, who had similar lifespans to Humans. Thus, there were fewer males than females. Polygamous marriage was a necessity in order for the species to survive. Each male usually had one primary "bond-wife," and between four and ten "honor-wives."
Cereans were often found among the ranks of the Jedi Knights, but due to the species' low birth rates, Cerean Jedi were exempt from the Order's vow of non-attachment. One such Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, served on the Jedi High Council during and prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars.

"Hey, you know our totally retarded rules and regulations? They totally apply! Except when they don't!"

I hope in the new films Luke spent the past few years studying Jedi Holocrons and comes to the conclusion that the Jedi order that Obi-Wan so exalted was an incompetent, arrogant and hypocritical organization that deserved to die out just like the old republic did. Sure he will still train Jedi, but he realizes that the narrow-minded views of the dark and light sides of the old order led to their own pathetic destruction.

Huh, I thought the "many bothans died..." was from 4, it's been a long time since I've watched em.

The "many bothans" were escaping on a shuttle after the Death Star 2 plans were successfully transmitted, but a proton torpedo was fired at them. Dash Rendar tried to shoot the torpedo from his really cool ship but failed and the torpedo blew up the Bothans and Dash was really sad about it. After he died they found out the torpedo was a special armor-plated one and so he didn't screw up, there was no way he could've stopped it. But the N64 Shadows of the Empire secret ending reveals that Dash didn't die, he just faked his death. No idea if he ever found out about the torpedo.

Ahahaha holy poo poo, I totally forgot about Dash Rendar. How many Han Solo derived characters are there in the EU? Talon Karde , Dash Rendar and Atton Rand for sure, but I'm guessing there's at least another half-dozen vest-wearing corellian smugglers out there.

"Han Solo? Never heard of him. This here original character is just a hard living corellian smuggler who flies a modified freighter. See, he says he only cares about money, but actually he has a heart of gold and eventually comes through for the good guys in a big way. That's the hook that makes him unique!" :suicide:

Call me crazy but isn't the information that renowned rebel spy Manny Bothans retrieved only in regards to the Emperor being aboard the DS2? Like did they even have any plans for it? Lando just told that ball-chin dude to lock on to the largest power source, it's got to be the reactor, yeah?

Remember, none of your EU bullshit is canon. Reference only the relevant scenes in the 1983 motion picture Return of the Jedi in your answer please.

edit: poo poo, I sort of enjoyed the new Star Wars comic. It had a laser whip, hamfisted references to the movies on every page, artoo sprayed a bunch of green poo poo on the floor and it's blatantly going to be about Vader finding out who Luke is but I still sort of enjoyed it.

It's obviously a misread line, intended to refer to the waves and waves of droid replicas of General Solo dispatched throughout the galaxy to locate the Emperor.

But definitely no mention of plans. At least that only leaves one set of Death Star plans to get passed around like VD in a submarine in the all new and improved EU.

She does explicitly refer to Bothan spies though, so it turns out Manny Bothans was never canon. At least he was there to make Mara Jade and the Solo kids feel at home wherever it is the de-canonised go. Hell one would presume. Or at the very least a lower tier of Paradise.

No, it's many bot-hands dyed, you idiots. Robotic hands that were dyed so they could blend into their environments retrieved the data, and none in fact died and they were celebrated as heroes after the rebellion. There's a symbolic statue of a single giant rainbow robotic fist on Kashyyyk in their honour.

"Many Bot-hands dyed retrieved this data", was meant to be the line, but Lucas liked the misread and kept it in.
