Sentient rhinos with psychic horns that make people feel like they're on ecstasy. The rhinos bring space tourists to a planet and then brainwash them into joining their slave-cult, and then have them harvest space-drugs from spiderwebs. Han Solo had to rescue his then GF from a space rhino Jim Jones with the help of a cat man named Muuurgh. I actually remember that one being fairly decent.

I remember that one, I think it was pretty decent because it was a pulpy "Drug smuggler gets in over his head with a Space cartel" story with no greater Saving the Galaxy implications. It was part one of a Han Solo origin trilogy, I don't think I ever read the other two and I'm sure there was some hilarious retconning to make it fit into continuity since it was set in the prequel era but was written before the prequels came out.

why didn't they make an ewok cartoon to compete with MLP they could have a all female voice cast and 1 song and dance number per episode. They could also just use ewoks to make a smurfs knock off.

They already did an Ewoks cartoon. And Droids, but that one was shorter lived. I used to have a pair of Ewoks roller skates when I was in like, kindergarten. And I think I have a sheet of stickers from the cartoon around somewhere.

I guess it wasn't popular enough to justify a revival. All I really remember is a little of the theme song, but that's mostly because it was just the Yub Nub song with lyrics.

Yup. I have vague memories of watching Droids: The Great Heep on my grandparents' TV (no cable, just an antenna).

Oddly enough, I never had Star Wars toys as a kid other than those skates. I was more into Transformers and He-Man, at least until I got my NES.

It was strongly implied that the war between the Silentium and the Abominor were the source of the Yuuzhan Vong's technophobia, suggesting that they were the race which invaded Yuuzhan'tar in the past.

How come Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru talked like they knew Luke's dad considering they only met him once?

Why did Beru think Luke was too much like his father? From her extremely limited knowledge he was just some douchebag jedi who liked murdering sand people.

And why would Owen be afraid Luke would follow Ben in some drat fool crusade just like his father? His father literally never did that, he whined every time Ben asked him to pass the salt. Either way Owen would have no way of knowing this since he only met Ben after Anakin died.

When did he start calling himself Ben anyway?

Come to think of it, didn't C-3PO work on Owens farm for years before Anakin came back in Episode II? So Owen and Beru retain these intimate memories of a guy they met for a couple of hours yet totally forget owning and dealing with the gayest droid in the galaxy for years?

That and everyone knows Georgie had no idea what the clone wars was, who Anakin was before (except for 'good friend' and 'best fighter pilot in the galaxy'), who the gently caress Qui Gon Gin was (like when ghost Obi-wan talks about Yoda training him), etc. etc.. He completely just made poo poo up when it came to the prequels and didn't even worry about how it didn't fit.

edit: mentioning ghost Obi wan talking about Yoda training him, I'm VERY surprised they didn't dub over Alec Guinness' lines with "Was I any different when -Qui Gon- taught me?"

I guess it makes a lot of sense that when trying to maintain a low profile you'd wear your official outfit and fill your house full of training gear, live 20 minutes away from a force sensitive then use none of it to train him until he just randomly shows up at your door.

I was about to call you an rear end in a top hat for making fun of a droid character that was made in honor of a little girl that died of cancer, then I quickly realized you were talking about another KT droid.

Meet R2-KT. She was also in an episode of Clone war.

http://www.r2kt.com/


"November 13, 2004: a little girl named Katie Johnson was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was a sad, sad day to be sure. Her father, Albin Johnson, was the founder of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars costuming fan club that did charity work all over the world. Over 4000 501st Legion members and countless more Star Wars fans rallied together to support the ailing child. "

because all that stuff was all you needed to know about the star wars backstory at the time for the movie to work effectively, and then george lucas went and hosed it up because he's a giant hack

The original movies are hideous nerd poo poo. Just a bit more focused and better than the prequels, and with the exception of Empire, not by a lot. Revel in the retardedness of Star Wars and just accept it.

That being said, most of the EU is worse than even the most retarded of official Star Wars.
