Essential Guide to Warfare is awesome and has some neat insight into the structure of Imperial and Rebel forces, as well as diagrams of each major fleet campaign.

Hah, knew Disney would gently caress this poo poo up even more somehow. how can you be mad at consistent plotlines across movies. especially avengers poo poo, you don't have to know jack about anybody to understand what's going on in the movies, it's just fluff for nerds who enjoy backstory.

I haven't noticed that one but holy hell are cheeks a-twitching, I'm not even sure exactly what it means, when I twitch my cheeks in the mirror I look insane. Fur is also a-rippling, mainly on Bothans, fur rippling this way and that. I went from Last Command to Spectre of The Past, skipping ten years, Galactic President Bird is just loving hilarious. Edit: "Now see here Admiral Pellaeon, I'm just a simple hyper-bird from a backwoods asteroid...  I'm sorry, I thought you was corn." Mon Mothma in the back there looks like she has ingested a lot of psychedelic mushrooms about an hour before this meeting, that look on her face screams, "Oh poo poo is that hyper-bird real or drug real? Maintain Mon Mothma, maintain." Cyberball 2072 fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Mar 18, 2015 |

I mean, Rogue Squadron was ok, but they're just so goddamn dour. Wedge has like 0 personality in Rogue Squadron. But in Wraith Squadron, he's organizing 48 hour gambling binges with Han Solo and getting his people shitfaced. Yub yub, commander.

Best part of Wraith Squadron was the logic that led to Lieutenant Kettch. When they were undercover as mercenaries one of them hacked another's radio so their voice sounded like an Ewok. Then the villain they were working for was like "Hey we were listening in on you and one of your pilots sounds like an Ewok?" Instead of just saying "Yeah it was a prank", which in no way would have blown their cover, they immediately concocted an elaborate scheme using an implausible genetic engineering backstory for a fictitious Ewok, and that pilot then always had to fly with an Ewok dummy strapped to his chest. Because I guess only Good Guys pull pranks or something.

When trying to give the impression that you are an incredibly competent cut throat pirate group it's generally not a good idea to tell a guy who is essentially the cut throat pirate king that one of your tech experts gave a pilot a goofy voice and then everyone was cool with the pilot flying his mission with said goofy voice. It kind of ruins your cut throat credibility to go into a mission with a goofy voice over.

There's one EU novel that's pretty much 'Star Wars meets Apocalypse Now' starring Mace Windu. As EU books go it's pretty good.

Just destroy the engines or reactor with your mind which should be pretty easy compared to pulling it into the ground.

Tatooine... poo poo; I'm still only on Tatooine... every time I think I'm gonna wake up back on the Endor. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the forest. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute those furry little bastards squat in the bush, they get stronger. Each time I looked around the walls moved in a little tighter.
