Marion entered into a relationship with Indiana Jones during this time, while she was still only 14 years old.[1] Jones abruptly left the Ravenwoods in 1926; Marion was about 16 or 17 years old when the relationship finished, and Jones was 27, ten years her senior. Later in her life, Marion chastised Jones, stating, "I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!" Jones showed little remorse, and simply replied "You knew what you were doing.

Up until like 1920 the generally accepted/legal age of consent was anywhere from 7-14 so while Lucas is still a massive creeper this attitude would have been relatively common back then

e: Jimmy's mom in Boardwalk Empire was like 13 when she had him and that didn't even necessitate a cover-up or anything. Modern concepts of civility are a lot younger than a lot of people expect.

Seriously, in Raiders it's left ambiguous what happened between them but I'm pretty sure she says she was 15.. It never gets mentioned again, but there is a chance Indy is a pedo. Thanks George Lucas.

Just..someone
If anyone cares back in 1992 some random fantasy author was offered the chance to write a Star Wars novel. He wrote it but due to something on Bantam's part it wasn't published.

He's just started releasing it in chunks for free online.


http://www.starwarstimeline.net/The%20Heart%20of%20the%20Jedi.htm

I can't decide if the opening is lazy or a cute reference.

quote:

The vast silence of that planetless sector of space was pierced through with the sizzling noise of laser fire as a huge craft glided suddenly into view.

It was a Victory-class Star Destroyer of the Empire, and it was engaged in a savage fight.

The powerful battleship was a massive, sharply angled wedge of metal. The keen spear-tip of its long prow thrust far into the empty dark ahead. The sides of its broadening hull bristled with rows of turbolaser batteries.

These were all firing frantically now, spewing out a blazing network of ruby colored bolts. But those bolts were not directed at some target ahead. They were all being fired toward the rear, and other bolts of a brilliant emerald hue were being returned, crisscrossing the Imperial fire.

And then the source of this other fire hove into view close astern. The Star Destroyer was not giving chase. It was being hotly pursued.

The pursuer was an MC80 Liberty type Mon Calamari Star Cruiser, another battleship, but one of pelagic design with a blistered oval hull.

Though an organic-looking and well-designed craft in contrast with the hard-edged bulk of the Imperial ship, it was still a fair opponent for the other man-of-war.

In fact, as the two dreadnoughts sailed on, locked in furious battle, it became quickly obvious that the Star Destroyer was vastly overmatched. The intersecting exchanges of broadsides that wove a brilliant latticework across the blackness caused many more blooming flashes of hits upon the Imperial than on its foe. And the pursuer was slowly but relentlessly closing in.

The frequency of its hits was soon creating a constant fireworks display across the Star Destroyer’s sides and rear. They were inflicting much damage, destroying systems and power supplies, their accumulated effect crippling the Imperial ship.

Also some guy gets eaten by a frog person.

quote:

High Admiral Tharkus glanced around at them, then back to the little man.

“So you refuse to obey me?” he challenged forcefully.

“Yes, I do.” Ptomel said, drawing up to the full of his height and meeting the still higher gaze defiantly.

In response, the High Admiral stepped back, gesturing at the strange, clear-skinned being as he moved behind him. “See to it,” he snapped.

The being nodded. His violet heart pulsed brighter. His body was instantly enveloped in a sapphire glow as his preternatural metabolism swiftly absorbed vast quantities of ambient energy from the atmosphere, transforming it into matter. The cocoon of light obscuring his image as his figure swelled in moments to a giant size.

Just as instantly the light faded, revealing a monstrous, amphibious-like being where the man had been.

The green-skinned thing squatted on broad haunches, a flat and wide mouthed head with bulging eyes looming two stories above them on a thick, deeply puckered neck.

As the dockmaster stared in astonishment, the head shot forward, the neck stretching far out in rubbery ease. The mouth gaped open. The man screamed.

It was over in an eye blink.

The thing had seized and swallowed Ptomel in one gulp; the head had shrunk back onto the body. The only sign left of his chubby form was a round, still wiggling lump in the monster’s neck. But another big swallow quickly pushed that down out of sight.

The crowd around stood flabbergasted, frozen in shock. Tharkus swept a frigid gaze around at them.

“No one refuses to obey me more than once,” he slowly, pointedly told them.

I'm going to presume that was written before the reveal that Leia was Luke's sister and that it's intended as just farmboy scoping out a rich chick and not twincest.

It's always weird to me that people kinda miss what made the original films good which is that there are likable, relatable characters and a strong though basic plot of the good underdog triumphing over the evil establishment and the power of friendship. Lightsabers and space monks and spaceships and breathing suits are cool but that's all dressing and the movies didn't stick with me as a kid because of that poo poo it';s because of scenes like Vader sacrificing himself to save his son or Yoda teaching Luke to believe in himself and how wars not make one great or Luke realizing his friends were most important to him and skipping out on his training even if it meant he'd die. The EU doesn't understand that's why Star Wars is gonna live on forever, not because of a laser sword or massive superweapons or supertorture bioweapon outside-the-Force monster people.

It's a pretty good litmus test though - if all you like are booms and PEWS and swords you probably think the original trilogy is bad and the prequels were great. Easy to tell who the dumbs are.

It's all from Splinter of the Mind's Eye which was the novelisation of the candidate sequel for Star Wars if they got the green light to do another film but without the budget. It was canned when Star Wars was a hit and they filmed Empire instead.
