As a real young kid I used to daydream that Lucas was a refugee from the Empire. In my dreams Star Wars was based on real events but was false pro-rebel propaganda. One day the Empire would track him down and conquer the Earth. Then, at last, I would be able to go to space and die in some shithole to an IED after being conscripted into the Imp Army.

I just found a virtually new copy of Rogue Squadron, an equally pristine Bacta War, and a slightly weathered Wedge's Gamble at the local library book sale, so I nabbed them for 50 cents each because my early X-Wing novels are falling apart and such. (did not get the hardcover Crystal Star I also saw there) ((got a very cheap looking Go set also for 50 cents, but we were really there for fifty billion board books to read to the baby, including Star Wars Heroes, a "meet the major characters from the star wars movies!!! board book))

Trevor Hale posted:I love Rogue Squadron but Wedge is at his goddamn beat in the Wraith Squadron books. The Wraith books are way better than the Rogue books because the Wraith books are ensemble books with fun characters, while the Rogue books focus on Corran Horn, the biggest Mary Sue in the EU. Better pilot than Wedge, star investigator who unravels a massive Imperial plot that no one else could figure out, irresistible to every woman he encounters (and of course he marries the hot chick), oh and did I mention that he's Force sensitive and becomes a Jedi badass? poo poo, I can't even name any of the other Rogue pilots in the Stackpole books other than Wedge, Tycho, and Gavin. The Rogue Squadron comics are a lot better about being ensemble stories and giving the other pilots more to do. The Wraith books initially set up Kell Tainer to be Corran 2.0, and then totally subverts it and makes him take the back seat to the ensemble cast. And when he tries to hook up with the hot chick, she totally shoots him down for being a goony PUA douche and its loving hilarious. I actually only recently learned that Aaron Allston passed away last year. It's a shame because he seemed like a cool guy, on top of his books being tons of fun. Yub Yub, Commander.

He also killed characters off left and right so the only thing you were sure of was that wedge would make it though. Whereas in the rogue squadron books no one ever died.

Its got that hosed up thing where you know its real dumb but youre still entertained anyway. Fil5000 posted:Did she actually die? I thought it was faked to get councillor bothan man (Borsk?) off her back. That fucker shoulda been thrown out airlock somewhere, he is loving things up in about 90% of the Eu books I've read. As nice as the new republic is you think even they would have hit a point where theyre like, "this Borsk Fey'lya rear end in a top hat ruins loving everything, lets drop him off on Hoth with just a sleeping bag and tell him to start hiking and get hosed." It'd be like if there were 50 ghostbusters books and Walter Peck from the EPA showed up in every loving book. In the last book they proved him wrong and embarrassed him in front of all his friends and associates but somehow the government keeps putting him in positions to cock things up. Oh gently caress, Peck got a legal order to turn off the ghost containment unit for the 39th loving time, that's the Borsk Fey'lya character.

Borsk is like the epitome of that 80s/90s TV series 'antagonist' type character who is ostensibly on the good guys team but always tries to use every plot for his own gain and often fails spectacularly. "Oh, Borsk is at it again~"

Because Star Wars must have absolutely zero subtlety of course the character who fails a lot is literally called Fey'lya.
