Gulliball was a very popular sport played on Naboo by the Gungans. Equipped with mallets made from zaela tree branches, Gungans batted around gullipuds in attempts to place them in specified goal areas. For some reason, the animals actually enjoyed being tossed around.

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
In his book on the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s, Easy Riders and Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind makes a pretty convincing case that Lucas may be on the spectrum. Apparently he'd refuse to talk to people or make eye contact, so meetings had to be heavily prompted by Francis Ford Coppola. When makiing THX-1138, Lucas spent months and months obbessively re-editing the film, until Coppola had to basically take the work print so they could have test screenings. The script for Star Wars became a denser and denser work of background lore with each draft.

Originally Lucas wanted to title the first film 'Adventures of Luke Starkiller, as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars' but was convinced to change it to A New Hope.

(American Graffti and THX-1138 are still great movies, so the guy at least directed three really, really good films).

oh i can believe that he is on the spectrum. also the more i learn about how loving crappy new hope could have been is fascinating. I am sure alot of the old drafts read like something out of deviant art. it sounds like his first wife was the one who kept his poo poo edited.

I read these as a kid, they were actually part of a Scholastic monthly thing. The whole thing is basically Jar Jar loving up in increasingly terrible ways as an explanation for his exile from bubble world. Even as a kid I thought it was stupid.

how bad was the last Star Trek
I liked Star Trek 2009 but kind of as a theme park ride kind of deal, where a lot of the plot was pretty stupid and the characters were kinda thin despite being entertaining
Was the last one like that or was it not even that good.

Now imagine that one of the people responsible is developing a new Star Trek TV series.

I just realized that I can't remember a single goddamn thing about I, Jedi by Michael Stackpole. I know for a fact that I owned it in hardcover and therefore I am led to the conclusion that it was the single worst Star Wars book I ever read, so bad that I blocked it out completely.

Half the book is about Stackpole's self-insert Corran Horn becoming Luke's most important apprentice and revealing that he was actually behind the scenes saving the day during the events of the Jedi Academy trilogy (and retconning a bunch of poo poo that I don't remember).

The second half of the book is about Corran Horn going undercover as a mercenary working for a space pirate queen who's super hot and wants to gently caress him senseless. I don't remember if/how the two plots are connected.

Part 1 of I, Jedi is about retconning the spectacularly lovely Jedi Academy books by Kevin J. Anderson. It owns because that whole section of the book reads like a giant "gently caress you, you're an idiot hack" to KJA.

Part 2 has Corran Horn going undercover as a mercenary working for a pirate gang working for an Imperial governor who's super hot and wants to gently caress him senseless, but he's not interested because that bitch kidnapped his wife, so he becomes a badass vigilante who wages psychological warfare against all his pirate buddies in secret and lets them all think there's a vengeful Jedi who's going to murder them all in their sleep.

Which, to be fair, wasn't as horrible as either the Jedi academy books or the worse parts of the stackpole xwing books. Corran seeing his grandfather was kinda neat, I guess.
