It's a dictatorship people can do business with. They collect taxes and patrol the skies. They try to stop organized crime (in the form of the smuggling rings run by the Hutts). The Empire has virtually no effect on the daily life of the average, law-abiding citizen. Jurgan fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Dec 15, 2015 |

Is the Holiday Special canon now or not? They should bring that out with a proper HD release, just for the novelty of it.

I used to be really embarrassed about getting way too into the Lord of the Rings movies back in middle school, (even got my parents to buy a one ring on a chain that I wore to school every day, and I also tried to learn loving Elvish) but now I'm thinking I dodged a bullet because holy gently caress Star Wars is crazy.

Molothecat posted:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dooku Except you pronounce "doo-" as "du-" like "do" or "doing" most of the time and the way the Japanese pronounce "do-" as "doh". If he had wanted to go with a name that sounded like the Japanese word for poison, he could have just gone ahead and used that word, it's not like anyone but the Japanese would have picked up on that. Apparently, Bioware named the Asari in Mass Effect after the Japanese word for "clam".

The Star Wars EU is literally hundreds of sources, spanning multiple media, written over the course of decades by dozens of authors. Wasn't Silmarillion in part written by Tolkien's much less talented son? I'd say that, combined with all the various notes he "adapted," make up the Middle-Earth EU.

also from the dooku article In the Galician and Portuguese languages, "do cu," pronounced exactly as in "Dooku," means "from the rear end." For this reason, Dooku's name was changed to "Dookan" in Brazil.[66]

Xenomrph posted:Well yeah, from a "sperg minutiae" and "missing the forest for the trees" standpoint there's a lot of overlap, but I blame that on the fandom, not the authors of "the EU". That's present in any nerd fandom regardless of the quality of its "canon". They made action figures of EU characters. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Ser...PDX4126ZVBN0XFB And people try to say Star Wars isn't a cash cow.

Star Wars has always been a cash cow from day one. The merchandising for Star Wars is orders of magnitude beyond any other pop culture franchise in history.

I think this hasn't been posted in the last couple of pages, so a reminder:quote:The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

Apparently Ackbar has a first name: "Gial". Better than Firmus, I guess. Also, in Legends canon, the Galactic Civil war was only brought to an end in 19 ABY with the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty. Behold the dignified end of the galaxy-spanning war:  That bird man is Chief of State of the New Republic.
