Does Spoony even stream much? There are only a few prerecorded streams on his site. I'd have them on as background noise if he posted them, he's still fairly funny unscripted (talking I mean, not his endless tweets about wrestling and comic book panels).

It's probably one of his most ego stroking pieces of bullshit ever. Edit: Er. Misread what I quoted to but my overall point about Doug stands though.

Whichever way the Separatist war had gone, he'd have been sitting at the top of the pile once the dust cleared. All he had to do was sit and wait it all out while millions died on a daily basis  .

Baka-nin posted:It would've been a lot better if he could think up a better disguise than a blue tint and a cloak, in order to carry out his superb game of three dimensional chess. Now, see, this would have been a perfect place to utilize both "Monster Mash" Darth Sidious and regular human being Palpatine in tandem to throw people off. Particularly people who haven't seen the original trilogy. Have frog-voiced, monster-faced Sidious show up every time he's needed on the Sith and Separatist side(s) so it looks like he's a completely different character from genial old man Palpatine, then when the time finally comes in Episode III, have him drop the mask and reveal that oh poo poo he was Monster Mash the whole time and genial old man Palpatine was actually the put-on rather than the other way around like it felt in the films. Like, that scene where Anakin pledges his loyalty to the Graveyard Smash would have been a lot more powerful if you saw Palpy's hosed up Return of the Jedi face for like a minute or so and then he Force Magics his face back to Ian McDiarmid when all the excitement's over just to let you know how hosed you really are when you're trying to play against this rear end in a top hat. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jan 2, 2016 |

The short of it is; just read the X-Wing novels, because they're the only really good part of the EU. Especially the Wraith Squadron quadrilogy.Augus posted:That darksaber is pretty awesome-looking though. I'm okay with that. The Darksaber wasn't even really dumb (compared to a lot of EU poo poo). It was the Death Stare pared back to be "merely" a cylindrical planet-killing superlaser without all the planet's worth of living quarters and decks (hence the name), which is something you would've thought the Empire would try at some point. nine-gear crow posted:"Han Solo punched a giant space otter" Which one was this? God help me, I think I've read or owned most of the books containing the others. DStecks posted:Yeah, it was pretty drat good how Palpatine convinced a massive galaxy-spanning corporation to start a war for him and follow his orders just because he tells them to, even after following said orders had massive negative consequences; that was drat good writing. I said the basic idea was good. The rest falls under "the movie plots were utter crap"  .

The only EU book I read was a few pages from a Phantom Menance timeline where it explains Darth Maul was a student of Qui-Gon. That poo poo should've made it into the movie so Maul had something.

DStecks posted:The Star Wars Vs. Redwall branding opportunity was a strange one Well, the bad guys in Redwall tended to suffer from Stormtrooper syndrome so it's actually fairly relevant. Somehow the Empire would land in Mossflower and be subjugating the mice when a giant badger rips a tree out of the ground and smashes an AT-AT's legs out from under it and the Long Patrol shout cheeky British slang as they hurl stones and arrows at the Stormtroopers EDIT: It ends with House Marm Abigail Wetstripe presenting a beautiful peppermint almond treacle that's being served out of a stormtrooper helmet. The Dibbuns pretend they are eating the stromtroopers brains and everyone laughs. Basil Stag Hare composes a three-verse cheeky song about the battle and the lightsaber of Martin the Warrior is enshrined in the secret underground chamber which can only be unlocked by solving four riddles and holding a mirror up to the sunlight on the third day of Spring after a rain.
