Then again, wasn't it in a Christie Golden fotj book where Ben smacks the poo poo out of vestara, ties her up in her bedsheets with the force, roots through her computer and then feels bad so he spoons with her a page later?

I finished reading Thrawn on the bus into work this morning. It's definitely in my top three from the NEU. I really hope they keep Zahn on board for future novels. And that they don't unceremoniously kill off Thrawn in Season 4 of Rebels. I also wonder if they're going to introduce the Chiss in the films at all now. I wouldn't be surprised if they did, at least.

Thrawn has a lot of plot points that could have come straight out of Tie Fighter. Zahn also has continued his habit of having lots of named side characters which I like. His books feel like there's huge galaxy out there while the lesser authors feel like they work in a very small very empty universe.

Has anyone considered the theory that Rey is actually a Kenobi? I watched TFA again last night and I caught Ewan mcgregor's voice when she has her lightsaber vision. Obi-Wan maybe banged a lot of chicks and therefore when his standalone movie comes out we meet Rey's potential grandmother.

The timeline on her being a Skywalker is weird and I don't think Luke is that much of a lovely dad.

I still hope Rey's parents prove to be no one of note or importance. She came from nothing because she has talent and drive, not because of who her parents were.

The Star Wars trilogies have always been the stories of the Skywalker family. I don't think everyone needs to be connected, but I really can't imagine that Rey isn't, at least in some way or another. gently caress Finn being a Calrissian though.

"all these black people have to be related to each other", said the extremely white nerd plus if finn was going to be related to another black person in star wars it would obviously be the force-sensitive highly-placed member of an oppressive order that seeks to overthrow the government and control the galaxy

I'm pretty confident Kyle Katarn will come back when they inevitably reboot the Jedi Knight video game franchise.

KOTOR is in a grey area. Revan and Malachor are canon, but not int he precise way they are presented in the RPGs and the MMO.

I don't think I'd like it if KOTOR 2 God-Mode Living Legend Who Might As Well Have Been the Real Chosen One Revan was canon; it's fine when that's the myth that's developed around him in-universe but I don't think it would be very interesting if Revan actually was an RPG player character with maxed-out stats.

The Exile was a much more compelling character anyway, a renegade Jedi so scarred by the horrible things she took part in that she was deafened to the Force, then fought a quiet war in the dark corners of the galaxy in order to save it from a threat no one would believe exists.

I've been on a bit of a nostalgia binge recently, since I've been replaying TIE Fighter. I'm looking for more background on the making of the original trilogy and the early evolution of SW. I'm not interested in the EU, or the prequel trilogy, but I'm curious what lore on that time actually existed before Lucas made Episode One. Is The Secret History of Star Wars by Michael Kaminski a good bet, or is there some other gold-standard reference book on that I should know about?

The "Making of" books for episodes IV to VI by J.W. Rinzler are also good if you like a look into the early story, but be aware that they are officially sanctioned by Lucasfilm and as such are whitewashed occasionally. For example, the Making of Episode IV book claims that midi-chlorians were already in Lucas' early notes, and Rinzler later said that he knew that was false but Lucasfilm told him to write it in. Even so, the photographs in the books are worth the price of admission.

I wonder what point or purpose there is in not just admitting "George Lucas occasionally changed his mind or introduced new elements"
