I skimmed the SotE LP, but I love the theory that since the book canon supercedes the game canon, everything in the game that's contradicted in the book (Game-Dash lands on Zhar and fights Boba Fett vs Book-Dash ditches the rescue party because he wasn't paid to fight) is a result of Dash lying about everything)

These critiques are really unfair. There are only two terrible Star wars books. A: The comic books. B: The regular mostly just words books.

It has this 80s Jim Henson movie vibe to it and feels a lot like it fell out of a dimensional rip and is this artifact of the lost 4th OT movie we never got in this hell timeline.

Imagine if Lucas was actually a visionary instead of sitting on his rear end and waiting for other people to develop tech and made SOTE in 1995.

I mean, according to Wikipedia the dude's career has been largely TV movies and Disney direct to video sequels, so saying "I got to work on Star Wars*" is probably a career highlight for him. Also that "we didn't want to pay John Williams for this poo poo" line can be applied to Michael Giacchino and that dude has nothing but a string of homeruns in his CV.

SRQ posted:That sexy A-Wing. Joke's on you, there isn't a wookieepedia article on any "higher passenger capacity B-Wing". Instead there's this weird off-brand Star Wars wiki article on a "B-Wing Shuttle" https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/B-Wing_Shuttle  But that's not really quite right because it doesn't have the passengers in the cockpit. There is this thing that never actually appears anywhere, but it's a bigger B-Wing that had its cockpit scavenged to be part of the new rebel transports in the sequel movies. Which joins the couple of weird vague similarities between the old Droids series and Force Awakens. I bet there's more, but I'm not going to go watch the entire droids series to find out. I don't even really want to watch the sequel movies again. I wasted too much time with this post.

"The planet looked distorted, like they were looking at it through a glass globe. It is the fourth state of matter, the Mezzicanley Wave. Now the ice will begin expanding, and the planet will soon explode." Why did Vector Prime try to end with this bizzare psuedo science fiction stuff? I never quite understood it, but they melted the planet which made it somehow explode because it got colder.

To establish that the Vong's biotechnology didn't play by the rules of bullshit fantasy science/physics as we understand them, so they can do ~*~*~crazy things~*~*~ in addition to also being Force voids so they are a problem that can't just be Jedi'd away. (My big "huh" about Vector Prime was how Danni Quee was set up to be a SUPER powerful Force-sensitive; her mere presence was enough to draw the good guys' attention to that not-Hoth planet where the Vong were keeping prisoners and staging their next step...and then she just completely disappeared from the series for like 2 years after that. Cameo appearances, at best, in all the mass market fill-in novels. I gather that she came back later in the NJO series, but I was in college by that point and had given up on trying to keep up with the EU.)

SRQ posted:https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Children_of_the_Jedi_(novel) To be fair, a lot of EU books that mentioned the Clone Wars/rise of the Empire timeframe got hit by issues when Attack of the Clones came out. The Heir to the Empire books have weird cloning issues caused by the Force and mention something along the lines of Pellaeon having fought power-mad cloners during the Clone Wars.

That's fine, but the majority of it was literally whoever wrote it (or at least the editor) didn't bother reading the rest of the EU or asking the higher ups to clarify things. Leia's age is a hilarious one.

SRQ posted:https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Children_of_the_Jedi_(novel) quote:There is conflicting information on when the story takes place; according to various statements within the text, it is set in 11, 12, and 13 ABY. However, it is officially set at 12 ABY. There is also an issue with the dating of the Clone Wars, which (along with a comment in Darksaber) are stated as ended prior to the Jedi Purge. It is also implied that Order 66 may not have been issued until after Palpatine became Galactic Emperor. Additionally, Leia's age is stated as "not quite thirty" and later as "twenty-six," although in 12 ABY, she would be thirty-one years old. raping my childhood
