Gargamel Gibson posted:"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." if i remember right she was at one point supposed to have been 16 in Star Wars which, on the one hand, seems kind of absurdly young for a ~Galactic Senator~ but, on the other hand, ol' George wanted Marion to have been like 13 when she first met Indiana Jones

Wow, 5 pages and nobody mentions this poo poo stain https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Fleet_Crisis Evil ex-imperial slaves start doing a genocide with a fleet they nicked from the imps, Luke goes to find his mum. She’s with some super secret Uber force ladies that tell him to gently caress off. The baddies start to win then the imp’s go lol slave circuits bitch and peace out with all their ships. Other poo poo happens, all boring. Sonderval fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Apr 6, 2020 |

I vaguely remember a book called Tales from Jabba's Palace that has a princess Leia story implying she got raped a bunch while imprisoned. Also Boba Fett talks to her but doesn't rape her. So that's probably the worst one

What’s the consensus on Truce at Bakura? I read that when I was in elementary school like all the other EU novels I was obsessed with as a kid. I barely remember it other than it’s immediately after Endor and it was basically the Alliance telling Empire remnants they got owned and trying to prevent the Empire from becoming dialhforhero fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Apr 11, 2020 |

Also Luke and a lady made sexy eyes at each other but it wasn’t meant to be, so she marries to noble Imperial admiral and then dies years later when she shows up in a badass ship named after her late Admiral husband to rescue Luke in another book, her heart never having gotten over him.

I remember reading it as a kid and being insulted by how boring it was and how little Star Warsing took place, but that was entirely on me as the book could hardly be accused of being false advertising.

It's funny that as hilariously incompetent as they made Daala she was the only Imperial with any name value so they had to make her a Big Deal as the books dragged on, including making her Republic President at one point.

Darksaber was my first EU book I read as a kid in...’94 or ‘95, I think? And I loved it. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t or isn’t bad, but I have a certain nostalgic soft spot for it. I had the hardback of it and was so proud to buy it!

Darksaber meets the test of having a hilarious plot summary at least, and did not seem like a bad read at the time either, compared to The Crystal Star. 90's Star Wars books are all over the place.

Huge fleet of star destroyers, a freaking super star star destroyer, new death star, someone from the movies dies in it, jedi(???). Child me ate that poo poo up. Daala killing all her rivals at the start is great. but it all really sucks like 5 minutes after you finish the book.

The climax of Admiral Daala's career was crashing a Super Star Destroyer into a gas giant. They later retconned her into having been brain damaged, but I think the Admiral who singlehandedly lost a minimum of at least one of every single major and minor Imperial ship that existed at the time (including both a Death Star and the only existent Sun Crusher) should be recognized for her genuine achievement.

Honestly being Tarkin's gf on the basis of mutual respect is a dead giveaway that she's useless. Also apparently she was totally unaware that the Empire lost until seven years after the fact. The Wookieepedia article alone is a trip.

Because the Crystal Star put money into the pocket of a talented writer who was clearly doing a cash grab. Giving money to Kevin J. Anderson isn't just a sign of bad taste, it should be an actual crime.

Speaking of, it seems the author of Splinter of the Minds Eye and the novelisation of New Hope hasn't been getting royalties from Disney; https://twitter.com/sfwa/status/1329167580091727872?s=19 All the novelisations of the Alien trilogy too. Wonder if this is widespread, loving everything has been repainted in Legends, even the Galaxies tie-ins with their screenshot cover art. Guess it can't be everyone, Zhan has written into the new canon of course.
