elf pr0n posted:So if I was getting back into the entire Star Wars EU/Jedi Academy/whatever else what books should I read? The only Star Wars book I read was Shadows of the Empire (lol) and I really want to read me some Star Wars books! Yoda: Dark Rendezvous was pretty good even if it's a prequel novel. I was skeptical about a Yoda novel but it's done pretty well honestly. It makes Dooku pretty sympathetic.

Muppetjedi posted:Is this the book where Dooku tries to get Yoda to turn to the dark side, Yoda does for a fraction of a second and Dooku shits himself because he realises how evil a 900 year old master would be like? I think so, I know in the book Yoda hints that he had been tempted before...

Doc Hawkins posted:The Flashman novels are based on a character from someone else's book. Myths propogate and multiply, as people come up with new stories of what Coyote did, or Roland, or Rama, or whatever. A Flashman-like character in the EU would be pretty funny if written well.

Here, have some more maps The most weird part of the DS2 Throne room is that there's a airlock for a shuttle to dock with. And acording to the book one was docked there at the time of the Battle of Endor... So instead of walking a few feet to the near by airlock Luke drags Vader down god knows how many levels to reach a hanger. T-1000 posted:That's a good idea.

Mister Roboto posted:I'd think the bottomless shaft beside the stairs is the most weird part... I don't have a scanner but I don't think the book itself is hard to find. It's somewhat expensive though but well worth it for A. The art B. The little details and backstory ,for example, it makes a note that "When Senator Palpatine presided over the Theed Power Generator opening ceremony his intrerast in the 'Deep Pit' design was much noted", there was a 'subway' inside the first Death Star (for officers only), Obi Wan's hut was first built by a prospector, little things like that.

She held the academic title of Doctor and worked mostly for the New Republic. Dr. Antilles specialized in dangerous artifact collection, aka "treasure hunting", and was the New Republic's chief advisor on artifact recovery.

draize_train posted:This argument has come up several times in this thread before. Godfather Part II and Temple of Doom are some examples, but prequel films in themselves are rare, and most of them are just cheap and fast cash-ins like Dumb and Dumberer or various "baby" versions of popular franchises... There's the answer! The prequel's should have focused on Jabba the Hutt's many adventures. That would obviously fit the spirit of Star Wars more then-oh..

Fox of Stone posted:I just looked at the link and saw further links to "A Call to Reason" and "Declaration of Rebellion." I didn't know that star wars fanfic writers went that far to outright copy the writings right before the american revolution. Too blatent? "We, the beings of the Rebel Alliance, do this day send forth this Declaration to His Majesty, the Emperor, and to all sentient beings in the Galaxy, to make clear to all the Purposes and Goals of this Rebellion. We firmly acknowledge the importance and necessity of the institution of Galactic Government. We accept that all must subjugate themselves to that Government, giving up certain rights and freedoms, in return for peace, prosperity and happiness for all. We believe that the Galactic Government derives its power and right to rule from the consent of the governed. We believe that, should the rights of free beings be willfully and malignantly usurped, it is the unalienable right of said beings to alter or abolish said Government. We believe that the Galactic Empire has willfully and malignantly usurped the rights of the free beings of the Galaxy and therefore, it is our unalienable right to abolish it from the Galaxy. We do not take this course lightly. Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, but when a Government displays a history of usurpation, abuse and moral atrocity, displaying a clear design to subjugate totally and absolutely beings born free under the auspices of nature, it is our right—our duty—to depose of that Government. The history of the present Galactic Empire is of repeated injuries upon its members, with the direct objective of establishing you, Emperor Palpatine, as absolute tyrant over the Galaxy: You have disbanded the Senate, the voice of the people; You have instituted a policy of blatant racism and genocide against the nonhuman peoples of the Galaxy; You have overthrown the chosen leaders of planets, replacing them with Moffs and Governors of your choice; You have raised taxes without the consent of those taxed; You have murdered and imprisoned millions without benefit of trial; You have unlawfully taken land and property; You have expanded the military far beyond what is necessary and prudent, for the sole purpose of oppressing your subjects. We, the Rebel Alliance, do therefore in the name—and by the authority—of the free beings of the Galaxy, solemnly publish and declare our intentions: To fight and oppose you and your forces, by any and all means at our disposal; To refuse any Imperial law contrary to the rights of free beings; To bring about your destruction and the destruction of the Galactic Empire; To make forever free all beings in the galaxy. To these ends, we pledge our property, our honor, and our lives."
