I've been replaying KOTOR 2, and it got me wondering about the Revan book. I looked it up on Wookiepedia, and holy poo poo it sounds terrible. Has anyone read it, and is it as bad as it sounds? Inquiring minds need to know.

Pththya-lyi posted:Well, I haven't read it, but I know that it bridges the game between the KoToR series and Revan becoming a mid-level boss in TOR. So it's as bad as, if not worse than, it sounds. Holy gently caress. I knew there was a reason I didn't play TOR or read the book. loving hell. Why couldn't we get an Obsidian written KOTOR 3 instead?

My mum bought me the first YJK book once when I was sick, and I read it in a single fever-crazed sitting. I loved it to bits, but I could never find any of the others to buy, and none of the local libraries had them, either. I had to make do with reading and re-reading the relevant entries in the Star Wars encyclopedia.

DJJustice posted:I'd really love a legit good sci-fi/fantasy writer to take on the Star Wars universe (other than Zahn, who seems to be the best). Just endless piles of near fan-fiction level stories out there. There's Matthew Stover, who's probably the best author to ever work in the EU.

I have very fond memories of being 8 and loving the Phantom Menace PC game. 8 year old me was an idiot. Episode I Racer owned bones, though.

You had to come first in all the races or something like that. I remember being happy as gently caress that I'd unlocked him because I could use the flamethrower, but then switched back to using Ben Quadrinaros, because he was faster. Kind of a let down, really.

Even at 8 years old, I enjoyed killing Gungans. But then they all whipped out thermal detonators. Killjoys. At least, that's how I remember it.

Drone posted:I'm playing through Kotor 2 for the very first time and I'm kindof in love with it. Are there any EU books that are set during that time period, or at least "a long time before the prequel movies"? I have a feeling if there is anything, it's only recent stuff, and no idea if it'd be any good (most likely not). There's all the tie-in material they did for The Old Republic, which is... atrocious. Just really really terrible. If you really hate yourself, you can see how badly they gently caress the Exile in the Revan novel. But yeah, the KoTOR comics are pretty good.

I really liked the Dune prequels. When I was 11. I tried re-reading them a couple of years back, just to see if they were as bad as everyone said. Turns out 11 year old me was a loving idiot.

I have memories of liking the Ssi-ruuk. I also have memories of reading that book while staying at my Grandma's house, age 10, so that might also have something to do with it. Edit: I also loving loved Dinosaurs.

All that said, I think this bears repeating...Game Informer posted:The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”
