Even by Sturgeon's Law Star Wars is loving terrible. You have literally 2.5 good movies, some good video games (namely KOTOR, X-Wing/Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron, and Jedi Academy), that Clone Wars cartoon Tarkatovsky did, and maybe the Thrawn trilogy and that's basically loving it. That sounds like a lot but we're talking about such a glut of material over 40 years that it's almost obscene that more of it isn't worth more than a wank and a smile.

Like when Doctor Who and Star Trek's EUs kick the poo poo out of yours, maybe it's not nearly as fertile a franchise as you've been lead to believe.

agreed, but it's a catch-22 because you have to be familiar with the EU to really appreciate how hard KOTOR2 is trashing it

Oh is that why KOTOR 2 is so highly regarded? I was in a busy place when it came out and heard mixed things (this was well before the patches) so I never checked it out, but if it's a takedown of the EU I could definitely make time for it now.

boba fett is stupid and useless

Yeah but he looks cool and looking cool is literally 85% of the reason anyone likes Star Wars for any reason.

Also, the fact that Han 'won' a planet sort of bothers me. It seems to go against everything the New Republic would stand for as it's basically colonialism.

Everything related to planets in Star Wars makes no goddamn sense.
