The main reason Traviss got kicked out of writing Star Wars books was because she wouldn't/couldn't keep consistent characterization during shared series. She's also the type of person who didn't take criticism well and would have online meltdowns.

I think it was when they did those episodes of The Clone Wars with pacifist Mandos and she just flipped her loving poo poo. So did all the loving nerds. It was funny.

I've always wondered what's the deal with those three random alien guys palpatine is hanging out with in every scene in the prequel. Are they other senators? Do they work for him? Why did he invite them to the space opera? Are they all friends? Is there an EU comic book where they all hang out?

The blue guy is named Mas Amedda or something and apparently knew most everything about Palpatine's plans and went along with it, even though the same loving dumb EU states that Palpie hated aliens and so did his Empire. Tl; dr: Dumb loving poo poo.

:mrgw:

The use and effect of battle meditation was first described in the Star Wars expanded universe by Timothy Zahn in Heir to the Empire, when Grand Admiral Thrawn explains to Joruus C'baoth and Gilad Pellaeon his own theory as to why the Battle of Endor was lost; he believed that Palpatine employed the power to an unwise degree, taking such close control of the Imperial forces as to make them puppets, almost incapable of fighting on their own when his influence was suddenly removed (the use of battle meditation at Endor was later attributed to Admiral Nial Declann instead of Palpatine).
so some admiral had loving sith powers now? does everyone have them? IS EVERYONE loving FORCE SENSITIVE NOW GODDAMN! also, this is proof that even the Thrawn books are poo poo. all EU is garbage.

It's really hard to take out an immobile croissant with eyes (who is none the less the most powerful gangster in the galaxy).

the eu explained that as the hutts having super thick, tough skin that was impossible to cut through, blast through or blow up. you had to like, give them radiation poisoning or some poo poo. thus there was a group called the shell hutts that took to living in metal radiation husks. it was that same book series where boba fett fucks an info-spider or some poo poo.

If George had stopped to think about it he could have had Alderaan in the prequels instead of Naboo. Then blowing up Alderaan in Ep. IV would have an emotional impact for the viewer that was missing from the original movie.

Getting captured and fighting a war at like 14 years of age.

Turns out the main characters are Hera's daddy and his not-girlfriend who likes to pretend she is a prostitute to hunt imperial officers to make up for her childhood as a prostitute? I thought this book was about Vader and Sheev buddy action hour, so far it's the loving twilek with the dragon tattoo.

Someone needs to write a book where Sheev and Vader sit around and smoke weed out of a bong made from Mace Windu's lightsaber.

And one of the dudes in Rebels is the amnesia deserter sooo... Also, a good chance Rex decided to listen to that one 501st Clone who found out about the plot of Sheev sometime between the end of the series and Episode III.

Clone Wars makes mandos Space Fascists with Warrior Culture. Obi's love interest tries to change that and bring peace to her planet, but her people are all too happy to drop that peace poo poo and be Space Nazis in a second, if it makes the space trains run on time. And there is some poo poo about honorable one on one duels and "You keep what you kill."

Pre Vizla (the main bad Mando guy) is basically a gently caress you to Fandalorians in that he basically is them. He's a goofball making his own Mandalorian armor to play dress up in, babbling on and on about what a noble, proud and great warrior culture they are and how they would be awesome again if not for the loving JEDI! Also, he talks a big game about how much better he is than Jedi and Sith, and yet Obi-Wan and Darth Maul both kick his rear end. It's hilarious.
