Applewhite posted:The droid was actually force sensetive and just as it was heading over to Uncle Owen, it had a premonition of the important events to come and how vital it was that R2 D2 play a part in them. It used its force powers to blow its own motivator. The EU is so retardedly  that I don't know what to believe.

That loving Jedi droid has convinced me that there is no limit to EU content. What other inconceivable poo poo is out there? Is there a "Post Padme" Vader love story? Does Leia kill an Emperor clone? Does Lando ever weild a lighsabre? Are Star Destroyers post Endore avaliable on the black market? Is there a third Death Star? Does IG-88 ever drive around in an AT-ST? Do Ewoks ever engage in space travel? Does C3P0 have a love interest?

Leviathan Song posted:All of the dumb poo poo is true. Even the dumb poo poo that Blistex thought he made up. The Vader love interest and IG-88 driving an Imperial walker were the only ones that didn't happen. How about... Chewbacca's wife and kid(s) die at the hands of the Empire. Mom Mothma sacrifices herself to save the new republic. AT-AT's are used (post Endor) as farming implements. There is a planet of Sith just chilling out during all the movies, then they decide to stir poo poo up. Darth Vader is cloned and for some inexplicable (yet eye-rolling) reason appears in his suit. Akbar gets to announce that "it's another trap". The Empire (post Endor) decides that "insert mythical item" will restore them to power instead of the shitload of ships and men they still have at their disposal.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Why is their epoch (the point in time that is "year 1" i.e. Jesus' approximate date of birth for us) the battle of Yavin? It would be one thing if the Emperor declared it year 1 when he took over, or if the Rebels declared it the year 1 when they killed the Emperor and partied with the Ewoks, but to date everything as being before or after a battle in the middle of a war?! Galactic 9/11?

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Also do they even need to call it "the new republic?" The Republic existed for like, 10,000 years or more, and then went away for like, less than 25 years, and then it came back. Any senators not rubbed out by Palpatine should still be alive, assuming rich people in Star Wars can afford life-extending medical care. This empire be a tiny little footnote in galactic legislative history, with many people on outer planets barely even noticing any change. If the Tea Party served a term I'm sure it would be just as disruptive.

ThePutty posted:empire at war still had the best space battles in any star wars game ever Loved this game so much back in the day. Have your frigates create an AA screen around your heavies until your opponent wastes all his fighters and bombers, then send yours out to take out their capital ship's hangars and shield generators. also  at the Lobot stuff. If I had to come up with an analogy for EU back-stories for token movie characters it would be how people who "have lived past lives" are always some famous historical figure or someone of importance. Never Roman garbage men or 19th Century paper boys.

The Bible posted:What's the epic backstory behind that little roomba droid Chewbacca roared at and scared away? Did Luke build it or something? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MSE-6-series_repair_droid Who is the character from the original trilogy with the craziest screentime-to-wookipedia ratio. Basically, whoever has the least screentime with the longest Wookipedia article. Bonus points if their wookipedia article is longer than a real-life equivalent Sort of like how the USS Enterprise from Star Trek has a longer Wikipedia article than the USS Enterprise in the US Navy. Example: IG-88 the droid bounty hunter gets ~4 seconds of screen time, but has a wookipedia page with 2,840 words. Dog the Bounty hunter has a show spanning 7 years, but has a wikipedia page with only 1,600 words. Blistex fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Trevor Hale posted:And that whole "he should be a pedophile" thing. That was the moment when I realized that Spielberg was a loving hack that got lucky by having things go against him early in his career. Seriously: how poo poo would Jaws have been if he'd be able to use his robot shark as much as he wanted? The more freedom Spielberg and Lucas were given, the worse their work got. If they started out with the budgets and free-reign they ended their directing careers with, those classics that we loved so much (Star Wars/Indy/ET/Jaws) would have been utterly poo poo.

Fojar38 posted:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Muftak The fact that you were even able to find out who that character was means that I now have a much lower opinion of you Fojar. Instead of me posting pictures of every single extra from the original trilogy I guess I could ask. . . does literally everyone have a backstory? Can I point out (during the emperor's arrival on the death star in ROTJ) the storm trooper in the second last row, 5th from the left (which is actually a matte painting, and not even real actors) and he will literally have his own novella about how he slept in during the battle of endor and his turbolaser cannon (the one defending the entrance to the reactor access tunnel) went unmanned, meaning he single-handedly allowed the rebellion to defeat the empire?

Nude Bog Lurker posted:Zahn got retroactively hosed by a lot of the poo poo written after his books came out, so it kind of comes off like the New Republic just forgot about their captured Super Star Destroyer and dozens of massive capital ships and basically get punked by Thrawn with, like, six Star Destroyers. Now I only read the Thrawn trilogy once (when I was 11 or 12) but I think that was sort of the charm of it, that he was such a great strategic mind that he could pull a victory out of a situation where a regular commander really shouldn't have even tried in the first place.

sleepy.eyes posted:All this poo poo makes me really glad I skipped almost everything in the EU. My brother is big into Thrawn, and the one thing I remembered him pointing to as proof of his genius is some poo poo with asteroids. It was something like he cloaked a few and threw them at a shipyard, while giving them transponders. The whole idea was he just left out a couple numbers in the sequence so everyone was flipping out looking for the asteroids they missed while he did whatever the real plan was. Really? The best tactician in the universe is so good he does the whole sheep-with-numbers-painted-on prank? I sort of liked the simplicity of it and how the rebels would fall for it as, "The empire is a huge bureaucracy, they would totally label it". It's a much better "master plan" than one that relies on "We're building an even bigger super-star-destroyer".

Otisburg posted:a poster for the new starwar was released yesterday and people are real excited It would be interesting to see what a Death Star that doesn't get blown up after 10 minutes of use can actually do. It was kicking rear end at the end of ROTJ, and would have pretty much ended the Rebellion during ANH, but both times it gets popped. As long as they don't blow it up in the first movie, and it is a lingering threat, I think it could work. Then again this is the same guy (JJ Abrams) who essentially recycled Wrath of Khan twice in a row for his two Star Trek movies. I'm expecting things to look and sound beautiful, and the writing to be "meh" like pretty much everything he has ever done.

I could've sworn that Moff Tarkin destroyed Alderan instead of Dantooine because Dantoonie was too small to make an impression. I took that to mean they destroyed Alderan as a way of saying if you mess with the empire you get blown up. The Death Star might have been destroyed before the official press conference was issued, so they could have spun it. . . it's loving EU! It's not supposed to make sense.
