DisposableHero posted:So can we use this thread for any old Star Wars canon or is this intended primarily for the current comics? The Kotor comics are pretty decent. I also read the Revan book, but that was garbage. And if you haven't played Kotor II, then grab the restoration mod and do that, because it's the most interesting piece of Star Wars media since Empire.

Did anyone read "The Star Wars"? The one based on the original script for Star Wars. If so, was it any good?

I finally pulled the trigger and grabbed all the available new Star Wars comics. I've read most of the old ones, and enjoyed them all well enough, so I'm really excited to have new stories to read. Is there a suggested reading order floating around anywhere?

They were all a lot of fun. Darth Vader is super good, goddamn. The art in Lando reminded me of Dark Empire, but good.

twistedmentat posted:Big difference is Zahn's books still hold up, though they are still just pulpy licensed sci-fi novels. I'm reading the annotated version of Heir to the Empire at the moment, and I'm finding it really interesting. I'm just sad they never put out the second or third one with annotations. One day, maybe...

As someone who spent the last 6 weeks reading every single Dark Horse Star Wars comic ever published, I can tell you there's a lot less stupid poo poo than there is in the EU novels. And most the dumbass stuff from the 90s is at least charmingly janky, which is more than can be said from the novels of the same time - I'm looking at you, Kevin J Anderson. Dark Empire is still pretty awful though.

He's got about as much screentime as Leia got in EP IV.

Sentinel Red posted:000 is indeed fun but let's face it, it's hard not to shake the feeling it's just because Gillen was a big KotoR fan back in his games journo days and wanted to a way to write HK47. 000 always strikes me as more of an homage to Creepio from Jedi Party than to HK47.

Wheat Loaf posted:Ki-Adi-Mundi was actually the main character for a while in the old Dark Horse comics. He had an apprentice who was a Tusken Raider. About a year ago (or maybe two?) I reread the entire Dark Horse Star Wars run, and I really liked the weirdness of those early (what would become) Republic comics. Nobody really had any idea what the prequels were going to be, so there's a bunch of interesting jankiness to them. Like Ki Adi Mundi having four wives and seven children.

On the whole, the comics EU was less intensely stupid. But you'll want to check out Dark Empire - clone Palpatine, Bruce Willis lookalike Jedi, p-Spliffy, and a giant space submarine.

Yeah, the new EU had actually has a pretty decent track record with LGBT representation, especially as compared to the old (and, let's face it, the films).

The only thing that's disappointing about this news is that it means there's more of a story than Sheev handing Vader the keys and trying not to giggle.

When I first heard they'd bought back Maul I thought it was super dumb but then his arc became one of the best things in all of Star Wars so way to go teenage Cptn_Dr, you sure we're wrong about that
