WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!
|
A years ago a bunch of goons did a collective read-through of the bad Star Wars books. While I wasn't a Star Wars book reader I found the thread amusing enough that I joined in against my better judgment (thread link). My first contribution was the Dark Nest Trilogy by Troy Denning. The most memorable parts are two characters joining a Bug Orgy, and Luke watching Episode 3 then declaring himself Space Pope. The other book I read was Red Harvest, the second 'Star Wars + Zombies' novel featuring glaring plot holes, inconsistent story-boarding, the lamest name a Sith Lord can pick, and cribbing Liam Niessan's lines from Taken.
Other books (and comics) that were reviewed in the thread:
- The Jedi Prince series, which includes Captain Planet-level soapboxing, Moffs wearing blaster earings and saying "Dark Greetings", Hologram Fun World, and Robo-Leia
- Dark Empire comics, wherein a cloned Palpatine looks like David Bowie and everyone else looks like Bruce Campbell.
- Truce at Bakura featuring whistling Space Dinosaurs getting their poo poo pushed in by the equivalent of the U.S. Coast Guard-Crisis Averted!
- Shadows of the Empire featuring an alien that gives of date-rape drugs as a natural pheromone.
- The Jedi Academy series, in which the term "Mary Sue" accurately describes a spaceship.
- The Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy, a convoluted mess with more backstabs than a game of Diplomacy, plus a guide that replaced his head with a laser cannon.
- Death Troopers, the previous Zombie novel and probably the only work since the Holiday Special to mention "Life Day."
- Darksaber, a story about the most pathetic attempt at a Superweapon and a lesson on why its not enough to just say a character is smart.
- The Crystal Star featuring Luke becoming enthralled by a sentient blancmange
- And so much more.
