 It was quite pleasing to see stuff from the original WEG Star Wars sourcebooks (Original, Rebel, Imperial) turn up in the prequels, much more pleasing than Chewie and Yoda being mates and the Boba/Jango/clone/stormtrooper thing.

 

You found the Yoda/Chewie relationship and the Boba/Jango/Clone/Stormtrooper thing pleasing?

Ditto on that expression of surprise.

 

Darn the internet and it's lack of tone.

Much more pleasing because Yoda and Chewie being mates and all that sucked ass!! Whereas when the wookie battle (which did suck overall) revealed the wheeled juggernaut things I was taken right back to around 1987 and the Star Wars Imperial Sourcebook. Same with the swoops and stuff, I was kind of like "wow, someone read the WEG source books, or they were officially syndicated as canon" type thing. Well I thought it was gratifying anyway that this stuff would kick around for 15 years and get included in a film (even if the majority of it was based on early concept drawings for other vehicles in the OT). I do thank god that we didn't see any Kenner mini rigs though.
