I just think of Luke and Mara Jade. If that works, so can anything else. I'm very tired of all the prequel "attachment/possession" nonsense.

I think of Anakin and Padme. If that can go bad so can anything else.

I'm very tired of this EU "Jedi can do any damn thing they want- marry, have kids, get a job, leave the order, rejoin the order, fight against the order, have a beer, murder a star system, go-to-the-Dark-Side-and-always-come-back-because-it's-no-big-deal" nonsense.

Jeez, the EU writers just want their audience to have some fun, unlike the way the audiences of the prequels had a lack of fun. I think the eu approach is more reasonable than the prequel vision of the jedi. Though they do bounce back and forth between the dark and light sides a bit too much.

I agree i wish the bad special editions and prequels did not hold sway over the entire EU like they do now. When Zahn did his trilogy the canon was the oot, the novelizations and radio dramas. I so much wish for those days again before lucas destroyed star wars.

To me i guess the downward spiral began with shadows of the empire, into the special editions and then episode 1. Man star wars was dragged through the shit. To think it was once a good movies series, with good characters and stories.

Now it is just to sell action figures and other ancillary products. I swear someday george will come out and admit he made the prequels so he could sell jar jar dolls/action figures, after all he says the kids love jar jar, and he said jar jar was the key to episode 1.

All though episode II and III went further to being lol rofl trainwrecks of unimaginable lengths. I still can't watch them and imagine they got past the scripting phase.
