I followed that link, and all of the people and machinery in the top three items look like the 2009 Trek to me, (I'm never going to use the term "nuTrek",)  Am I misunderstanding part of this random Star Wars thought?

oic what you're talking about now.

Why do I get the feeling that the Star Trek EU is handled a lot more healthily than the Star Wars EU, even though I've read next to nothing of the former and far too much of the latter?

 Because the Star Wars EU obsesses over a stupid concept called "canon".

I don't see how that's true.
Lot's of general thoughts, but humans can't really have random thoughts. They're all based on thinking of something that made you think of something else. It's all linked in your mind. Hardly random.

I'm just being nitpickey and flippant. I'm snowed in and bored!
Thinking about random thoughts is a random thought.

Also imagine if Leia made it into a race for the gold star. Then Chewy licked the frosting. Han suddenly got pregnant and Luke choked the monster thing.

And yes that is Han getting pregnant. Also he brings a warhead to establish the treaty with the Shadows.

But no more stories will be told in the old EU prime universe.  Its gone and replaced with whatever Disney is replacing it with much like replacing the real star trek with the JJ version.

Tell that to a majority of the Star Trek EU.

 Other than one new lost era novel i see no other TOS star trek novels or comics.  And it is still true that they don't make any more tv shows or movies in either the tos prime universe or next gen timeline.

Most of the fan focus is on the JJ Star Trek comics i hate and loathe them will never accept them.  Although i might have been interested in an adaptation of Into Darkness in comic book form.  I liked the one for 2009 enough i suppose.

There are plenty of threads about the comics and EU.  This thread is about Chewie licking the frosting.

Wait, what?

 Uh...what?

Kirk meets 7 of 9 on February 27th, 2014.

IDW is currently reprinting the original Star Trek comics by Gold Key. They also just released this odd little number:

A photonovel sequel to the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before.

As for Trek fans, they just recently voted Into Darkness the worst Star Trek film of all time.

They also drove Roberto Orci off of twitter.

I always hated that Enterprise had the Borg.  Now that they are somehow in the TOS timeline does not surprise me.

One to many times back to the Borg.  I sort of forgave it in First Contact because i loved the movie.  But by the time they were resurrected in voyager i came to the conclusion it  was just another lazy trope.  Never mind Enterprise and the new TNG relaunch novels.

And yet again off topic sorry FINK.

Here is a random thought.  I hope new Marvel Star Wars is as good as the Williamson/Goodwin newspaper strip.

Not gonna happen i know.

I know! There'll be a big honkin' crossover between the Star Wars Universe and the mainstream Marvel Universe that'll run for five years and seventy-two issues, with lots an' lots of murders and rapes to show how mature and sophisticated it all is! Grant Morrison will be the head writer, and he'll use his own blood to pen the script! And at the end of it all both universes will crash together, fusing them into one ugly, twisted mess, and then there'll be a follow up miniseries that'll run for eighty-four issues, full of even more murders and rapes just to drive home the point of how mature and sophisticated it all is!

Oh, and Rob Liefeld will be the artist.

If you guys want a bunch of animals-in-hats posts, keep talking about comics.

I thought image only posts in anyplace other than off topic got one banned.

If that is what you mean.  By animals in hats.

Guess the rules have been relaxed/ changed used to be image only posts or animated gifs got one banned.

Unless the rules don't apply to mods. 

And i certainly am not a mod.

Found the 2010 version in Jay's thread.

  1. No personal attacks.
  2. No excessive profanity.
  3. Stay on topic.
  4. No image-only posts unless the image has a direct bearing on the topic at hand and it adds value to the discussion.

 

Guess i have been guilty of Number 3 from time to time but number 4 is very vague.

 More of a homage than a crossover (it was gloriously hideous, regardless).

That is a lot like the cover of the oversized treasury edition of star wars.

 It relates to Marvel, which now has the SW license again. And it's a SW parody cover. Why do I have to explain this? I'm not the one who posted a picture of Lassie! ;)
