The entire Mandalorian civilization is created based on how cool Boba Fett is.

Which is stupid. As Filoni said, it removes Boba Fett from his uniqueness. All the Mandalorians were made a bunch of Boba Fett's.

 I agree. I never dug the Mandalorians.

 I agree. I never expecially dug the Mandalorians.

The music is one part of the show that actually has been improving. It started terrible in the movie with the techno and ethnic music, but lately it has gotten a more SW and Williams feel.

I can only complain about the techno/rock music (which is very rarely used), because the rest is pretty good.

And what about the big mantis from ANH?

They seriously need to update that wiki entry. I've read the Starlog interview with Roy Thomas where he confirms he heard directly from Lucasfilm that George hated Jaxxon.

The fact there is an EU character Lucas loathes makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

I have also learned the hard way never to mention Bucky O Hare around the real Jaxxon. ;)

The fact that Lucas knows about any EU character astounds me.

That being said, it's ironic that the creator of Jar Jar Binks finds The Jolly Green Bugs irritating enough to despise him; cognitive dissonance and double standards cloud the Flanneled One's vision once again.

The Show is good but its missing John Williams BAAAD....

 Amen! The show does have some darker more mature episodes though. For example, seeing charaters getting impaled with a light saber or cut in half.

Also, the clones have a habit of saying, "What the hell?" and "Damn!". One thing that draws me into it. Call me messed up, but i like it.

The EU was somewhat smaller in 1978 though. ;)

Wouldn't authors of the EU novels, comics and graphic novels need premission from GL to write those stories sense he owns the rights to Star Wars? I would think there would be some negotiation/questions on who the characters are and how it might fit in with the movies.

Yes, they do, but even in the early days GL might not have had the time to actually read all of it. Marvel was given a laundry list of "no no's" from Lucasfilm when they finished the movie adaptation and did original stories. The Luke/Han/Leia triangle could only go in circles, and for a long period, they couldn't do anything with Vader at all. I imagine Dark Horse and other literary licensees have similar restrictions.

It's one of the reasons the Marvel team concentrated on Han and Chewie having their own misadventures on the way to pay back Jabba. In fact, they get robbed by space pirates of the reward money for rescuing Leia right off the bat!

With the exception of Splinter of the Mind's Eye, all the early novels focus on Han or Lando.

Marvel was able to do some flashback stories about Luke and Biggs, and even an tale about Obi Wan in his Jedi days that could make for a good CW episode with a slight rewrite.

They get permission from Lucasfilm, not GL himself. But as far as I know, every author signs an agreement where it's stated that their work can be overwritten (canon wise).

I can't see where's the cognitive dissonance and double standards here.

 I wouldn't mind seeing a T.V. series about Han and Lando in their early years. We hardly got any background on them. Unless you read the EU that is. GL almost put younger versions of them in ROTS, but decided against it.

The Obi-Wan Episode might be a good idea

I wouldn't mind a Lando series with Billy Dee Williams, flirting lines, and commercial breaks with Colt 45 ads.

 Billy Dee Williams would be the only guy who could flirt without someone gagging. I find it entertaining and embarrassing.

OT.com's blu-ray petition is nice and all, but I think I might have a better idea!

No-don't give them ideas!!

I actually saw the movie and a few episodes, but aside from it being decent it really didn't feel like SW.
