Yeah, it’s like a few people were at a round table and they discussed how they ruin lightsabers most effectively. I have no qualms with non Force Sensitives using them but that shit is just ridiculous.
Please tell me that’s old EU.
Nah it’s from the current run Star Wars main series comics. Luke gets captured by a Hutt who collects Jedi artifacts as his crown jewel and then the gang shows up to rescue him.

Han already showed he could use a light saber in Ep 5. And Leia using one isn’t that far a cry since she’s known to be force sensitive. Chewie using one should not be canon tho. But what’s he gonna do? Hide behind Han? If he’s using a Light Saber that means his gun is out of ammo or damaged or he don’t have one.

Yeah, that wampa put up a fierce fight but Han was too proficient.

Back then, I warned and laughed at many people around here who were claiming how happy they are that the old “crappy” EU will be wiped and replaced by great new stuff. I was indeed correct, as always.

He used it for survival means; not in combat.

If we put ourselves in the mindset that she’s just a regular being and completely disregard that we know she’s Luke’s sister it wouldn’t sit well with most people.

Yeah…that’s why I just stick to the novels these days.

I’d say that the ratio of good to bad is about the same: one or two good things and the rest is mostly junk. I don’t miss the old EU.

I agree that the ratio might eventually be the same. As of this moment however, new-EU has been nothing but a crap. Since TFA was a crap, I can just say everything that came after LF sale was a crap so far.

I disagree that it’s all been bad. I enjoyed the first few issues of the Poe Dameron comic (I haven’t caught up yet), the Chewbacca and Lando comics were good, and I even enjoyed the first few issues of the Obi-Wan & Anakin comic (but I have a soft spot for those goofy Jedi Apprentice novels) so far.
The comic about Poe Dameron’s parents was iffy, but not terrible. The Leia comic was meh, the Star Wars main series isn’t great (it has a couple decent moments though), and the Vader comic is… I dunno. It has pretty good writing and characters, and I used to think it was the best of the new series’, but it’s really not that great the more I think about it.

I do wonder sometimes if the comics mean as much to fans today as they did in the 70’s. We have such easy access to the movies now, even though we still have to wait patiently for the next film. And there are so many shiny flashy things competing for attention now.
Where were you in '77?

Have you even read anything nuEU related? Even if it was one comic or novel?
I really don’t think so, for the reasons you mentioned. If anything, there’s an oversaturation of related media now. I mean, to use Marvel as an example, there’s the comics empire, plus separate movies about five (Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant Man) main characters, plus Guardians of the Galaxy, plus the teamup movies, plus shows about Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, AND The Defenders teamup. Plus Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., plus the new Runaways show. Plus the plans for new movies and shows.
With Star Wars there’s the main line of films and the anthology movies, there are around ten new-EU novels, all those comics series I mentioned, and right now there’s only Battlefront for (real) Star Wars video games, but there are plans for at least two or three more.

All I have to say is Lost Stars
I have seen all anime. It is objectively bad.
Finally we’re getting somewhere.

I wonder if it’s also a generational thing. I read more comic books now than I ever have, at least two a week, because there are so many flashy shiny things. Buying DVDs aside, I find the multiple media platform saturation of Movie/TV related news, teasers, trailers and trailer-teasers to be assaulting.
For me, comic books and novels are a way to shut off the noise and travel into the story. Maybe it’s different for twenty-somethings who have only ever known multi-platform uber saturation. Perhaps what I see as noise, they see as normal. Having grown up not having to concentrate because everything is fed to them 24/7, they may find comic books and novels to be a chore. They don’t have the attention span for it because they’ve never had to.
-edit
I’m not painting all twenty-somethings as short attention sufferers. I work with two who often sit and play Stratego at lunch. I’m good for about ten minutes of watching before I glaze over. They’re also scientists, so they may see that hour as the mental downtime I associate with reading. Different ways to decompress.
I think Luuke skywalker was a pretty good example. The name alone shows how lazy the writers were. I wouldn’t be suprised if it’s pronounced the same as Luke Skywalker. Should have just called him Louk Skywalker. Why did they give him the same last name? He ain’t in the same family right?

Spoilers: Luuke is a clone of Luke. For some dumb reason, Timothy Zahn decided that clones should have an extra vowel in their names. I think they pronounce it with a long “U” sound.
