Anything that is truly evil is either superficially beautiful or above human comprehension. Your avatar is neither. Therefore you FAIL!

I'd only buy it if it guaranteed me finding God/a woman who would love me for me for all time. Otherwise, fuck no! I could think of better things to spend $99 on, such as DVDs/Blu-rays of the first, third, and seventh entries in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series!

Yes, but Frink is ridiculous with his appraisal of it. That's in keeping with his nature, though, so I don't hold it against him.

I command it to open the minds and hearts of unbelievers to the spirit of the Unknown God, but it rarely ever listens to me.

DeviantART deleted one of my images for being pornographic. IDIOTS! What I submitted was completely in line with their rules!

Vengeance will be mine, I say! VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE!!!

Even drunk, my command of the written typed word is exemplary.

^What are you driving at, Pseudo-Kirk?

There's something sadly beautiful about hearing birds sing at twilight.

God bless the avian species' -- they make the world more beautiful than it deserves to be.

Due to Frink's hatred for all thinks EU, I've decided to go ahead and create a thread devoted to any comments on the Star Wars Expanded Universe that don't comfortably fit in the "What do you LIKE about the EU?" or "What do you HATE about the EU?" threads.

With that said, let the random EU thoughts begin!

Alright, that's it -- I'm creating a Random EU Thoughts Thread.

I hope you're happy now, Frink.

Wait, she was considered attractive at one point?  I guess I never paid much attention to her because I thought she went straight from looking like a little girl to someone who had done way too many drugs and is in danger of starving to death. 

Shows what I know.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't find teenage girls attractive. I did when I was a teenager, so why wouldn't I now?

That being said, I'm not going to jump in bed with one; even if there weren't statutory rape laws to deal with, few teenage girls have enough taste and intellect to engage me beyond a physical level -- most are idiots, to put it bluntly. 

Reading this thread is like exploring the pathways of a relatively normal brain only to witness it suffer a sudden, severe stroke.

It's getting harder and harder for me to believe that I ever found Miley Cyrus attractive.

^ That's pretty good, except for Predator-style wrist blades. Is Wonder-Woman known for eviscerating her opponents?

She's known for snapping necks these days, so going from that to perforating her opponents is no great leap.

How many times did the rebels destroy the first death star in your multiverse? If they succeed most of the time, it would take away the tension for me, as they are kind of "meant" to win; If they fail most of the time, there are hundreds of thousands universes left where the empire wins, which would, in my eyes, make the few victories of the rebels pretty much meaningless. (If it's only one time, it would literally make it a "one in  a million" shot, like Han said :-D)

I like to think most of the universes are very different from one another, kinda like how the universes of the original DC Multiverse were portrayed. "Very similar" and "nearly identical" universes exist, but as far as I'm concerned, they're few and far between.

At the same time, 1,000,000 is still a very small number to explain how so many universes developed exactly the same except for one event. In my opinion, a big amount of branching points in a relatively short time (~100 years around the OT) doesn't seem very likely.

In regards to my multiverse, I don't use a branching system; all universes -- all naturally created universes, that is -- came into existence at the same time during the Big Bang; any similarities between worlds would have came about through chance, not any division of timelines.

In the end, it depends if you're writing a dead serious chronicle or if you allow for some fun with "bizarro universes". In the former case, everything has to be thought through and plausible, in the latter case, smaller inconsistencies aren't that much of a problem.

JFTR, I like to play around with both. =P

I wasn't sure Blu-rays could get scratched.

Contrary to popular belief, God did not create Blu-rays directly from His substance. ;-) 

I've been waiting to read an article like this

for a very long time.

Too bad the comments section is packed to the brim with fail, though. Seriously, it's like reading the tripe spewed from religious fanatics.

INT. ORRON III -- DUQUESNE HOMESTEAD/NASHIRA'S BEDROOM -- EVENING

Curled up nude under the covers, Nashira lies asleep on the right side of her bed. Her face serene in slumber, she unconsciously reaches out to the left side of her bed; when she finds nothing there, her eyes slowly slide open.

NASHIRA: Nik?

Taking care to keep her breasts covered against the slight night chill of the room, 'Shira sits up in bed. Before the open door of the bedroom, clad only in a pair of boxer briefs, stands Anakin, stock-still with his back turned to his girlfriend.

NASHIRA: Anakin, what are you doing? Come back to bed.

Slowly, Nik turns to face 'Shira. His eyes, dark and wet with shed tears, burn straight through into her soul.

ANAKIN: (voice breaking) Nashira -- don't follow me.

Turning back away from her, the young Jedi steps out of the bedroom.

NASHIRA: (alarmed) Anakin, what's wrong? Wait!

Rising from her bed, 'Shira quickly slips on her robe and follows her lover out of the door.

EXT. DESOLATE WORLD -- DAY (DREAM)

Stepping through the door, Nashira suddenly finds herself standing on an alien world; the surface is a dried up river bed, the sky dim brown with swirling dust. Anakin stands before her, now clad in black robes and armour, his handsome face livid with rage.

ANAKIN: (angry) I told you not to follow me! Why didn't you listen to me, Nashira?! Why?!

In fear of her lover, 'Shira turns around to retreat back through the doorway. Unfortunately for her, it has disappeared, replaced by a WOMAN. Dressed in robes of vermilion and aureolin, her long, jet-black hair beaded with precious gemstones, the woman is humanoid, with bright red skin, a pair of short facial tentacles dangling from her cheeks, and a slight simian cast to her facial features; she is a lovely creature, though not in a conventional sense.

NASHIRA: Who are you?

The woman refuses to answer. Before 'Shira can repeat her question, several vines suddenly erupt from the ground around the girl. Entangling her before she can escape, they seize her in an unbreakable hold and pull her down to her knees before the strange woman.

RED-SKINNED WOMAN: I am the past.

Raising a single arm, the humanoid woman points at Anakin.

RED-SKINNED WOMAN: (cont'd) He is the future.

The vines realign themselves, turning 'Shira around to face Anakin. Anakin, though, is no longer Anakin; he has been transformed into a petrifyingly hideous TRANDOSHAN-WOOKIEE HYBRID.

As Nashira releases a bloodcurdling SCREAM, the creature that was once Anakin reaches to the lightsaber hanging from its belt and unclips it. Engaging a blade with a corona of mixed indigo and red-violet, it brings the weapon down on 'Shira's head, splitting her right down the centre.

INT. ORRON III -- DUQUESNE HOMESTEAD/NASHIRA'S BEDROOM -- EVENING

With a cry, Nashira bolts upright in bed. Breathing and sweating heavily, she turns to her right; beside her, fast asleep and snoring lightly, is a very Human Anakin.

ANAKIN: (mumbling) If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat ...?

Slowly, cautiously, 'Shira lies back down. She remains wide awake, though, her eyes fixed open, unblinking.

There should either be a plot device, that allows for only a certain number of alternate timelines (which could be hard to introduce without logical errors)

I think it's relatively easy to make a finite SW Multiverse -- that's what I've done for my own personal canon, limiting the multiverse to 1000000+ universes only. You've just got to take care not to violate the first law of thermodynamics when working with the idea.
