Also, the chronological order is the order George Lucas told us to watch the movies, and there is a reason for that.
Yeah, 'cause he’s a revisionist. Star Wars is the Tragedy of Darth Vader. Star Wars has always been the Tragedy of Darth Vader.
If it had been up to me, the SW Saga would’ve consisted of twelve episodes instead of Lucas’ six, with the first five covering the prequel era.
Starcrash. I’ve finally watched a sci fi film that is worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special. One of the worst films i have ever seen, worse than At the Earth’s Core even.
This movie has a cult following, and I just don’t get it. Caroline Munro’s hot. Big whoop. T&A alone can’t elevate a bad movie to so-bad-it’s-good.
Palpatine being a young senator post-Clone Wars does conflict a bit with the picture Zahn painted of Palps in the Thrawn trilogy, which establishes him being active in the pre-Clone Wars decades. Though this discrepancy could be rectified if Palps was already using clone bodies at this point, with him possibly posing as his own son as a cover.

The Jedi as individuals aren’t bad (mostly). The Jedi as an institution, on the other hand…
Tales of the Jedi is my favorite EU Comics is a shame that this story never had an animated series in the 90s i imagine it being similar to He-Man or Thundercats
Something like this, then:

Unpopular opinion - I don’t like their depiction, but as depicted in the movies, the prequel Jedi that people call “dogmatic,” “flawed,” “political,” “cold,” etc. were right about a lot of things.
They can be right and still be all of those things.
Recasting Boba Fett and the Emperor for continuity’s sake is a good idea on paper, but both miss the mark completely in execution to the point where I prefer the originals.
It’s really galling when you learn that Temuera Morrison is fully capable of doing a Boba Fett voice closer to Jason Wingreen’s. I’ve heard that Lucas had Morrison record the lines over the phone when it was around 2 AM in New Zealand; I wouldn’t be up for a proper line-reading at that time, either.
Padme’s only tolerable when she’s in action mode and doesn’t speak.
I still don’t understand why you hate her. Lol.
And I don’t understand why you love her.
It’s a cilantro-type situation, I suppose.
Absolutely NOT a fan of Zahn explaining away the cave on Dagobah.
I wasn’t bothered by the backstory, but I loathed Zahn making Luke’s vision a premonition of his duel with the Luuke clone. It’s one of those aspects that makes Zahn’s otherwise solid writing feel like cheap fanfic.
Padme’s only tolerable when she’s in action mode and doesn’t speak.
Ugh. Applying the single unalterable timeline theory to SW fills me with so much disgust. “Always in motion is the future”, remember? Another reason why I hate that goddamn Chosen One horseshit.
I recall seeing the cover art for the Faces set before I watched any of the films. So I wasn’t altogether surprised when it was revealed the alien whose big green face emblazoned the ROTJ tape was Yoda.
I’m jealous of those who got the proper theatrical viewing experience.

Jesus, spambots are a nuisance around here, but this cretin really takes the biscuit. 121 posts in all but two subforums. I’m surprised they didn’t spam the announcements too.

While I like the idea of a SW Multiverse, I hate the idea of crossovers between universes. I have little doubt Filoni and co. would sink that low.
Someone on this forum shared a pre-TESB Starlog article which speculated about Darth Vader and Sith moral codes. I wish I’d bookmarked it.
Kressh and a few of the other Sith Lords depicted in The Golden Age of the Sith Empire appear out of step with the Sith who showed up post-1999.
Can’t imagine the social Darwinist Sith of Lucas, Karpyshyn, Ostrander, etc. showing such compassion.
Maybe. I got the same impression from the lousy Legacy era. The Legacy of the Force novels = the PT, the Legacy comics = the OT. The rehash par excellence – at least prior to Jar Jar Abrams.
It left me cold. It’s better than ROTS, but that’s a low bar to clear. I don’t know who these characters are or what motives them because Flynn provides no context. He should’ve penned an entire PT treatment instead of providing this big nothing burger.
