Shimrra Jamaane posted:That's not true, the MMO is basing its entire plot around the events in KoTOR 2. The entire "True Sith" empire brought up in KoTOR 2 is the enemy in the MMO. The "True Sith" bit is the only thing related to KOTOR 2 that is being used in the MMO. In the little history videos narrated by Lance Henriksen on the website, which depict the entire history of the Sith, Jedi, Mandalorians, and Republic from the dawn of the Republic up to the timeframe of the MMO, the events of KOTOR 1 are covered exhaustively but literally nothing from KOTOR 2 is covered. Also the True Sith from the MMO are just retconned into being the exact same Sith Empire from TOTJ rather than the more esoteric threat implied by Kreia in KOTOR 2. Anyway more good Republic Commando news from CV which I didn't see mentioned here (sorry if it was in the other thread and I missed it): apparently according to Filoni, Delta Squad's inclusion in the Clone Wars show means that they may actually make a Republic Commando 2 now. If that happens that would go a long way towards reversing my negative feelings for that show.

I have to say that as below the rest of the Jedi Knight games as it was and as much as the plot made absolutely no sense, I really enjoyed Jedi Academy. Not in the same way as TIE Fighter or KOTOR, but it was just a fun, mindless "run around and use Force powers" game.

Nucleic Acids posted:Not to launch a political derail, but I'm curious to find out what this kind of theforce.net dweller would consider "socialist opression." There was one Fandalorian I remember from way back in the day (who was actually Canadian of all things) who was a full-on fascist apologist. He would actually go on about how Franco and Mussolini were great leaders and all the stuff against them are just trumped-up lies (not sure if he ever made the jump to defending Hitler although at one point I do think he cast doubts on the Holocaust). He also believed that the Catholic Church was literally a flawless and perfect organization that has done no wrong and is single-handedly responsible for creating Western civilization in the middle ages. There are a lot of other users there with taglines that are Bible verses and stuff like "God bless America and Israel"

Azzmo posted:I speculate that many people, as you're probably about to see, have a personal dislike for Traviss that transcends and ignores the good writing that she has done. I actually think that personal dislike of Traviss is pretty justified. She did do stuff like compare her detractors to the Taliban, write about fantasies in which they were killed, mocked them for having less sex than her imaginary characters, and posted about how she hated them in forums around the internet that had nothing to do with Star Wars and/or the issue at hand, essentially furthering the same pro-Traviss/anti-Traviss debate at the same time she claimed she just wanted it to end. Then there is her tendency to cry sexism or anti-military bias at all of her critics. She's incredibly petty, vindictive and two-faced, so yes, I think those are personal issues that do affect my ability to enjoy her work. Then there is also stuff like how she retcons and overwrites things for no reason - for all that she claims to like Mandalorians she has tried to retcon all pre-Traviss Mandalorian history away so only her version survives as the canonical Mandalorian history (for example, she changed the spelling of Mandalore's capitol city and also retconned the Mandalorian City of Bone to be an amusement park fake passed off as an actual city to gullible Imperials by WALON VAU THE GREAT). Not to mention changing stuff for literally no reason at all, even remotely related to her personal likes and dislikes (like changing Callista's last name for no reason). And finally there is the fact that she is very transparent with her blatant political views that she wedges into her work - she really really hates Tony Blair and lo and behold in her LOTF books Jacen spouts a number of Tony Blair quotes. Not to mention the fact that: 1) The series is called "Republic Commando" and not "Mandalorian" 2) Her books are ostensibly based on an FPS combat game yet most of the "action" consists of people sitting around talking about how they love the Mandalorians and hate the Jedi 3) If you actually think her books have any sort of nuanced critique of the Jedi rather than blind irrational hatred no matter the logic of the viewpoint (remember, Traviss said she stood up and cheered in the theater when she saw the Order 66 montage in ROTS) then I just don't know what to tell you

Throb Robinson posted:I'm pretty sure if it ever does come to light the show will be more like BSG. A "Dark Edgy" Star Wars for adults. That would blow big time. If anything it should be a adventure serial like SG-1. Nothing ever too heavy. I know that a few years ago some LFL person said that they had hired writers from BSG, Lost, and Heroes to work on the scripts for the show. Speaking of Doctor Who I know Russel T. Davies also said that he was approached by Lucasfilm to write for the show but turned them down because he could never imagine working on sci-fi again after the utter pinnacle of the genre that was his run on Doctor Who (thank god). That being said from the tone of recent Star Wars products as well as Lucas' comments early on that the show would concentrate on bounty hunters and fighter pilots (and the fact that Rome is apparently his favorite TV show), I definitely see them as using BSG as a pattern for the live-action show. Personally I've always seen Farscape as the ideal model for what a Star Wars show should be like. Ragtag band of multi-species rebels, militaristic human government as the enemy, use of puppets over CGI for aliens, compelling stories that had lots of drama and action while still retaining jokes and lightheartedness - Farscape always seemed a lot more Star Warsy to me than the Star Wars prequels themselves.

The ground combat of Empire at War is especially appalling considering that the game was designed by Petroglyph, which is the company made from former Westwood Studios employees after EA shut down Westwood. The same people who made Command & Conquer are responsible for one of the worst ground-based combat games I've ever played.

The Mon Cal history is one of the many EU things that got messed up by the prequels. Originally they had no contact with the galaxy outside their star system until the Empire invaded and occupied their planet. Sources from that era were the ones that said that their starships were pleasure cruisers later refurbished as warships. Then when there were Mon Cals and Quarren in the prequel movies (meaning they were obviously part of the greater galaxy pre-Empire) and newer EU had them building starships for the Confederacy (to explain why the ships in ROTS looked similar to the organic Rebel designs in ROTJ) the whole thing went wonky. I'm not actually sure how they reconciled the pre-prequel and post-prequel Mon Cal stuff or if they just basically handwaved the earlier stuff away.

I actually think it was KJA, in the first Essential Chronology (which I believe was his last SW work ever), who made BBY/ABY go from being just an out-of-universe term to an in-universe term. Although to be honest while it's dumb from an in-universe perspective, it's something I can go with, it's easier to have a good OOU basis to go from than to constantly try to calculate "when was Galactic Year Zero in relation to book X and how far was that after the movies again?"

I remember reading that Stackpole also wanted to do a story-arc of the X-wing comics involving Boba Fett and the Mandalorians that would have been an homage to The Manchurian Candidate (like how The Rebel Opposition was an homage to the original 50's Anastasia movie). While that might have been interesting (The Manchurian Candidate is one of my favorite novels/movies) I honestly am glad that at least one major EU series remained empty of the Mandalorians. DougieC posted:The Alderaan factor is actually one of the best issues of the Marvel series. Which isn't saying much. It's actually written by the the guy who later wrote Crimson Empire (Randy Stradley, who is pretty much head of Dark Horse's Star Wars projects). I like a lot of stuff that Randy Stradley has worked on, but every single time I've talked with him over email, forums, or in person he's come across as the biggest jackass in the entire world.

In fact, the only moderation that I've seen occur recently has been in posts by pro-Traviss cretins (when Robimus turned to personal snipes after overwhelmingly failing to offer good defense of her works). Really? Wow, that is a pretty big change of culture than from when I was on TFN. Back then I remember Havac actually being the main pro-Traviss mod. I think he actually once banned me for voicing my irritations with Traviss. Funny to see that LOTF was so bad that it changed people's opinions so much (although I also remember TFN posters continually trying to look at LOTF with rose-colored glasses and say how "it will all make sense in the end, there's no way all these loose plot threads will be kept dangling at the end of the series!" long after they should have).

But I'm kind of surprised that AC Crispin was there, after she wrote the Han Solo books didn't she have some kind of falling out with Lucasfilm? Maybe I'm just misremembering. Also to be honest I would rather read KJA's Star Wars novels (including his Young Jedi Academy stuff) a thousand times over any of his Dune works. I will admit that I have enjoyed some of KJA's stand-alone (ie non-tie-in) works, although I haven't read that big space opera series of his so maybe that is also terrible.

Watching that Han Solo animation reminds me of this fan-made "trailer" that came out a few years ago just prior to Celebration IV and had a lot of people wondering if it was a leaked official trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAPDje3onJo And actually watching both the Han Solo and New Republic animations made me realize how big of an idiot Lucas was for making a Star Wars cartoon centered around the prequels rather than the original trilogy. It really makes me sad how almost everything Lucasfilm has done over the past 11 years has been either: 1) Trying to convince people the prequels are actually good movies 2) Trying to convert the rest of Star Wars into the prequels I mean - do you think this is just a cash cow reason, or does Lucas actually think the prequels are the better Star Wars movies?

Palpatine's backstory will presumably be covered at least a bit in Luceno's upcoming Darth Plagueis novel. For those who don't know, the novel was announced a few years ago, then said to be dead, then appropriately enough revived a few months ago. I don't know if it's changed since, but Luceno said that the original version at least not only included young Palpatine, but also contrasted Plagueis' search for immortality with Qui-Gon's discovery of how to join with the Force for quasi-immortality as implied by the ending of ROTS.

I realized a few months ago that with Legacy ending I have just about absolute zero interest in the post-ROTJ EU at the moment. Every time I read something new about FOTJ it reinforces my decision. I am somewhat interested in the sequel to Crosscurrent but that's about it and even that won't be coming out for something like a year or more. Actually to be honest once Legacy finishes up really the only Star Wars-related things I'll be looking forward to are the Crosscurrent sequel, the Nomi Sunrider book, JJM's Knight Errant comic, and maybe the Michael Reaves book about the holostar, which could be fun if it does a sort of "ridiculous celebrity culture in the GFFA" vantage point (which I'm sure it won't do, but still). It makes me sad to realize that even a few years ago I had so much more enthusiasm and excitement for Star Wars than I do now.

LOTF also had characters using fake curse words from both BSG and Farscape (frak, frell). Or Jacen/Caedus reusing quotes from Tony Blair speeches. Of course those only happened in books written by one of the three authors, I'm sure I don't have to say which one.

The human aging thing has actually gone back and forth. In the really early EU (stuff like Marvel, the 80's WEG stuff, and even the Thrawn Trilogy and Truce at Bakura) it's assumed that advanced technology means that humans live far longer than they do today - there are a number of humans from then who are a century or two old. Then when the EU got a bit more established under Bantam it basically became that SW humans aged the same as real-life humans, with characters like Mon Mothma dying from old age in their 70s for example. Then as of a few years ago it's swung back around again, literally for the sole purpose of explaining how the Big Three could still be around and active. Denning was actually the one who reintroduced this retcon to justify how active Han and Leia were in his LOTF books with the typical Denning quote "In the GFFA 70 is the new 40"

Wingnut Ninja posted:I hadn't really thought about how Order 66 somewhat undermines the whole "clones are living, thinking people and the Jedi are monsters for using them as a slave army" argument. I mean, as clones, you'd expect them to be exactly like natural-born people, albeit with some rather extreme training, but EXECUTE ORDER 66 whoops nope they're essentially just sophisticated, squishy droids. No free will and programmable to do whatever you want. It's still an ethical minefield, but it moves them a lot closer to the "manufactured tool" end of the spectrum. Unsurprisingly, Karen Traviss is as far as I know the only one whose works argued that there was no subconscious training in the clones to program them to accept Order 66. They did it because they were all such good soldiers and knew they had to execute Order 66 to wipe out the Jedi because their commanders told them to (hmm...). This is even after it was stated by Stover that the clones being programmed to obey came from Lucas himself, not to mention how ever other author assumed the clones were also. So again basically just boiling it down to how the hell did Lucasfilm let Traviss get away with this poo poo? RocknRollaAyatollah posted:So can someone explain to me how Daala became head of the Galactic Republic? That just seems kind of ridiculous and even more so than the EU usually is. I think Denning actually said that the reason he made Daala the Chief of State because "no one else made sense in the role." Which shows three things: 1) In-universe this of course is total bullshit considering that there was an entire Senate, Galactic Alliance officer corps, diplomats, cabinet officials, etc., all of who, would obviously made "more sense" than an unreconstructed Imperial warlord who was charged with war crimes for terror bombing civilians and trying to destroy Coruscant. 2) It really highlights the lack of the current EU in building up background characters outside of the Big Three, their families, and the Jedi Council members. If they had decided to keep building up their casts instead of killing them off and focusing on the same movie characters they wouldn't have had this severe lack of supporters to force them to rely on a character who hadn't been in a book in 15 years coming back out of nowhere to take over. 3) Denning is a loving hack

^^ Also both being "female former military officer" (Traviss likes to make a big deal out of the fact that she was briefly a PR official for the Territorial Army which she levies into claims that she fully served in the military, writes for her "fellow" soldiers, etc) Azzmo posted:He's perfectly readable. He was actually considered one of the better Star Wars authors after his first entry into the franchise. Unfortunately he went on to pen a three book series called The Dark Next Trilogy which contained some very uncomfortable plot lines and characters who didn't act like themselves. I consider it the point that the EU stopped being fun and started being about slogging through grandiose plot lines where the longstanding characters do what the plot demands when the plot demands it for the sake of extra pages. I actually thought that Star by Star was terrible. It has some good moments (Luke, Tsavong Lah, Nom Anor and Leia are well written, and the battle segments are good) but it's really clunkily written, way too long, focuses disproportionately on Dennin'g pet characters, and the Wayland mission makes absolutely no loving sense and just screams out "This is written to satisfy a Lucasfilm plot mandate." Also not only did Denning contribute three books each to LOTF and FOTJ but he is the guy who came up with the outlines for each series, so he's really responsible for the terrible plots of them. The entire post-NJO book series is essentially Denning's brain child (even though some of the details were filled in by others) and it's no coincidence how it's also one of the least coherent, rambling, and idiotically-plotted blocs of the EU.

Drighton posted:I have a CD, not sure where I got it from, that has a audiobook version of Vector Prime and a interview with the authors. In there they state that they did meet up and plan out the entire series before they even wrote it. It was in these meetings that they decided they needed to kill one of the main characters to really stress the danger of the Vong (kind of like the Justice League: How do create a threat that justifies involving 6 superheroes? Make Superman go down like a pussy.). They initially wanted to kill Luke (I think they should have done this) but Lucas, through representatives, said no. They later got a list of acceptable casualties and thus Chewie got the axe. Yeah, building off this not only was there an outline but much of it was written/developed by Luceno and Stackpole (which is odd given that in later years he seems to have distanced himself from the NJO somewhat, although maybe that's telling - I know he really strongly disagreed with the decision to kill Anakin). Also some of the NJO makes more sense when you realize that it was originally going to be a comic series. I think the pacing issues that affected the NJO especially in the second half wouldn't have popped up (at least, assuming that the comic series wasn't really shittily paced) just due to the format, and the Vong with all their completely new ships and technology would have gone over better in a visual format.

I always assumed it was clones and Dark Jedi against the Republic and the Jedi, although I didn't think the Jedi would be the institutionalized generals like they ended up being, rather ronin-like figures who helped out the Republic forces individually. I don't think I figured that Palpatine would be behind the anti-Republic forces also, just that he would use the war to bolster his own power.

The last thing I saw of L. Niel Smith's was an alternate history webcomic where Texas remained an independent country/libertarian utopia because they won the battle of the Alamo and as a result they expanded into the southwest and so were able to claim the technology of the Roswell crash and use it to fight against evil socialist Mexicans and communist New Englanders, and there were also lots of naked women. It was basically what a teenager just exposed to Ayn Rand and Ron Paul would fantasize about, it made Liberality For All and Orson Scott Card's Empire seem like nuanced political satire by comparison. It was just embarrassing. That out of the way - so would those of you who read it recommend Knight Errant? I liked the KOTOR comic for most of its run, but I really thought for a long stretch in the middle it was kind of meandering and plotless. And since from what I hear, the plot of Knight Errant is basically similar in structure to the middle of KOTOR (a single wandering Jedi on the run doing good deeds with smuggler friends while running from Dark Jedi during a war) it makes me a bit nervous.

Also when he gets fixated on what a great idea it would be if twelve year old girls seduced their fathers.
