agreed, but it's a catch-22 because you have to be familiar with the EU to really appreciate how hard KOTOR2 is trashing it

Oh is that why KOTOR 2 is so highly regarded? I was in a busy place when it came out and heard mixed things (this was well before the patches) so I never checked it out, but if it's a takedown of the EU I could definitely make time for it now.

The problem is that KOTOR 2 has so much where you need to read between the lines and the gameplay really isn't that good. I honestly think reading the LP might be a better way of appreciating the game: http://lparchive.org/Knights-of-the-Old-Republic-II/ It is still really great as an LP though.

I googled him and apparently he had a solo career for a while and then he opened his own chain of restaurants called Max's Flanth House.

Edit: the canonical original name for the band (before Max Rebo became the front man) was Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers

We're in the business of extending man's senses.
Jizz was an upbeat, swinging genre of music, most notably performed by Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes and the Max Rebo Band. Subgenres of jizz included the styles of jizz-wail, aubade, and glitz. Also, jatz is slightly similar to jizz.

Other notable jizz bands included Bobolo Baker's All-Bith Band, Evar Orbus and His Galactic Jizz-Wailers, Hutt, Figrin D'an II and the New Modal Nodes, and The Sozzenels.

Was this poo poo not in the comic book version? I havent gotten around to the audio books and I don't remember that at all but hear about it a lot. Luuke was in the Thrawn Trilogy?

Anyhow to answer the question I made the mistake of reading Death Star, the whole book is garbage, has a gay sex scene dressed up as a martial arts contest and a character named Teh Roxxor

Weird I could a sworn he was since I never read the comics but I guess not. I probably got it from the essential guide to characters, children of the Jedi and visions of the future since I read all of that poo poo when I was a kid

The Star Wars EU was a weird beast before the prequels were released. It was just a series of novels that continued the story of the characters from the movies, some pretty good Dark Horse comics (Tales of the Jedi was amazing), short story collections that varied wildly in quality, and weird stuff like Droids.

Then the new movies came out, Lucas went all in with the cash grab, and rather then standalone novels and an odd trilogy here or there it was decided to write a 25 book saga about evil anti-force aliens invading from another galaxy and wrecking everything until a magical deus ex machina solves the whole war and coincidentally references are made to stuff from the prequel movies/books.

I was still following the EU pretty seriously and read about 1/2 of the Vong books, then the bugnest orgy book came out and I just gave up entirely. Apparently there was another 20+ book epic shortly after, and now no one is writing any timeline advancing novels in the Star Wars Legacy(c) because they want the new movies to come out and be able to write "canon" books.
