This is Irek Ismaren. As you can see, he has lightsabers coming out of his elbows, forearms, wrists, and knees. Also he's the child of one of Palpatine's gently caress toys and may or may not be his son. Also he's a cyborg who can control droids via the force because reasons. Also he thinks he's the Literal Boogeyman. I contend that he is the dumbest thing to come out of the Expanded Universe. Are there any contenders to his throne?

Obligatory Bug Orgiesquote:A weight lay across Jaina's chest, and the inside of one ear was being warmed by a soft, pulsing growl. The dormitory air was filled with a comforting melange of refresher soap and body smells from a dozen different species, but the predominant odor, familiar and musky and strongest, was human.

quote:Their homeworld was at first in a different galaxy and was called Yuuzhan'tar, which was destroyed in the Cremlevian War. Some went to a seed that was produced from the ashes of Yuuzhan'Tar which was first seen by people in the Unknown Regions and was called Zonama Sekot. imagine being able to make sense of these two sentences

It’s not the craziest thing out there but to me the worst EU stuff is making it so that Han was telling the truth about the Kessel Run (which made it into canon in Solo) and that Palpatine was telling the truth about Darth Plagueis, when in the movies those were both very obviously meant to be lies

I'd always taken the Kessel run as poor/uninformed writing, rather than lying. Every time I hear anything about the EU I'm shocked at how incredibly stupid it is and amazed that it's as large as it is.

There's nothing in the text or subtext that makes what Han says a lie. With Palpatine, his story of Plagueis was his way of telling Anakin his story (and influence) him without straight up telling him he's a Sith dude. George Lucas is about the most unsubtle screen writer there is. He's not clever enough to pull that stuff off.

Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the other patron look on in bemused amazement. Han gets up and starts out of the cantina, flipping the bartender some coins as he leaves. That's actually really interesting

Isn't therr a point where some Imperial admiral figures out that to defeat a lightsaber with a blaster you just use the stun setting because it shoots a big circle and a Jedi can't block it?

Actually this showed up in Clone Wars and it turns out you can block the things with a saber, so they thought of that at least.

ptkfvk posted:imagine being the hitman that had to take out chewbacca He wasn't told how to kill Chewbacca, so the defiant yowl at the falling moon was all him. That's what he told me at a book signing anyway. So take this with a grain of salt. He was a super nice guy, though. He had no problem chatting with fans for as long as they wanted and matched their energy really well.
