Wraith squadron was dope Phanon or whatever his name was dying slowly while Face tried to save him, a super star destroyer orbiting overhead as face pulls a broken speeder along. poo poo was emotional as hell to 12 year old me.

The young Jedi books were such utter trash and I read them all anyway. There’s a moment where a bunch of students band together to force push Star destroyers away from Yavin and a force sensitive clone from a race of identical clones gets cooked by force magic energy.

The Prince dude from dark forces has sexy pheromones that make everyone want to bone him, despite him looking like Voldemort. He also has a sexy robot servant lady who is also a ninja assassin I think. Dark forces writer was a horn dog I guess.

Perhaps because I experienced Clone Wars after the fact I didn't realize it went on a number of weeks. It gets the weird reverence because of Tartakovsky animation and the breath of fresh air it was compared to the prequels (it was very night and day, especially in 2005). It's not a coincidence that the Clone Wars TV show has also come to be well-regarded, but struggled from its association with the prequels and its own piece of poo poo kickoff movie.

We need some more facts, here's a post about  . Here's an energy spider. They live in the spice mines of Kessel where they capture light-creatures called bogeys in webs made of glitterstim to suck out all their delicious energy. That glitterstim would then be mined by slaves to create the most expensive form of spice that allegedly boosted people's telepathic abilities while also making them trip balls.  This here's a giant Firaxan shark that lives in the depths of the ocean on the planet Manaan. It looks just like all the smaller Firaxan sharks that live near it, but it's actually the progenitor of all life on the planet and the god of the Selkath, the sentient species that live on Manaan (and possibly the result of ancient alien experiments). It can drive the Selkath into a mindless rage to protect it, and it secretes a weird healing goo called Kolto that can be harvested up on the surface to be a great medical drug that somehow relies on the progenitor because it goes inert if you kill the giant firaxan shark. Whether or not the progenitor is dead, kolto is later surpassed by bacta.  But if you can't find yourself some giant beast that squirts out drugs, well maybe you can be like this guy. Arconan's eyes are supposed to be green, but the bulk of the species has become addicted to a substance that turns their eyes yellow as well as being a highly addictive hallucinogen. There are strict restrictions on their home planet, but offworld it's nearly impossible to not fall into addiction, because the drug that acts so strongly upon them is common throughout the galaxy as table salt. They also need to take ammonia supplements.

Front page of Wookieepedia: quote:Cypher Bos was a notorious Nalrithian bounty hunter active during the Galactic Civil War. He worked predominantly for the Galactic Empire, but also for Jabba Desilijic Tiure, building up a reputation as a violent and capable hunter. Science fact: hatching from the same egg gives you a telepathic link.

The new Jedi went to investigate and because of force powers and telepathic bugs they would up becoming part of the bug hive mind and having a big giant Jedi and bug orgy including Jaina Solo, Chewbacca's Nephew, a Bad Boy Former Sith Who Is Also Jaina's Sometimes-Boyfriend, and Corran Horn's Kids (I think).

One of the hardline imperials tries to kill Luke by putting parasite eggs in his food during some dinner.

luke wanted to bone a ghost who lived in a computer, who was also into him. then she got a body but didn't want to bone luke anymore because a different author was writing that book, so she disappeared from star wars forever. or so i thought until i looked at wookieepedia, which taught me that actually her soul was devoured by a dark side monster offscreen

silvergoose posted:I didn't really like Mercy Kill. Too depressing. I feel like if you averaged it all together, I managed to read the entire 9-book X-Wing series once a year, every year, throughout high school. Yet despite it sitting on my shelf for multiple years now, I still haven't read Mercy Kill. I might not ever. I think it might have something to do with how it takes place super-rear end late in the old EU timeline, which I had always heard was some incredibly garbage-tier poo poo. Also because being the last book in the old continuity hangs a cloud over it. Which is a shame, because Allston's other X-Wing books were the best ones. Anyway, here's an Old EU thing: at one point, the Old Republic decided it would be a good idea to build a fleet of like 200 warships, except that 199 of them were basically drones that would be controlled from the 1 crewed flagship. Except that right before the fleet was gonna be launched, the crew of the flagship either went insane or the ship's computer was infected by a computer virus and the whole fleet jumped into hyperspace on random coordinates, and nobody ever saw the fleet again. And it became a galaxy-wide urban legend about where the fleet- called the, no poo poo, Katana fleet- had ended up, or if it had even existed in the first place. Like, it was some straight-up RPG quest hook poo poo that your cousin/uncle/stoner friend knew a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy's cousin that has some vital and just-discovered clue about where the fabled Katana fleet might be.

At some point in Phantom Menace we see some guy in the background for like 2 seconds. And then someone decided Mr. Yellow Stripe over on the left was secretly a Jedi Master who saw Qui-Gon but decided he didn't want to be bothered, and then he got a comic series with dozens of issues as he ran around doing stuff during the Clone Wars. Also I think he got enslaved with his Padawan Aayla Secura but he escaped while she got to be a slave for who knows how long because man these writers know the attractive women with rainbow skin need to be demeaned as much as possible. And of course he didn't get killed during Order 66 because he was TOO DARN SPECIAL so instead he buggered off and never got involved with galactic events again. Yes there are dozens upon dozens of brief background characters who all got 20 page backstories, half the time making them play A SECRET IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE MAIN PLOT, but he's the first that came to mind.

Also Star Wars: Armada got a new gunnery officer added to their upgrade cards. This is in the age of Disney Cannon, so they don't just add anyone anymore, you've got to be legit or you don't even get a nod. Who did we get? Gunnery Chief Varnillian. Who the gently caress is that? Wookeepedia posted:Niclara Varnillian was a female Human and Alderaanian who joined the Imperial Navy. She was part of the operations crew that tested the Death Star superlaser on the planet Alderaan. The destruction of her homeworld did not affect her in the least. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, she was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer Pulsar to serve as chief gunnery officer under Commander Dor Reder. Oh, okay, so she's been around and did some stuff. Being an Alderaanian and not caring if your home planet is destroyed is pretty hard core. I wonder what books she popped up in. Pulsar and Battle of Endor make me think she showed up in one of the Cataclysm books or something. Uh... nope. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Adventure_Journal_8 She appeared in a single "article" in an old, old 1995 magazine of a defunct pen and paper RPG that was about dangerous Imperials that you as a GM could have your rebel players hunt down. Welcome back to cannon, Niclara!

Today, I learned that Tarkin was a 100% total badass who was covered in scars from fighting tigers as a kid and constantly fantasized about stripping off and knife-fighting random junior officers. Obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mQVlvRmnEc That Youtube channel is a treasure trove of dumb Star Wars lore.

But if you think about it for a second, there are no “humans” in Star Wars, they’re not the same species as us.

Moon Slayer posted:What. Homo sapiens evolved on Earth, in the Milky Way Galaxy. We have no means of interstellar travel, let alone intergalactic. Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away from here. They don’t have intergalactic travel either. Ergo, the main protagonists and antagonists of the Star Wars saga are not homo sapiens. This is further evidenced by them having weird symbiotic microorganisms that live in their blood and possibly give them magic powers. They are not “human,” in the usual sense of the word.

Val Helmethead posted:Fixed it for you. I liked a lot about Rebels, and it was neat to see all these absurdly deep pulls, but it was kinda disappointing that so much had to be previously established instead of just freely making new things as much as they did in Clone Wars. Last when I read the new comics, they seemed to have a habit of all the new characters obviously being some writer's precious baby that they fought hard to keep in, so there's a bit of a mary sue kinda vibe every time and nobody's just a loser.

I've heard this bit of weird worldbuilding before, and my response is shut the gently caress up. I know it's technically the same shtick as calling English "basic" but it feels so much like huffing your own farts to say humans aren't human and they're some unmentioned other thing.
