I'm sure I read that when there was going to be a story in the cancelled live action tv show that it would have revealed that Sheev turned evil because a woman dumped him.

It's been reported that that was Lucas' original, Extremely Divorced Guy, idea for Palp's motivation.

Speaking of Lego Star Wars, I’ve been watching a bunch of the fan made builds on youtube and some of them are pretty mind blowing.

Frozen was a pretty good movie. They should put those people in charge of Star Wars. Even if they throw in a musical number or two, it’s better than the junk they’re trying to push on us.

I like the cutaway of the inside, showing that the ship's crew has a place to chill out during long hyperspace jumps.

One of the good things the Old EU did were the designs they invented for the New Republic to replace their OT ships with. Things like the E-Wing and K-Wing would have been great for the ST to steal and use because they recognizably use the same design philosophy as the OT ships but aren't derivative.

Literally the first time I've read anyone anywhere call the K-Wing a great design.

I dunno, minus the weird ball turret and giving it another S-foil thingy (so it looks like an actual K) it could work.

But yeah it's terrible otherwise.

My personal favourite EU designs are

the Nebula Star Destroyer


Its carrier counterpart Endurance




And the Scythe from the Legacy comics

My least favorite part of ST ship design is that all the capital ships have some prominent weapon gimmick instead of duking it out with lots of comparatively small turbolasers, etc. like mile long battleships should.
