I read a bunch of EU books when I was a kid. Here is what I recall: You can ride Rancors. Jabba's was just a baby. The second Death Star was being controlled by IG-88 - the imperial assassin droid turned bounty hunter. He was about to lead a droid uprising. An Ewok gets genetically enhanced to be an X-Wing pilot. Some kind of talking bird people were enslaved to build the death star and they would do math until their brains exploded. Corellia is inhabited by humans and giant talking marmots. Hutts consider it disgraceful to move under their own power. Bevel Lemelisk (sp) designed the death star and was executed for the design flaw in ANH, but he was cloned. The Emperor keepts killing him and bringing him back. He's like a Weyoun. The Hutts build their own deathstar but they cut so many corners it's nothing but the laser and it doesn't work. Oh and it's mentioned over and over: X-Wings are more maneuverable in atmospheres but TIEs were more maneuverable in space.

There's a book that ends with Leia defeating a Dark jedi Hutt in a lightsaber duel. I remember nothing else.

Everyone remembers The Crystal Star for being tonally as far from Star Wars as possible

Space Kablooey posted:also throw in mando S1 because it's genuinely good (s2 sucks balls, except the first episode) The first three eps of S1 are good. The bounty of the week eps are mediocre. And the last two eps, where it returns to the main plot, are garbo

Phantom menace had a lot of potential but they coulda had more politics and less racist frogmen. Almost came close to an ok sci-fi.

They should make a movie about Kyle Katarn, he's a stone cold badass who makes the other jedi seem like weak little baby-men.

Has there been like a really fat Jedi but they’re still a bad rear end because they do everything with their mind, like just flinging lightsabers around with the force while sitting in a chair.

olives black posted:Anyone remember that really complex Star Wars 4X game that had 3D starship battles, a thick-rear end manual and a thousand different submenus? I'm pretty sure that it was a pos but I think about it sometimes. Wish I could remember the name of it Are you thinking of Star Wars Rebellion? It had a gigantic manual detailing all the franchise ships plus a bunch of others from the expanded universe.

olives black posted:Yeah, that was it! I wonder if it holds up today. I remember the manual being a treat to read. Sort of. It was always janky even at its time but it works today more or less the same way it worked back then. It didn't age like Goldeneye having its textures suddenly going from acceptable to fugly, and there were mods at some point (not sure how active the community is today or if they even exist) that improved the battle graphics. It retained a fanbase because, despite it being a very weird game, its spiritual successors did not really offer anything close to it and diverged a lot. It's also a peak case of the kind of game that if you liked then, odds you'll like it now, because it bombed super hard critically. It sold well because it had the name Star Wars and most SW games of that era were good games for all kinds of consumers but SW:R requires a very specific mindset for someone to enjoy and most people did not.

It deffo strikes me as the sort of game that mainstream critics at the time would have been cranky about because most of them are and continue to be barely sentient unofficial PR shills

Randarkman posted:Episode 1 is actually the only one of the prequels I kind of appreciate on a certain level because it's the only one that had lots of effort put into making it, with sets, locations and non-cgi designs. II and III are just so goddamn lazy, I mean Jesus Christ. Episode I is by far the biggest trainwreck of all of them, but that's partly because II and III don't really try as much so they can't fail as badly at everything. Episode I is also a frighteningly boring movie overall (only II exceeds it in boringness in the series), so I can't watch it anymore, because Jesus Christ is it the boring kind of trainwreck. Still I somehow manage to have a bit more respect for it than the following two, out of appreciation for what went into making it and that they were trying to make a real movie, rather than just finishing up the rest of the prequels on a sound stage with a greenscreen because they had to, because they made money (both on the movie itself and on related toys and video games). Also don't forget Liam Neeson as qui-gon Jinn

a politician gets access to infinite cosmic power, and then rapes the concept of life itself. The result tries to kill him, succeeds, but because he cloned himself he's fine. Proceeds to try and corrupt his granddaughter and kinda-sorta grandson and they both try to kill him too. nothing and nobody outside of this family feud matters.
