According to interviews, they wanted to kill a main character to show that this was a story with real stakes where anyone could die. They originally wanted to take out Luke, but Lucas nixed it. The droids were also off-limits, since Lucas intended them to be the ones who told the Star Wars story to the Whills 100 years after the movies. Apparently Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley came up with the idea of "killing the family dog" as a way to keep the more important human characters alive.

Yeah, there's definitely a "senate affect" that people deliberately put on - there were some cut lines about Jar Jar having to learn "diplodialect" in Attack of the Clones, and the rest of the Senate originally laughed at him when he called them "dellow felegates".

Could people in Star Trek use tranporters to have children? Like say a sludge creature and a fish monster want to conceive - could they just Tom Riker themselves a Tuvix and Rascals it into a baby?

There's also the deleted scene where Biggs goes off on a Libertarian rant about how the Empire's greatest sin is nationalizing commerce and the impending destruction of Uncle Owen's profits.

twistedmentat posted:If anyone can shoot fire from their buttholes, then the bible is meaningless. "Ooh Jesus turned water into wine? I turned water into a dragon and had it eat my bully." This is basically why modern fantasy sucks. The Wizard Hospital in Harry Potter is named after an actual Christian saint, which raises all kinds of questions about what they believe in and why.

Xiahou Dun posted:Brin is on the higher end in terms of quality for genre authors (i.e. not amazing, but if you're used to like Star Wars and Warhammer tie-in books, he'll blow you away) Interestingly, Brin actually wrote a Star Wars book... kind of. He was one of the editors of Star Wars on Trial, and a bunch of his issues with the franchise as a whole came back big time in the Sequels.

They've been promoting the Obi-Wan series by hinting at some big duel between him and Vader between 3 & 4, so maybe Obi-Wan will have a legitimate reason to think Vader's out of the picture until he runs into him again.
