Star Wars sucks, and you suck for liking it

Lucas is just an asshole. When he was working on the Last indiana jones movie, he wanted to put aliens in it. Spielberg told him fuck no, no aliens, gtfo. Lucas kept pushing it and Spielberg kept saying no fucking way. So Lucas calls him up and says, "Ok... instead of aliens... How about we have inter-dimensional beings instead?" So spielberg finally said fuck it, and the crystal skull was born!

I try to think of the aliens as representing scientology, which puts "religion" back in the series. Still doesn't make it a good movie though.

I hate sounding like a know it all, but the 3 books with Thrawn in them (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command) are not the "Hand of Thrawn" trilogy. I'm not sure if they actually have a name, hence why everything that came after specifically names itself as "The Dark Jedi Trilogy" or whatever. Hand of Thrawn was a two book "duolgy" (Specter of the Past, Vision of the Future), and were on par with the other three books by Zahn.

The point of this know it all moment is that you should read the first Thrawn books by Zahn, then read the two Hand of Thrawn books. And then, like me, never touch another EU book.

Usually they're just referred to as the Thrawn Trilogy iirc.

Personally, I'd love to see a Battlestar Galactica like series based on the X-wing novels. It'd be a perfect chance to "reboot" the series with fresh actors, since most of the characters are new, and use the show to lead up to the Thrawn Trilogy as 7, 8, and 9. But this is Lucas we're talking about, so it'll never happen.

I wonder how many years must pass after Lucas dies before his estate will allow remakes.

[Xno Kappa]

I hope I'm still around for the remakes. The lulz to be had if it ever happens would be priceless.

I wonder how many years must pass after Lucas dies before his estate will allow remakes.

Probably the moment they are allowed to (will pending).

You're correct, my apology. I did mean the first three Thrawn books.

I've read every EU book up until the huge New Jedi Order series with the Yuuzhan Vong. I stopped after that.

[Delirium]

was debating posting this here or comic thread, but chose here
anyway, my friend has gotten back into comics and really likes star wars. he wants to know what star wars comics are good, but I dont really follow them. Any recommendations?

[BaneTheBrawler]

I don't follow them either, but I've heard Dark Horse has some good Star Wars comics.

[Furionstormrage]

I haven't stayed current, but Dark Empire was a good story. (Dark Horse comics).

New Bloodlines novel officially renames Slave Leia as "The Hutt Slayer." Leia having an English accent is also made canon.

This thread is nearly 4 years old, but I couldn't think of a better place to put this news as it fucks with OT fandom.
