So he won't be returning for Season 2

 

[Ishtar]

I feel the same way about the Rebellion's founding and the length of the Galactic Civil War.

In Legends it was over twenty years. Pissed me off for years when canon made it end in one dumb battle.

Since Disney/LFL probably won't say it, I have some unfortunate news to share with anyone who grew up on the SW novels from the 90's:

As confirmed by his son on social media yesterday, notable Expanded Universe author Dave Wolverton, most famous for writing The Courtship of Princess Leia, has lost his battle with cancer and sadly passed away.

​

For those not in the know, Wolverton had plenty of contributions to Star Wars, mostly in junior form like Star Wars Adventure Journal and the first entry in the Jedi Apprentice series, Rising Force, but Courtship of Princess Leia was undoubtedly his biggest contribution.

Why? Because despite some eccentric plotting and odd characterizations, the book was a touchstone entry for the Star Wars universe at large, since it introduced the planet Dathomir, its denizen Witches in all of their amazonian Rancor-riding glory, their brooding Nightsister contemporaries, and the far-flung matriarchal Hapese Consortium. With all of these additions, to say nothing of the introduction of continuity mainstays like Tenniel Djo and Prince Isolder, we wouldn't have had any of the evolving and growing Nightsister lore, and by extension, we wouldn't have had future Hapan characters like Troy Denning's lovable Zel Sisters, or Kevin J. Anderson's resoundingly endearing, stoic and stormy-eyed Hapan Jedi Girl...Tenel Ka Djo.

This marks the fourth major passing of an EU author in the last decade or so, following Ann C. Crispin in 2013 (author of the Han Solo Trilogy), Aaron Allston of X-Wing fame in 2014, and Vonda N. McIntyre (author of the Crystal Star) in 2019.

Rest in peace, Dave. For the fascinating lore and planet full of waifu material you have created, you have the thanks of both me and countless EU fans everywhere.

The Courtship of Princess Leia added some desperately needed (at the time) sexuality and more adult themes in general to the EU. Made rancors more than simply monsters in a successful way that Filonitrash never could. It also felt like Star Wars. Han going to the deep underground cantina to play some big-stakes sabacc with some shady characters. Luke being mystical Jedi man but still wide-eyed farmboy at times. Stronk independent in a good way Leia and Teneniel Djo. Vivid characters displaying vulnerability and real emotions. Gethzerion and Ta'a Chume being nasty bitches. Fantastical settings and situations. RIP Dave Wolverton.

"Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni know what they're doi-"

"oh"

I've never seen Jon do any dark and mysterious characters, only Improved Whedon quipsters fighting inner demons.
As much as I shit on Capeshit, I cannot lie - he makes an acceptable popcorn flick with just the right amount of quips and smarm that the actors natural charisma keeps them from being annoying.
But he cannot do subtle, cannot do mysterious. I mean hell look at how they did Red Skull as the soul stone guardian.

and his support on this Wolfiloni writing fan fic.

The worst part, as you autists have shown, is how EASY it would be to fix this shit. Give lines to Ming Na, she's the mouth piece. Mod Power Rangers are easily explained as bunch of bored yoofs from Coruscant; fuck, have them be hostages Boba rescues. Or you could what NEEDED to be done, and make them actual cyberpunk street scum.
It'd be so easy to make this could. But they can't do it. Spinning gold into shit.

This is the part where some retard with a Darth Vader avatar is supposed to storm the thread and reassure us all that Daddy Dave knows exactly what he's doing.

I'm pretty sure he's too busy using a single self-quote from a fart-huffing windbag as proof that 40K was always subversive liberal propaganda to deal with the dead gay wasteland that is Star Wars.

 

[Ghostse]

Double post but fuck it:
imagine ACTUAL swoop bikers and not rejects from Spy kids. Imagine some real diversity.

You've got a Jawa, the groups mechanic, with modded bike so he can operate it.
Tusken Raider with artificial limbs as the hot-head; crippled in an accident, they opted to reject their people's ways to get cybernetic limbs to reclaim their ability to walk.
Some sort of droid (I'd want an IG-88/IG-11, but flexible). The character that experiences actual discrimination, other gangs won't ride with them because they have a droid.
Twi'lek femme fatale. Former slave, escaped Jabba's palace.
A jacked-as-fuck Duros as the heavy.

Then whoever the fuck you want as the leader. Tough female. Nigger. Tranny. Black female tranny. who cares, the rest of the group is so awesome it doesn't matter.

Fuck, I keep flipping between wanting this series and then remembering Star Wars is dead and gay.

When your show is so bad you have to beg fans to wait for the finale episode to retroactivly make the others watchable.

I wonder what she means by that. Usual PR fluff, or something actually more substantial? The leaks basically say Mando comes to recruit Boba to help take back Mandalore, but I don't know how that puts Boba's show into a new light.

Obviously the finale is going to include a digitally de-aged Han Solo and retcon the Disney Sequel Trilogy proving that #DoomcockWasRight once and for all.

My prediction is explaining Boba's motivations fully, which will totally be justified being in the finale as a reveal and not something we learn early. It's the only thing I could think of them doing that they would justify as putting complaints of the early episodes into a new light.

Edit: I'm being sarcastic btw, it wouldn't justify shit.

It would be yet another iconic moment for the state of this franchise. The OG Mandalorian playing second fiddle to Disney's Donut Steel the same way Luke, Han and Leia died so Rey could be the real hero who ackshuly saved the galaxy from Palpatine.

Oh like he was playing nice to trick everyone? I could see that happening.

Agreed, I always have said the timeline got screwed up with the PT. Anakin should have been 20 years older as Darth Vader (as was shown orifginally in ROTJ). Obi Wan should have discovered him when he was in his 20s and the Clone Wars should have been at least 10 years long, with the Rebellion ongoing for a while before ANH. They compressed everything for no reason at all.

 

[Kup]

And here I thought it was an ego project. Not so much.

Respect for Temuera: Restored

Takes balls to criticize the Mouse in any form, good on him.

Did Disney really change the length of the Galactic Civil War? I thought it was pretty clear just from the opening crawl and dialogue in IV that the rebellion had been going on for some time.

 

[Cactuar King]

I guess I should rephrase slightly, I think it starting officially in about 3 BBY and the Empire fracturing in 4 ABY is the part that's too short a timespan. I agree that in Disney, it ended way too fast and in a stupid as fuck way.

 

[Ishtar]

In legends the empire continued fighting in some capacity at varying levels of intensity until the very end of the war.

There were periods of cold peace, for example 12 ABY to 17 ABY or so. But the war didn’t just magically end after the emperor died. Or even when he died for the third and final time.

 

[HandsomeDan]

The ST could have been a dark and desperate story of the "Empire" refusing to fade away, with the fledgling New Republic fighting not only the Imperial remnant but countless systems wanting the stability and cash flow of the Empire to return. Active rejection of the Jedi by the Galaxy at large would have been interesting to explore. Imagine Leia and the "Resistance" actually being resistance against the newly corrupted "New Republic" with the help of several virtuous old Imperial Fleet Admirals. We could also have Luke create a new Jedi Order of blaster carrying force users (like himself) who were not the out of touch "monks" the Galaxy had come to hate.

...but Im just glad they played it safe and gave us a cheap version of what we already saw...

 

[Midwit]

EU Boba would have fed thermal detonators to those Hutts and turned the wookiee into a rug and banged Fennec on it.

EU Boba thinks that sex before marraige is immoral.

Mod Power Rangers are easily explained as bunch of bored yoofs from Coruscant

I like the concept but I think they just shouldn't be in the show full stop in favor of Boba actually being a crimelord doing illegal shit to make mad cash because as it stands he's less that and moreso the count of Mos Espa, which could actually be a cool idea if the show actually tried to do something with it other than making his incredibly vague position a vehicle by which to shove shitty action sequences into the audience's face. I also cannot wait for the episode tomorrow.

 

[Ishtar]

EU Boba thinks that sex before marriage is immoral.

Interesting note on that, in the Dark Nest trilogy-ben discovers that Jacen and Tenel Ka had a kid out of wedlock, and he thinks they'll be in trouble for it.

I wouldn't say that was the era (book released in 2005 and Denning is not a particularly puritan man) but it's an interesting setting values dissonance. The SW galaxy is just generally less libertine than RL.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

I'm getting a lot of "this is how she can still win!" cope from these articles.

EU Fett was a smart man, cool enough to flirt with alien whores but wise enough to keep it holstered.
