Star Wars Expanded Universe Fans/Cultists - I HOPE YOU LIKE STAR WARS AUTISM

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
From an outsiders perspective, I can understand why the fans would be disappointed at Disney throwing out the expanded universe. They got attached to characters, concepts, and ideas. However, Star Wars is not their intellectual property and they are free to continue exploring the EU in fanfiction which is what it is. They probably should think of it as an alternate universe.

Even if Disney did have the movie canon with the EU chances are these people are never going to be happy because Disney forgot a certain detail. I can understand this as there are things from the Harry Potter movies that bug me (and I am a huge HP fan) because they are not consistent with the books. However, I just followed the mst3k mantra because the HP franchise is intended to just be entertainment. That and stories are but a set of ideas with a narrative structure and ideas are meant to be played with :cool:
I got the popcorn ready for the shitstorm coming up once the movies are released.:popcorn:

On another note, are they still going to publish EU books or is that done with?

You can blame that one on Traviss too. She shows up, destroys Jacen's fleet with her flotilla of obsolete ships despite the fact that she's an incompetent mess of a commander, has tea with Boba Fett, who she's all buddy-buddy with for some reason, they bash the Jedi some more and everyone, including Pellaeon talks about how awesome she is. They kind of realised in the sequel series how dumb an idea it was, and had Han mention that the only reason he supported her was because he'd gone temporarily insane with grief.

I also am amused at how Traviss used her Mando orgy to kill off Sal-Solo in LOTF Bloodlines.

And yes guys...that is Han Solo in Mandalorian armor teaming up with Boba Fett. Age was obviously not kind to him.

There is going to be new novels and comics, but they're going to be following Disney's new timeline now. The old EU timeline is done.

Wow, that seems retarded. I never, personally, understood the fascination with Boba Fett, and it always kinda bugged me how the not-Zahn authors always treated Pellaeon...hell, all the Zahn-created characters. Mara Jade was unrecognizable in some of the books she appeared in outside of the Thrawn book.

I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to the legends timeline at some point and release some new books - probably not until the new trilogy has died down. Wouldn't want to confuse people or take the limelight away from the new universe and the new books. I mean, hell, they're still publishing post-Nemesis ("Prime universe") Star Trek books.

It's like it's physically impossible for her to not force Fett into the plot, even when it has absolutely nothing to do with him. The LOTF had a shitty plot begin with, but Fett's presence made it worse because the plot would stop dead whenever he was around so we could get some unnecessary exposition on Mandalorian culture, or more of Traviss wanking over how great and overpowered the Mandos were, or the stupid sub-plot of him looking for his carbonite frozen wife.
 
Old republic mandos where so much better then the shit Traviss put out. If she had that meltdown on the offical site now, I'd be making a lolcow thread about her.

Also remeber that time palaptine kept fucking coming back. It was cool the first time but became old trick the next two times.

If anyone goes on about the Mandalorians, just remind them that Chewbacca's masturbating grandfather is now more cannon than their fanwank.

And this is as someone who always had the Canderous-HK47 tagteam in KOTOR.

Holy fuck, shit.
SHIT.
Now talk about bullshit.

Funny that Starkiller is more stronger than Vader and equally as powerful as Palpatine.

Starkiller had trained since he was a child to be a highly lethal assassin, his caretaker droid was programmed with the ultimate objective to kill him. Vader's power was severely limited due to the fact that he was a cripple with 70% of his body burned to a fine crisp. It was still some some fanfiction like crap, but I still liked the game.

Boba Fett is turned into a glorified Mary Sue in the Expanded Universe and I have gotten into multiple fights with butthurt fanboys of his when I say I think it's fucking retarded that Boba Fett bested Darth Vader in combat.

Because it fucking is.

Boba Fett fell in a desert vagina and died like a bitch.

So uh, I guess the Boba Fett fanboys who love the EU come off as super autistic to me, and I get much joy out of rustling their jimmies.

I defeated Boba Fett like a bitch when I was 6 with an assault cannon.

Also, Dark Forces canon is the only EU canon that matters. Kyle Katarn is love, Kyle Katarn is life.

I've only ever read the EU stuff set before the movies, so I don't really give a shit.

The EU is dubiously canon anyway. I like to think of it as different timelines: the Disney one, and the published fanfiction one.
 
I have mixed feelings on the EU. On one hand, works of concentrated amazing like Dark Forces and fucking TIE Fighter, and the fuck-awesome Dark Empire saga. On the other, the entire Ssi-Ruuk arc and similar faggotry. Most of it's hit or miss, with the good stuff being amazing and the bad stuff making me want to punch people. It's really quite analogous to WH40K's Black Library, where you have the good (Dan Abnett) and the utter shit (CS Goto).

Even the stuff that's decent fucking can pinball. The CGI Clone Wars series pinballs between obnoxiously awful fail and some surprisingly well-done episodes with some pretty amazing ideas put to paper. I'm not quite so bummed out about them ripping out all the EU stuff, but I do wonder what the hell they intend to do with characters whose EU stuff was loaded with establishing crap if they intend to use them in the new movies.

Also Boba Fett is shit-tier Mandalorian. He began his career in the Star Wars Christmas Special, solidifying his role as the worst Mandalorian in history. Pre Vizsla was more of a badass than Boba Fett ever was, and he got BTFO by Darth Maul. Fett has no excuse.

See, the reason I like pre-movies EU stuff is because it adds some backstory to the universe that I think fleshes it out pretty well. Also there's very little Mandalorian sperging so that's a plus.

To be honest, the post-movie stuff is a total mess and I'm somewhat glad that Disney is purging it. Sure we lose some good stuff, but we also lose some really shitty stuff too.
 
I've never personally read any of the EU novels, but my sister used to. She told me about one particular author, Troy Denning, who, according to her, had a bizarre bug-fetish and included bug sex in his novels. TV Tropes seems to corroborate:

From what I've heard, Denning's a pretty terrible author. The one redeeming feature he has is that he didn't cater to Traviss' pet characters and wrote them as getting their asses kicked by the Jedi and Sith.

Denning also has a torture porn fetish. Quite a number of his Star Wars novels feature torture scenes that go on for way too long.
