More Star Wars games coming up reminds me that
WE NEED A SEQUEL TO THIS
That is one of my favorite Star Wars games. With the new Battlefront on the horizon, Republic Commando’s sequel is a wish that will probably never come true.
I bet you it’s the same fans that hated Disney for getting rid of the EU.
I love that meme so much.
Why I do have a strong dislike for Disney making the expanded universe non-canon I’m just happy that they were able to incorporate something in TFA.
Fully aware why they decided on making EU non-canon, but still sucks though…Kyle Katarn :’(
Problems the Disney writers saw is there so many contradictions not just how each writer and their own head cannon interpret the Star Wars Universe, but the events contradict each other as well.
Sadly most of the EU Star wars books is glorified fan-fiction, there was never an attempt to make a universe-wide series bible to set straight how things are and interpreted
It’s not like those books suddenly don’t exist anyway, I read the Timothy Zahn books again earlier this year.
True.
And new books are still being published.
Luke does look scared of her…
What about the Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi, and the Crucible?
Including some with Zahn writing them.
Zahn is one of the few writers I actually like for SW EU.
He one of the few SW writers that ask Lucas Film questions before he starts.
He will look though production notes and script re-wrights to get a feel for the universe he is writing in.
On the flip side, it means stuff written by Karen Traviss is no longer canon.
Anakin is more gifted at a much younger age. Rey is more gifted and a faster learner than Luke, fans just gonna deal with it.
BRILLIANT
So, the new anthology novel, “From a Certain Point of View” is out and it reveals some interesting details.
Spoiler
There’s about 1 hour between the end of Rogue One and Episode IV. More importantly, it reveals why the ship was docked there in the first place - it was under repair when they decided to sortie to Scarif. Also, the plan was to get to Tatooine and then scuttle the ship and find transport there, and they were only minutes from doing so when the Devastator arrived.
Mon Mothma had left Yavin IV before the Death Star arrived and was planning to dissolve the Alliance if the moon was destroyed. Her plan was to appear before the Senate, and surrender in the wake of the moon’s destruction, hoping that it would inspire a stronger rebellion.
R2 is an asshole. He basically convinces the R5 unit, who’s already in disrepair due to Jawa maintenance to almost kill itself so that R2 ends up being bought by the Skywalkers.
Qui-Gon’s Force Ghost has been visiting Obi-Wan for about ten years or so by the start of Episode IV. He can also see the future and knows that Obi-Wan’s going to die in his fight with Vader.
Speaking of Obi-Wan, it seems he can’t bear to speak Anakin’s name without getting emotional and tearing up. It’s part of the reason he considers him dead.
Greedo hates Han because he had a thing for some girl named Uncelta, but she got together with Han instead. And then Han proceeded to break her heart, proceeding to piss off Greedo even more.
The owner of the Mos Eisley cantina hates droids because of a bad experience with the Separatists during the Clone Wars. At the same time, he respects Jedi (since they rescued him from said Separatists) which is why he never tells on Obi-Wan after he cuts off that dudes arm.
Boba Fett believes his own hype and is kinda full of himself. Also, the reason Vader has to remind him about “no disintegrations”, is that he once disintegrated a bounty and still tried to collect on it.
The Holiday Special is canon - specifically the bit with Bea Arthur in the cantina.
Yoda wanted to train Leia, not Luke.
Yoda be like: “Pussy I need. Let out some stress I have to!”
that’s some bullshit about R5. R5-D4 is a jedi. r2 can eat a dick.
Good old Skippy, Skippy the Jedi Droid was not canon even before the Disney buyout.
