Lol, this one isn't sure. Vader had a pretty good one that Khajiit chuckled at.

Khajiit finds your lack of faith disturbing. What can I say? I've always preferred the Jedi to the Sith. The Sith approach just seems counter-intuitive. Also, poking around online I'm not too keen on the characters that wrote the sections. Sorzus Syn and Darth Bane's sound promising, though I had to go to Wookiepedia to find out who the former was. I've got a book featuring Darth Malgus, and I didn't really think much of him. Talzin and Plagueis are in the wrong era for me really, and Sidious' section might have some interest to it, but he pops up in what might be the dullest period for the Sith. Now, if the book had featured sections by Revan and Malak, or some of the ancient Sith Lords mentioned in KotOR2, I'd be all over it.

Are these books you've been looking at considered canon?

According to this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_LegendsAnything that was part of the EU before Disney took over was declared non-canon and was put under the "Legends" banner. The Bounty Hunter Code was written after that, but also carries the "Legends" banner. I don't know about the Imperial Handbook and the Book of Sith, but I'm guessing they're the same. In fact, poking around on Wookipedia reveals that the Imperial Handbook is definitely in the "Legends" section, and suggests that the Book of Sith is also.

QUOTE(Winter Wolf @ Dec 27 2016, 07:04 PM) Very impressive to be able to put that much scorn into one's voice. She was very talented and will be missed.
And to Peter Cushing no less! Peter Cushing will forever be one of this one's favorite actors. Whether he was Dr. Victor Frankenstein or Wilhuf Tarkin, he was very believable. That Carrie Fisher could walk on the same stage and steal the scene is, as Vader would say, "Impressive. Most impressive.".

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jan 10 2017, 07:08 PM) I think that can be explained with two words: George Lucas. Contrast that with The Clone Wars, where he was not the writer. He had final say over the series, but he was not the one doing the actual writing, or day to day direction or production.
That's a very good point. This one felt literally nothing for Anakin in the prequel films but thinks we should be feeling like his fall was very tragic. He was supposed to be this big Jedi hero whose fatal flaw was that he was afraid to let go of his loved ones, but throughout the PT he doesn't really come off as very heroic. He's brash, and arrogant, which honestly aren't strikes against him, but the incessant moodiness and whining we get from him just makes Khajiit very unsympathetic to his character. The most heartbreaking things about Anakin's fall in the PT were the deaths of the Younglings and Obi Wan's pain when he confronted Anakin on Mustafar, but this one feels nothing for Anakin himself. Just seems like a grave disservice was done to the character of Anakin Skywalker in the PT. When Khajiit saw season 1 of The Clone Wars he thought "Finally! This is the Anakin Skywalker we've been missing all these years!".
