Here's the place to discuss anything to do with the Star Wars phenomenon...Whether it's the films, tv, books or even the soundtrack record... ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------- As all Star Wars discussions always end up as a heated debate...I thought a couple of rules may be in order...Well, I say rules, I mean polite guidelines really... 1. No Blasters!!... 2. No Droids!! (Bots  )... 3. The person posting above or below you has as much right to their opinion - and their own love of whichever part of Star Wars - as you do...Be respectful of that... 4. Pointless slagging off is discouraged...If you don't like something, fine, that's to be expected...But please try to qualify your not liking with a half-decent reason...Answers like "Because he/she/they suck/It sucks" or that something is completely pointless because it is...Are not really decent reasons... 5. Remember that joy you had the first time you watched some Star Wars thing?...Just remember that there's a generational thing going on here...I remember when the original one came out and loved it...My kids love the newer trilogy...Others love the Clone Wars cartoons...There will be people joining at some point that will have fallen in love the new J.J. Abrams ones, them being the first ones they see... It's all about being respectful is all...  ... Ta... ----------------------------------------------------------- As you were...I think we were debating the changing of the EU by Disney...  ...

In reverse order... DE...I was actually very interested in the idea of a Darth Plagueis novel...And had it not been James Luceno, then I'd have had it... Sadly, James Luceno and "Damn You" Denning are pretty much on the same level of "Not worth spitting on..." in terms of quality...  ...Shame really...I actually gave up on the Millenium Falcon novel Luceno did...I really did try, just for the Falcon's sake...  ... Thorny!!!...My video player died and there was just no point buying another one...I could buy the versions with the Theatrical Release on...But that's more money again, and I'm so not that arsed really... Whether that makes me less of a fan or not...I no know!...*Shrug*...  ... I'm doing this last Allston, X-Wing novel - Mercy Kill - meself... I envy you your time, sir!!...  ...

Well, I never read Darth Plagueis, though as far as James Luceno goes, I don't think he did too bad a job with Labyrinth of Evil and Dark Lord, they were pretty good books. I think they're the only books of his that I've read though.

I'd forgotten how much I loved Allston's books...I mean, yeah, you ask me who's my fave SW author - Allston...Straight off...But reading Mercy Kill reminds me why... I may have to buy the previous sequence that he did with "Damn You"...And, just like I did with the first one...Not buy the ending novel... I just couldn't... But, Allston rocks, so bad...  ... RIGHT!!!... INFORMAL POLL TIME!!!!... FAVE STAR WARS CHARACTERS?!!!!... Go*Points*...Give reasons why, if you want...But it's not necessary...  ... Just, who's yer Wars-y-boy/girl thang?...

Favourite Star Wars characters? I'll avoid the characters from the films, just because they're the obvious choices: Revan, pre TOR that is. Just for being epic, while still retaining depth of character. Kreia, from KotOR2: the grayest character ever in Star Wars, but saying anymore would be a KotOR 2 spoiler. Corran Horn/ Kieran Halcyon: Fighter pilot, detective, Jedi, and he even set Luke straight on a couple of points in I, Jedi. Darth Bane, for utter badassery and clarity of vision. He might have been Sith, but he was THE Sith. And of course: Grand Admiral Thrawn. Just for being Grand Admiral Thrawn. Because no more reason is needed  Edit: *Facepalms, with planet shattering force* I can't believe I forgot Kal Skirata and Bardan Jusik This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: May 22 2014, 10:52 PM

Yeah, that really was a shame, the characters were bloody brilliant  Anyway, where're your favourite Star Wars characters? You've yet to list any...

Well, I was hoping to encourage others to join in the discussion, rather than take it all up ourselves...Y'know?...  ... Once I think about it properly, I'll let you know...  ... Likely to be Corran Horn and Wedge Antilles at the top though...  ...
