@GingaBomber Not retconned. They completely invalidated the old EU
ah thats the word I was looking for
Anything written for the EU prior to Disney's acquisition is non-canon
Thing is, Ive gotten attatched to many characters in the books. So it really sucks that they are gone
Well, if Disney let Zahn recreate Thrawn in the new EU, he'll probably push for Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, etc. as well
I wasnt a fan of the Jedi, nor the Sith, I loved the stories on the common Rebel or Stormtroopers.
Now, after where Episode VIII went, I'm not sure they'll let him do Mara Jade, but the rest are still doable
All the underground seedy stuff was where it was at imo
Timothy Zahn wrote a series on that actually. A group of 5 Stormtroopers who deserted.
and Mara Jade could still be in the series
like Jabba and the shit around that
Yeah, Allegiance
I own all the Zahn books
How was choices of one?
I couldnt find it here.
It's a short story, I have an edition of one of his other books (Outbound Flight maybe? can't remember) that has it
How short is short?
Also, which book was it when they all had to serve under Thrawn in the end?
😮
Why do you keep posting that emoji dude
thank goodness but google had to go and make it possible anyway...
😮
@GingaBomber Let's see... short is "about one standard Timothy Zahn chapter" or slightly longer
The pain I felt in my soul when I learned that the kids were wiped clean... I grew up with those stories... Read them day in day out. That wasn't the Luke I knew. That wasn't the Leia, the Han... You name it... It sucked... And it just.... it just feels so hollow compared to the old eu...
Like it's missing it's soul.
Theres also the Wraith Squadron series
@GingaBomber And if I recall correctly, Allegiance is the book where they all server under Thrawn in the end, discounting the new Thrawn book written for the new EU
Hmm I guess I forgot that part then, cause I did read Allegiance, but that was ages ago
It's been a few years since I last read any of the old-EU books he wrote, I should re-read them
Well, I do remember it fondly however
I have yet to find a Timothy Zahn book I didn't like, even outside the SW EU books
Actually, more like my memories of it are really positive
So really sad that that entire history is gone now
Then I check out MTG stuff and what do I see? Shitty misprinted cards and pedophiles for judges. Marvel? Grats, Iceman's gay and the new Ironman turned into a ruthless dictator of a small country... like wtf... why does the left move into these things... and ruin them?
Fuck if they fuck with games, Ill ... well cant really do anything can I?
That's already came and gone, unless you don't remember gamer gate...
Games are still okay. So far they only stuck with the journalism and the events.
gaming is permanently plagued wit hthose types dude
And well, some larger games as well actually...
The indie game devs are all those types and everything is marketed towards them
