If disney is writing the EU then it's no use
i premise the series of "Space Samurai VS Space Nazi's where everyone is also a Wizard!" has always been bad.
And well... Tim Zahn was a great writer, came up with the whole lore around Thrawn
Timothy Zahn does not let anyone else wrote Thrawn
Anyway I'm trying to find where the list started from but so far I've found this: https://twitter.com/TruthinGov2016/status/942969647774818304
The series wasn't always that though.
Disney turned it toward that.
That's because Zahn is the only one who can properly write Thrawn
TruthInGovt, wtf?
Nah that was the original series, too dude
So many great species just tossed to the wind...
Not just species
Like the Killik
The entire government that Thrawn created
Im not saying it isnt a fun kind of bad
Like come on, the first multispecies empire legion
There's a medium commen on it https://medium.com/@nicholasgrossman/im-familiar-with-a-lot-of-that-abbb5cacaef6
but like... a 6th grader could have premised it
a Marla Hughes allegedly started it
Like an animated version of the Young Jedi Knight books would be hella loads better then the drivel that Rian Johnson pushed outta his anus.
the only thing more toxic that polotics... starwars/star trek debate!
Thank god I don't particularly care about the Star Wars universe
I used to, but all that is retconned so whats the point anymore
@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?
