Maybe I'll reread it, I haven't read any EU book since like 2013 or something

2020-02-07 18:32:34 UTC  

Would probably be pretty refreshing after all the garbage of the last couple of years

2020-02-07 18:34:23 UTC  

Might reread it as well tbh

2020-02-07 18:35:02 UTC  

I don't remember much except that awesome scene where they go to the space illuminatis version of the bohemian Grove

2020-02-07 18:35:02 UTC  

I was actually thinking about reading a few of my favorites one day and searching for right wing ideas

2020-02-07 18:35:45 UTC  

One of the things that I don't think would even be written now is how Grand Admiral Thrawn studies the art of various species, and then does battle with them based on the limitations of their psychology that he learns from their art

2020-02-07 18:35:51 UTC  

Which is an utterly racist idea

2020-02-07 18:35:58 UTC  

Very racist

2020-02-07 18:36:05 UTC  

and I doubt anyone could even write something like that now

2020-02-07 18:36:19 UTC  

Well you can get away with being racist in fantasy and sci fi

2020-02-07 18:36:42 UTC  

People only have a block against human diversity

2020-02-07 18:36:56 UTC  

But animal or aliens or orcs or elves

2020-02-07 18:37:10 UTC  

That's just common sense they would be different

2020-02-07 18:37:26 UTC  

They adapted under different conditions than us DUH

2020-02-07 18:38:02 UTC  

(but people evolved under different conditions on Earth to)

Ha

2020-02-07 18:38:31 UTC  

Oldman bad

2020-02-07 18:42:05 UTC  

The EU was so much better then the current crap

2020-02-07 18:42:16 UTC  

I read so many of the books

2020-02-07 18:43:16 UTC  

ohh

2020-02-07 18:44:31 UTC  

I only really remember the EU from the video games and the two or three Star Wars encyclopedias I had

2020-02-07 18:44:47 UTC  

I always will have a soft spot for the mandoa and the clones

2020-02-07 18:45:27 UTC  

The republican commando book serie is much better then the clone wars TV serie.

2020-02-07 18:45:34 UTC  

Let's be fair though a good 90% of the EU is probably garbage

2020-02-07 18:46:00 UTC  

There's 10% that is really good and then there is The Crystal Star

2020-02-07 18:46:12 UTC  

@Vulpes Never read the books

I’ve heard the author is kind of a jerk in some respects

2020-02-07 18:47:37 UTC  

I mostly liked the first one, I think the Republic Commando books got worse as they went on

2020-02-07 18:47:46 UTC  

Of repubican commando? well don't know about that. What I mainly liked about those books was that it explord the clone troopers in a much more interesting way then the clone wars TV serie and wasn't praising the republic on a constant basis

2020-02-07 18:47:57 UTC  

Also some Star Wars fans aren’t impressed with her writings as she sometimes contradicts established lore to tell her stories iirc

2020-02-07 18:49:23 UTC  

>established lore in the EU
this always was a difficult subject

2020-02-07 18:49:54 UTC  

yeah it's kind of a grey area what is even "correct"

2020-02-07 18:50:04 UTC  

One thing I will always rue Disney for is the erasure of Kyle Katarn though

2020-02-07 18:50:11 UTC  

aye

2020-02-07 18:50:27 UTC  

Also just the Death Star plan plot in general was so much better in the EU

2020-02-07 18:51:01 UTC  

The plans were actually separate parts that spies and agents from different Rebel cells had to obtain and bring together

2020-02-07 18:52:31 UTC  

It’d be kind of dumb for the Empire to contain the plans on a single data disk or whatever, completely assembled and ready to go, which is what happened in Rogue One iirc

2020-02-07 18:53:37 UTC  

Star wars EU had it's major flaws, but imo it produced enought gold to be worth it

2020-02-07 19:41:06 UTC  

Shit, I bought the French gas mask by accident.

2020-02-07 19:45:10 UTC  

It's technically the original in terms of the design and Polish MP5 (the one that I wanted to get) is licensed coppy.
