Thanks frimmel, I will see if I can locate them to check out. 8-)
Those books really establish the whole Extended Universe of Star Wars and pretty much any of the novels set after Ep. VI with Luke and company is established with those books. I know my local library has them and they are usually still available in the ‘Star Wars’ section of Walden’s and so on.
Frankly I think that whole section of those stores really owes its existence to the Zahn Books.
Careful with the Amazon link, the blurbs have spoilerish info.

I actually have a whole lot of Star Wars Novels which I bought on e-bay in a bundle and I have read around half of them so far, mostly the early ones before EP1, and have read only a couple of the newer ones as of yet. I checked and I have some of the Zahn books already, but have not yet read them. I will get to it and check them out. Thanks again.
I know is old topic. Friend send me link with Star Wars Episode 1 told in 5 minutes.
Lucas can only wipe out the memory of eps 1-3 by by producing what he always should have done - 3 sequals in which Luke is corrupted by the force and becomes the new Emperor.
This mirrors the corruption of the American Republic as it succumbs to the dominant influence of Freemasonry and becomes just as much of an Empire as the nation from whom it (or at least it’s controlling minority) chose to split.
Look, all I know is I wanted to kill Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars Galaxies.
I could care less about physics, etc. Make the story quality and even minor things like lightsabers being in one vs two hands and flipping instead of leaning around becomes hardly noticeable. After all, if yer clinging to the edge of your seat, waiting on baited breath to find out of the hero/heroine is going to survive, are you really taking note of if they are fighting in the same “style” as the other movies?

I don’t think that’s what happens post-initial trilogy as far as the supplementary books goes. I thought those were canonical as well, but I could be wrong.

:lol: Freemasons? Funny stuff. But you are right…The American Empire is real. It’s been less about military conquest (although is still there) and more about economic subjugation.
Remember that the British presence in India was a commercial enterprise by an independent company to start with; it’s only after the Mutiny that direct government control was established.
Most Imperial enterprises begin as “Protectorates” under puppet governments.
Jar Jar Binks, wish the droid army would have finished the job.
In The Force Unleashed videogame one level has you going after an Imperial Officer who is a hunter. His trophy room has a Gungan (Jar-Jar?) encased in carbonite on his wall.
Come on now, everybody loves Jar-Jar! :-D
Remember he proposed to the Senate to give the Supreme Chancelor emergency powers. Palpatine needed his puppet to get the ball rolling. :lol:
He should have been eaten by the Goober fish in EP1.
Actually it is funny in EP1 when Obewan is talking to Jar-Jar and he is looking at the top of his head instead of his face. Acting in front of a blue screen can be fun at times.
The uproar over JJ after EP1 was so huge that GL had to rewrite EP2 and 3 to remove a lot of scenes with him.
I actually really like Flashman’s idea about Luke become the new Emperor, that woudl be a good twist. :evil:
Jar Jar didn’t really bother me. I didn’t understand all the hub bub around him. He was comedic relief and wasn’t far off from C-3PO, Ewoks, etc. and probably could be seen as an amalgamation of all of them. Besides, I figured in the entire Star Wars GALAXY, there had to be an annoying alien species out there…
My biggest problem is the leap of faith it takes to believe that humans can breathe normally on all planets. Speaking of planets, how could they fight on Mustafar without getting, er, a little singed?
Second place would be the lack of language barriers. I guess English is the language of the entire Universe.
Who is your favorite Sith? I like Count Dukoo.
Axis and Allies - Star Wars edition!
Battle of Endor! See an army of 3 ft Teddy Bears armed with sticks and stones defeat an entire corps of crack Imperial Stormtroopers and killer droids for 1 casualty!
The only thing that I took issue with regarding Episodes I, II, and III is that they were crappy movies not in keeping with the feel of IV, V, and VI.
exactly my feelings as well.
@ABWorsham:

In the movies I would have to agree that Dukoo is the coolest Sith, but in the books I would have to say Darth Bane is my favorite because he was the master of deception. :evil:

I metioned before that an Axis and Allies post apocalyse would be cool, Star Wars version could be cool if done correctly. 8-)
I always thought that the Ewoks beating the Stormtroopers in EP3 was ridiculous, but it is good for a laugh.
EP3 is still a good movie because of the beginning at Jaba’s palace, and because of the final show down between Luke and Vader (and the Emperor) at the end. :-)

Maul, by far. I don’t know enough about the expanded universe to say anyone else.

Those Stormtroopers were terrible shots to begin with, so it’s only natural for them to succumb to a smaller target.
I have found, in general (ok, in regards to Risk) that the movie variations of the games really, REALLY suck!
I don’t know, I think it’s really the zones/territories on the map, not really the rules, etc. I mean SW: Risk was like a ball….vs real Risk being continents. It’s got more strategy involved in real risk was my impression.
If they did a SW Axis and Allies, I would highly recommend making a map of 5 or 6 planets (maybe 7 planets, odd numbers seem to look more natural to me) with multiple zones and connecting lines so that armies could walk between certain planets. (maybe make it a space bridge or something. You know, like Risk where you can get from Asia to North America if you have the connecting points.)

I don’t think I like the idea of a spacebridge. I think that transports are a must to get from one place to another. Maybe you could develop a tech for making a spacebridge if you occupy two adjacent worlds.
