Logain Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 the books are much better than the movies, imho i think that lucas should have gotten one of the book writers to do the story for the movies, since he cant really write for crap. and he's an even worse director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 lucas lost his touch when he started writing the prequals, I'm sorry to say but the vast majority of SW books suck.... There are a few good ones like the ROTS novelization by mattew stover was good. So was Shatterpoint, Labyrinth of Evil, and the Han Solo Trilogy are among the few good ones. Zhan's books are on the lower side of OK. He's a good writer but to bad he was writing EU stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok9120 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 So Beowulf....iyho, who is a good SW writer? Youve just flamed Lucas and the EU writers lol. I thought Zhan's books were pretty good, I would like to see SW as written by David Weber tho.... And as for the EU ppl makin stuff up...you kno how the books all say on/in them somwhere "Approved by George Lucas and Lucasflim"? It has credibility when the people who wrote the universe approve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer_Teron Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Zhans books rocked. The NJO team did pretty good as well, though to many storys were scrapped about halfway through. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok9120 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yea, my only grip with NJO is that there is a new writing style in almost every book bc of all the different writers who wrote them. I still think David Weber+SW=Great book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think lucas really cared about those EU authors he just wanted them to get out his face so he said "sure, sure, now go away." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logain Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 given the fact that theres more books that say that Boba was Jaster Mereel than there is movies saying he's some douchebag clone, i choose the EU stuff as canon, screw the prequals, their just plain wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zer_Teron Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Uh they explained the Jaster Mereel thing in a book. When he was young and had learned everything from the book Jango had given him, he went to Concord Dawn and gave himself the name Jaster Mereel. He became a Journeyman Protector and later killed another Protector. He was stripped of his rank and exiled, then he reberothed the name of Boba Fett and ordered the Slave I to accomplish his Bounty Hunter needs. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 naw, jango stole the slave I from Ovoo IV one of the many things boba inherited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareKato Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 First, katana fleet is a valuable asset. Second, we at LoW will not make it easy to find, mind you. How we'll set it up, that's for us to know, and for you to find out when the mod comes. And third, shut up about the fleet. It's a good way to suddenly tip the balance of the losing side into winning if you somehow come across a fleet of Dreadnaughts in space out of pure luck, or through sleuthing. (More likely it'll be tracking it down, and such). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareKato Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 And fourth. Stop dissing Lucas and Star Wars in general (that includes EU and canon), it gets old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Bob Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 This could make it very interesting when your enemy suddenly comes at you with a large force of Dreadnoughts and you're like "How the hell could they have built those things so fast!"

Mcas1937 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Beowulf, please stop flaming the EU and those who like it, if you don't like it thats fine, but people have a right to like things you don't. So if you don't stop flaming I will report you to the MODs. -Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends. J.R.R.

Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Mcas has a good point people are getting banned for flaming and Spamming. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Dorkthehunter Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Mcas has a good point people are getting banned for flaming and Spamming. The Fleet is not in because Dreadnaughts are not in, Delphi said so, and considering the Fleet is composed of Dreadnaughts...it just leads me to believe it is officially not in the game. Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional.  Some other members and I are trying to be superheroes and save the forums.
