Jennifer wrote:Star Wars New Jedi Order books and all expanded universe material set afterwards. It's like new Battlestar Galactica, only with Star Wars. Chewbacca dies, one of Han and Leia's kids dies (for extra dramatic awesomeness, Han was already alienated with said kid BECAUSE CHEWBACCA DIED TO SAVE HIS LIFE. So Chewbacca died saving someone who led a miserable life for a few months and then died, so things could happen in the most horrific, painful, soul-shattering way possible. Han subsequently becomes a depressed alcoholic), another becomes a murderer and sith lord, everyone's alienated and at each other's throats- even Luke and Leia and Han- and Coruscant and the New Republic both bite the big one at the hands of uber death aliens. In the end the Imperial remnant- it's amazing it even stuck around 25 years, that's longer than the empire itself made it- merges with the smashed new republic, corrupts it, and hundreds of years later in Legacy, guess what, the Galactic Empire is still fucking things up. The whole thing takes a big crap on the rest of the Star Wars saga, a complete disgrace to the original trilogy and any significance the end of Return of the Jedi had. It also eliminates any sense of purpose most the EU books filling the space between ROTJ and the NJO had; clearly the feeling in stories like the Jedi Academy Trilogy was that while there were still problems, things were ultimately getting better, it was going somewhere, and the New Republic was important- it was what the whole war was for. But no, things turned out incredibly shitty in the end despite anyone's efforts. What a load of crap.

I be bored because I have played every game, read every book, listened to every album and watched every DVD we have in the house that I would even remotely want to play/read/listen/watch. Lord, being unemployed is dull.

Hehe, check this out people...

Lightningz sent me another failed attempt at a negrep in this topic, criticizing me for going to college.

"Why the hell do ya goto school? Get a fucken job low life."

I really hated T2. Apocalypse movies really bother me, and I can't figure out why because I really love post-apocalypse movies and similar things.

Back to normal conversation. Yes, conversation. It'd be very nice to see a thread devoted to something between IRC chat and forum chat. A thread everyone can just remain in and idle in, and hit refresh every now and then to see what everyone else is saying. That would really liven things up a little. Threads like this very thread are a very powerful force in forums. Lets you know who's really paying attention to things.

So... 05-22-2007 06:11 am shadowboxer2007 you got a shitty face also but no one complains

Sometimes it takes shit like this to remind me of how awesome my life is.

I'm dissapointed you people ignore me. I could always just make another account if the problem is that widespread.

But irregardless, my point is still valid, and you know it 😊

You could make another account, but that will just get you banned.

Also, I fail to see this "point" you keep saying that you've made.

Moocow you smell of dirty socks and moldy grilled cheese sandwiches......what do you have to say about that? Huh stinky?

I got a "all I got to say is fag".

My reputation for my post was even.

Bah, who needs GB? Screw you all, ya donkey-loving scrotum-sucking chicken-chewing dress-wearing hair-braided titty-twisting bottom-munchers. 😃

And I've just remembered that Pineconn_lolz gave me non-rep during his infamous 'Pineconn is...' thread, which means I got rep from him WAY before any of you! Go me! <Does a little dance, Makes a little love, Gets down tonight>

Aww, no Lightning z fortune cookies for me on this thread.

Darth Marsden wrote:Seriously? Sweet. Have you tried The Thrawn Trilogy? First Star Wars books I ever read, and they kicked as much ass now as they did when I first read 'em.

So far, I've read:

The Thrawn Trilogy: Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (see above- I'm thinking of rereading these sometime, incidentally)
The Courtship of Princess Leia (enjoyable but wonky in certain ways. Didn't feel like Star Wars so much as a wacky scifi romance comedy, but I guess it was fun)
Shadows of the Empire (interesting concept, boring execution, terrible writing. Why did 75% of all conversations in the book wind up trailing off while he paraphrased the gist into a couple narrative sentances? I sorta liked it, but it wound up being pretty dull really)
The Jedi Academy Trilogy: Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force (good story material, some neat ideas, progressed the storyline, but the "feel" was still off here. Parts of it were too contrived, felt insubstantial, and the character development could've done a bit better than it did- especially with Kyp Durron in the second book, and for some reason Daala was never interesting like she should've been- she felt like someone who'd twirl a moustache while snickering evilly, if only she had a moustache. Qwi Xux, on the other hand, was surprisingly fascinating to me. However, it was still very interesting material and I have to say I really liked them and consider them good Star Wars canon. They're best if you use your imagination a little bit while reading the book, try to picture it as a movie.)

Not sure what to read next. I'm curious to read some of Timothy Zahn's other Star Wars books (didn't he just release one set between ANH and ESB?); I rather liked his style, he was great at intrigue and subtlety (something the three things I've read since really lacked). My main interest is in the Original Trilogy and New Republic eras, so that's pretty much from A New Hope through, I'd say, Union (but first I want to see how they got there! Hopefully Mara's character development was explained in some books along the way a bit? Maybe those Hand of Thrawn books..) and Survivor's Quest.

I stop short of Vector Prime, the beginning of the NJO... I hate to be closed minded about something I've never experienced, but the factual information of the occurrences in the books is enough to make me want to bash my head into a wall just thinking about it. They just sound bad. Uberdrama has never done it for me.

I'm curious about Dark Empire (the storyline between the Thrawn Trilogy and Jedi Academy books) but really, the concept sounds pretty crappy. Palpatine cloned? Luke goes to the dark side and loses control of his mental faculties? The New Republic has friggin STAR DESTROYERS at it's disposal already? And "someone" in the empire has enough power to launch full-scale attacks of no finesse directly on Coruscant? Did they read the Thrawn Trilogy before writing this? :X But I still want to find it and give it a try. Hard to find trade paperbacks though.

So yeah, I'm sort of a picky Star Wars EU fan. Then again, everything I've read is from the early 90s so far...

And yes, I have a little bit of an action figure collection XD I even hunted up a Thrawn (they made one in 1998) on ebay.

I've only read the first Dark Empire comic book adaptation, but it was still pretty good. Interesting story, great imagery... give it a try. You might be surprised.

Truth be told, I haven't read that many Star Wars novels. The problem is there's so bloody many. The thing with me is if I start one, I'll want to keep going and read more, so if I try a couple and like them, I'm going to want to read the whole freakin' series. And if you're unemployed and broke, that's not a good thing.

Besides, I'm in the middle of the non-Fleming Bond books, so until I finish all of those, nothing doing. 😉

It's outta my hands, darlin 😞

Funny, I was re-reading its latest closure announcement just today.

On a completely unrelated note:

Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley Angels of Anaheim SUCK! Go Oakland A's!

Jennifer, you must have a lot of time on your hands to write those long posts.

I've read almost all the Star Wars Novels via library. I've heavily considered hunting down the Thrawn Trilogy beause I loved that guy so much. His character was kickass. And he's a strategist to boot! Not to mention his skin color is blue (my fav color), not that it makes hims less human in my eyes. :kitty:

The first person to go buy me this house will get a cookie....maybe even two.

I love living in the country but where I'm at right now isn't far enough outside of town. That house comes with 5 acres, barn with 3 stalls for horses. Nice sized riding arena but I prefer the open trails and wow I want it.

I know hon... was just being silly. (hug)

Ya know biggiy... that same property if it was in Oregon would be probably over $1million <sigh>. Homes/land over here is VERY expensive <pout>.

Edit: can a Mod merge my two posts please... and thank you. Sorry y'all.

Oh well. 😞

at least you're making money, right? If it's a good crew, at least it'll be enjoyable (hopefully)

Aside from working with everyone at the local Taco Bell/PH Express, life sucks without the internet.

So, I was at work the other day, playing Mega Man ZX on my DS, and for some reason which I have forgotten, I walked away. I left my DS on the couch, but when I came back shortly thereafter, it was gone. We hunted around for it, my co-worker Dave and I, but couldn't find it. Until we did find it, and it was in the toilet. The games were fine, but the DS itself is not working anymore and it smells like pee, to boot.

The Thrawn Trilogy was the first set of EU books ever written. Timothy Zahn did a superb job, and out of all the EU books I've read, his were always the best. He also wrote a duo entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" (Spectre of the Past, Vision of the Future), which were also very very good. And more recently, he chronicled the beginning of Thrawn's story in the novel "Outbound Flight". I think there might have been one or two others somewhere, but I do not know of them offhand. I own the first five, and if you're lucky, you can probably locate them all in any decently large Barnes and Noble. Even after nearly fifteen years (first one was written in 1993, I think), they're still in print.

Lastly, never, ever teach your parents to play video games. Especially Animal Crossing.

Only you.... lol.

I don't take things out of the toilet to see what they smell like. Call it a personal policy.
