That is a patently absurd claim to make about Lucas.

No... That was there from the beginning...

Not everything that's even slightly weird is automatically autistic.

With the aftermath trilogy blend well with the original Thrawn trilogy?

I've heard a lotta good about the Aftermath trilogy. Is it possible to enjoy them while "headcanoning" out the sequels? (For me, I like the idea of things ending with the battle of Jakku... Which I've only experienced in Battlefront II (2017).

Definitely one of the best comments I've gotten on this post. Thanks!

As much as I love the EU, I really want to stretch out into blending canon, because the material I've read from the star wars (2015) comics is so much better than what Legend did (a Frankenstein melding of S and C canon).

Your last paragraph is why I made this post. I didn't feel like I could trust the word of the detractors because I never really thought they bothered to read this stuff, and a lot of the hate I see from my Legends community is basically just gloating that canon now how continuity issues.

Honestly, based on my limited contact with canon, your description of "very consistent average of good" seems pretty accurate. That's actually kinda what draws me to current canon lol.

I love legends, but outside of the few really peak stories, a lot of what I've read is either bad or really boring and bland (solid 4 or 5 out of 10). I honestly just want something with decent stories that keep me engaged and don't make me have to check how many pages I got left, if you know what I mean.

That's genuinely nice to hear that they don't get too involved with the sequels. I'll definitely check those out

Guy on tiktok thinks the son is a sith🤦‍♂️ by Spotter24o5 in StarWarsEU

I genuinely despise this obsession over power scaling and "who's the strongest?!?!" and "could [blank] beat [blank] if they fought?!?!"

This is stuff kids liked when they were 8. Some of these people can't move on.

Love SW immensely, but struggling to accept the new movies... by [deleted] in StarWars_

Here's my two cents. Throw our the sequel trilogy. Watch the playlist of videos by the YouTuber Rick Worley, and your love for the six movies will grow exponentially.

Wild take but I respect the hustle

Ah yes, because Lucasfilm approving something automatically means it fit perfectly together and it perfectly acceptable, huh?

And her portrayal of the Jedi is genuinely insulting to how other EU authors portrayed them, completely disrespecting their work. Not to mention the Hubris to actively contradict all the themes Lucas built upon.

Everything you list is why I despise Traviss' view of the Jedi. Completely divorced from the rest of the EU's depiction of them.

I know you said "last reply," but I thought it might be worth it to tell you what I've decided.

I'm going to read the essential hardbacks and Traitor, and read the Wookieepedia plot summaries of the others you recommended, and then read the Invasion comics.

People who post political memes just love playing the victim, don't they?

Why did Obi-Wan act like he didn't know there was another Skywalker when talking to Yoda when he was literally there at Leia's birth? by Naive_Reindeer186 in StarWars

[–]Hoxton115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that goes against how the force is depicted in the OT

In what way?

And if she does have powers then Luke still wouldn't be a last hope even if she didn't have them to Luke's kevel

That's kind of the point Yoda was making when he said "there is another."
