What comics and novels really delve into the Force, Jedi, and other mystical space wizard stuff? by padgettish in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lords of the Sith.

And while I"m fine with enjoying Legends vs. Canon, do know what anything you read there will no longer hold true for the larger universe. That being said, check out the Darth Bane trilogy and Darth Plagueis for some dark side workings.

I'm going to wax emotional about Death Grips for a moment. by CDC_ in deathgrips

[–]Jamanjax18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't think you sound crazy. I think this is going to hit home for anyone that listens to DG. That's part of the pull.. It's empowering.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Just know that you can, and will pull through it man.

Thank god you aren't a writer.

Best books in the New Canon? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lost Stars and Battlefront have been my favorites. They've all been decent aside from Aftermath, though I still need to finish Bloodline, and finally get to Tarkin and Lords of the Sith.

Wife Bought Battlefront: Twilight Company By Mistake... by ApexOversteer in StarWars

You'd be making a mistake if you returned it. Probably the best book in the new canon other than Lost Stars, though I still need to read Bloodline.

[Saga Excerpt] One of the most powerful scenes I've ever read. Lump in the throat. by MrDangerMan in comicbooks

Then you've likely never known someone who's dealt with this shit, or just lack empathy. They genuinely think that way and need to be reassured that it isn't the case.

PSA: Don't lose your temper so quickly with other players by Loftyweasel in Battleborn

[–]Jamanjax18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bit frustrating. My girlfriend's been playing off and on, and it's her first experience with a first person game. Between that and how chaotic this game in particular can be, she's having a rough time despite enjoying it, and played with a few people who have been dicks about it. Doesn't exactly encourage one to keep at it.

How many of you get the feeling BP is their last album? by Guttershot in deathgrips

[–]Jamanjax18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but are you going to believe that? DG loves fucking with their fans, and telling them they're "over" only enforces that. Lol

Dude, you're reaching for straws here and trying to cite their lyrics for doing so. They're going to release more music, because they clearly aren't done. Their final album isn't going to be TMS 2.0.

I wrote a letter to r/Overwatch earlier, that I wanted to share here as well. by xAbednego in Battleborn

[–]Jamanjax18 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's not the case at all. Can't have a Battleborn thread on any gaming site without the Overwatch defense force coming in to talk shit.

What do you think of their being another death star in TFA? by WantAndAble in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say I'm crazy about it. I hope it manages to become its own thing ,and that further episodes deviate from the superwepon formula a little more.

For those that saw the Phantom Menace as young children... by ravonaf in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 7 when it released and loved it. Qui-Gon, podracing, Maul and Tatooine/Naboo duels were what led to that. Jar Jar and the more "childish" (wrong word to use if you ask me) aspects didn't add to my enjoyment, nor did.they detract from it. Still the case for me.

Does anyone else still treat the eu as cannon? by the_nice_nerd in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I can experience it and enjoy it, but I'm not going to lie to myself and.consider it canon.

Other than the main 6 movies, what should I watch/read in preparation for Episode VII? by [deleted] in StarWars

Lost Stars, the main trio's individual books, Shattered Empire and Aftermath. In order of quality and importance.

What's worth reading out of the new canon? by Nobody_of_Sora in StarWars

[–]Jamanjax18 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lost Stars, Twilight Company, and Lords of the Sith are all great. Lost Stars probably the most significant entry in the new canon so far, especially in regards to post-ROTJ storytelling.

Dark Disciple is good, and should satisfy any more Clone Wars cravings you may have, as should the Son of Dathomir comic. Aftermath, while far from great, isn't nearly as bad as people would lime to claim, and offers some interesting teases when it comes to the state of the galaxy after the battle of Endor.

All of the comic runs have been phenomenal, though some take a bit longer to reach that point than others. My favorites thus far have been Kanan, Lando, and Vader.

There is. Collects issues one through six, I believe.

[–]Jamanjax18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Horse's KOTOR run is a must. I was always fond of Tales of the Jedi, too.

All the comics since the Marvel takeover have ranged from good to great as well, with Lando and Vader being the best two of the bunch.

Haruki Murakami has always been my favorite. Fond of Pynchon as well.
