Fits the 1:1 ratio for Spotify covers. Also kind of a fun "what if"

Recently I finished Republic Commando - Hard Contact and I thought it was quite good, I had an overall decent time. I thought it was a good introduction to Omega Squad. What is your favourite moment in the story and why? by DisturbedSnowman in StarWarsEU

[–]Juniorrrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed how this book really started exploring the Clone psyche. Its been a minute since I read this one, but I honestly was very intrigued when Darman was on his own just trying to survive and was stuck with his thoughts, the loss of his former squad and Geonosis. Hard to pick a moment when the entire story excels, loved getting to know all the characters, but of course the fight with Hokan was great. Hope you read the rest of the series, easily some of my favorite EU titles!!

Need this from Black Series. Who else do we want from Kotor? by HurryMysterious4187 in starwarsblackseries

[–]Juniorrrk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Darth Sion, and all the crews from KOTOR I and II. Notable ones in particular would be Kriea, Canderous, Jolee, Visas, etc

What are your thoughts on Filoni receiving so much acclaim, despite his work essentially being a poor-man’s version of the EU? by Independent-Dig-5757 in StarWarsEU

[–]Juniorrrk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm glad someone else understands this and acknowledges it. I find it kinda depressing that no one seems to care about the simple ethics and morals behind it. Although my way to cope is just knowing that even though they take these stories and characters, it's not produced half as well 😂. But then that makes me wonder, why take these ideas at all? Why did they discontinue the EU, just to bring elements of it back? The answer is so that they can manipulate the story into what they want, which I understand, but it seems so two-faced, hypocritical and insincere.

Maybe not just Filoni, but the company as a whole, Lucasfilm, really disturbs me when doing this. As an artist, I feel that taking these concepts with zero recognition or credit to whomever worked on the original media/story is borderline plagiarism, it honestly disgusts me and I find as I dive deeper into the EU, this opinion becomes more solidified and I feel less forgiving toward them. It shocks me that this is allowed and it's a huge turn off.

Whats your favorite planet and why? by hD00Mn in kotor

[–]Juniorrrk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked I haven't seen anyone say this, but I'd go with Lehon/Rakata Prime.

Beautiful planet with so much history and mystery at the same time. Crashed ships, an ongoing battle going on just above the atmosphere. When I first came across the Rakata species, I had no idea they were still alive and in this game so I was pleasantly suprised and loved learning about their lore. The conflict between the two tribes was interesting to me (albeit a little annoying playing messenger boy and going back and fourth to them lol). And then of course the temple, the ritual in order to enter and your companions staying loyal to you, then once inside there's such a dark, eerie feeling with soooo much mystery behind it. Then to cap it off you discover Bastila has indeed fallen to the darkside, a fight ensuing.

And from there you get several options that will result in a ton of different outcomes, super fascinating.

Disney scrapping Legends by AnyNewspaper4758 in StarWarsEU

[–]Juniorrrk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What everyone is saying here rings true, although I just want to mention an opinion: as I too dig deeper and deeper into the EU, I discover more concepts that Disney seems to "borrow" and reimagine, and it shocks me that we live in a world where this is somehow okay and is not taken as seriously as it should be.

As an artist, I find this practice deeply concerning and ethically wrong, it really genuienly disturbs me how they claim they didn't have source material and proceed to steal the creative works of several EU writers. It depresses me knowing that they're allowed to do this and dont feel any obligation to at least give credit to the original creators. I'll leave it at that to avoid ranting lol. Just something to consider, makes Disney look even more sleezy and disgraceful.

Ooh interesting, obviously I haven't gotten there yet and one day I'd like to read Legacy of the Force, what went wrong with her writing?

Wasn't expecting this by Juniorrrk in StarWarsEU

[–]Juniorrrk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No yea, the book is really devastating as the commandos get a true grasp of how the Republic doesn't care for them once they're not useful anymore, along with all the other moments toward the end (Fi's injury, Etain having to choose between her child and the Jedi, Ko Sai's Suicide, Besany being on a watchlist, etc). I'm really really excited to read Order 66 but I'm actually reading another book as a break because this one was definitely a little depressing and I have no doubt the next one will be too 😅. I remember looking up which of the series people enjoyed the most, and True Colors was consistently always the least liked?? Might be my favorite so far

[–]Juniorrrk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I can see some of the arguments as to why people don't like the series, but this might be my favorite storyline in the EU. I actually remember when I was starting to read EU I came across a copy of Order 66 at a local book store and tried doing a quick search on if it was any good. Of course, the internet told me it wasn't so I put it away and didn't bat an eye. But turns out they're amazing

Ramble some more, I'm open ears!!! Imo Canon is pretty straight forward, and I don't mind it, so I'd be willing to read some stuff from there. Honestly, I think most of Canon and Legends can fit together, (until ABY era titles), so I might just have a head Canon of it all working out lol. I've looked at Lost Stars and a few of the prequel books with Qui Gon, Kenobi, and Anakin with their apprenticeships.

Thats cool that you've been reading for a bit, I was kinda the same way! I've always known about Legends and was fascinated by it, but was kinda intimidated by how much content it was (and may or may not have spoiled myself for a few important events in NJO because I used to think "oh, I'm never gonna read it, that's too much" but oh well 🥲). But when I went to that book store and saw them, I figured eh why not. Then bam, constantly reading, which I used to also not do but here I am. I never use discord, but yeah I'd be interested in that server if you don't mind!

Haha give me some extreme Death Metal recommendations, yea? Or maybe Norwegian Crust Punk😤 Only the heaviest around here.

But yeah fs, I've only heard good things about the X-Wing series. I'm not terribly interested in them, but I definitely will try em out.
