Shamelessly indulging in melodramatic space trash since 1995

EUbits: Would you be brave enough to revisit KJA?

December 12th, 2010 by Dunc · 11 Comments

Revisiting the Jedi Academy trilogy. Bryan Young is a glutton for punishment: He reread Kevin J. Anderson’s first Star Wars novel, Jedi Search, even though he knows better. Joining him is Kelly, aka Scarlett Robotica, who actually likes the series. (I suppose someone has to.) They’re debating it. I’m sure you can guess whose side I’m on. (And no: I wouldn’t. Last time I tried I couldn’t get past Luke’s speechifying.)

Details, details… Sue Rostoni updated us on a couple of minor details this weekend: There’s a hint that the Heir to the Empire anniversery edition will indeed have a new cover, and confirmation that short stories are coming back, at least in the Insider.

More on The Jedi Path. Daniel Wallace has posted a four-part series of endnotes for the in-universe instruction manual.

Veitch talks Dark Empire on Tuesday. The comic’s writer is holding a discussion on the comic this Tuesday evening at the bookstore he co-owns in Bennington, Vermont.

Disturbing Expanded Universe quote du jour

April 14th, 2009 by Dunc · 8 Comments

Is it love, or just KJA? Only the Holocron knows for sure.From the original Essential Guide to Characters, way back in 1995:

Ackbar and the white-haired beauty would enjoy each others’ company a lot over the coming years, both in their tasks for building the New Republic, and in private.

Ahh, 90′s EU. When the human/fish romance roamed wild and free. (Thanks to the miscreants of #eu.)
