The sequel to the Jedi Academy Trilogy the inhabitants of the Carida System deserve. Well, I’m certainly not going to argue with this. Kyp Durron earned that Killed Billions merit badge fair and square!
You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs: Remembering Luke Skywalker’s first Jedi students
Remember a simpler time in Star Wars, where there were no sequels, no TV shows, when Star Wars was still kind of rare. Before the Special Editions, before the prequels, before Disney. Remember the… Jedi Academy trilogy? It’s okay, we understand if you don’t want to. Look at all the fanfic it made us write.
It was an odd time. Just kidding, it was kind of a shit show, one of many. But hey, if not for that awfulness, would we have soldiered on? The mocking let us bond, and for that, we are grateful. Mockingly.
Disturbing Expanded Universe quote du jour
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.)
Weird things on the Wookieepedia
An almost-forgotten relic of the KJA years: The Little Lost Bantha Cub. Truthfully, this isn’t really weird, but did make me burst out laughing when I ran across it.
Also check out this list of books in the Star Wars galaxy. There’s even a self-help book. Now that’s weird.
