Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
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.)
Including giant bunnies. No, seriously. This of the kind of thing you need to be aware of if you’re even going to think about taking Star Wars too seriously.
Anyway, I know this is rather late, but Happy Easter/Passover/[insert spring holiday of your choice here], everyone!
(Meanwhile, all this stuff will be on sale tomorrow. The hand-painted eggs, not so much. But scrambled Ewok sounds good. Better than ham, anyway.)
Pablo Hidalgo takes checks off ten fantabulous Star Wars Superweapons from the laughable (Darksaber!) to the completely ridiculous (The Tarkin: just like Darksaber, but more than a decade earlier!) you’re sure to learn something. For one, in the Centerpoint Station entry:
Just one quibble: Wedge Antilles is Corellian and grew up in the Corellian system, which is home to this bizarre space station that is 350 kilometers in diameter. So why is he the guy who exclaims “look at the size of that thing” when the comparatively small Death Star comes into view?
And that’s why you should never take the EU too seriously, kids!
“I just want to be worthy of the Jedi Master that I love.”
If that makes you want to bash your head against the wall over and over and over again then don’t miss Dunc’s latest list of the EU’s Most Eye-Sporking moments. Her review of “Courtship of Princess Leia” is particularly hilarious.
And for another great rant about the “Gun of Command” (AHHHH!!!) don’t miss Jessa’s MOMENT.
