Is anyone else on this board just starting to get into the EU now? Having previously had no experience with it, save perhaps a few video games or comics? I'm finding you can get everything used, picked these up cheap (less than five dollars for all three of them) and I've been avoiding any reprints with the "Legends" banner as the money would be going to the Mouse, and putting that label on them seems to be devaluing what they actually are. May as well put a label that says "Bullshit" on them. The fact that Disney continues to sell what they've disregarded says to me that they know their own stories are inferior but they're not going to give up on a chance to make a few more shekels.

All that being said, I'm finding the EU to be a mixed bag. All of it is better than what Disney has put out, but it still isn't perfect. Being as I have no nostalgic attachment to any of it, I wonder what other people who have no nostalgic attachment, who are just getting into it, are thinking about the various stories and plotlines. My favorite stuff are the things that expand the universe, without touching on the primary characters of the movies, that's why I really enjoy these three books, and I find the stories in these books that tie themselves to either the Death Star, or the Rebels, or the main plot points of the OT are the weakest.

My absolute favorite story so far is The Tale of Muftak and Kabe by A. C. Crispin. It made me care about both of them and had cool world-building in the form of Talz biology and genetic memory. I would have loved to have seen a story set on the lush planet with giant flowers and pools of sweet nectar that Muftak described. I found myself quite disappointed when I checked wookipedia and saw that other media ignored those features for the Talz homeplanet.

Just working through Dark Force Rising. So far I'd say the Thrawn trilogy is a little cheesy in places, but the ideas are great, and it's not even funny how much better a follow-up to the OT it is than Disney's efforts. The choice to make the main villain more or less the polar opposite to Vader and Palpy is bold, and I love it. The setting of two more evenly matched factions struggling to take their place as galactic government is interesting too.

I was thinking of starting a thread to discuss the best versions of each story to experience where there are multiple options. For example, I would recommend the Mark Thompson audio books for Thrawn, but not the comic versions, which I find a bit lacking.

With books, I started with the Corellian Trilogy and it was enjoyable. Aside from that, the video games and the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, I recently started taking a crack at the comics. I'm starting with Tales of the Jedi and so far they're really impressive. I was simply expecting a good or decent read, but frankly I'm getting really blown away.

Is the force genuinely comprised of two sides, or is the dark side merely a corruption that undermines the balance of life/the force itself? Obviously, the lore gives us conflicting answers:

In the films, Obi-Wan refers to Anakin destroying the Sith and thus bringing "balance" to the force. This indicates that the dark side is something inherently abhorrent or unnatural. George Lucas himself clarified and upheld this interpretation in an interview (which I can't find, but whatever).

However, the expanded universe properties (The Old Republic, Dawn of the Jedi, Jedi Academy to name a few) appear as a whole to be pretty adamant in their depiction of both sides as an intrinsic and necessary part of the force - with DotJ going so far as to suggest a Yin Yang type situation where both elements must be studied in order to reach genuine understanding and balance.

I ask this because the latest Disney film was the first canon entry to mention "the dark and the light side," which would seem to support theory 2. This is doubly weird, seeing as Disney appears to want to get rid of everything eu and stick to the canon films as much as possible in every other respect.

The first theory is obviously more Judeo-Christian in outlook, while the latter is more in line with Taoism and other esoteric Eastern religions. It seems strange that George would go for the former over the later given his desire to emulate Eastern ideas.

What do you think? What is your reasoning? Please provide sources.

More to the point, how do you conceive of morality and the existence or non existence of universals and abstract objects (like good and evil) in relation to all of this?

>Why does a supposedly wise figure like Yoda cleave to the idea that personal love is necessarily evil, for example?

Does he ever say that? Like Anakin says in AotC, Jedi teachings encourage love and empathy and all of that gay stuff, it's only attachment which they discourage. Attaching yourself to one person provides a focusing point for very intense emotions, which are more difficult control, which makes you vulnerable to the dark side. Even if love is itself an ostensibly positive force, its influence can make you do crazy stuff. History's full of people abandoning their lives for the one they love, abandoning their principles in a fit of passion, even murdering in the name of love. And while the prequels don't expound on this in dialogue, you can clearly see the effects in Anakin. Love and attachment for his mother is what drove him to kill sand people in cold blood, attachment and fear for Padme is one of the factors that pushed him onto the dark path as he was terrified of her dying. The old order might have been heavy-handed in applying this policy, but the theory that "attachment=dangerous" does have truth in it.

>I would have preferred a little more world building in relation to how they became so dogmatic in the first place.

Agreed. You can infer that perhaps they had repeated instances of people becoming attached and falling in the past, but that isn't really shown explicitly. Dawn of the Jedi almost completely ignores this idea and goes for the big-brain centrist "dark and light are both needed for balance" interpretation, and even if you agree with that stance (I personally don't), it's certainly not the point of view of the Jedi.

>The general audience isn't really meant to see the Jedi as dogmatic

Admittedly, this could be a "the curtains were fucking blue" moment, and we can only speculate so far on what George wanted the audience to see. But even if John Q. Norman never saw this, I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation taken in the context of the prequels as a whole. Lucas made it clear that the Old Republic as a whole was dysfunctional and out of touch itsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>t's only attachment which they discourage

Personal love comes under the heading of attachment. Compassion is merely love that is universal, unconditional and disembodied. The Jedi clearly favor compassion whilst scorning personal love. Naturally, personal love is not without its follies but neither is compassion. I suppose I find it hard to believe that a storied institution like the Jedi order would take such a dismissive and, ultimately, superstitious view of personal love. It would have been more compelling if they had some means of testing whether or not a love was genuine through the force and realized there was something dangerously wrong with Anakin's "love" for Padme. It would also have made more sense in-universe. The Jedi are in danger of coming across as sociopathic with that whole "we take kids from an extremely young age and teach them that they must never form attachments" angle." It doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

>Dawn of the Jedi almost completely ignores this idea

I feel like Dawn of the Jedi really confused things further. If the dark side truly is its own substance and one half of the force, then the Jedi are out and out tyrants and liars.

> it's not unreasonable to assume that he meant for the old Jedi Order to be out of touch itself

I still think this is pressing the point a little too far. Whilst the Republic is portrayed as corrupt in the films, the Jedi are universally portrayed as paragons and heroes. I don't think most audiences would come away with a nuanced interpretation of the Order, and I think that George intended for there to be little nuance in this respect. This makes the whole "no attachment" shtick seem doubly obscene.

>Does he really need to be?

To some extent, yes. I see what you mean about them stepping on Luke's toes narratively, but Yoda's and Obi-wan's constant inability to actually reflect on the order itself undermines the strength of their characterization. Reflection is the first step to wisdom, after all, and these two are meant to be extremely wise.

Parts of the EU, like the Baby Ludi controversy, actually take that angle and do a decent job of it. But if we're limiting ourselves to George's direct works, and we assume that he wanted the Jedi to be seen as unequivocally good, then you're correct that this comes to off as just a bit jarring.

There was never a follow up story, though it is interesting to speculate. She was transferred off world when things got too hot on Coruscant. I imagine she was either killed or inducted into the Empire at some point. There was that one episode of CW that showed Sheev collecting force sensitive infants. It's CW so the canon's a mess, but still.

I think the story itself is great. It does a lot to highlight the inherent hubris of the Jedi: they are a cult; they are backed financially by powerful institutions yet are in no way beholden to them; they can and do steal children from their parents without prior consent; they do raise those children from the earliest age possible to deny sentient nature by suppressing their emotions and any personal connection that cannot be universalized. It is no wonder that Sheev was able to wipe them out with little to no public reprisal.

Said I was going to make this thread a few days ago. This is going to be my primary dumping ground for story planning, worldbuilding, discussion, and refining my ideas so they don't get unnecessarily out of focus. If you're reading over this thread and you wanna call me a fag for overlooking something or contradicting EU stuff, please do. I know the board gets silent, but I'm also laying my concepts down before because it's important to me that people who love the EU as much as I do have a definite say and knowledge of the story I'm attempting to tell. We got some great anons here, so I'm anticipating why I'll be called a fag, because it will often be for good reasons I suspect.

I'll be saging my posts most of the time so I don't force this thread to the front page or just generally shit up the board.(Note: Once I start getting chapters written and, for lack of a better term, published, I'll let those specific posts bump the thread.) I'm also not gonna do the whole "hurr durr what ideas ya got goys?" because I can actually formulate concepts and stories. I don't have an issue building on ideas or proposing their own, I just refuse to just sit on my ass and ask others to think so I don't have to.

I'll be posting here as I can and try to build or introduce the big parts of the narrative.

Here's the quick synopsis of the story and it's biggest beats:

I also meant to talk about some of the stuff having to do with how anti-Force user weapons will be handled in this time period. We don't have to have this discussion for the TOR separatist canon because the arsenals in use at the time are already fairly well-established or will be by TORanon in cases where they aren't. We had some talk in the lightsaber thread about pulse cannons being an excellent choice against lightsaber wielders. We originally put a focus on spread weapons like flamethrowers. Slugthrowers also have an application here. But those require a specialized ammo source. Pulse cannons are an energy-based weapon, meaning they use a type of ammo similar to the ever-present blasters, and have rapid fire and seem to dissipate on hit. This makes them very good against lightsabers. I also conceived of a new weapon which mixes the pulse cannon with the concussion rifle, shooting rapid streams of shots that explode instead of dissipating on impact. Explosive shots will defeat any defense a standard lightsaber can put up, and while shots from a concussion rifle can be Force pushed back, the rapid fire throws too much flak at the target to do this with any reliability. Only an abnormal kind of lightsaber setup can block them, and they can't be deflected back at the shooter. I further thought of arming droidekas with this weapon. Each individual shot lacks the power of a full-strength concussion rifle blast, but it's still enough to do a good deal more damage than a blaster in a radius. You may not have any use for this, but I thought I'd let you know it was there.

I really enjoyed your synopsis; it's rare that fan fiction can produce something so good. I like the idea of multiple Jedi orders; I like the idea of multiple governments in the galaxy; I like what you have done with the imperial knights - the idea of one of them engendering conflict in the way that you describe seems highly plausible. It all makes a great deal of sense given what has gone before.

My one gripe would be that you choose to ultimately go down the well trod path of "faction x vs. faction y + there is a super weapon." I understand this sort of conflict is the central theme of all Star Wars properties, but must you limit your story in this way? There are only so many times I can read an "us versus them" story-line in this universe without it getting boring. Conflict must play a role in any good narrative, especially a Star Wars narrative, but does it have to always be so much in the foreground?

What about discovery and new frontiers? What about colonisation? What about delving further into the mysteries of the force and the origins of life in this galaxy? What about introducing a viable timeline of linear technological progression (anathema to Stars Wars, I know, but it doesn't need to be).

Anyway, the overriding point is I think you've really got something.

Imagine dying over this weird contrivance of a plot point. How did Luke even know to sacrifice himself at that point? How did he know the last remnants of the resistance had their backs against the wall at that exact moment in time on that exact planet? How did he know that Kylo would take the bait or that it would even matter if he did? Why did Luke sacrifice himself for approximately 200 nobodies? Wouldn't it have made more sense to sacrifice himself at an earlier point in the war when the resistance still stood a chance of winning and his death would have actually made a difference to the outcome? How could he have been so sure that these 200 or so grunts would be enough to "light the spark that will start the fire that will burn the first order down (ugh)" across galaxy? What exactly is so special about them? Why did he even bother sequestering himself on the island if he's just going to break from this decision and help the resistance when it's already too late? And, if he is going to help the resistance, at this late stage, why not simply jump to light speed in his x wing?

NONE of the Last Jedi's major plot points made ANY sense whatsoever.

Honestly if you want the Thrawn trilogy as a movie just listen to the audiobooks, the unabridged versions are great if you get the version voiced by Marc Thompson. The thing to keep in mind is that the unabridged audio books are like 14h each so any movie version would be cutting large sections so it would probably end up shit. It's not like Lord of the Rings where you cut out all the random singing and suddenly you have a solid movie.

They would have had to rewrite the scripts so that Luke, Han, and Leia took secondary or even tertiary roles, and new characters filled in for them. I actually like that idea quite a bit, but I know that Disney would ruin it by casting more diversity hires.

At least the plot would have made more sense.

I think the problem with doing the Thrawn trilogy as movies now is too much time has passed. The entire story kind of hinges on it being shortly after RotJ, where the New Republic are struggling to get on their feet, where the Empire are weakened, but gradually pulling themselves together, Where Luke is established, but still young and naive about a lot of the finer details of the Jedi and the force.

So live action is off the table.

Animation is doable, and it could potentially make a great TV show, which is probably the better format for this kind of story. Thrawn is already an established character in the Disney canon, and there's always going to be an audience for more Luke Skywalker adventures.

It all hinges on whether Disney will ever decide to pull their fingers out and start treating this franchise properly, I guess, which seems like kind of a long shot at the moment,

Culture/Fandom-wise? Pretty much, yes, and thanks to the EU-sized lore and concept works being brought to the fans by former Lego designers, Bionicle lore authors and artists such as our dear Greg Farshtey and Chris Faber? It may yet to cease to be a thing, along with renewed popularity in Bionicle mocs thanks to 3D printing allowing fans to create and buy/print parts and masks we have always dreamed of owning.

Set-wise? Nah. You can thank the bumblefucks at Lego themselves for that by bringing back Bionicle in 2015 without the most crucial element that made Bionicle just as beloved as Star Wars' Expanded Universe was.

A complex plot and mythology that wasn't written like utter dogshit like the plot of the Netflix series "Bionicle: Journey To One" has.

But for all that it's worth? Here's a mini Grievous moc I cobbled up ages ago, anon.

Also, despite the facebook group Bionicle Maskposting being (arguably) the current-largest fangroup/forum dedicated to the Bionicle fandom, don't fucking bother joining up and expect to actually use said group for its main purpose outside of posting mocs or interacting with fellow members, which would be for SHITPOSTING, or rather, maskposting. You can thank the ongoing faggotry caused by the likes of the chinkbeaner-in-chief, Hector "Diggy" Figureroa, and his crossdressing degenerate Filipino roommate, Sarah. Yes, Hector allowed that faggot to be a moderator only because Sarah pegs Hector in his chunky gook asshole wih his femboi cock on a daily basis.

Besides the cinematic effect, that 'battle" does make sense? That military tactics would work? Simply marching foward under fire?

You can only see infantary running around and shooting, massive waves, some artillery and very light air support from the part of the Republic. How is that useful against an entrenched enemy, with terrain and home advantage?

Also… what kind of orders are those? "Concentrate all fire in the nearest ship"? You don't need to be a jedi or a "general" to say that.

How you would do the battle sequence to make it less Hollywoodian?

An exploration in complete artistic freedom, Star Wars Tales was a comic series by Dark Horse in which writers and artists were given free reign to do whatever they wanted. None of it was ever intended to be canon, and yet quite a bit of it easily could have been. I'll be storytiming my favorite bits from this wonderful little series.

those are all EU.

note: it may not contain every single comic & book (maybe a few random series or issues are missing) but it's a good starter pack for anyone that wants to build a digital SWEU library customized and organized to their taste. I'd upload my personal collection which is more complete and based off of that but haven't really gotten a chance to do so and my upload speed isn't terrific.

if you notice something missing just find it with http://libgen.io/ or http://www.hungry-ewok.ru/sw/all_books.htm or torrents

the comics (.cbz/.cbr) are just image archives that you can rename to .rar and edit them however you please (replace/add more covers, replace/scrub any disney/legends logos from new reissues and replace the pages with originals from libgen) you can do the same for the .epubs. It's all customizable. I even have a separate Tales folder with each individual Tale in it's own cbr archive for easier sorting/chronological lists. That's one of the reasons I haven't uploaded my own collection, because there are a lot of duplicate folders due to stuff like this and it's customized for my preferences which might be confusing for others.

I can't do it alone, Troopers. Tumblr and Twitter are the two largest bastions of Disney Wars fans, it's time we take the battle to them instead of letting them take the battle to us.

Does anyone else have accounts on these sites? I'll follow you. I think our goal should be to popularize the Expanded Universe, and tarnish the Disney flicks as much as possible.

Here's the request thread: >>4450

Ask for links there.

As for a brief summary, Odan-Urr was an ancient alien from long ago (long before even KOTOR) born to a species that could live for centuries and dedicated themselves to tradition. While Urr valued the past, he was a thinker whose boundless wisdom drove him to go beyond his planet and eventually join the Jedi Order where he went on to become one of its most famed Jedi masters and quite possibly the most influential, not because of his combat skills (he didn't like violence but he was powerful), but because of his mind and teachings, and his greatest achievement was founding one of the greatest (if not the greatest) repository of knowledge the galaxy has ever known: The Great Jedi Library of Ossus.

Real world wise, he first appeared in 1994 and his story (along with the other jedi comics of this period) helped to set up a shit ton of lore for the jedi.
