Requests

This thread may also be used to make requests for those seeking links to online stores, torrents or streams where you may purchase, download or watch Star Wars media that you are interested in. If you seek advice on media, this is also a good place to ask. This thread may also be used to post any Star Wars items, such as games, movies, books, toys, etc you're selling. So shill away, slimos.

Bordo's Recommendations

*West End Game's D6 Star Wars The Roleplaying Game sourcebooks (formed the foundation of the old EU worldbuilding and introduced all the names of planets and aliens we would come to know)

*Splinter of the Mind's Eye (the first major EU text)

*The Thrawn Trilogy (probably the EU biggest success novel-wise)

*KOTOR I & II (possibly the most popular SW games behind the Battlefront series and full of essential lore)

*Darth Plagueis (delves into Palpatine's past, the nature of the sith and the life of the novel's namesake, Plagueis himself)

*The Battlefront games (not the EA ones)

*Anything by James Luceno and Timothy Zahn (arguably the most consistent in quality and always try to follow the canon)

*Tales of the Jedi comics (contain important lore regarding the jedi and sith)

*The Darth Bane trilogy (explains how the Rule of Two came to be and why the sith got their shit fucked)

*Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter

*The X-Wing novels and comics

*The Hand of Thrawn duology

*The Han Solo Adventures

*The Han Solo Trilogy (different from the Adventures)

*The Lando Calrissian Adventures

*Other miscellaneous books and comics:

**Star Wars Tales

**Allegiance

**Choices of One

**Scoundrels

**Dark Horse in general ranges from great to good.

*Those are just the good, okay and great stories I can name off the top of my head. Now here's a list of actually bad shit you should avoid unless you want a good laugh or have a taste for "things that are so bad they're good".

**The old Marvel comics are a bit of a joke but they have their moments and interesting tidbits of lore (avoid the Droids and Ewoks comics unless they're for your kids)

**The Jedi Prince series of novels (six novels in all) are regarded as "The Room" of Star Wars and are basically responsible for tuning people away from the EU back in the 90s… Even Zorba the Hutt from said novels is the Star Wars equivalent of Tommy Wiseau. The novels are so damn awful they're fun in their own special way, much like The Room, except for all the politically correct preachiness which is mostly Captain Planet shit.

Enjoy your time in the Star Wars galaxy and may the Force be with you.

When I was in high school basically the only books I read that weren't for school were EU books. I've got a decent collection, but it's been years since I've read anything Star Wars. I recall the Darth Bane trilogy being one of my favourite series of books, is it worth a re-read or does it lose out if you know what will happen?

Sours the taste a bit, but I won't dismiss good content outright because the creator has caught the 'tism, I'll give it a look.

I will. Anyone who has watched any of the Disney Wars films is not someone I would take seriously.

A lot of the most hardcore fans went the Disney route purely because of brand loyalty rather than loyalty to the original canon or to Lucas.

Just started reading the Bane triology again last night. Got to the sith recruiter part; I always imagine the mining town to be full of comic book proportioned men with meat glove hands and being a metre taller than normal people and it always seems so silly, but the author keeps reinforcing that view, so I cannot imagine an actual human sized Bane.
