In the book Ciena recognizes Thane's flying style and that's how she determines he's joined the rebellion, but the chapter ends with her realization.

Ciena is indeed pretty cute in this.

Trawn is good in new animated tv show.

Plus in a surprisingly turn, especially for Disney, they
totally bang. No implications just straight out

Only bad stuff novel wise were by people like KJA or most of the writers who had little experience in science-fiction/fantasy stories which is mainly when Star Wars books were produced by Bantam Publishing. Once they switched over to Del Rey, both pre, during, and post OT and PT stories were good. Due to writers like Stover, Luceno, Salvatore, Zahn, Alliston, etc...

And I liked NJO. That was the moving point where the post-RoTJ stuff gets cemented into being bleaker, darker, and more serious without going full retard grimdark. I get the Vong were tough for some people to like but it was a nice divergent from rogue imperial warlord/ancient Sith Lord/super weapon of destruction/fallen Jedi storylines that got repeated over and over.

Plus if they ever did NJO, it would hit all the right buttons with the Japanese and guarantee sequel seasons with stuff like LotF and FotJ.

Very bad. The Vos/Ventress novel is literally intended toward a female demographic with a retarded OTP between Vos and Ventress, Lords of the Sith was decent, Tarkin was okay, rest of it is pretty bad.

So I'd say no.

I disagree, I liked Bantam era a lot more than the Del Rey era, mostly because I hated NJO/LotF/FotJ, I have no interest in Denning's stupid snuff montage.

I've read the best parts of NJO in Traitor and Enemy Lines, I don't really care to read anything else from it, and this is from a guy who tolerated Crystal Star and Planet of Twilight, the two worst books in the Bantam era by far.

Hell, I even found GOOD parts in those two.
Crystal Star had cute Solo babies parts (Even if the kidnapping was bullshit writer fiat.) and uh, I guess the magician girl from it eventually became a fully fleshed out character in A C Crispin's Han Solo trilogy.

Planet of twilight had a swole Hutt and Uh I guess Daala being not-an-idiot and tooling around in a patrol vessel doing commando stuff.

>>157331882
Travis had one really good book (Hard contact), two decent ones, Tripple Zero, True Colors, one that started out okay and went to shit fast, (Order 66), and the rest were shit. Actually I didn't read her stuff with Ahsoka and such before TCW Season 2 pissed her off and made her ragequit, but her post-endor set books were awful, though that was as much Denning's fault as hers.

>>157331777
We all know is going to be shit so why dont kill it now?

>>157332141
When I saw the title "Rebels" I thought we were going to see different aspects of the rebellion and not just one group of people.

>>157332059
I wanna say we've seen male twi'leks without the forehead protuberances now. As for the head cover, shit, maybe the artist is doing a trap thing there on purpose.

Its because the contrarians on /co/ don't realize that TCW was cancelled due it running on CN which is owned by Disney's biggest cable rival despite its success and appeal and that it getting better was hugely influenced by Lucas' personal involvement and money. Which also explains why Rebels still looks like dogshit even into season 3.

>>157332174
Bantam Era Star Wars is awful. Zahn, Stackpole, and Alliston can't make up for crap like Children of the Jedi, Planet of Twilight, Jedi Academy Trilogy, and so on. Bantam era was the worst part of Star Wars EU.

>tolerated Crystal Star
Sorry anon, I can't take you seriously now.

>>157331832
Vong is way to do divergent from usall stuff in worst possible way, same with way to do that type of race.
Just because it's diffrent that cliched plots its not excuse to be shit.

Also it was close getting full retard grimdark.

And idea of this becoming darker, bleaker and edger is mistake to begin with. Especially right after (few decades) end of original story.
This reason why I enjoy retcon making stuff between original trylogy and new trilogy more peaceful (even at expense of Jedi order).
Star Wars should be about hope and adventure, there are other setting for grimdark stuff. If you want darker SW you can always focus on Rise of Empire era. Or at least move timeline few centuries or more in future.

>>157332179
Like how the Clone Wars covered many theatres of war?

A shame we went from 'personally funded by George Lucas with millions per episode' to whatever it is Rebels has got.

I think he's more of a small cameo than anything else.

>>157332058
>Very bad. The Vos/Ventress novel is literally intended toward a female demographic with a retarded OTP between Vos and Ventress,
It actually started out pretty decent, but the endign was just "We need to get the Ostrander fans back and get rid of Ventress, so throw away the TCW characterization we took from the Big Lebowski and bring back the edgelord."

I really wanted to see what Christie Golden can write when she ISN'T stuck finishing or setting up someone else's idea, I was hoping Inferno Squadron would be all her, but it's a fucking EAfront2 prequel.

>And the idea of this becoming darker
Was due to the fans. This was reception both Lucas Arts Books and Del Rey recieved from adult fans wanting the series to get more serious and more continual instead of random one-shot novels set all over the post-RoTJ timeline that Bantam did.

>>157332252
Worst part is we will never know where in EU the writers were going to take Vestara and Ben Skywalker's relationship.

>>157332299
Nor I. Kanan and Hera are interesting enough I suppose but I can't find it in myself to at all care about what Ezra or Sabine or Zeb do.

>>157332183
Considering how Yendor looks i'm guessing the artist just saw Hera and thought all Twi'Leks look like her, even the lekku pattern is about the same

>>157332342
Well, he recently announced at celebration that he has no future plans for writing Star Wars books, so take that what you will. And it looks like Timothy Zahn will be writing more books in the future

>>157332174
Only the first two books by Travisisty were decent, the third was goofy and the last two were absolutely fucking awful. Her autism over people debunking her low end bullshit about the Clone Army's size and number of troops involved in the war and her rants and bitch-fests are part of the reason why she was axed from Lucas Arts.

>>157332430
Traviss said the same thing when she "left" Lucas Arts. Interesting.

>>157332374
It wasn't just that she killed off Mara Jade. She had her killed by Caedus in the dumbest way possible that both makes the main antagonist of LotF look like a pussy and hijacked all three novels of the series she wrote into heading back into a repeat of her Clone Commando novels and Fett stories.

"TOlerated" as in "Went in in the hopes of salvaging *SOMETHING* decent.

Bantam's stinkers are Parts of Children of the Jedi (Mostly the shit involving Callista and the Gammoreans, the rest, ESPECIALLY the descriptions of Belsavis itself were pretty okay.) Most of Crystal star, the Luke C-Plot in the Black Fleet Crisis, the Corellia Trilogy is bad but not completely awful and was partly redeemed by the bit about Thraken in the Han Solo Trilogy. The Jedi Academy trilogy was pretty fucking bad, but I, Jedi made it slightly better and really, I think when working with his wife on Young Jedi Knights JKA completely redeemed himself. Darksaber was a bit of a weird one, if you take out the pointless death and make the A-plot a pure comedy it could have really worked, oh and remove Callista from the B/C plot because she is awful.


The High points of Bantam. Thrawn trilogy, Hand of Thrawn duology, Rogue Squadron, WRAITH Squadron, Han Solo Trilogy (Not the Han solo Adventures or Lando Adventures though, those actually came before Bantam.)Truce at Bakura, the good parts of Darksaber

As pseudo-punishment that punished the fans more than it punished HER Denning did at leat make her kill of Pellaeon (Who she actually really liked.) and leave him unmourned by the empire.

But like I said that punished *US* more than it punished *HER.*

Also, the 'Obi-Wan and Anakin' comic. A couple of the novels also start off in the Prequel era before transitioning into the OT era.

His naval parts are base a lot on what was physically possible in the X-Wing PC game, and on the devastating power of torpedoes in WW2.

I know, that's the point I quit reading Lost Tribe.

The only reason it seems like KT left on "far worse terms" is because the public backlash and the entire affair was recorded and screenshotted from her rants on her blog and her arguments with fans on the Force.net or in actual person on camera. Wendig literally lost his shit over people critiquing his first novel because it was honestly written like garbage with flip-flopping tenses (present vs past), grammatical errors and spelling problems, typos, and odd shit like using XIR in canon.

Also can't forget that passage of "The fighter hobbily jerked and wobbled" shit. The guy had a meltdown over this claiming his novels had never been so negatively reviewed before. Well protip Wendig you dumb fuck, your writing for Star Wars now.

That doesn't work, because you have things like the Han Solo and Lando trilogies, that were written long before the prequels happened.
To me, prequel era ends once the Empire is fully established as the controlling force in the galaxy.

The Hutts and the rest of the criminal underworld are still a thing during Palpatine's reign. Vader even hired Boba to do what the imperials were to useless to do, capture Solo.

Yes, but they're not controlling entire planets or systems, like they did in the Republic.

>>157337133
Hutts have their own region in the galaxy they control. But they answer to the Empire and do what the Empire tells them to do to keep their autonomy. The crime families of the Hutt dynasties control hundreds of star systems.

Anime when? TFU is the one series which would fit a anime series well given how exaggerated the force is in it.

Rebel propaganda.
The films have no evidence of the racism and oppression that the Empire supposedly enforced systematically, except for that one detention block officer on the first Death Star insulting Chewie. Instead, we see multiple aliens working with or for the Empire, like the Kubaz spy in ANH or the bounty hunters in ESB.

>>157337609
Most of the films were PG13 at best, doubt they would depict slavery and have a potential shitstorm on their hands or possibly drive away the part of the audience that has to take their kids with them. Bounty hunters don't count, they're essentially whores with different skill sets that will do anything for the money as long as they don't feel like they're being set up.

>>157337756
Only RoTS, TFA, and Rogue One have hit above the PG rating. And RoTS is also the one that shows children being slaughtered, a man being dismembered and burned alive, and frequent characters on screen being decapitated.

But the Empire is hugely human-centric.

>>157337808
There was a lot of fading to black and then the next scene starts when he was killing those children. They alluded to it well enough but they never showed it, at best we got a pre-teen/teenager get shot to death by clones but even then that wasn't so much dark as unsettling. The rest they did show but it didn't end up feeling so dark from my point of view.

So are aliens to each other. Humans have the right to be the superior race in Star Wars:

>most powerful Jedi? Always humans.
>most powerful Dark Jedi/Sith? Always humans.
>most populated planets in the galaxy by race? Humans.
>most related species to humans? Near-Humans.
>majority of early hyperspace-traveling explorers and pioneers? Humans.

Human race is master race. Hell The Essential Guide to Warfare book in Star Wars for EU even tells us the early Human dominated Republic even had a IoM phase where they went around genociding a bunch of alien species for not worshiping the same religion as they did.

>>157338738
Thrawn does the Empire good and the Vader parts and Grand Inquisitor also complimented the show very well. But the other Inquisitors being so criminally incompetent, the terrible animation, aping Ralph M's original art style in such a forced way with terrible CGI doesn't work as does the intent to push old school Star Wars feels very artificial from an aesthetic standpoint.

Also how they ruined Maul will never be forgiven.

Anon, rewatch RoTJ. The Empire overcame the surprise attack by the teddies and were slaughtering both them and the Rebels despite the planet being full of Ewoks until Han hijacked an AT-ST and captured the last of the Imperial reinforcements from the shield bunker.

The Empire at its height controlled almost all of the galaxy.

The Rakatan's barely controlled 500 planets.

As far as my headcanon is concerned they exist to round up Force-Sensitive babies and keep track of potential threats so the Empire knows where to muscle in with mundane military power.

No.

>>157340509
>for no reason
He's an unstable attack dog who got mauled:^) by his first major targets and written off by the guy who held his leash. Then his old tribe picks him out of the dirt and brushes him off, even giving him an apprentice to tool around with. He manages to bash a couple crime gangs into a junta on Mandalore and kill his self-appointed nemesis Kenobi's girlfriend.

Then the moment he finally thinks he's managed to accomplish something meaningful (in his own eyes), his old master busts in for a completely one-sided 1v2 duel, butchers his apprentice, and throws him back into the dirt so he can lead him back to someone of actual cosmic significance so Sheev can kill them too.

He knows nothing but violence and coercion through its thorough application, and keeps getting beaten down by people with the additional skills necessary to make lasting accomplishments. Of course he's going to end up a broken, delusional mess seeking one last chance to get back at the people he blames for his failings.

>>157335886
>Only if you like tomboys.
Good point. Not everyone has good taste.

>>157341410
Seeing how Rebels completely contradicts both Maul's established goals in TCW and his character as well, I'm going to safely agree with that anon in that it clearly feels like Filoni had no idea what the fuck he was doing with him in Rebels and him killed off so anti-climatically and altered his character.

Rebels is terrible for a lot of reasons. The ruining of Maul is just one the more primary ones at the top of the list.

>>157339107
They actually did. The Empire did start kickoff Ewok ass though they lost some troops too. In the end, that was just a garrison against many other Ewoks.

Being bitch slaves to Imperial interests and having Imperial garrisons on all their worlds effectively renders them inconsequential. The Republic let them run around doing whatever they wanted as long as it wasn't on a Special Snowflake planet. The Empire solved the disenfranchisement of the Outer Rim and put a halt to outright gangsterism having free reign. So fucking what if a Hutt plays up the mafia thing in their front lawn? They couldn't ever do it beyond the scope of their yard with the Empire's boot on their nuts.

Not to mention it's a secret from the audience until halfway through the movie, when the film suddenly cuts to it for the obligatory "WE BIG IMPORTANT VILLAINS NOW" speech. I guess the toneless scene of that previously unmentioned system of planets getting torched while the whole galaxy watches and weeps from their backyards was supposed to distract the viewer from the fact that the plots of the first and second halves of the movie are completely disconnected.

God damn, just thinking about TFA makes me a cynical grump

>>157343200
I couldn't take Kylo Ren nor the First Order seriously as villains. Rey can already defeat Kylo, what's there left for Luke to teach? If EP8 Rey beats Kylo, we're just treated to more girlpower shit. If EP8 Kylo trains more & beats Rey, it'd make Luke look like a shitty teacher given how much potential the EP7 untrained Rey had & Rey's training being unable to keep up with whatever Snoke does.

>>157342173
That's not what happened. Bioware and Obsidian put some gay side characters and flirting options into Kotor 1&2. Lucasarts told them to remove them because it wasn't something they wanted to address. Said removal was half-assed at best, and still accessible through some dialog options or by poking around the game files.
Also, some of the old EU books introduced gay characters years ago.

He ragged on Rogue One for breaking "muh film school rules" and "visual recognition pandering", both of which TFA managed to get awa with to a far greater degree, so I think he's just irrational and/or watched R1 with a shitty audience and soured the experience with bad fee-fees.

>>157345184
>In addition, they (Chiss) experienced a greatly accelerated growth rate compared to Humans, which contributed to their reaching maturity faster than Humans. Thus a Chiss at the age of 10-years held the physical maturity of a 20-year old Human. This in turn resulted in a culturally-imprinted emotional maturity that was many times above that of their Human counterparts. They were capable of living up to 80 years old, at which point a Chiss was considered venerable; children were between ages 1-10, and they experienced a rapid adolescence from 11-12 and were considered full adults by 13-14. Middle-age followed between the ages of 51-62, and those aged 63-79 were considered old.

I don't understand, how are they supposed to have high school harem antics with such an abrupt aging pattern?

I love the Imperial Agent story in TORtantic but its kind of dumb that they force Chiss species as the canon route for them.

>Hello fellow Republicans I am just your friendly blue ally, no Imperial accent? N-no I'm just from Chandrilla, my foster parents adopted me...

>>157345732
Anon, the Chiss are like the Vulcans of Star Wars. They are much less emotional or prone to behavioral outbursts or hot-headed antics then baseline humans. Those kind of things don't happen at all with their society.

I mean you could still have a harem but its going to be awkward explaining to your parents if your a human why your dating a 8 year old Chiss girl even if she's mentally more mature then a 20 year old human.

>>157345645
What would she think of headpats?

What is the legal age of consent in the Empire? What is the legal age of consent in the Republic?

>>157346170
She would probably enjoy them. But she wouldn't give any outward indications that she actually likes them, Chiss are very analytical and cold generally speaking. You will have to bombard her with headpats, hugs, and maybe you'll get a quick return hug or physical embrace every so often in private.

Let's not forget they literally take over all of cloud city, making unilateral trade deals with the huts (the senate still exists, they just don't care if they have input) and of course requiring the head of the citystate to lie to his friends.
Lastly, in return of the jedi, they've invaded primitive societies in order to install military support machines.
They were the very definition of oppressive.

not him, but it was for me.
I mean, they set him up from the beginning of his time in TCW as mentally unhinged, but playing the long game, as well as pursuing his own brand of independence from the Sith way. After his final beat down his progression into something beyond a sith, more a true dark jedi makes a lot of sense, and much of his craziness in his initial introduction in Rebels disappears entirely the moment his plan to activate the sith weapon is initiated. It was an act to lull everyone into a false sense of security, and get Ezra to join him. You'll notice that once he gets his vision of Obiwan, it changes completely because he's seen that the key to everything, including himself, is there.
He's struck down and accepts that if it's for the sake of a child who will bring an end to the sith, he's okay with that.

>Canon NR degrades into literally bipartisan extremism and political gridlock and the executive can't do shit because they have no power at all, also they have no military so when a bunch of planets secede to join the First Order they can't do jack besides endorse Leia's privately funded Resistance because they have literally no way of fighting the First Order

Did we read the same books? I'm pretty sure Lusankya was still kicking and capable of killing them all even after being ganged up on by Rogue Squadron, two ISDs, an Alderaan War Frigate, and hundreds of freighters armed with missiles.

>>157331666
You can't honestly tell me that nonsense like The Glove of Darth Vader a.k.a. "I BID YOU... DARK GREETINGS" or the Jedi Academy Trilogy a.k.a. The Kyp Durron Power Hour that even Stackpole mocked, somehow those are better than Canon works like Bloodline, Thrawn, Twilight Company, and Catalyst.

The EU had some truly dreadful crap.

>or seceding systems
Was planet seceding against the law in the New Republic? I thought it was acceptable for planets to go independent from the new goverments since quite a few stayed loyal to the Empire.
>>157353673
I mean, I agree about screwing Alderaan, the planet had biological weapons hidden away if I remember correctly. But to be fair, Rebel soldiers doesn't really say anything during fighting in the OT.

>>157354075
>Was planet seceding against the law in the New Republic?
I don't remember the exact details but the plot of the (atrocious) Legacy of the Force with Evil Jacen was centered around the Corellians and a bunch of allied systems throwing a shitfit and deciding to quit the Galactic Alliance while hiding behind Centerpoint Station, which led to another little galactic civil war.

>>157353630
It's not EU, it's Legends, you retard.

>>157354075
I don't think it was illegal in Legends. I know that's it's not against the law to go independent in nucanon. Although there's not been much detail on them, there were many Governments formed from the Battle of Jakku. There are the Confederacy of Corporate Systems, Coruscant provisional government(Basically the Imperials that didn't got to the Unknown regions and ruled by Mas Amedda under New Republic watch), New Separatist Union, First Order and the Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya(Which is basically a nation of pirates).

>>157354537
EU is quicker to type.

>>157354467
Oh right, wasn't that the war where it's just constant escalation by both side keep thinking that they have to strike first.
>>157354634
I see, thank you.
>New Separatist Union
Well that just sound great, name yourself after the guys who started the Clone War and directly led to the creation of the Empire.

>>157353630
I think the answer is that the canon New Republic was created based aorund the context of the prequels that we didn't have previously for Legends.

So since we know how Palpatine came to power now, it makes sense for the Canon New Republic to be designed in a manner reactionary against how Palapatine pulled it off. Meaning, a weak Chancellor with little more than figurehead power, an extremely limited central military, a capital moved away from Coruscant, and maximum autonomy for individual systems.

Additionally the whole history of the Legends NR was basically constant war against everything from imperials to warlords to genocidal aliens, so they needed a strong central government and military to survive. Legends NR has been at peace for decades

>>157354537
I just call it noncanon,

>>157353057
Those globes are sensor arrays, not shield generators. And Executor had multiple banks of them.
Also, Executor was being focused on by the bulk of the Rebel fleet. The A-wing struck the killing blow, but that was only possible because the ship was being pounded by dozens of capital ships.

>>157355352
>it makes sense for the Canon New Republic to be designed in a manner reactionary against how Palapatine pulled it off.
It actually doesn't. The system Palpatine exploited worked for a very long time and he needed decades of planning and preparation, and also force mind manipulation fuckery. Throwing all of it away just to make it impossible to do again is retarded, even more because there are not many who could pull it off again. Palpatine is the extreme, not the norm.

>>157350047
Literally all of this is out of character for Maul.

>>157352325
You do realize this is after Ackbar ordered the entire Rebel fleet, capital ships + all their starfighters to specifically target the Executor right?

>>157332798

A Near-Human is basically an alien that is closely related to normal Humans. The Chiss are near-Humans, Twi'leks are generally considered near-Humans, etc...

>>157357616
What if Humans are just Near-Chiss?

>>157357511

The fuck are you talking about, you dingus? Their physiology is vastly different from that of a Human or any Near-Human.

>>157357886
I think what Anon meant was that there were a lot of species that are related to humans. There aren't many Near-Wookies or Near-Hutts, for example.

Imperial - Russia, Austria, Germany, USA, Japan

Dirty Rebels - Chile, Brazil, Spain, Italy, France

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

>>157353697
I mean I'm pretty sure that Stackpole also heavily overestimates the power of the average Imperial Star Destroyer considering that aside from Darth Vader's one, we hardly see Star Destroyers ever doing anything actually useful in the movies themselves. But the way he talks about them you to think of that they were some kind of interstellar death incarnate machine or something.

>>157330263
This Maps fucking stupid. Why is it considering Malaysia to be part of Thailand, thinks that Indonesia is Malaysia, and thinks that Singapore is in the middle of Borneo somewhere?

>>157358397
Yeah, that's what Legends says it can do. But we never actually see them doing it in canon material i.e. movies and cartoons.

3 of them glass a planet in Kotor.

>>157358486
1) These weren't Star Destroyers
2) There was a small fleet of them
3) Malak only destroyed Taris City which is a narrow stripe on the planet's surface

>>157358486
I never liked the kinds of tech levels on display in Knights of the Old Republic.

We are supposed to believe that the weapons and technology in use during the Galactic Civil War is leaps and bounds ahead of what was used during the Clone Wars, hence the whole three Clone Wars vintage Dreadnoughts = 1 Star Destroyer thing from the Thrawn Trilogy. And even the new canon Thrawn book draws a distinction between the old CW era blaster cannons and the new turbolasers.

But somehow a thousand years ago everything was actually more or less the same?

>>157358311

>>157358534
The warships used by the Sith in KoTOR are vastly inferior to the ones used by the GE in present times. On top of that, they are part of the Star Destroyer family. And thirdly, all of the entire planet was ruined by Malak's bombardment, not just Taris City. Taris is a mini-version of Coruscant, a planet which entire surface is covered in hundreds of hundreds of kilometers of cityscape, all of that was nuked by Malak's fleet. Even centuries after the original deed, Taris hasn't recovered.

>>157358643
>They can literally mix-breed with Humans
That doesn't make them Near-Humans.

They're both part of the Star Destroyer family in the same way that both HMS Victory and the USS Iowa are both ships of the line.

I'll take it because its SOMETHING. If you remove something, like the whole universe of alternate media since episode 4, you need to replace it with something else. Where is it? Other than that comic series there is NOTHING expanding on the new Disney canon, not even novels. If RO was their attempt at doing that then they have failed. Other than the heroine of that movie, it never bothers to give any of the cast to develop, not even a few minutes of exposition.
