Anyone who doesn't bow down to the sheer magnificence of the Thrawn trilogy can GTFO

have you guys actually read the thrawn trilogy? They're honestly shit books.

>>79437909
it was canon before Disney bought Star Wars

HAHAHA what a fucking pleb

>>79440541
>sheer magnificence
Meh. They're not worse than cancer, but in the grand scheme of sci-fi fantasy as a genre they're mediocre.
Now rogue squadron on the other hand was book-kino

>old eufags

yeah some of this stuff is beyond stupid but there are some good stories out there. There are so many stories and subgenres you can find something you're interested in if you really are thirsty for more star wars.

>nueufags(yes they exist)

REEEEEEEEE THESE ARE CANON REEEEEEEEEE EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED IN THESE SHITTY BOOKS AND COMICS AND A CHILDRENS CARTOON SHOW THAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH EVERYTHING IS REAL DID YOU KNOW VADER WENT TO TATOOINE? YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE BACKSTORY TO MON MOTHMA SO READ THIS SHITTY BOOK REEEEEEEEE THIS WAS ALL PART OF JJ'S PLAN

>>79441518
>it was canon before Disney bought Star Wars
You mean until the prequels, that negated all of the clone wars lore established there.
Lucas never gave a fuck, even if the EU had its own internal cannon it was always at the subject of the films.

>>79437728
The vornskrs and ysalamri were pretty dumb honestly.

I liked Joruus and Luuke.

Was there ever a Bigger Luuke? (or would he be called Biigger Luke)

>>79441793
Joruus C'Boath. a Jedi Master who is the insane clone of the dead Jedi Jorus C'Boathcreated as prototype for Sheev's massive clone project.

>>79441647
they changed the canon a bit (the clones in Zahn`s books where renegades) but the rest was the same

Luuuke

Vornskrs were sick, ysalamiri were an interesting plot device that made our heroes utilize skills other than the Force crutch. It made for good reading.

>>79442033
I'm a bit fuzzy on that. I remember Mara kills Luuke and I think Luke got his robot hand chopped off.

>>79442200
They felt a little too fantastical for my taste.

Daily reminder

>rots that low

Reminder that the worst of the old EU is better than Disney SW

Suncrusher is better than Starkiller

Imperial Remnant is better than First Order

New Republic is better than Resistance

Jacen Solo is better than Kylo Ren

Jaina Solo is better than Rei

muh blue space sherlock

it really is completely pointless to read these. oh my god some author is saying "LIGHTSABER" and butchering the actual canon and even names of characters, but they referenced things! it's the same reason rogue one was shit.
read better scifi.

>>79443277
Would have been a cool sequel, but we'll never get to see it.

Ben Solo, which makes no sense to me. Leia definitely didn't know Obi-Wan as 'Ben'. And I don't think Han cared enough about old Obi-Wan to name his kid after him.

to be honest all I wanted out of the movie is ..

>tfw moment when they ask for a callsign of a maverick pilot ace
>he responds with "Rogue One standing by"
>in a moment of solidarity the pilots that defied orders and joined the sortie start responding "Rogue Two standing by...", "Rogue Three standing by" and so on
>Rogue Squadron is born

One job, Disney ... one fucking job

>>79449908
That would be cool. But Rogue Squadron didn't show up until after the Battle of Yavin. But a movie between 4 and 5 explaining how Luke and Wedge form Rogue Squadron would be pretty awesome.

>>79442890

This shit right here. This was my jam as older kid. To this days its the only EU series that felt like a proper sequel to the trilogy.

>tfw we will never get a theatrical depiction of the battle of coruscant

Old Republic era is a lot more interesting than the movies and books. Mostly because I like the Sith Empire.

>>79449908
It could have been a neat start to a spinoff franchise. Simple too. The same shit could happen have happened, all they needed were a few more X-Wings and Y-Wings flying off with the shuttle.

Hell, the whole point of Wraith Squadron is to follow a team of skilled pilots with commando capabilities.

The old EU had some really good shit

Ignoring the dumb stuff like the Mando wank, you still had Thrawn, KotoR, Bane, ect..

Disney Star Wars' EU hasn't made anything that good, going off of what I've heard.
