Fuck no.

They could've made a Katarn trilogy, DF2:JK, MOTS, JK2:JO

Rise, Fall, Redemption

The Kotor games, Thrawn Trilogy, Bane Trilogy, Katarn stuff, Republic Commando, and some other stuff is legitimately good.

It holds the line against the putrid shit that is the Yuuzhan Vong, Eldritch space gods, and numerous other stupid shit.

>Daily reminder Sheev, Vader, Tarkin, etc. literally did nothing wrong and only established an oppressive totalitarian dictatorship to build up the galaxy's military to deal with the incoming invasion from technophobic Klingon / Borg hybrid tattooed sadomasochist intergalactic invaders that lived outside the Force

No. There were so many better and original things in the EU.

disney is a lot less autistic than EU but way more boring

this is why the eu sucks anon, every writer wanted to make his story the most important one of the all.

MSN Gaming Zone anyone?

MotS was true multiplayer kino, I miss the old days
>>
>>86407804
I remember MSN Gaming Zone but I didn't use it for MotS. I played 90's Star Wars games but the only Star Wars game I played on multiplayer was Jedi Academy, I guess I missed out on the other good old stuff.
>>
>>86407804
Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy also had fantastic multiplayer and I think there even be some private servers still up somewhere

Hate JJ all you want, at least he understood the Star Wars is a fantasy series.
>>
>>86407971
That there are. They're mostly JA+ and Movie Battles II servers though not that that's a bad thing. Both are mods I'd highly recommend.
>>
Only the original six movies and the 2003 Clone Wars Cartoon are canon. Everything else is fanfiction BS.
>>
>>86405126
This, instead of Dark Forces kino we got a shitty 'Original the Character' who was just a shitty portmanteau of Jan Ors.

Disney have put all the worst aspects of the old EU IN THEIR FUCKING MOVIES, but got rid of everything good from it.

Yes

B-But anon, the Vong were a much more interesting antagonist then "MUH EVIL SITH LORD WEARING A MASK WHO JUST WANTS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING 4THELULZ" that was/has been done to death by both the old and nu-eu.

You seriously didn't like the pod race and Naboo in general?
>>
>>86408826

So i guess all the star wars games made, that payed license fees and were approved by Lucas are fan fiction?
>>
>>86411803
Good point, I think that The Force Unleashed was approved by Lucas, maybe we should consider that canon too.
>>
>>86411937

Why not? It doesn't contradict anything in the movies.
>>
The new EU has now made me sympathetic to the Empire. Obviously the Republic had to go if it's core design is so shit that the "New republic" turns into a complete mess only a few decades after it's creation

They haven't put in a force-sensitive droid. Yet.

>EU female character is interesting, philosophical, deconstructionist and has a unique take on the universe, but also isn't likeable as a person, most people resent or find distaste with her, and she isn't particularly powerful in the Force and needs to manipulate those who are to get what she wants
>Nu-EU female character is a literal Mary Sue that can literally do anything and everyone loves her despite her just being a fucking autist who won't stop making the same face and adds nothing to the universe
Hmmmmm really hard decision
>>
>>86412376
Back in the EU there was a force-sensitive droid, the one that explodes when Luke buys the droids in Episode 4. But even in the EU it was not canon I think. I unironically liked the silly stories like that one.
>>
>>86409099
>The fuck are Force trees

But Marvel wasn't Disney back then.

>implying R2 isn't force sensitive
Wew m'laddios
>>
>>86412532
IIRC that was from the very what-if "Tales" series. The real explanation was variously that R2 sabotaged his competition, and/or R5's were the Yugo of astromechs.
>>
>>86405774
Thrawn trilogy is high tier trash. Everything about Thrawn is deus ex machina. Also force destroying lizards. Please explain how this is good.
>>
>>86413396
I honestly don't see anything wrong with "force destroying lizards".
>>
>>86413396
So you are saying the Force itself as we see it in the movies is okay but the lizard is bad? I don't get your point. If the Force is religion just think of the lizard as people who wear religious charms. Like wearing a cross against the devil. It may "really work", it may simply have a psychological effect on the enemy, whatever. It's not more stupid than using the force to appear as a ghost.
>>
>>86413523
It's not a religion it's a bacterial infection.
>>
>>86413396
The lizards don't destroy the Force, they create interference that keeps Force-users from drawing on it normally. Now, Vornskrs needing the Force to hunt sessile creatures, that's stupid.
>>
>>86409099
>Force nullifying lizards is retarded
>Force trees is okay
explain this bullshit

Where would I find these servers?

Who are you quoting? What are Force trees?

If it's a """"leak""""" then be sure to post a source.

Are breasts canon in star wars?
What about chairs?
>>
>>86414802
All those sources are canon... It also says on top of the page that it is canon, not "legends".

What's wrong with your faaaace

Starkiller Base, Rey Sue, Snoke and Force Tree all might as well origin from the worst parts of the EU
