Oh man, that's so much worse! I had really been looking forward to a fourth Star Wars movie with Hoojibs in it. I've never budged on my love for Ewoks either. But that rabbit...lord, almighty.

I've always liked Ewoks too. The bit where one is shaking his dead mate to see if he'll wake up always gets to me.

The Ewoks are cool. I mean even some of the crappier CGI creations in the prequels might have been tolerable if they were actual puppets or whatever

Jaxxon was a quick-witted Lepi smuggler from Coachelle Prime. The most rambunctious of his family's thirteen children, he left his homeworld at an early age, after stealing an unprotected freighter. He made his way to Nar Shaddaa, where he began to perform odd jobs, quickly becoming familiar with the important elements of fringe culture.

not really, at all. unless the whovians actually produced daleks that they could fuck.

Jon, I take offence to your notion that being a brony is all about the fuckin'.
― how's life, Friday, 9 November 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
... I don't see how that joke was inappropriate, coming as it did after the reveal of big-titted human sidekick Amaiza Foxtrain
tbh I am glad we are having this conversation because just typing "Amaiza Foxtrain" is cracking me up
ps: Amaiza Foxtrain

i know i really shouldn't be surprised, but the level of detail in every article on wookieepedia, it's mindblowing.

funny, even as a star wars stan i had never spent much time on that before it was brought up itt

i mostly just like when it reminds me of the old comics i haven't read in 20+ years
ftr I love Star Wars and Doctor Who and Star Trek
My Little Pony can fuck off though, unless it's that cracked-out "call upon the Sea Ponies" video

I discovered this wondrous bit of prose on wookiepedia a while back. I never tire of reading it
The remaining IG-88 uploaded his consciousness into a computer core destined for Death Star II. He succeeded in being uploaded, and was preparing to activate his program to take over all droids in the galaxy when it was destroyed. With his consciousness in the Death Star II, he would literally become the Death Star.[3]Emperor Palpatine was the only known person on the Death Star to suspect something was wrong after the uploading of the computer core with IG-88 inside. Before the station's destruction, he noticed a series of doors in his throne room opening and closing sporadically. IG-88 did this to show the Emperor that he was not all powerful. However, IG-88 was utterly baffled when it appeared that Emperor Palpatine used some unseen force to attempt to push the doors open. However, IG-88 exerted more force and was able to continue to keep the Emperor locked in, until he grew tired of the game and unlocked the door.[3]

the only expanded universe novels i've ever read were those Zhan Thrawn trilogy books.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 9 November 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago) link
oh wait, i had a book of short stories about the bounty hunters at one point, including one about IG-88 but it didn't tie in with Number None's story.
I read one of the Han Solo books, it had a blue cover? I remember it was super boring, then amazing, then boring again.

i had the bounty hunters book too, i remember an ig-88 story but playing practical jokes on the emperor doesn't ring a bell.
i like the attention to detail of all the articles being in the past tense. it was a long time ago!!!!
― Merdeyeux, Friday, 9 November 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
xp I don't know, I admire the whole series where the writers [SPOILER ALERT] gave Han and Leia three kids, then killed off two of them. Kinda ballsy.
― C-3PO Sharkey (Phil D.), Friday, 9 November 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
hah I think that's after my time - I do remember their three kids

remember realizing even as a kid that Kevin J. Anderson is one of the absolutely worst writers ever

Only novels I ever read were the Thrawn books and the zombie one on audio, which was actually pretty good had it not had the requisite cameos
