Jon, I take offence to your notion that being a brony is all about the fuckin'.

... 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
xp: you haven't seen the picture of 70s companion Jo Grant nude and draped over a Dalek, I take it

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 (eleven 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!!!!

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.

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

No matter – whatever happens, the Twilight series' positive legacy is already written in stone. A generation of young readers have spent hundreds – nay thousands – of hours reading Meyer's books with the same passion and enthusiasm that the great gothic novels once excited. Moreover, they have formed an extremely vocal and articulate fanbase whose obsessive dedication to the written word has effectively forced the film-makers to remain essentially respectful of the source texts.
Truly, trolling refined into high art.

It's somewhat mindblowing to learn about this and read about the writing of "Empire" and realize "I had it all planned out from day one!" was GL's most successful achievement in creating the Star Wars myth.

It sounds like Mark, Harrison, and Carrie are down with this. I'm ok with it too, as long as Mark doesn't have to have that dumb 'Padawan learner' buzzcut with the asymmetrical rat tail from TPM.
