Moff Mon Mothma

Would a Sith lord who was also a Moff be a Moff Darth or a Darth Moff?

Sith neophytes sitting around coming up with badass Sith names must be very similar to black metal kids.

I once read a book about Darth Plagueis. It was terrible.

Generally the expanded universe stuff published before TPM came out are okay

Like the Timothy Zahn books from upthread

I'd stay the hell away after anything published after 2000 unless it was by an author established to have Done Good Work for the canon

, Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:36 (nine years ago) link

yeah well none of it's canon now so might as well burn the lot

The Rise of Darth Vader, the only one I've read, wasn't bad as far as slash fic goes.

Yeah, the Timothy Zahn books were good, and I enjoyed that Bounty Hunters collection. The Plagueis one was from a couple years ago, really put me off reading any more EU books.

basically the only thing I can remember from the Zahn trilogy is that they made a clone called Luuke

Grand Admiral Thrawn would view your DeviantArt account and then use that to figure out how to beat you

My favorites are the short story collections that fill in the backstories of all the characters who basically only existed to sell action figures. IIRC, the one centered around Jabba's palace revealed that most of the background dudes had their brains harvested and placed in robotic spider bodies.

Hamhole and Fly Eyes (Old Lunch), Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link

A Mofference was a secret conference held by the Imperial Central Committee of Grand Moffs in the secluded Mofference room of their Moffship.

Come on now.

ledge, Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:52 (nine years ago) link

That reminds me, back in the 90s, pre-TPM, I had this really elaborate screen saver package thing that had all these nutso, in-depth things to play around with. Like you could pull up a screen shot from the cantina sequence and click on all the characters and it would give some in-depth bio about them. Thought it was really cool at the time, but for the like of me I can't remember what it was called.

Mofference = the Shriner's Convention of the Star Wars universe

that's mofful!

story I remember from Jabba's Palace is the one about the "snot vampire"

was written in an annoying stream of consciousness style iirc

Number None, Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link

Uh, I believe you're actually talking about the Dannik Jerriko story from Tales From The Mos Eisley Cantina.

I think. I dunno. WGAF.

Hamhole and Fly Eyes (Old Lunch), Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link

hey i lost track of this thread, but DJP if you're still reading i want to encourage you to watch the redlettermedia reviews despite the fact that they're not mst3k (and yes despite the terrible misogyny)

the biggest eye-opener for me was how he lays out in excruciating detail the physical limitations of filming everything on a green screen sound stage to the point that no one ever moves anywhere at a speed above a light trot

gr8080, Thursday, 4 December 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link

I know I read Shadows of the Empire, the Rogue Squadron books, I, Jedi, the Jedi Academy books, and the Bounty Hunters collection where IG-88 is secretly the MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER EVAR. That's it I swear.

jmm, Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link

Yeah that IG-88 story was great. My wife bought our three year old this Star Wars counting book and for the '7' page it shows the bounty hunters (plus a couple from the stupid prequels). IG-88 is his favorite, followed by Zuckuss.

"It doesn't matter if this story is ridiculous and way disproportionate to the importance of this character, as long as it doesn't contradict existing canon."

jmm, Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link

i was always a dengar fan, because for some reason every kid had to have a favorite weird looking bounty hunter who showed up for one scene

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link

Dengar is the dude with the head cast, right? I remember reading he was Corellian too.

i bought his trading card off ebay using actual money

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link

Bossk! He was the second action figure I got, after, er, Hammerhead.

as long as it doesn't contradict existing canon. as long as we can find enough margins and empty space in the existing canon to force it to cohere."

jmm, Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:08 (nine years ago) link

Hammerhead and Walrus Man and Power Droid were the three action figures I basically integrated into very universe for the next six years.

Always thought Bossk looked like an x-wing pilot.

Christmas, 1980, I received my first ever Star Wars toys. A bit behind others itt, I'm sure, but I was 4 at that point.

that star destroyer toy is kind of a weird experiment in scale/perpsective

18th Century Celebrity WS of Shame (Hurting 2), Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:19 (nine years ago) link

Er, it just represents a small part of the craft, no? Though they seem to have amalgamated the command deck and Vader's chill out pad.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:20 (nine years ago) link

Yeah that toy design concept is kind of a mess. Still would have loved it as a kid.

Evan, Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:22 (nine years ago) link

always wished Vader's chill out pad came equipped:

Bet there are some heavy metal posters stuck to the inside of the top bit of that pod thing.

No way, those would interfere with the Pink Floyd laser light show.

"It doesn't matter if this story is ridiculous and way disproportionate to the importance of this character, as long as it doesn't contradict existing canon."

You are making some insulting assertions about the importance of these characters (hint: they are ALL important, even if you don't know why).

They did this with most of the toys. The Death Star just cobbled together a few scenes:

possibly spoilery

Boyega plays a “force-sensitive” stormtrooper who defects from the Empire and ends up stranded on Tatooine, where he is hunted as a deserter.

which if true hopefully means he makes a major costume change at whatever point the defection kicks in

nashwan, Thursday, 4 December 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link

is that like gluten-sensitive? you have it but you don't have it?

when did Bodega appear?
