That's another thing I went my whole life never hearing anyone complain about, until The Internet, and now EVERYONE hates Ewoks and always has.

I hated Ewoks before I knew what the internet was, back when I was a Star Wars fan and didn't know what Star Trek even was. My hatred is real and eternal.

I'm sorry for whatever a random Ewok did to you that has caused such a deep well of sorrow within you, child.

Not my favorite part of the movie but they're hardly something I think about often enough to be bothered by.

Eh, I've moved on. Now I hate Janeway evolving into a salamander with that latent, all-consuming fire.

...

Come to think of it, maybe Star Wars isn't so terrible after all.

I still say that wasn't that bad, or even bad at all.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-27-2019, 01:11 PM

Only in that I think Janeway's kinda hot, and thinking of her having at one time had lizard genitalia screws that whole thing up.

That woman has a handsome jawline, though.

At least the literature side of Star Wars had plenty of weird sh!t.

Jedi Hutts, weird crystal star cult things... I dunno, I actually stopped reading before I got to that book.

I... owned it and skimmed over it. Sort of like the Courtship of Princess Leia.

i'd rather have janeway show up at my door than 7. yeah, I said it. although b'elanna was more my bag.

I actually liked that one okay. Seemed a little 90's, with Force witches riding Rancors, but it was entertaining at least.

I think the Thawne trilogy was still the highlight for me. I petered out with my readthrough around... I think the Corellian trilogy? I stopped before starting those. I had too many other, better and more interesting, books to read.

Janeway wasn't unattractive but her voice... eh, never sat right with me. Seven of Nine I never found super hot.

B'Elanna, yes! Absolutely.

You are out of your gourd, good sir. Though Voyager wasn't lacking in the looks department with any of its female crew.

I think by the time of the Corellian Trilogy I was just buying the novels to have the novels, and officially just skimming through them. Then "Vector Prime" dropped, as did my interest entirely. Pretty sure that's the last SW novel I ever bought.

That was the start to the whole "big bad alien race from beyond the galaxy's edge" storyline, right? The Force-immune guys?

Yeah, that's the one.

I didn't make it that far, but I was expecting to like it. I'm curious, why didn't you?

To be fair, I don't think it was because of anything inside. By that point I was suffering from SW novel fatigue... it was fine when there was, like, 1.5 books out a year, but when they started doing all the Vector Prime stuff and simultaneously books between the prequels, X-Wing books, etc., it was just way too much to keep up with so I threw my hands up and walked away.

I think the last SW books I straight up read read was the Thrawn duology, "Specter of the Past" and "Vision of the Future."

As the resident expert on Star Wars, I can confirm that it looks like sh*t and I have basically no desire to even see this movie.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-27-2019, 03:54 PM

I was unpacking some boxes recently, and I came across my Official Star Wars Encyclopedia that I proudly purchased waaaay back in... 1999, maybe? And I couldn't help but feel sad knowing that like 90% of what's inside of it doesn't count anymore.

Is that the illustrated "Guide to Ships/Characters/etc?" I frickin' loved those. Wish we had the Star Trek equivalent.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-27-2019, 04:19 PM

Nah, but I might have one of those too.

It's the big, $65 hardcover Official Encyclopedia that covers "everything" - movies, novels, comics, etc. etc.

I also have a smaller, softcover "Official Guide to the Star Wars Universe" but it doesn't go into anywhere near as much depth.

That reminds me, I need to update that "Books" thread in the DF, since I recently unearthed a bunch of them. Bet'cha thought I forgot.
