    He encounters the Yuzhan Vong. They capture him and use special tentacles that rape him and impregnate him. The baby is then teleported through time and space into Shmi Skywalker's body, thus making Anakin. Then, Revan escapes. He is caught by the Nightsisters who use Sith Alchemy to steal his awesomeness and give it to Bane. His body is sent back in time, and encased in a droid shell, making HK-47.

    Because Lucas hates Continuity.

    They're likely going to leave it open for some other tie-in somewhere. Maybe a new KotOR, or some kind of novel... Path of Destruction, I think it is, his Holocron he made pre-KotOR1 gets picked up by Bane, and he finds the wreckage of the Star Forge.

    Personally, I'm thinking they're purposefully avoiding closing it, because it means he fails and more than likely is killed.

    @Schrodinger: Oh fuck you till you're cunt bleeds. God damned laws of the universe means Lucas is gonna find this thread, and you know whats gonna happen?! THAT!

    You are a wretched beast.

    Also, Gunagn will be a playable race in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It will be the most popular race, and to celebrate 1 million in-game Gungans, everyone's dialouge in game will be changed to add a "sa" at the end of every word.
    For example, HK-47
    "Statementsa: Killingsa thesesa meatbagssa issa nosa challengesa, mastersa."
    Also, sa will be added to the end of every word in public chat.

    In support of Antivash's statement I return our attention to the FUCKING DINOSAUR JEDI mentioned earlier in this post thread.

    JI: Why Lucas, would you green-light such a thing!?

    GL: Cause fuck you, that's why.

    JI: You don't even know me!

    GL: You still clicked on the article and I made money off that shit.

    JI: I live vicariously through a proxy!!

    GL: How did I know you clicked the link then?

    JI: FUUUUUUUUUUUU- snap-hiss hummmm THE CANON SHALL BE AVENGED!
    ~snip

    And then I woke up in a cold sweat, my soul seared from the encounter for we all know: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

    Relevant to this discussion; RAPTOR JESUS IS A DARK JEDI!

    So. One day Yoda gets bored, right? He decides fuck it. If dinosaurs can be jedi, anyone can! COME HERE, POOKY! Then he starts training his Chihuahua to be a jedi.

    I grew up with the old EU, having read the Thrawn Trilogy and Rogue Squadron books first, (Thank god,) which reinforced Wedge as a favorite character, and then being exposed to the Kevin J. Anderson shit, and other horrible horrible books like the Crystal star.

    as far as the EU goes, I worship at the altar of Allston and Wraith Squadron, which has the motto; Pretty: what do we blow up first.

    I pretty much gave up on the EU after the Aaron Allston Yuzzhan Vong books, which were at least well-written and entertaining.

    My problem with the EU and what SW has become in general, is that EVERYTHING, every new book, video game, or comic seems to revolve solely around the Jedi or the Sith, and angst issues associated with it.

    I mean, Jacen "I'm the closest thing to a hippie in the SW Universe and loves animals" Solo goes all angsty and Darkside and kills a former Emperor's hand?

    Admiral Daala, the idiot who got her position by screwing Tarkin and managing to piss away fleets of Star Destroyers and Superweapons is installed as Chief of State?

    Please.

    I don't know how the rest of you feel, but for me, one of the best parts of Star Wars was that Jedi and force powers, though they were Central to the story, the actions of regular characters like Han, Chewie, Lando, and Wedge made a difference and had an impact, a way to connect with them on a more profound level than you ever could with luke or Obi-wan.

    The prequels had no accessible characters and had overly elaborate battles with no investment. Faceless clones vs faceless droids? who cares?

    now compare the battles of the prequels where Jedi pull out their lightsabers all the damn time and both sides look equally inhuman to the beginning scene in A New Hope when the clearly outmatched and scared Rebel Troopers are preparing to hold the airlock.

    I want my regular, unpowered characters back, and a couple books about rebel or NR soldiers in the Civil war wouldn't hurt either.

    Sorry for the rant.

    Anyway, as far as fic recs for SW goes,

    this guy:

    http://www.fanfiction.net/u/856955/Rigil_Kent

    has some freaking awesome SW stuff.

    and finally, as far as shameless self-promotion goes, ive got a SW/nuBattlestar cross called Rogues' Gallery which brings wedge and pals to the colonials that i may need some advice on if you fellow quality-conscious star wars fans feel up for it. or not.

    wow, that let off some steam.

    We all do, that's why we still saw the prequels. No matter how much they suck, I would still watch them just because I am such a light-saber whore. It is, after all, the coolest weapon invented until now.

    but Damyoureyes is correct in what he says, the Jedi, when they were less, were more interesting.

    Yeah... Youtube has some surprisingly decent (if WAY nerdy) amateur duels..

    Concrete Hustle (The best part is in the info, where they mention not using costumes or dialogue cause it would be nerdish)
    Ryan vs Dorkman
    Ryan vs Dorkman 2 [HD]

    Oh. On a positive note, the Jedi Chihuahua did not become a dark jedi. He was killed. 8D

    Lucas has final say on all material that makes it into canon. As for the lightsaber... I have no fucking clue... Maybe he holds it with one of those big ass ears.. >_>

    How about someone shoves it up his ass? Or better yet, up Lucas's ass? Jar-jar doesn't seem so bad now.

    That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. if it was put in a movie, I could have understand the motivation to sell toys and plushies and what not but in books which only the (somewhat older) fans read? That is stupid beyond words...
