    Yeah, this is why Karen Traviss isn't writing Star Wars books anymore.

    I can't speak much for her most of the stuff she wrote, but I read that one series Legacy of the Force and man it seemed like she just stuffed Mandalorians in at every opportunity

    and they killed Mara fucked that shit

    God, seriously. And with Troy Denning making every one of his books be about insect species, and how crazy everyone that was involved in that Dark Nest shit got, Aaron Allston's books were the only ones that weren't pushing some kind of agenda.

    I've been meaning to make a Star Wars novel thread for a while now. See what other people think of Coruscant Nights, and whether I should bother considering how annoying some of Death Star was.

    Let's be totally honest with ourselves, the "best" of Star Wars EU novels aren't much better than the "best" of any other branded SF/Fantasy novels.

    I guess. I don't really read often, or much at all, so sometimes I don't understand the qualifiers people use for determining how well a book is written or not. I just thought the idea was "Hey can you imagine it in your head?"

    They aren't necessarily "bad", persay, but they're consumerist, literature-lite. They're the popcorn film you go to see to be entertained instead of the thought-provoking work of cinema that the critics liked but is only showing at that dinky locally-owned theater that caters to the college kids.

    Oh no!

    I loved the Mando trilogy cartoon episodes. Plus they actually stayed pretty true to what was already established, with death watch and Mando language.

    Of course it helps that I hate all the Mando love of the Traviss books. I could barely read Order 66 because it feature 1 part Republic Commandoing to 9 parts slopping blow jobs to a amoral merc organization who occasionally tries to murder everyone.

    I still love how they got Jon Faveru to be the voice of Vizla on the show. They were mixing sound at the same studio and he told them that he and his kids loved the show and asked if he could be a voice on it. They said yes if they could see some footage from Iron Man 2, and he agreed.

    Karen Traviss with her own IP stuff (Wess'har Wars!) is wonderful. Pretty sad about the Star Wars kick in the girl parts.

    From what I understand: The stuff of hers that got de-canon'd was the Republic Commando stuff though, not the Legacy of the Force series. Although there's stuff from Legacy of the Force that's no longer canon because it was based off that republic commando stuff but it's mostly still canon. It's actually sorta confusing in that Boba Fett is still alive during Legacy of the Force due to clone life extension research that was meant to happen in the republic commando continuity that isn't going to be made anymore.

    I can't even say why Traviss left now. First she said it was because she couldn't write about Mandalore, then it was a contract dispute, then it was a problem with the live action series, then it was a terrible WW II analogy. I don't know what the latest excuse is.

    And considering she changed things left and right, I don't think she can really talk.

    By the third time, you can't call it falling into the Sarlacc pitt. He loved that shit. It was his home.

    Ahh star wars books.

    At one point I actually had the star wars encyclopedia....and read it. Had a huge nerd boner for the Thrawn series too (I thought they should be the basis for movies 7, 8, and 9).

    My only saving grace is that I was young and that phase ended before it did much permanent damage.
