I only read the first one iirc, which was ok. I hear it goes down significantly from there.

But penis ships, make the nerds happy.

Yes. I fucking hate TFU for that.

TFU2 was even worse, story-wise. Never played the games, so dunno if entertainment will make up for it or not. But yeah.

Darth Vader gets captured by the Rebel Alliance at the end of TFU2, thanks to the mighty and awesome Starkiller. lolz

EDIT: And this is before ANH, mind you. I guess they were trying to redefine (yet again) that "first victory against the Galactic Empire" or something. I think. IIRC it's supposed to be Toprawa, but who knows.

Also, for added lolz: They were transferring him to Dantooine to hold him. You know, that place Leia uses as a decoy in the movie?

To be fair, the end of the game has Fett chasing after the ship holding Vader, so maybe they never got there. But if they did, man, Vader is the biggest dumbass in ANH if he didn't immediately call Leia's bluff there. Oh, and she's stupid for making it since it was her idea to hold him Dantooine. So basically the only way to not ruin ANH is for them to have had Vader escape before reaching the base. Otherwise...yeah.

Frankly, I place TFU on the same level as Traviss for "introducing stupid ass shit into the EU".

nerds hate new story because it is new??

Not really. It's just dumb. I mean really. Look at the edit I made expanding on the capture of Vader.

Seriously, that was just...bizarre. Fine, whatever, Starkiller is the Most Important Person Ever to the Rebellion (despite never being mentioned again, ever). Okay, standard EU garbage. But capturing Vader and holding him on Dantooine prior to ANH? Really?

i tried reading the first book but it was more like an infodump of stats than a book

So kinda like reading TBOverse?

I maintain that he was rescuing his ice cream maker, fuck the EU.

I dunno. One thing I will say about that tendency though.

I remember they gave backstory to that "Y-head corvette" that Robert Brown "discovered" (I put in quotes because he may have been the first to notice, I honestly don't know) and tied it in with that General guy from Black Fleet Crisis. Oh and it like killed two Star Destroyers single-handedly or something. I could be misremembering that last part, though.

Anyway, point is it was a lame made up backstory submitted by some jerkoff fan that LFL went and made canon. And I wish I could be there when/if Mister Brown ever sees that, and hopefully his reaction would be hella lolz at how his "discovery" got utterly raped with a backstory that would fit in with some of the lamest of the crap the EU has given us.

Ice cream is serious business in the GFFA.

I just think it's funny that guy actually got an action figure. Unless it was a joke product somebody made and posted on the Internet.

are you seriously saying you didn't know it's an alternate universe

like seriously you played the whole game and thought it fitted in with the movies

are you 100% serious

does it have the infinities label

if not then canon

Look man, non of that shit matters, cause Lucas can come in and squish it when he wants. The canon system is bullshit and useless.

lol

what a political genius

edit: also i am a bbcode genius

i was arguing with some friends last night (well kinda trolling irl actually) but i was saying

AL QUAEYDA has done more POLITICAL CHANGE in america recently than any protest has


so if the occupy wall street fellers want to be listened to they should be blowing shit up and killing ppl




basically what i'm saying is violence is always the answer regardless of the question

Yeah he's fucking brilliant.

Targeted assassinations of bankers and ceo's would work better. [/hpca]

the tpm thread among others make me believe that a lot of people have a hard time seeing even just slightly abstract patterns

Not too long ago, a few of my friends were talking about EVE Online.

Apparently some of them like to do pirate hunting, and were trying to come up with a good name for a decoy vessel to draw them out.

Obviously names like the USS Ackbar or the Kobayashi Maru were way too obvious.

And then someone said "What about that guy who told Ackbar about the enemy ships? What's his name?"

I cracked open Wookiepedia on my phone and looked it up. The guy's name is apparently Verrack.

I guess you could say that it's okay if he has a name. He's more important than ice cream maker guy, since he has a line of dialog and works on the bridge with Ackbar.

But still, why bother?

Got to have a name when you've got a card, and you've got to have a card because they've got to have enough character cards available to compete with Magic for their CCG. Really, like 90% of the really dumb stuff like this comes from the needs of a game or toy.

Brilliant! Then Iran can retaliate against American bases in Iraq, via all those missiles they own. Prompting America into another war Freedom Export.

the TPM thread taught me that when your movie has really ineffectual, weak villains it's kind of shit

TPM itself taught me that SW fans will lie to themselves about racist stereotypes being used for comedy.
