So you would maintain that none of the hundreds of Star Wars novels contain ewoks, gungans, or other such cutesie stuff? :yeahright:
No canon novel released in the timeline after Episode IV (Rebellion era and afterward), except the novelization of the movies.
There are non canon novels, and comic books are not cannons.

That doesn't mean they haven't found ways to create some totally boring stories or idiotic characters, but generally, they are ok.  No Gungans afaik.  Not even a reference to a Gungan.  Some reference to Ewoks, but no Ewoks specifically.

I first noticed her in Firefly even and she struck me as hot though...it seemed to be a bit of a guilty pleasure hotness. There`s just something about her which says she`s not quite meant to be hot.

:yes:
Always annoys me how in Star Wars conversations theres always some person starts trying to back up a viewpoint with references to the vong aliens and all that other `official` fanfiction stuff.

I'm watching Sucker Punch. It's full of young, hot chicks. It's also boring me to tears. What a terrible, creepy movie. Seems like it was written by a 13 year old with rape fantasies.

All the novels are canon, even the bad ones ;)
It's been decided so by Da man.

Da man can kiss my ass. He put frigging Ewoks in my ROTJ and Jar-Jar in my prequels.

You know, Star Wars fans should heed Bobcat Goldthwait's advice and get laid.

Authors and editors do make small changes and corrections in their books when they reedit them. Only the anti-Lucas dweebs have nerd fits when Lucas does the same, with his own creation I might add.

:P

I have nothing against him reediting his creation. I hold against him to have put furries and uncool Jamaicans in my childhood and teenage years.

Fuck the extended universe.
Most of the books are very good.
And don't tell me you never enjoyed a Star Wars game? ;)

I've enjoyed many a Star Wars game.

It's just that I couldn't give a crap about consistency with the dozens of shitty paperbacks that have been published in the last 20 years.

Star Wars = the 6 movies.

There are lots of great Star Wars comics also. many better than at least 4 of the movies if not 5.
:p

I liked the opening bathroom mirror scene, but then it went heavily downhill from there...
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
