The continuing adventures... post #1  quote:



I know there are a lot of books, games, etc. that have expanded the Star Wars universe. What are some good storylines that you've read or heard about?

Also, what are some of your ideas about a new chapter in the Star Wars saga?

-HECK!

When I was in high school, I started a manuscript based on Star Wars. It had a Storm Trooper realize he had the force... of course, that was before Lucas made them all clones, so there goes that!

I dunno, I have only read two star wars books and both are moot now, they are contradicted by the new movies,

so I see no reason to read any of them, if they can't keep anything straight, just a waste of time.

If I wrote anything or surmised anything, I would move away from the Jedi vs remnants of the empire, that ship done sailed.

I would move into Luke exploring where the Jedi came from, why they exist,

the founders of it,

get into their background, where the Sith came from,

Why the Sith want revenge,

Luke setting up a new Jedi academy, training Jedi, etc. etc.

Lucas said recently in an article, that most of the Storm Troopers are still clones in ep 4,5 and 6, but that a lot of humans have joined in with the ranks, over the years, so it's not a pure clone army anymore,

so your story will still work.

I think the best in the Expanded Universe are the novels by Timothy Zahn


Love is a very powerful force, especially when its formed into a coherent beam of death.

Timothy Zahn started it with the Heir To The Empire trilogy. Since then there have been a lot of books by different authors.

They even killed off Chewie and one of Leia & Han's kids.

I visited Skywalker Ranch prior to the last movie's release and heard through a very reliable source that there will indeed be a Star Wars television series that Lucas will focus on in the future.

This may have made the news by now (I couldn't find anything in a quick search), but at that time this was only rumor and speculation.

I think it would be cool to have a film or book based on Yoda training Count Dooku. Look for it soon.

Agreed, I heard this too. I wonder why there were such dismal shots in the OT though. Although they did disable the hardrive alot of times and massacred those guys in ANH, but they couldn't hit any of the heroes for squat.

That's cool. Hope he doesn't have a Jar-Jar type character tagging along.

I think their life sucks. Working on death stars, taking out hyperdrives, shooting laser guns and missing all the time at hero's like you said, but hitting the sand people and jawas.

I bet the new troopers look down on the clones as stupid, and ignorant, and the clones must age too, lots of them getting older, in thier 60's and 70's,

what a sucky existence.

The only cool ones were the Dark Troopers.
