I'll tell ya this...
I'd rather read THAT than any given Star Wars novel at the bookstore.
Seriously, I was in Barnes and Noble a while back and saw a section devoted to nothing but SW novels. There must have been 100 or more different fucking books! How do these people write this shit?
Looks interesting... I need to get back into the expanded universe.
Also, you're from Wales... me too! :D
@Braunofthedead - Yeah, theres a silly ammount of Star Wars novels and I wouldn't be suprised if most of them are utter shit.
@Mikey - Glad to see some another Welsh Dtoider :D I added you to friends, but i hope we can become more, over time...lovers even..i love you Mikey :)
This makes me wonder what other genres Star Wars has crossed over to. There's got to be a Star Wars porno somewhere right?
What part of Wales you from?
Port Talbot, in the South. How about you?
Hmm...intriguing...
@XYU
:O No waaaay!
I used to live in Port Talbot, studied IT in Margam College! I also used to work in The Wayside (before it changed to Academy) I live in Newport now! :D
@ArrestedDeveloper
Lightsaber dildos. Someone had to come up with that idea before this moment, don't you think?
@Mikey - OMG...dude, i work right next door to Margam college....In Dyffryn School. It's a small world eh.
That's actually nuts man, i hate the Academy BTW! £1 a pint on Friday nights, except it takes on hour to get served.
Also, you have mad skillz drawing, man.
id like to see the story behind all those injured/front line stormtroopers.
like disabled stormtroopers with missing/robotic limbs. guys that once were top stormtroopers are now alcoholics and drug users because there disabled now after being sent to hoth and getting blasted in the spine by a blaster rifle from han solo.
I've only read a couple Star Wars books, and the only one I really enjoyed was that "Tales from Jabba's Palace" collection of short stories. There was some cool shit in there...
Anyways, this looks like a Star Wars book in years that I might pick up. I'd want some more details, but I'm halfway sold just on the Star Wars with horror theme alone...
@XYU
I got offered a job in Dyffryn! As an trainee IT technician! The world isn't just small... it's miniscule!
And yeah... Academy was rubbish. When it was The Wayside I used to rule that place.
Glad you like my work! :D
Hot damn, I will most definitely read this book.
Though I haven't even scratched the surface of the extended SW universe, the handful of novels I didread were quite enjoyable. Like ZombiePlatypus noted, the "Tales" books (especially the Bounty Hunters) were always intriguing in how they intertwined with the plots from the trilogy.
Now, if only we could get a more mature, literally M-rated, Star Wars game (without any of Lucas's pandering to toddlers in hopes of addicting another generation while still in the cradle) then we probably wouldn't have seen such disappointments in games like Force Unleashed.
It had everything going for it except ridiculous design decisions. Lightsabers should dismember limbs.
There's so much potential for incredible things within the extended Star Wars universe, yet it's almost consistently overlooked in favor of more childish themes.
I do want to read this book.
