Star Wars

Post by Deepcrush »

The Second largest Scifi fandom in history and we don't have it listed in the "Other movies and tv series". Is it me or is that weird?

P.S.
I have to do this.... :santa:

Its generally covered in the "other" forum.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That just still seems silly. We have B5 with its own and yet its not nearly the same size as SW.

Maybe when the new series starts up it can get its own forum due to the large quantities of threads it will probably wind up spawning, but for now the movies (which no one really talks about since we all know them off by heart) and the EU (which no one reads because it's crap) are covered nicely in the other forum.

It's no more mindless than ENT or nBSG or the original BSG. In fact, with its themes of the fall to darkness and redemption, it arguably has more meaning than the three I mentioned.

The only thing I can't stand about nBSG is it is so depressing. Conversely, if Voyager were this depressing I would have like it more.

I didn't think of doing a Star Wars one when we set the forum up. Probably because I'm not a fan of it myself I guess.

It's not really that big a deal now, as there's not much discussion over it. I think in the past two months we've had two threads over SW: one discussing the Clone Wars film; the other discussing Karen Travis's idiocy.

I imagine that once the new series start up there'll be a fair bit of discussion on here, though, so we may need one in the future to avoid the other sci-fi forum getting cluttered up.

For the Star Wars EU, I just finished the Truce at Bakura, where do I go from here?

Your best bet would be either Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trillogy or Aaron Allston's Wraith Squadron trillogy - they stand head and shoulders above the rest of the early EU.
