He tells me that the idea was good, but he says he doesn't give the slightest shit about Cassian and only liked the Mon Motha parts that he felt were adding something to the existing Canon.

Take that as you will.

Not to say I HATE Disney. Cuz Jedi and Outlaws are pretty darn good on their own, but I think stuff like Star Wars: Resistance and Visions are not what I had in mind back in the day. Then again, neither was midichlorians. Lmao

for the most part, Disney are just as guilty of whatever Lucas would've done. Star Wars: Underworld and 1313 in particular being case studies for possibly unneeded content. Sure, we already had an idea of the underworld in Bounty Hunter, but I imagine they would've gone overboard with the idea.

I hate that Rhapsody one. The main character was such a little bitch I wanted to punch him till his head came off.

I think it's the same problem Lucas was oblivious to, where the side material was overly ancillary, required or not, and is usually very inconsistent, usually more quantity than quality. I'm not convinced Disney is much better.

What else did they have, tho? Legit question, asking for a friend.

I still think the kid actor was more believable than adult Anikin, ironically enough.

And as a son of a guy who's a downright hardcore EU nerd, I think they're just as capable of making a RC sequel, books or no books, provided they actually study what people LIKED about RC, whereas the KOTOR remake will probably do what FF7R did and turn it into a generic action game.

That's what made Republic Commando good. They even had a joke referencing A New Hope.

"An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, huh? Well, guess what: TIMES HAVE CHANGED!"

Good shit, although I bet not everyone would've wanted the sequel Imperial Commando.

I think ego rules the day in The Fandom Menace. I used to play into their hands, but honestly, I'm going open season now that the mask has been removed and it's full on nostalgia-blinded rage-bait out of it. That said, Outlaws got caught in their crosshairs.
