	DarthBoba posted: Just as an aside..the Mandalorians do have some vaguely Spartan-esque cultural aspects to them, beyond that none of those jet-pack-toting pansies would've made it through the Agoge. Maybe the Spartan tradition of institutionalized and cultural homsexuality was one of them. Traviss says Mandos are Celts. Not like they would've made it through whatever the Celts called their basic training either. Or any of the other real-world cultures Flanderized into a Proud Warrior Race in fiction. Like, well, yours truly. Though I do think it's funny that eugenics and military service intersect with both the Jedi's relationship with the clones and the US relationship with Indians.

	I hate this change so much, regardless of the fact that it is a rather small change. I, for one, prefer the single-minded hitman/monk Fett that the EU originally portrayed him as. He was a rather unique and interesting character.

	But was he a monk in G-canon? I mean, yeah, he's celibate in Tales of the Bounty Hunters (and that actually was part of his charm), but nothing says so in G-canon.

	I have given this a lot of thought, and have decided it's okay for Boba Fett to be a lady's man. -----signature----- "...that’s not my job, to make people like my movies.

	Honestly, I think Lucas rubberstamps most EU proposals. That's sure how it seems to me. He probably wasn't even thinking when he approved it that he'd have to work within those limitations down the line. Consequently, when the SE rolled around, he just ignored them, because that's how he is. But eh, I've never really minded the human touch it adds to Fett, so take my opinion as you will. -----signature----- "Sci Fi has been associated with geeks and dysfunctional, antisocial boys in their basements with video games and stuff like that, as opposed to... the female audience." ~~ SPOILER-FREE TILLLL EPISODE IV "there aren't that many Ls in til." - farraday

Well, with all the strict rules and regulations you'd have to go through to just to get your story accepted and published - to be accepted as "canon" - you'd think that your material would be taken into consideration when a new series of films go into production. If Lucas never was going to consider the EU when making his films then why not just label them non-canon and avoid any backlash that might result in the first place? -----signature----- Episode I Reimagined : The Beginning http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30317264/p1/?1 ======================================= If KOTOR was any good, it'd be a book.

	Eh, there is no rules and regulations to get your story approved, there is rules and regulations to be approved as author. The story comes afterwards. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

Hey, I like it because before Traviss, Boba was the Mary Sue in many a male-written fanfic. A virginal Fett jossed most of them. Also, it was an inversion of Farmboy in the EU. TwiLekJedi: No rules? You can't have Luke, Leia, or Han die. You can't have them go Sith without George's approval. You have to consult Leland Chee before killing off any character. You can get shavit past the censors, but don't go too hard; I think Invincible is as far as you can go.

	That's what I meant with "the story comes afterwards". DE made it sound like Allston, Denning, Luceno, Traviss write their stories and hope LFL accepts them. According to the many interviews, the actual stories don't get approved as such, but are discussed with Leland, Rostoni and all those other people on the Acknowledgement page. Story ideas have to go through the process, not (nearly) finished works. Maybe I misunderstood DE, but it sounded ... well, wrong. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

I'm aware that complete manuscripts are rarely, if ever, written out before the storyline is pitched to whomever it may concern. I'm just saying that I consider it very inconsiderate for Lucas to completely ignore the work of writers which he himself put his stamp of approval on. It's something of an unfair double standard : EU writers have to conform 100% to the vision of GL - even if what they wish to create doesn't conflict with canon already established at that point - but Lucas himself doesn't have to conform with what others wrote before - even if he approved what they wrote back then! Of course, if Lucas had just said back in Day 1 that the EU was completely non-canon then I wouldn't have a problem. But instead he had to make everything ambiguous, with his convoluted G & C-canons and so on and so forth. -----signature----- Episode I Reimagined : The Beginning http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30317264/p1/?1 ======================================= If KOTOR was any good, it'd be a book.

	So, the timing of TTT and Boba's past was mucked up, but their retcons are a million times better than some of the nonsense that's contained entirely within the EU. And having a few hundred Jedi still running around after they were "hunted down and wiped out" is a bigger offense than even Lucas can willfully (and not just ignorantly, if that's a word) commit.
