I mean, Stackpole did a pretty good start, with the one objection all of us had to the, which can be summed up as: Luke: Kyp, you destroyed an entire star system! Kyp: I know, I'm sorry. I killed my brother. But I was under Exar Kun's influence. Luke: Well, you've been to the dark side and back. Nobody's ever done that, except for my father and myself. I say we make you a Jedi Master! Other Jedi: Sith-kriffin son of a Hutt (insert your own Star Wars curses) (Sometimes I can't help but think Luke unconsciously thinks of Kyp as his son and wants to be a better father than his own. I know, it's not too difficult, since Vader tried to kill him and tortured Leia on more than one occasion.) Anyway, obviously, Death Star is basically a giant retcon of TDAB. ...K...well, anyways, I LIKED it. KJA has a history of bad continuity. It's really not his fault on the DS, TOTJ (retconned by the Ruusan Reformation), or a Jedi more powerful than Luke. It is his fault for the weird Luke/Tionne chemistry in YJK, since he admits to knowing about Luke/Mara but says he couldn't hint to it. Believe me, in light of the prequels, we're going to get a lot more retcon. For starters, the Jedi we knew had relationships. The prequel-era Jedi don't.

CaptainYossarian posted:the idea of a second Death Star being built in a period of 3-4 years is still a problem; it goes beyond credibility that anything the size of a moon could be built in such a short period of time. Even for a galaxy-spanning empire with masses of resources and man-power that they can invest in the project?
