"For the Most Part the EU Makes Sense If We Can Just Forget About a Few Incredibly Stupid Things"

I'm pretty sure I said how much I hate you guys earlier in this thread. You just had to go and make me write that song, didn't you now?

[starts rocking out to Yellowcard's "Sure Shot" on a conveniently placed e-guitar]

We've spent years on this
That is why our hygiene is a mess
They say get a job, yeah well this is our hobby and oh god my house is on fire
Purists abound, beat us up, smack us down, but we fight back like drunk Mandalorians (FOR CLAN ORDO, BEEYOTCH!)

And I say, the EU media makes lots of sense
If we forget about some grade-A ****
Our retcon powers swat it down like gnats
Glove of Darth Vader, what the hell was that?

[violin-age]

Star Wars is our life
That might be why we'll never have a wife
All of the babes avoid our days in our caves
Just sitting there staring at the computer
From Ryloth to Naboo, I've got my eyes on you
Don't you think that sounds just like a stalker?

That makes no sense, but fans are dense
We're finding out that they're all smashed
That's why we get their cash...we get their cash...uh-oh.
Quick, retcon that!
Let's retcon that!

And I say, the EU media makes lots of sense
If we forget about some grade-A ****
Our retcon powers swat it down like gnats
Glove of Darth Vader, what the hell was that?



YES!

That's the song!!!

I know there are Boba fans who won't agree with me on some things, but I treat Boba as a real man reacting as real people do in the context of his background and experiences. (My first reader has seen the first chunk of this and it works, I understand.) But he's still as badass as he ever was, because some things are embedded in his psyche. You see much more of his "inner life", though.

Okay, I came out as Mando Fangirl ages ago. I'll treat him right - but with the realism I can't avoid. I don't know any other way of doing it, and I don't believe in supermen. In fact, I like regular people who win through sheer guts a lot better than those who start life with the full pack and more.


I Guess that means Boba get his getupponence and receives a mace like beating(Shatterpoint).





I'd be curious to know how you arrived at that conclusion from what I've said. It makes no sense to me, I'm afraid.

I think Boba's endured more than his fair share of set-backs already, and that's not counting getting temporarily imprisoned in a semi-sentient digestive tract with a mouth and the personality of DarthJohnKenobi.

hyperactive imagination. grin . thats twice now that my interpretations were wrong...

I think your belief or lack thereof in the ubermensch and your advanced regret towards fans who might not like your way of looking at boba... regret might not be the right word nor emotion though. Plus, my assumption of what would make fans not like your rendition of a guy who can go through a imperial garrison with minimal trouble.

nothing but amateurish interpretation. feel free to override.

Is this a response to what I said? Because if it is, you've read it all wrong.

I think I have to draw a line under discussing upcoming books. Please don't take it the wrong way, but I've tried to answer everyone's questions as honestly as I can without spoilers. (I'm not actually supposed to discuss unpublished stuff at all.) But I now find my pretty bland answers being interpreted as something far more significant - not sure how, because I thought they were clear, but obviously they weren't - and I'm very uncomfortable with that. Sorry!

I'm not taking part in the LOTF thread for the reasons I've said before; I'm writing the books and I can't get into discussions about detail.

Not to worry Karen. It was in response to Razzy, not you.

I think that's more or less inescapable where SW fans are concerned. tongue

I can't decide if it was my finely-crafted Marxist polemic or when I showed him the interesting photos I have of Obi Wan.

Ask him. I'm not sure, to be honest. I'd like to think it was the sheer rational power of my argument on accountable democratic governance.

FoM: They're ARC-Nulls (or Null-ARCs, I forget). They play a role in TZ, and IIRC Karen isn't saying anything, mainly because she's evil.

Communist! tongue
