Lit Misconceptions you had... EU version

Obi-Wan has been a liar since 1980.

 

So true. "Vader... betrayed and murdered your father." Uhhh sorry Master Kenobi, it didn't quite happen like that.

 

That's your perceptions. I don't agree.

 

There was no need to deceive Luke. Oh, wait, yes there was, because he wanted Luke to do the botched job he should have done properly 20 years beforehand.*

*I'm not saying Obi-Wan should have necessarily killed Anakin, but he might as well have.

Well, when I first heard of the One Sith, I thought it was a group of Sith where everyone was their own master. I also thought Darth Maladi was a near-Human or a Sith hybrid, although I had never heard of Devaronians before I dug deeper.

Huh.

 

Honestly, I believe he had a good reason to lie. It protected Luke. I just enjoy making fun of Obi-Wan because he's one of my favorite Jedi. And well, a lie is a lie, so he is still technically a lier.

 

"Ar", me hearty.

 

Yeah Qui-Gon is my favorite, but

 

Lol. Yes he was pretty terrible. No wonder Obi-Wan failed Anakin. With such a master, who can blame him.

 

"Credits will do fine."

"No, THEY WON'T!"

Qui-Gon wasn't really trying to mind-trick Watto; he felt guilty about trying to cheat him so he faked it just for appearances' sake.

 

This is a misconception brought about by a toy (They actually had micro-machine sets based on some of the early EU books... Truce at Bakura, Heir to the Empire, and Jedi Search), but for the longest time, I kept imagining Dreadnaughts like the Katana fleet to look like the Ssi-Ruuk egg-shaped ships.

On a related note, basically every other ship I imagined to look like a Nebulon-B frigate.

I used to think that the Jedi were much less monolithic than they later became, and I certainly never imagined anything as horrible, stagnant, and ill-conceived as a Jedi Council based on Coruscant.

 

I also had a misconception about those same three micro machine sets. I believed they were based on the future episodes 7-9, starting with Heir to the Empire and ending with Truce at Bakura. I thought this for about 9 years. At that time I had just begun reading Star Wars novels and was starting the Thrawn Trilogy. I was looking at HTE's cover and I thought it looked similar to a toy set I had when I was younger. I hardly remembered those sets, but looked them up online and found all three. That sent me on a mission to read the other two books (and here sequels). What's weird is thag now I can look back and remember who each figure resembled.

 

Ooh, and, on a related note to my earlier post, for the longest time, I imagined Interdictor cruisers to look like the Arc Hammer from the first Dark Forces game. Absolutely no reason why, it's just what I pictured in my head.
