The Haters' Community

This thread is an example to all other threads. Truly a child of genius.

It's only fitting that the retired Emperor should get 200th reply.

I'd just like to echo what ImpG and Spider have said regarding canon. I don't consider any of the EU to be the true story of Star Wars. Only George Lucas can create this, IMO. I just like to read the EU as it's interesting to see how other people try to continue and expand upon the story. A lot of it is entertaining. In terms of how valid it is, I place it on the same level as fan fiction.

 

I hate the people who say things like the SSD is 17.whatever km long, when LFL says its 12.8km. Retards. They give those stats out so it's easier to comprehend what your reading, not-

hold on. good song on the radio-

-to second-guess. It's pretty dumb. Same with Essential Guides. It makes reading easier, not to confuse you. People look at SW too much.

Personally, I don't care too much for the movies. I'd rather take NJO. Just my cup of tea. I think they're meant for all audiences, which is fine, but dillutes it. Ewoks, Jar Jar, R2, Space Tours, but it's just something thats not for me. The NJO is designed for people like me, and is more adult. I find it alot more fun to read, anyways, since they last longer. Does anybody watch TPM anymore. No, and I'm embarassed I have the movie.

 

I'm tempted to kill you, KN

I don't think TPM is as good as the other movies, but I still own it on video and DVD. I don't watch it anymore, but that's not to say I never will again. Infact, I'll probably watch it prior to viewing AOTC.

But to choose EU over the movies? Never. If I had a choice between reading the rest of the NJO or seeing EpII & III, I would choose the movies without batting an eye lid.

 

This is my first post in this forum but I would like to say that I hate any and all Fett's

 

Take your shoes off and stay awhile, Riven. I agree with what you say, as well.

Barns: the prequels are soiled. It's too dumbed down. Of course I'll see them, but if I had a choice between the NJO series and the prequels, I'd choose the NJO. You have to realize, I didn't become a fan from watching the OT. That just opened the door for me. I didn't become fascinated until playing the X-wing games, then reading the X-wing Series. I'm more objective to the EU. I don't believe in this 'GL is the cretor so whatever he does SW, goes blah blah' crap. I just see SW Universe started by him, but I don't think that everything he does is the best.

 

You're not alone in that line of thinking, KN. I think GL might redeem himself with AOTC though. I watched the new Making Of this morning, and it's got me more interested than I'd previously been.

 

Well, I disagree, but I'd just like to say that Tie Fighter is a great game and the best in the X-Wing series.

 

Hehe, I win!

...fruitcakes...

 

Is it me, or has The Haters' Community turned into a The Haters' Cult. Seems us three are the only ones who hate on a day-to-day basis.

 

Well screw you all!!!!!!!

I think everyone who posts here (or who doesn't post here as the case may be ) has the same lazy attitude as us. I can never be bothered to write long posts about my views anymore, and I sure as hell can't be bothered to read them. I haven't read DJ yet. When I do, I'm sure I'll have something to say which will bring new life to this place. Or I may not be bothered to. We'll see.

 

The longer it takes to type a post, the less I want to finish it.

 

Laziness in the EUC, brought to you by KansasNavy.

 

I try to post in here, but the hate just inst here anymore. I post something at 11:24, the next person to post after me is something like 4:39, its not fun when it takes hours to get a second post in here.

 

See what I mean? I post and no one else does.............................

 

My most heartfelt apologies, Xen. I just didn't have much to say in the way of a response to the post you made last night.

No, let's not do that.

 

Hmm... a thread dedicated to EU hatred?

I have finally found my home.

(As you can probably tell, I've never even ventured onto the EU boards in my time here.)

 

Welcome, Plumber. Share your thoughts with us.

 

I cant wait for Allston's duology. But dont be blue, btfj, Dark Journey is by far the worst NJO book.

 

I can believe that. It centres around Jaina and her pathetic fling with the darkside. How interesting.

//yawns.

 

Just dropping in --

Dark Journey wasn't very good, but I still have high hopes for Allston's duology. He's the thirds best (after Zahn & Stackpole) to write SW, and I know he'll do a good job.

Did any of you read The Approaching Storm? It was (surprisingly) pretty good. I definately enjoyed it, but unlike most people I like political intrique. Give it a read if you haven't yet, it will hold you over until we get more NJO.

Also, are you guys going to read AOTC before the movie? I'm still not sure if I will or not. I already know enough spoilers that it wouldn't ruin anything for me, but I'd rather wait to see the movie first, instead of letting the book form an impressionof it before I even see AOTC.

P.S. Check out my new story (see link in sig).

 

I disagree. I liked Dark Journey. I could live with not having to read space battles. Very easily, in fact. Although I'll make an exception if Aaron's writing them. He's the only reason I have any hope or interest left in the NJO. Other than that, I'm bored with it. I can't even be bothere to hate SBS because I have no real motivation to read it. I have no desire to cough up any money for it. I'm starting to really dislike Del Rey. NJO is a bore, I have zero interest in their prequel novels...sad to say I'm actually starting to miss Bantam. EEK!
