Spaarti Clone Cylinders in Episode II

Keep that in mind when viewing them and then go back to the galaxy eating machines and purple bunnies later.

Hrmph!

That's six-foot tall carnivorous GREEN bunnies, thank you very much!

 

umm, maybe because he was being hostile & calling bashing the EU in the EU forum?

If I went onto the P(SA) and started saying things like that about GL and the films, I'd be banned in 2 seconds flat.

"Even if they're not directly referred to as Spaarti Cylinders, having them grown in tubes is great as it doesn't screw up Zahn's continuity too much."

Durnit, it was Dark Empire who "wrote the book" on Star Wars EU cloning! Veitch and Kennedy's EU cloning continuity (including tubes) was there first before Zahn's continuity!

So, if people are going to talk about screwing up continuity, at least include Dark Empire there as well.

Bashing is trolling? ?

 

Genghis12:

I try as often as possible to block from my memory the nightmare that was Dark Empire.

 

Merk...

At the time I made the post there were no so-called purists in the thread, therefore no flame. And what I said was true- when Ayla Secura first popped up, over in the PSA thread, they were, yep, you guessed it, pissed off about it.

 

Who cares? These rivalries are quite pathetic.

I am inclined to agree, Barns, however, to this date ONLY ONE of the so-called purists has successfully explained why they dislike the Expanded Universe. Comments like 'it sucks' or 'Dark Empire (or another title) was awful' doesn't cut it.

Commander Antilles comments to me some months back were a detailed enough explanation and perfectly valid. AAMOF- Padme Bra and Commander Antilles are two of 'other side' that I have a tremendous amount of respect for, if not as fans, then as Mods- they have never once failed to handle a problem in Lit when asked, even though its not their domain. It's the person who says 'EU = P-U, it sux!!!!!' that I define as a purile and have no respect for. I don't doubt for second that Commander Antilles or Padme Bra are just as passionate about Star Wars as I or Genghis or Sturm or Merk is, but that passion has two different directions, one equates as just the movies, the other equates to everything.

 

More to the point, why must this purist bashing persist too, and appear in this thread first?

If more Purists presented their thoughts like IronParrot does, I wouldn't have any reasons to complain about their actions.

It just seems that, to me, Purists often act out of ignorance ( "The EU contradicted the movies because in the BFC, Luke's mother is Nashira" ), fear ( "If I hear the word 'Mandalorian' in AotC I am going to puke..." ) and hate ( "KJA sucks!" ). The Dark Side, if you will.

Completists also draw powers from the dark side as well. They become angry at the Purists attacks and lose their resolve and patience. I've done this before myself. But, in most cases, a lot of us present our thoughts in a constructive manner.

Both sides in the conflict have their problems, but, IMO, whoever has their heart in the right place, holds the upper hand.

It would be interesting if there actually were Ysalmiri "offscreen" in enclosed cages of some kind connected to the cloning tubes to tie things together.

But that was an idea of Thrawn's. Ysalamiri, as far as we know, weren't used in the Clone Wars era. But I do like your idea 2ndQuest.

 

Clones are fun.

 

Damn...brilliant idea. Let's hope that one of the authors who explain this use similiar tact.

 

Any one ever wonder if the Arkanians had anything to do with the Clone wars and clone tech.

 

WEll,I got back a reply to my email. Here we go:



"This sounds very plausible, and while I'm not aware of any sources that have inserted "Spaarti" into EpII material as of yet, it's probably only a matter of time. There are a lot of SW reference-writers who would love to smooth over this bit of continuity in the name of a unified universe. Heck, maybe I'll even get a shot at it. "

No,I won't say who it is.

Oh and if one goes by my theory, it's flash learning that causes the madness. Perhaps the Force somehow makes it unstable.

Probably not. Their expertise seems to be cyborging.

Dan The Man?

I like that theory. That could be why the clones seen in the "Breathing" trailer are learning at basically normal human levels through standard means.

 

yes, very very small details of the EU are making it into AOTC.

but a huge thing like Boba Fett's past is getting rewritten. hmm, guess GL can change the Eu to sit his purposes. what does that tell you?

 

Who said anything about Fett's past being rewritten?

 

Yes, since when (besides in AotC) have we ever known anything about Fett's childhood?

 

jaster mereel. thats the Eu verson. its in for an overhaul.cant say i am sorry.never cared for it. other people should not get to do the origins of characters like boba fett, that is reserved for GL.

 

"jaster mereel. thats the Eu verson. its in for an overhaul.cant say i am sorry.never cared for it. other people should not get to do the origins of characters like boba fett, that is reserved for GL."

What in Episode II contradicts this? It obviously took place later on in Fett's life. What's the big deal?

 

Correct. There is absolutely nothing in Episode 2 that contradicts Fett's already written past. I think this falls under the "ignorance" category.

 

oh my God. if you people are actually trying to fit this in to continuity, then you have a serious disease. why would he change his name and go to concord dawn? dont try to do thid, i beg you.
