The Official Death Troopers Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

188 pages? Seriously, Del Ray?

 

Is that Jedi just something that they put on for the Galaxies poster or is that going to be in the book?

 

Well, as it's an Imperial Dungeon Ship and it's called Purge, I'm hazarding a guess that the mad scientist may be screwing with imprisoned Jedi.

 

Where is Super Trooper on that playlist?

 

I'm still surprised they made a Star Wars horror novel, even though so far it sounds and looks like just a typical horror/zombie novel/movie. Oh well, at least its not part of the FotJ stupidity (had more than enough of that already), and hopefully it'll be competently written (or better). Funny to see something with a Star Wars Galaxies symbol though, as it sorta seems like they're already gearing up for the Old Republic (with how they shut down some Galaxy servers recently). Here's hoping its a good novel (and at least its the right month for this kind of thing).

 

I wanted to wait for the PB, but right now I'm wondering if I shouldn't just get it over with while the hype is still warm, maybe it'll be more fun that way. I haven't read a SW book in ages, and I even started to neglect Rebel Force and the Digest comics which I both intend to collect. Maybe just for the fun of it...

...but I'm still not sure if it will be worth it.

The default Galaxies character is hot blue Twi'Lek Jedi (you know, all that "if I'm playing this game for hours no way I'm gonna look at a male PANTS all the time"), so I guess it probably isn't taken from the novel.

Now that you mention it, this novel is in serious danger of falling into the Ruins Of Dantooine category. Without even remotely being as boring.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out how Coldplay's epic emotional outburst will fit into a zombie horror context. OK, they did ZombAid, but that was a bit different than combining "I don't want a battle from beginning to end" with Star Wars.

 

Dramatis Personae

Aur Myss; prisoner (Delphanian male)
Jareth Sartoris; captain of the guard, Imperial Prison Barge Purge (human male)
Kale Longo; teen prisoner (human male)
Trig Longo; teen prisoner (human male)
Waste; 2-1B Surgical Droid
Zahara Cody; chief medical officer, Imperial Prison Barge Purge (human female)

(any/all errors mine)

 

Ohh, no Han or Chewie on the DP, good, good. Maybe they're just marketing cameos after all.

 

There better be a game based off this...

 

Dark Forces: Death Troopers, starring Kyle Katarn, a Bryar, and a whole lot of zombies.

 

ZombAid was pure win, that was so hilarious. I laughed so hard when they were pointing out famous rockers turned zombie, like Paul Mccartney, etc.

I hope this book doesn't suck

 

FotJ stupidity

i think FOTJ is awesome

 

Sweet

 

Please for the love of God, no. The last thing we need is Galaxies actively trying to bungle all new storylines.

 

Oh, I don't know. They might create a happy accident. They can't bungle Mando history more than it's already bungled, for instance. They can't cluster-thingo the reprisal at Yavin IV... I'm sure they'll accidentally fix something somewhere. Hell, a Galaxies version of Allegiance might be actually fun or something. You never know.

And for kicks, let's sic Sony on the Battle of Ruusan and see if they decide to let a Wookiee Pernicar survive the battle.

 

Waste of effort. I want them concentrating on the adventures of Mr. T(hrackan).

I don't know about you, but that's one zen Mr. T.

 

No, that's Orthodox Jewish Mr. T.

 

Wow so the chief medical officer is actually going to know whats going on, but will she live to tell dun dun duun. Isn't that how it goes, the medical person usually only has a vague idea and lives, or knows everything and dies?

 

I was thinking more "Left 4 Dead" meets "Star Wars"...
