How: Get a SWG and JTL box. Not the fancy SOE Combined set crap, one of the really old ones. When: They finish the Emulator Client, which will be sometime in 07. Who: Look for the SWGemu site, It's recently gone down but the forums are still up. Where: See Who. They plan to somehow put in some of the more modern content (like the speeders you can share and the many many weapons introduced after the CU) too. EDIT: Remember how annoying those goddamn Selkath were? well, thanks to Wookieepedia I've found out what happened to them in recent Star Wars history. Manaan continued to extract kolto, but the use of kolto dwindled with the rise of bacta some time after the New Sith Wars. Forced to lower their prices, the Selkath lost their greatest bargaining chip. The Selkath attempted to join the Galactic Republic, but corruption and complex interests barred the aquatic world from entering the interstellar union.
With the rise of the Galactic Empire, conflict ensued in Ahto City. Thousands of aquatic assault stormtroopers, two star destroyers, and a mass of orbitally-dropepd depth charges destroyed numerous undersea villages and any hope of resistance.
The Imperial forces destroyed the Order of Shasa and instructed several Selkath in the ways of the dark side of the Force. The Selkath were declared a slave race, and it is even rumored that Emperor Palpatine had a host of Selkath slaves in his household on Coruscant. The Empire built a luxury resort on the world. The kolto was harshly exploited by the Empire, and when the Empire withdrew, most of the kolto had been devoured by the Imperial Army.
...in your face, you kolto eating neutral sea monkies!

The thought of creatures that fear freaking hats becoming Jedi. Ick. Maybe Luke's been a little too easy with the New Order. On a lighter note, Republic Commando is awesome. I really want a sequal. I demand to know what happened to Sev!  .

Also, according to Wookieepedia, the old Jedi Prince kiddie novels are amazingly still canon.
And C-3PX belonged to Darth Maul!
I could be on this thing for weeks! weeks!

I wonder why the 2nd part of IMPS: The Relentless is taking so long?
Last Summer, they were optomistic that by now they'd have posted the entire series.

Screw Anderson, we should lynch the guy who came up with the 'Jedi Cannot Love' and Midicholorians concepts.
The same man who thought the Jedi code was a rule book as thick as a magic tome.

The only Star Wars comics you can download are the frigging KOTOR ones. Oh, and lookie what Nurdy found on Wookieepedia while reading about Hutts: IT BURNS!And yes, It is canon. Hutt Queen. From the late Legacy era, 140 ABY.Star Wars will never be sexy again. Bye bye Leia in slave outfit...

I heard Jabba had a cone bra like Madonna lying around, but he grew too fat for it. I just finished the first two books of the new Legacy era. You'd think by the now the Skywalker/Solo family would see such obvious clues after 40 years of fighting evil Sith and dark Jedi. Still not used to the whole Galactic Alliance thing. Never liked Jacen anyway. Little creep always was all talk and reason. And wow, Poor old Fett. That man never has good luck.

I have the choice between Wookieepedia and a Star Wars Encyclopedia that was pushed out around 98. The Encyclopedia has Luke and Vader dueling with reversed blades and is basically endless reams of tiny text with pictures dotted about.
These books don't know that Thrawn is a chiss.
Also, Zahn is a good EU writer, but not all the EU is crap. Interesting fact about Zahn, he planned for the Noghri to actually be The Sith, until George corrected him. I must read Outbound Flight.
The EU is general is okay. Not good, but if you are into books/comics/games it is worth a check in. The scariest thing about the EU in my own opinion is that the Ewok/Droid cartoons as well as the holiday special actually happened.
By the way, what is the name of the actual Galaxy the whole Star Wars universe is set?
And what about the year? I've always been curious about these things.

One thing that irks me about the prequals was, did the writers actually rewatch any of the original films for source materiel?
In ROTJ, Jabba's subtitles clearly pointed out Bantha Podoo meant Bantha Fodder. Yet in the prequals the word is used in komody moments as silly childish swearword.
Other things that annoy me are the whole Jedi cannot love bullcrap and the fact the Jedi Code seems to be thought as a massive tome full of Space Corp Red Dwarf style rules instead of the simple 6 lined motto we all know.
And the fact they kept using Battledroids as comedy relief.
I seriously hope the guy that helped Lucas write ATC NEVER finds serious work in Holywood ever again.

Well, Nurdbot, the question of which Galaxy is the Star Wars universe is tricky to answer. To answer it, one must think of this as truth:
The film E.T. is possibly a part of Star Wars canon.
Yes, this sounds odd, but let me explain. The Brodo Asogians, or Children of the Green Planet, seen in the Prequel Triology weren't just a cameo. This is expanded on in EU books. The Senator for Brodo Asogia is Senator Grebleips and he is on the Petition of 2000. According to EU, Grebleips funded a voyage to a distant galaxy before the Clone Wars. This voyage is the subject of the film E.T.
Also, in E.T., when E.T. goes trick or treating he says "Home" when he sees a kid dressed as Yoda. And, also, if we go with this idea that E.T. the movie has at least some canon value then we know that the Star Wars galaxy is about 3 million light years away from Earth, as E.T.'s homeworld is 3 million light years away from Earth and E.T.'s homeworld is in the Star Wars galaxy.
So, in short, if you want to know which galaxy The Galaxy is, look about 3 million light years away.
Personally, if E.T.'s homeworld and people are from the Star Wars galaxy, that'd be pretty fucked up. That'd be like saying Greedo shot first or Jar Jar Binks is a part of canon.

Originally posted by tyraniak: So if E.T. is canon, and he made it to Earth before the clone wars, it wouldn't be "a long long time ago in a galaxy far away" it would just be "in a galaxy far away" since ET ttok place in 1982, hell, I'd be alive during the clone wars No. The Green Planet space craft started its voyage around the time of the Clone Wars. It had to travel 3000000 light years to get to Earth. So, when it got here in 1982, it would've been a long time ago when it was launched from a galaxy far, far away. Also, doesn't E.T.'s ship resemble a Techno-Union ship a little?
