Oops

Listen, I havn't read any of the books. So what the hell happens after the movies? Who dies? Throw me a freakin' bone here!

Big Chewie has bitten the dust I'm afraid. But Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc so there's a bonus.

If your gonna start reading em, ease yourself in with the "tales of": -

Mos Eisley Cantina
The Bounty Hunters
Jabba's Palace.

All short, interwoven, stories that relate to characters seen on sceen from the movies (however brief thier appearance!).

Chewie is dead? Damnit! What's up with that? How did he die?

Hmmm, well it's all rather complicated but basically a moon fell on him...

Part of The New Jedi Order...

A moon fell on him? What the. ? . ?

Chewie, if you see a moon headed toward you, get out of the way!

Would you believe it if I said he stood defiantly watching the moon approach?

Honestly, it's true...

Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc

(shakes head sadly)

This is where the EU starts to lose credibility, you know?

How did Fett escape the Sarlack? We saw him go into it, and then it burped.

That's retarded if they say he escaped. That's like saying the death star didn't blow up at the end.

Don't dismiss it without reading the story dude, he's half digested and escapes kinda in the same way he ends up in there - down to something in his jet pack going off.

If you like that story then you can find out more about how he escapes Tatooine when he's on deaths door if you read the Bounty Hunter Trilogy. Although that is a heavy read in my opinion cus' all the plotting, double and triple crossing can be hard to keep up with. 😕

He came out of the Sarlacc whitout clothes and the bounty hunter wich found him nursed him for 3 months

I mean, did his demise in ROTJ leave you with any doubt that GL wanted him dead?

The EU did a lot better when it stayed away from recycling old foes.

loosing Boba was a good move, untill I saw that he came back in the eu 🙁

Which book is it that Fett escapes the Sarlacc?

yerssot, I hope you're joking about this bounty hunter witch. You are, arn't you?

Is the blair witch gonna bring back Palpatine?

Why can't authors come up with a character of their own?

Yerssot means the Bounty hunter THAT found him, Tomacco. Although Foce Witch ARE in the EU (just ask Edna...)

But you are right. The return of Boba Fett and the cloned return of the Emeror were not exactly the high points of the EU.

Luckily, many other EU books have successfuly brought in decent enemies of their own.

when we aren't talking about a superweapon

Well, I am trying not to put him off too much...

But yeah, the superweapons weren't great either.

so what's left now?

Plenty. There is a VERY large amount of EU.

And as most will tell you, the NJO series is quality indeed. Though I haven't actually read any of it myself.
