EU - Non-Absurd books.

I don't mind it. I think scientifically, so I always liked the idea. Plus I do like sure fire ways to differentiate between how good people are compared to other people.

I think Lucas should release a chart that has everyone's counts. That'd be sweet.

It would be helpful that's for sure.

I think that way too, but in my perspective, I always liked to view the Force as some ethereal and omnipotent mystical energy field that formed the backbone of life and "held the galaxy together."

The midi's dimmed down that view.

Yes but at the same time they gave us a reason as to why specific people are more attuned to the force then others. Without midi's then its just "wow your strong in the force" or as Luke says "the force is strong in my family" which kinda makes sense, but kinda doesn't. I dunno, it hasn't changed what the force is at all. I think thats why people don't like the medi's, it seems like it changed everything. But actually it didn't change anything, its still the "mystical energy field" that Yoda and Obi-wan talked about in the OT. The only difference now is that we know how people can feel the force but the medi's do not in any way change what the force is.

That's EXACTLY why I don't like the midi's. "They've brought the Force down to earth." The Force was... cool when it was unknown as to how the Force worked. It had a certain appeal to it like that. Sure the Force works the way it always has, but now, it's become more realistic, and tangible.

And that bugs you? Cause it doesn't bug me at all...

I like your name 😄

Whos name? My name? 😕

yeah.

Yep, it bugs me. The Force has gone from God-like to Keanu Reeves-like.

Although the starwars books written by Timothy zahn are pretty good. Specter of the past and vision are ok...

I don't like the fact that a lot of Clone Wars EU tends to contradict the Jedi Council's guidelines.

Ki-Adi joining when he was a Knight, Saesee never having a padawan, etc....

With a username like Tangible God, I figured you'd like it.

I'd take that over destroying fleets with Force lightning, or manipulating black holes, or blowing up stars. In comparison to the absurd abilities of the NJO/KOTOR/DN/DE era's, a little thing like Saesee not having a padawan seems like a slightly more plausible plot device.

indeed.

Dark Rendezvous is probably the best one ive read so far.
