Fate of the Jedi Series (Post-LOTF)

i mean on representing my position

Truejedi happily accepts PIS when it pertains to behaviors and actions that contradict his status for the beloved Luke Skywalker, but not when the same occurs to stormtroopers.

Truejedi was going round and round in circles with me, not comprehending basic PIS. Meanwhile, everyone else minus REX and Ushgarak understand it just fine.

both of those statements were your's correct? Neither one of them are in the slightest bit true. I got the impression while we WERE discussing it that YOU weren't comprehending ANYTHING i was saying, but to say that i was trying to use PIS to evaluate skywalker was an absolute falsehood, which i explained numerous times, and you failed to reply to.

(i think in truth we just argued from two corners of a triangle thinking we were having a straight-line disagreement, because no other explanation other than blatant disregard for the truth of what i posted would result in the repeated misrepresentation of what my position was in the discussion)

i take back the liar comment, sorry about that, probably just a misunderstanding, or reading comprehension or something.

This thread appears to have been derailed as well. Please return to the topic...

Let me put it to you like this: one cannot begin to imagine how badly this series is going to blow. I shudder to think.

But, expect another galactic-scale war.

...Unless Palpatine returns to stabilize the galaxy and bring peace once more...

No, that would piss me off, too.

They said he's gone for good. So unless they intend to retcon DE, he needs to stay gone.

Besides, Palpatine would just steal Luke's X-wing, fly to Korriban, and kick the shit out of Krayt and company for being pansies.

I submit that the antagonist of this saga be none other than the Galactic Emperor himself.

Fresh some WTFpwning everything in the realm of Chaos, he's able to drain the power from all other Dark Sider spirits located there and thus fully resurrect himself - ready to conquer the galaxy yet again!

I just had to quote this cause I laughed my ass off and am still trying to staple it back on.

BTW, the authors better focus a whole lot more on non-Skywalker characters or I'm gonna crap a brick I'll be so pissed. LOTF was ridiculous in that aspect and they damn well better get it right this time around. I want to see Horn, Durron, Saba, Katarn, and all the other Jedi back in the story.

well, it was largely centered around Solo characters, and THAT was annoying too. But i agree with gideon on that fact that its probably going to suck. If they make another galactic war.... words cannot describe how stupid that would be....

Dark Empire = Galactic war.

Thrawn Triology = Galactic war.

NJO = Galactic war.

Swarm War Trilogy = Galactic war.

LOTF = Galactic war.

Have I missed any post-ROTJ stuff that has galactic-scale wars in them? It's a pretty safe bet this is going to be yet another....

I don't know for certain, but does the battle for Bakura count?

I guess not considering it was over one planet...

Though there's also that novel where Daala gets command of like 200 Star Destroyers and goes around raping planets with them.

The X-Wing series as well.

does JA count? i mean, you had Daala flying around trying to blow people up with 5 star destroyers.

That was Darksaber, and it was supposedly the entire Imperial fleet. And not that it mattered... rather than have a single ImpStar bombard Yavin from orbit, she had Pellaeon launch a land invasion. To attack Jedi. His fleet was promptly evicted from the system via the Force and then her SuperStar got owned. She's hideously incompetent.

I hope also this new series will feature a villain(s) that will give Luke, Ben, etc at least some trouble

problem is, there is really no way canonically to do that. They have luke SO POWERFUL that anyone else they create more powerful would be ridiculous. I had a giant fear throughout LOTF that they were going to have Caedus kill luke, even though he logically shouldn't have been able to challenge him, then i would have to put Caedus above luke, and i seriously didn't want to do that. Same thought process would probably go for ANY villian they bring against luke. almost should be yet another galactic war i guess....

Here's a thought: in fact... n/m, i think it deserves its own thread.

No, they gave Luke a great Achilles heel. He's easily manipulated.

thats true. Caedus uses that against him the entire series.

Right. He's not dumb, but he'll never compare to the truly great minds.

Not dumb? He's hideously naive. And for someone who has been in as many wars as him, who has killed as many as he has...that's f*cking inexcusable.

He was even a pansy in DE when he went to the Dark Side. And that's generally when most Jedi become cool...Luke is simply beyond hope. I hope he dies. Soon. Horribly. Raped by Christmas critters.

you gonna put that in my death of luke skywalker thread? cause i mean, we can discuss it... i hadn't thought of that plotline for it.... "raped by christmas critters..." hmmm that might just be the answer 8 )

Sadly it was trademarked by South Park already when they proceeded to rape Kurt Russell.

so what do you guys think of the over plot of this series?

the plot summary from the book(which i grabbed from wookieepedia) says

After violent civil war, and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis -- and in need. From all corners, politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant for a crucial summit to restore order, negotiate differences, and determine the future of their unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.

In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the dark side and subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it's only the first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and suspicious public. When Jedi Knight Valin Horn, scion of a politically influential family, suffers a mysterious psychotic break and becomes a dangerous fugitive, the Jedi become the target of a media-driven witch-hunt. Facing conviction on the charges, Luke has only one choice. He must strike a bargain with the calculating Daala: his freedom in exchange for his exile -- from Coruscant and from the Jedi Order.

Now, though forbidden to intervene in Jedi affairs, Luke is determined to keep grim history from being repeated. With his son, Ben, at his side, Luke sets out to unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo's corruption and downfall. But the secrets he uncovers among the enigmatic Force mystics of the distant world Dorin may bring his quest -- and life as he knows it -- to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by the same madness as Valin Horn, is headed for Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could doom the Jedi Order . . . and devastate the entire galaxy.
