The Orinda Campaign

For those unaware, the Orinda campaign was the last major offensive conducted by the Imperial Remnant against the New Republic. It was initially successful and pit Gilad Pellaeon against two of the Republic's best and brightest: Wedge Antilles and Ackbar.

Surprisingly, he manages to best both of them at least once. It was mentioned a couple of times in the New Essential Chronology. In a Wizards of the Coast supplement, it is also revealed that Pellaeon sent envoys to Dathomir to persuade the Nightsisters to join the Empire as an elite cadre of Force-wielding combatants, though it was foiled by an ex-Jedi and Kir Kanos, a former Imperial Guardsman.

With all of the new books and comics being churned out by LFL, would anyone look forward to a stand alone or trilogy depicting the Orinda campaign?

That, actually, would be fairly interesting to read. The final days of the Remnant's offensive of the Republic under Pellaeon...

...It'd be like putting out a book about Jesus. We know how it ends already.

Your point?

I guess since the Legacy comics have been released, there's no reason to have made Legacy of the Force. Since we knew how the original trilogy ended, we had no reason to create the prequels.

Christ, Enyalus, what the hell has happened to your cache of common sense?

it would be refreshing to read something where luke isn't all powerful, and where the enemy is the empire again, not some souped-up force user, enhanced beyond the ridiculous. Don't let Karen Traviss write any of it, or it will be revealed that Pelleon actually had nothing to do with his victories, Boba won them.

Matthew Stover would be out of his element, I'd imagine, given that there is no deep Sith or Jedi philosophy at play. Perhaps James Luceno would be ideal to write it.

And it would go a long way to balancing out Pellaeon's victory/retreat ratio.

I sold it for cheap hookers in the form of Boog's sisters.

I would call that "desperate", but imagining the appearance and relative personality of Booger's sisters is something I'd rather not dwell on.

A cruel person would make a joke about involuntary euthanization.

Okay, I have a more logical explanation: I've been dealing with certain people in the Comic Book Versus Forum...which make the noobs in this subforum look like Einstein.

...And Boog's sisters.

Hurrah, I look like einstein!

Wait... *checks on Google* Einstein was puggly!! That's an insult!!! Why I oughta....... rip out your eyes and shove them up your butt so you can watch me kicking yo ass!!

Exodus, you aren't gangsta.

And what people were you dealin' with, Enyalus? Jesus, I spent, like, two days on the comic book versus forum. I ran away. What I found was scary.

Ohhh, I'm a likle gansta... *shuffles feet*

What's the debate? Is it the typical "Lulz PIS!!111!!!" shit going on?

Btw, I'm replying to your post on the Asajj Ventress/Maul vs. Dooku thread now. Gimme a few minutes.

There were numerous debates in which they were idiots. Specifically "The Presence vs. Thanos w/ HOTI" thread. DC fanboys, and all.

I don't even really care. I've said why they'll win. Anything else is practically going in circles.

Lol. I prefer Marvel, too, but honestly, you should have seen some stuff on the Punisher vs. Joker thread that got closed down. While I have a feeling you'll think that Puni would win, most people there stated their reasons as something like "Batman doesn't kill Joker ergo anyone who kills can beat the Joker!!111!!". BULLSHIT.

Hey, I can not post if you like. 😠

😄

Get back to discussion of the Orinda campaign. Pellaeon is above our spam.

lol, Pellaeon is just plain above all of us now, thanks to karen freaking traviss... (every time you mention pellaeon, i hate her more, thats why i keep bringing her up)
I was thinking the other day: does Troy Denning do the best combat scenes? I was re-reading fury, and the fight between Caedus and Luke was one of the most descriptive i've seen.
Stover does more of a metaphorical fight description as evidenced in ROTS. His fight description lacks the details that Denning had.

I admit i didn't used to pay much attention to WHO wrote the book i was reading until LOTF, so i don't remember critiquing the older books in quite the same manner, does anyone else remember enough to agree or disagree with the above assessment?

and if that holds, then a book that is more about the empire, and pelleon should be written by stover, b/c we don't need the description of hand-tohand combat from denning.
