Best era of Star Wars story telling?

Started by ares8342 pages

I enjoyed the NJO series up until DN, but at that point it just goes off the deep end.

Anyway, I think the best era is either the PT or Rebellion era.

PT, by far.

RotE stomps.

Don't forget the ridiculous "power creep". Nyax, UnuThul, Shimrra, Abeloth. Holy shit NJO is retarded as f-uck.

While it's obviously power creep, Shimrra and UnuThul make sense(and PT has some as well: Yoda, Talzin, Plagueis, Sidious, Anakin...).
Abeloth is from the Legacy era(LotF alone is utterly shit, and FotJ isn't great either) and Nyax is just retarded.

I guess you don't know what power creep means. But tbh spectacle creep is probably more applicable here mmm

I still count that toward NJO, it has the same characters, while it has nothing in common with Krayt's Empire in the real Legacy Era.

IIRC, power creep mean's that they get stronger, and stronger. Which isn't the case with NJO.

Yeah, late-NR, and DN-FotJ is shit.

Right, that's why they constantly tried to one up Sidious. With iirc Luke legit thinking every time that the current threat is worse than him.

Ah, you mean the hype. Ok.

Nah. He only directly compared Shimrra to Sidious, and that's about it. Jacen and UnuThul were just "worse Darth Vaders" and Nyax is... well I dunno what to make of him.

Kueller...well, that was Mara, and she said one day...
And Kun on a massive Nexus, with help of Kyp Durron.
UnuThul a "worse Darth Vader"? I mean power-wise, okay, but the two aren't really similar.

Still there's nothing interesting about them besides "oh wow they are so powerful".

They're just shit characters who's only real defining trait is power --- in others words, tantamount to a DBZ character.

NJO sucks yeah.

Spoiler:
Not as much as TCW

But yeah, many NJO Main villains suck.
I actually kinda like Shimrra. I mean, he hasn't much character, but on a mysterious and cool way.
Caedus in LotF is decent, but not as good as he was in NJO. And he doesn't makes sense as villain.
Lumiya and Alema were relative cool imo, but they would have more potential.
Abeloth was sometimes okay, sometimes(more often)bad.
UnuThul has imho an interesting-not necessarily good- concept, but honestly I don't remember much of him- or DN in general.
Bar Vestara, most(I give them the benefit of a doubt) Lost Tribe Sith were shit.
Nyax is probably the worst character in Star Wars.

Dunno much about mid-late NR era.
