James Luceno, Matthew Stover, Timothy Zahn.

If on Bizarro World, yeah.

Haven't we had this thread already?

Karpyshyn is worth mentioning but for the title of absolute worst he's edged out by the likes of Traviss, Denning and the TCW crew.

Traviss is responsible for some of the worst things to grace the EU but at least has the RC books to her name and the TCW lot have a few good episodes despite some of the trash they spew out. On the other hand, I can't think of anything Denning's written that's particularly good, and he's got his fair share of rubbish as well. So he's probably the worst on average for me.

Karpyshyn

The 2D Shorts Show was pretty good. The CGI one was kind meh to Ok, but I put that down to more Studio Stupidity then anything else.

Karen Travesty

thumb up Dooku losing a fight where he ragdolls his opponent twice is terrible writing, yea.

But the crappy aotc-tier om-com they were going for makes the novel terrible.

Kurk
Christie Golden and Sean Stewart

RHaggis
Christie Golden or that wifie who wrote 'Planet of Twilight'.

This guy. He made Maul into a joke and made Grievous' backstory into utter bullcrap, while hailing his annoying little pet Ahsoka. And there were gigantic amounts of filler in the shows.

What's Grevious backstory now? Think I missed that.

Mishandling specific characters is hardly worse than writing an overall sh!t story. TCW had fantastic characterization, action sequences, and dialogue and hence Feloni deserves credit where it's due. He did struggle with Rebels though.

Well, it's nice to see you come from the Zoltan school of utterly despising Ahsoka.

A little soft wording there. Though I think it's everyone not just him.

I think it's that he was jealous of the Jedi and thus chose the improvements. It's pretty crappy. Nothing compared to his tragic Legends story, where he was interesting. I'm not sure if he was jealous of the Jedi (I just heard that) but I know for sure he chose to become that cyborg/robot (he said this in the TCW episode where Kit and Nahdar fight him in his lair) which is pretty dumb IMO.

I don't despise Ahsoka, I overall feel nor love nor hate for the character. She can be a bit annoying at times, and the Ahsoka fans on CV/KMC/YouTube haven't helped in the least. But I don't despise the character. That's taking it way too far.

As usual, b!tching about a fan base being biased because they have opinions that differ from yours.

Watching you get triggered by a fictional character is amusing though SM smile
