Star Wars Deceived Reviews

For the most part, I think this was the most half assed star wars book ever written.. Hell, it was only 242 pages. Not only that but the book directly contradicts the Old Republic comics made in the past few months. The only shining beacon on this ripoff was Darth Malgus, who resembles Bane in appearance and understanding of the force.

You're entitled to your opinion but really, so what if it was only 242 pages? QUALITY is what counts, not quantity.

That's like complaining that a movie was only 81 minutes long. If you enjoyed the movie what does it matter if it's 81 minutes rather than 2 hours? Why assume that being longer makes it better.

Anyway, I'm buying this book ASAP.

You're dumb. Did you even read my post? In case you missed it or lack the necessary reading skills, the complaint about it being short was just one of many.

I wanted more on the Battle of Alderaan. The MMO trailer shows Malgus defeated by a single Jedi, but in the book he kills two Jedi in a single encounter. I would liked to have seen more intense combat scenes in it.

That single Jedi happens to be Satele Shan.

Still Dr . . . even the possible (most likely probable, but stupid gaps in history) descendant of one of the most powerful Sith Lords in Star Wars mythos (Revan) can be defeated.

Do you think Satele is a descendant and would that bloodline still exist in the current mythos?

According to the comics, she is the descendant of Revan and Bastilla.

Word of advice spud; get a grip. Seriously, did my comment really upset you that much?

Being rude to people when it's completely uncalled for really does not make you look good.

When it comes to looking good, frankly I find his anger toward your misreading of his post to look better than your indignant lecture.


Assuming this is a contest between who looks better.

Rofl.. Also yes chilled monkey, instead of taking offense to your atrocious reading comprehension skills, I decided to get butt hurt regarding your comments about my comments.

It is not and I apologise if I gave that impression.

There is no need to be so hostile. I posted a comment that was not particularly offensive, even acknowledging your entitlement to your opinion and you responded with insults.

Why be insulting? There is no need for it.

If my comment was truly offensive to you then I am sorry. I did not intend it to be.
