My honest answer in the early 80s was Boba Fett.

I refuse to believe this one is real.

 

[Escape Goat]

So many redidulous things.

 

[Fury451]

Always thought C3PX was pretty "try-hard" and silly.

Basically, assassin 3PO

Still should be.

 

[bluesun.exe]

The kotor sith emperor killed his planet to become ageless and could do it to others. Kotor:Revan was a weird book.

 

[Toxi]

Anything with Boba Fett.

Remember when Dengar chose Boba Fett as the best man at his wedding?

I promise you it is real.

So is this

No, this is in fact awesome.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Star Wars EU was fucking trash. Thank god it's dead.

 

[El Topo]

Looking at all this, I only realize now that the prequels realistically could have been much, much worse.

Don't worry, he has a canon version now.

Though he's far more enjoyable as a character

Gaming forum and no mention of Kinect dancing game or doesn't that count as EU? 'Cause Solo etc dancing around in that takes biscuit for me.

 

[MattKeil]

Hohass Ekwesh is very real, I assure you. They later changed his design so he was more of an "equine inspired alien" than a straight up guy with a horse head, but that is indeed his original art, which began as a joke among the Revenge of the Sith concept artists that was of course adopted totally straight into the EU.

The death of nearly all the important characters introduced by Timothy Zahn.

[Dash_Riprock]

That the force is just a bunch of microbes living in your bloo--

Oh wait, that's canon. Nevermind.

The death of nearly all the important characters introduced by Timothy Zahn.

I've always found the guy to be overrated as hell, so I'd personally count that as a plus.

A fallen Jedi that was mortally wounded by Luke. Saved by his mother, she equipped him with advanced body armor that had dozens of light asbestos attached to him that he could activate at will. He fought several Jedi including Luke at the same time thanks to the lightsaber armor and held them off for a time until he was finally killed by... Fuck if I can remember.

I can name most of the other pictures in that post as well. Aside from the ewok/jawa/kowakian lightsaber guys, never seen that one before.

this is a jedi

What's wrong with that? Because he doesn't walk on two feet?

What are you? Sci-fi xenophobic?

 

[Secret Fawful]

A moon fell on Chewie.

This was the most heroic sacrifice in history or fiction, and that includes stories like Jesus Christ.

 

[Toxi]

Assorted ridiculous images from the Star Wars EU. These are all real.

Wait, this is what the Suncrusher looks like? This is the indestructible spaceship that's more powerful than the Death Star?

Wow. This might be the stupidest ship design I've ever seen.

 

[Hagi]

light asbestos is not a thing lol fuck outta here I refuse to believe that

 

[Dan]

Meet Palpatines son. Yes the a Emperor had a son. And he has a eye in his forehead.

His name is Triioculus. Get it l? Because he has 3 eyes!

The best thing to come out of the Disney deal is the fact EU material was shut down and retconed out of existence.

In fairness, pretty sure the EU itself retconned that kids book stuff out of existence decades ago.

This is wrong....why do people still think Midichlorians are the force itself? They never were.

They're basically a tool used by the force to manifest itself physically.

Think Jesus Christ....but Microscopic

Bucky O'Hare?

I laugh literally every time I scroll past this pic in this thread.

This better not Force Awaken anything in me.

That was immensely enjoyable to read using Auralnauts' Creepio voice.

 

[MechaX]

Remember when the Hutts took control of a prototype Death Star laser, but just the laser itself?

But it looked like a lightsaber whenever it fired, so they nicknamed it "Dark Saber"?

 

[epmode]

That crazy IG-88 bullshit where he actually took control of the Death Star II so he could rule the galaxy. Of course, it was destroyed just seconds later.

In the story "Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88" by Kevin J Anderson, a background character who appears for a couple seconds in The Empire Strikes Back downloads his brain into the second Death Star and takes control of it. He plans to conquer the galaxy, but is unable to accomplish anything besides playing a practical joke on Emperor Palpatine with a door before the Rebels destroy the Death Star 2.

This sounds legit amazing.

 

[EGM1966]

A literal horse

What did the canopy of his X-wing look like I wonder?

 

[Htown]

light asbestos is not a thing lol fuck outta here I refuse to believe that

I think somebody's autocorrect subsituted light asbestos for lightsabers?

Haha, yes, and IIRC it didnt even get assembled properly so it wouldnt really work?

Wrong....

Wow... Sometimes I wonder if you people who call yourselves "Star Wars fans" actually saw any of the movies, or you are just playing dumb for the sake of it.

It's fucking Bojack Horseman in Star Wars!

Does he have hooves or hands??

Edit:

LOL ^^^^

Remember the time that Leia almost got rapped by Xizor?
Or the time her daughter became brainwashed by the rape bugs thy used to live in Alderaan?

That was weird.

 

[Toxi]

Remember in The Courtship of Princess Leia when Han Solo pulled a giant penis earthworm out of the ground?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Best thread ever

Yeah, that's right! The Hutts also used cheap ass armor for it too.

Fucking hell, this dude was a member of Wraith Squadron too.

Sometimes I'll go onto wookiepedia and just click on random links and wonder what the fuck these people were thinking.

Yuuzhan Vong.

 

[Limited Edition]

The Hutts, or rather Durga the Hutt, was an amazingly cheap bastard so he bought slave labor that had the ability to communicate telepthically but with the amazing downside of essentially having ADD. So when one got distracted, they all did. You can see how that would end badly with superlasers being involved.

Bonus! This story also contains the pre-retconned original designer of the Death Star, Bevel Lemelisk. Who the Emperor would clone repeatedly so he could kill him over and over again for his failures.

"Just make sure if you execute me, you do it right."

How about Callista Ming Luke's force ghost lover who took over the body of his student so they could be together then left him cause she could only use the dark side.

I had no idea Star Wars was like this.
