Most rididulous Star Wars Expanded Universe content

Almost the entirety of Wookieepedia is based around ridiculous EU content.
 
Sometimes I'll go onto wookiepedia and just click on random links and wonder what the fuck these people were thinking.

Yuuzhan Vong.

As sad as it is that Clone Wars got cancelled we may have dodged a bullet because they were planning on introducing the Yuuzhan Vong according to Filoni.
 
Darth Maul came back to life with robot legs... And got killed by Uncle Owen with a shotgun.

I remember reading the kids book with the part where a committee of Grand Moffs have a "mofferance" on their "moffship". Even at the age of 7 or 8 I thought it was the dumbest thing ever.

I'm pretty sure there was also a three-eyed character called Trioculus or something like that.
 
This guy is legit the best thing to have come out of the original Marvel comics Star Wars comics.

That's all from the Glove of Darth Vader books. Trioculus was the Emperor's son. Except he was an impostor and the real son of the emperor was Triclops!
 
Holy shit that horse-head dude. I think that's the king of this thread.

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

I absolutely love their videos and yet it had not occurred to me to read 000 that way because I am clearly an idiot. Triple Zero just got a whole lot better.

And doesn't he have a similarly murderous little astromech buddy? Video game beeps from now on.
 
The character assassination of Jacen Solo. Yea good job there guys! And killing off way too many decent characters got old after awhile.
 
I'll add that despite the fact that the Old Republic comics (and Legacy) are the best things to EVER come out of Star Wars. This was fucking stupid

It's a jellyfish in a giant jar, who's also a Jedi.
 
Abeloth, made me hate the EU books when Yuuzahan Vong/Jacen downfall already made it hard to read and
Mara dying to Jacen of all people.
. Can't believe they tried to cannoize that shit with the show.

Its powers were so ridiculous and OP that I was just sick of it. Worse is that it was the last series of books before Disney took over so EU ended on a sour note for me.

Still ridiculous, though. That thing would be far more dangerous to its user.

People keep saying this, but the truth is, the more dangerous looking it is the more you realize that the user has to be skilled enough to use it like that. I remember a magazine cover back when Phantom Menace came out depicting Maul chopping himself in half with his own double bladed saber--no Obi-wan required.
 
It's amazing how many people hate the EU. God forbid people enjoy a universe so much that they decide to expand upon it repeatedly so they can continue to explore and enjoy it!

Where did I say I hated it? I'm poking fun at how most of Wookieepedia is filled with long backstories for characters who appeared on screen for all of two seconds.

And a lot of it is, as this thread shows, undeniably ridiculous.
 
Shadows of the Empire.

Oh, Han's frozen in carbonite! Don't worry, here's a generic Han Solo knockoff who you can idolize.

He even pilots a Millenium Falcon lookalike:

I read a ton of the EU when I was a child and it took me a while to realize how bad some of it was.

Super star destroyer Lusankya, sister ship to the Executer, 19,000 meters/11.8 miles long.
Buried on the surface of Corusant to serve as a evacuation ship for the emperor and after his death became a private prison for Ysanne Isard.
Absolutely no one knew it was buried there, supposedly the empire either killed everyone who saw it happen or the emperor used the force to make everybody forget it.

Oh yeah btw, Lusankya was destroyed when the new republic installed a massive reinforced lance through the middle of the ship, packed it with explosives and rammed it into a Yuuzhan Vong worldship.
They had some amazing engineers being capable of taking out the guts of a ship and installing a shaft through the middle of it

Honestly I enjoyed some of the Boba Fett stuff but the EU turned him into a super weapon.

Wasn't there something at one point about Palpatine being aware of the Yuuzhan Vong and that's why he created the empire or am I mixing something up?

I'm not gonna lie: I love Dash Rendar. And even worse I like the outrider's design more than the falcon.
