They had money for 2 death stars but not for Vader's new suit.

That was amazing. I assume all that stupid nonsense is in the extended universe?

They pretty much read stuff from the Wookieepedia page.

Poor Darth Vader. I had no idea...

Not to mention countless Star Destroyers and Tie Fighters.
Where exactly does this knowledge come from? Surely it's not cannon? Just because it's on the Wookipedia. It sounds like silly shit a fanboy comes up with.

to be fair it does look like they cut a lot of corners on the construction of both death stars
Probably mentions here and there in various EU works, then it gets collated all together on Wookiepieda.

"however, due to budgetary restraints"
He probably figured he could just sit on his throne and rule with an iron fist until he started facing the mountains of paperwork and hours of meetings needed to administrate a central galactic government representing thousands of planetary systems with their own local governments. No doubt he has hundreds if not thousands of committees and subcommittees delegated to handling these tasks autonomously while he and Vader do cool shit like hunt down Jedis and take joyrides on Star Destroyers.
Hell that's probably why he dissolved the Senate by the time ANH came around, he was tired of the bureaucracy being deadlocked on important budget plans and reforms (can you imagine how many bribes, how many Jedi mind tricks, and how much crooked bookkeeping he needed to legally secure enough funding to build a moon-sized planet destroyer?) and told the planets to take care of their own damn selves.
YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!
Did you write all that out in Aurebesh too. ? Noice.
Love the Palpy disbo too.

No New Year's RLM streamathon really sucks when you have nothing to do on New Year's Day.

Video referenced my favorite line from the Episode 3 review.
"Anakin kneels before monster mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash "

The guy that made the thread in OT where he said he would boycott Disney's SW because they threw out the old EU stuff should be made to watch this video every day for the entire year until he sees the errors of his ways. Jesus, you can't make this shit up. I was in tears for half of it.
The crazy thing is, Star Wars fans go this deep into character assassination because they need to have an explanation for...
"The circle is now complete. When I left you, I had quadrupled my flip power, now I'm a walking paraplegic."
Obi Wan is ancient, Darth Vader is a cripple, Luke has no clue what he's doing, and neither does Kylo Ren. That's why the OT and the New Trilogy look different (better) compared to the Prequel Trilogy. Because the OT and New Trilogy suck.

I hope they keep Rogue/Wraith Squadron from the EU and then toss everything else into the dumpster fire, because that's the only series that didn't read like bad fan fiction. Even Thrawn trilogy was pretty bad, and that gets repeatedly recommended to people as the best work in the EU

Where was this?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I just love how all this backstory was created after the fact to explain why their cheap, late-70s era costumes look like cheap, late-70s era costumes.
The extended effort to make everything in this universe intentional is just insane. It does perfectly explain the prequel trilogy, though.

It's just nerdy extended universe shit for other nerds that deep into it. Not even canon.
It's just hilarious to hear this awful shit read aloud.
The prequels existed only to ruin his character and make Darth Vader hilariously pathetic. That the extended universe stuff made him basically into Galactic Michael Scott is entirely fine by me.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
hate on the prequels all you want, but at least there werent any death stars in it
There was one at the end of RotS.
And the Droid Control Ship that Annie accidentally in the Phantom Menace was basically a Death Star.

I like to think that jar jar himself was a death star. He almost killed the Franchise instead of planets
