The old robot hiding as a statue trick. Never gets old.

I forgot about Xim's War Droids waking up and attacking the Vong, that's so fucking cool, thank you for reminding me. Love the random platoon of Super Battle Droids who also went to war against them.
'The Last of the Jedi' novel series by Jude Watson is my old favorite from my youth, detailing Obi-Wan's early adventures after Revenge of the Sith.
Is it better than Kenobi by JJM?
Read a couple of books from this series as well as loved them, really want to finish Feris Olin's story some day!
Haven't read that one to be honest so I couldn't compare, but I can give a favorite excerpt of mine from the first book; 'The Desperate Mission' of tLotJ.
The context is Obi-Wan's on the planet Bellassa looking for clues as to an ex-Jedi friend of his named Ferus Olin, which brought him to a diner neighboring a former workplace of Olin's.
Chp. 4, page 29: "At least the meal was good. Obi-wan bent over, inhaling the aroma, and took another bite. Qui-Gon would advise him to eat. He never believed in wasting an opportunity, even for food. He remembered one of the life lessons of the Masters when he was just a Padawan, something Qui-Gon liked to quote: *When food arrives, eat.* of course, the saying meant more than that. It was about enjoying what you have in the moment. But Qui-Gon's kindness had always extended to recognizing the hunger of a growing boy."
That bit always stuck with me lol, and just made me love Qui-Gon's character even more when rewatching Phantom Menace.
I,Jedi is one of my favorites outside of heir to the empire triology
brilliant novel. Not many writers can do a full book like that in the first person. Stackpole is a brilliant writer.
@@LegerRon I loved his contributions to the NJO series. Loved Corran in that. I'll totally have to check out I,Jedi at some point.
Sometimes i forget how much canon Star Wars media there actually is, not just movies
90-95% of the 'fanbase' has only ever consumed the movies, the mandalorian and the clone wars show.
None of this is "canon", not since the disney buyout.
"Which books should I read." Funny thing about that...
Some were great. Some were mid. Some were bad. Some were bonkers. And we were not treated like ree-cist sacks of sheit for calling balls and strikes.
It was a big point of pride for me that I'd read just about every post endor novel... even the terrible ones... I think it was a terrible choice to kill legends... now I'll never really know how it ends for Jaina and Fell :(
Well, they do get married and have at least one child considering the Legacy comics.
#Askeck how many systems are not discovered,colonized and mined/exploited in the star wars galaxy. and why?
Han Solo gets an Indiana Jones adventure. Those were the days!
Some place in my garage I have the other Del Ray trilogy books
Holy cow! I just heard the first episode of the sojourn and I swear that I heard you in it!
Definitely a cooler universe than our own
it still is. Andor 2 is coming
Knowing Disney, there's a non-zero chance they'll fuck it up

@@somerandofilipino6957 they've already messed up episode 3 by continuing shooting during the writers strike. usually gilroy was on set helping to guide the scenes, but he couldn't do that for a portion of the final things they shot (episode 3).
@@xlinnaeus i wouldn’t be so worried, susanna white, toby haynes and benjamin caron are all competent directors, not to mention they seem to have a good understanding of gilroy’s vision
I do agree. And guess what on my birthday I’m gonna have a full Star Wars meal
Chronologically is Truce at Bakura, which took place straight after Return of the Jedi.
Yes
$8 a pack of Ramen.....ordered 10. Let's see if it worth it or not.
Factions compared idea sci fi insect swarm. Such as Tyranids, Arachnids, Zerg, Rachni, Terminids.
One of my favorite old Star Wars stories was Droid World. I had the read along book and record and didn't even know about the Marvel version. Always wanted a Destroyer Droid(Imperial version).
Damn someone finally came out and said it😂
Halo too
I used to read han solo at stars end and han solos adventures so many times. I love how in England they changed Bollux name to sound less like Bollocks
New video just in time for my gym session
May the Force be with... Tim?
Used to be my favorite thing for over a decade
Thank you Tim!
Don't know why my question keeps disappearing when I use the hastag, but here it is again. What's the difference between batteries, turrets, and regular weapons emplacements when talking about ship weapons. For example and ISD-1 has turbolaser batteries, turbolaser turrets, and just turbolasers. What does that actually mean?
A turret can turn its turbolaser barrel into the desired direction, a battery is a turret with several barrels (2 to 8 in Star Wars) and a gun emplacement is a fixed gun. Either spinal mount (i. E. Eclipse superlaser) or broadside style like on sailing ships. You see those in the opening battle of Episode 3 and I believe later Star Destroyers have them too.
Laser cannons can have several barrels too( see Millenium Falcon in Episode 4), but they don't get listet as batteries, I believe due to their small size.
I like a lot of Legends but there are many things I would have liked more detail on. Interesting ship classes that you get a name for but no details or only ever get specifics on a special variant rather then the standard models (The Chasemaster and Stella class Frigates from the lats Legends novels and the CIS Wavecrest class being examples of the former, and the Class C Frigates and Alderaanian War Frigates among the latter.) Also I never understood why we never really saw the Alderaanian military fleet doing anything during the Legend Clone Wars material. Its too bad the RPG material has never really dove into the pre-Sith wars of the setting though. Or even really covered any of the pre-Clone Wars pre-Rusan Republic internal wars in much detail unless they involved the Sith. I would have love some sourcebooks covering the Alaskan Conflicts and the larger wars they were sometimes part of. (The Alaskan Conflicts were a series of 17 Republic Civil Wars which lasted decades or sometimes centuries and were sometimes part of larger Republic internal conflicts)
I would love to hear you talk the legacy era I feel like it is hard to find good info on RUclips about it
It’s my total fantasy dream to have someone buy Lucasfilm off of Disney, then make disney canon the new non canon and make legends the new actual canon and start making movies off of all of that for the next 50 plus years
It will never happen ever but it’s still my dream
could you imagine the Vong war as a tv series... like clone wars...
Ideally it would've been the sequel trilogy we should have gotten, and what I was genuinely anticipating was going to happen when I heard Disney's trilogy was on...
@@airplanemaster1 if legends were to be canon, there would be multiple “sequel” trilogies, including by not limited to, the fall of the empire, dark empire, vong war, the one sith wars, and many more that I don’t know the name of
@@LegerRon that would be amazing
However it likely wouldn’t be made for kids at all
And they make KotOR 3? Ahhh we can dream
I have the revenge of the sith novelization and and plagueis always downloaded as audiobooks
hi Eck, i have a question :) Don't remember this being discussed before. I'm curious just how many different races/species exist in the SW galaxy (here i'm mostly thinking of spacefaring ones). How old is the galactic "community", who were the first in the past to make contact with each other, etc? thx:)
I recently touched on this subject myself loosely in my podcast, but i thought of the various precursor races of star wars beyond the rakata, namely the kwa, zeffo, etc. Wanted to hear your thoughts.
I remember how big Star Wars used to be... before the dark times. I consider most of Legends to still be canon, unless it's something worth being canon like the Mando or Rogue One, I don't view it as canon, I view it as overpriced fan fiction.
I know you probably don't care about what bungie is doing but will you ever do a video on the classic marathon series?
Good night
Some of those Vite Ramen packages are questionable.
Invader Xim?
"I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now!"
Hey eck, do you think it's possible to create a starwars story with elements of the original draft script/ dark horse comic as a part of it?
I wouldn't shy people away from the EU if they don't like Timothy Zahn. I personally think the Thrawn trilogy, while an interesting idea, was terribly written--I couldn't stand it. Same with Michael Stackpole's X-wing novels. But I really loved Courtship of Princess Leia, the Darth Bane Trilogy, Plagueis, Dooku Jedi Lost, the Clone Commando books, etc.
Best advice I can give, is get yourself an e-reader and download whatever free samples you can find online. If something piques your interest, go with that.
I would add Shadows of the Empire as essential reading. It fleshed out Luke and Vader a lot. Also, the Coruscant Nights trilogy for prequel fans.
Started looking at the Lore at how the Republic was founded, the regions of the Galaxy as they were being colonized, and the time the Republic was taken over by a religious cult went on a crusade against Aliens.
Anyway, what's that Empire at War Mod in the background footage?
Is it true there’s now a Trans Clone or stormtrooper?
Its a clone trooper and unfortunately yes
love the transphobia yall 👍🏻
get real
Why are you so obsessed with finding trans people everywhere? Says more about you than it does them.
Sister has existed since 2022
@@PopxTartxThief just a question heard it was the case
what EAW mod has the star hawks and the first order star destroyers?
Hey, I just like to say I love the videos and would be great to have some on hell divers 2.

That is true Star Wars used to be cool but now I have no idea what is happening to Star Wars
Honestly I haven’t seen anything since book of boba. It’s just better to pretend nothing has been made since the Disney purchase.
#askedk why was centerpoint around for so long in the timeline without anyone figuring or understanding it until anakin solo?
#AckEck Besides the Dead Star, what other powerfull weapon did the Empire had in his posession?
Battlestar Galactica vs Halo.....
Then everything changed when Walt Disney attacked
Haha you win best comment
LOL put some mouse ears on the Death Star
26 aby yuzange vong. All this ignored by starwars production.
Algorithm food!
#AskEck Why do Twiilek men have ears while the women have ear nubs?
star wars
Yes. Before the dark times. Before the Disney Empire.
Is there a way we as the fans can take over the star wars lore, prune what is deemed "unfit", and continue on with expanding it for future generations and contributors? It is either that or consider it complete beyond a certain point.
Not as a Jedi.
You just can't hold your breath about anything anymore. Base your expectations on those involved, rather than the IP.
Classic Star Wars (lol calling it so sounds too funny) has the right balance with Force nonsense and action sci-fi in it.
Modern Star Wars worried too much with gender politics and anything needs to be accompanied by lightsabers. Also the lore at this point becoming too rigid and convoluted. You can’t have anything new with Star Wars anymore.
Legends is the only real star wars. The rest is just smelly bloated corpse and Disney is trying to sell its farts as a sign of life.
The EU was so much better than disney crap.
Where does all the metal come from?
For all the spaceships an equipment an technology being created.
Is there just one big scrapyard garbage world?
Literally called Raxus Prime, tho there's more than one, Raxus Prime's just the most famous one
Early
Yeah it used to be now its a drag
The “under 1 hour gang” is overrated
No outro :(
