so, after watching the prequels you still honestly think that lucas deserves that kind of control?
jar jar?
emo anakin?
super advanced fighters in the past?
complete absence of victory destroyers and dreadnoughts?
leia's mother being dead, despite leia having childhood memories of her?
extragalactic god race showing up with such a swath of destruction as to make the 20 year civil war struggle seem trivial?
midi-****ing-chlorians?
ok. enjoy your silly little universe. we prefer it when it agreed with itself, before the dark times, before the prequels.
If it helps any, I'm pretty sure that the Revenge of the Sith novelization states that Victories and Dreadnaughts participate in the Battle of Coruscant (yes I know that they aren't in film, but I'm not that adamantly against the prequels either).
As for super advanced fighters, I don't know anything about that. The Delta 7s and Eta-3s relied on hyperspace docking rings in order to jump from one system to the next, whereas the A-wing (a ship of comparable capabilites and size) has its own hyperdrive.
Personally, I don't have anything against ship designs from the prequels and think that they would make great ships to use. I mean, Acclimators are essentially still in service as massive transports by ANH, and a few salvaged CIS vessels wind up in the Rebel Fleet (which is a hodgepodge of all kinds of ships). Again, it's personal taste as there's only a little bit of the EU that I really credit as being great (not really a fan of anything post-Thrawn, though the Dark Empire series is decent albeit way too many superweapons and Dark Jedi), Shadows of the Empire and the Evolution sequel were cool. I enjoyed Stackpole's X-wing series (though fighters seem a bit overpowered against cap ships at times).
Some of the Tales From.... books had interesting stories in them.
I enjoyed all of the X-wing games despite some irreconciliable continuity issues.
Hmmm.... sorry for derailing this thread, maybe we should take this to PM.
