Re: Commentary on the current state of Star Wars continuity(some spoil
"Dark Empire" is one of the very early Expanded Universe comics from Dark Horse (It in fact began as a marvel project) and is somewhat dated. They've improved considerably since then. Two of the prequel characters they created for the comics were actually integrated into the films and Clone Wars (Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura).
DE's main lasting effect is that it also brings back Boba Fett (The Emperor is finished off in "Empire's End") who survived the Sarlacc due to his armor. It's also the first time Leia really embraces her Jedi heritage, although that's largely ignored by the following novels until the NJO.
DE also laid the foundation for the Tales of the Jedi comics and Knights of the Old Republic, as it dwelves a bit into ancient Jedi history.

I'm saving them for the long hiatus between the end of this season of TCW and the fall premiere of S4.
I thought people come back as ghosts because they're angry. Being at peace should mean you go away and stop telling all the living people what they should be doing all the time. You're dead, and finally out of the strife of living. It's the Sith who'd never accept death and keep trying to stir up shit.
Just read the damn wonderful books already!

Because Jedi can become one with the force only if they're at peace at the end, and the Sith can never be at peace cause they're full of anger?

Re: Commentary on the current state of Star Wars continuity(some spoil
Exar Kun is a character from the Tales of The Jedi comics and also the Jedi Academy trilogy (As well as the tie-in novel I, Jedi). Basically, he's an ancient Sith lord (Who used a double-bladed saber years before a similar concept was used for Darth Maul) whose spirit got stuck in a temple on Yavin IV after one of the Sith wars, and later he returned to mess around with Luke and his 'first class' of Jedi.

Seriously, all that has happened? Where? That is so crazy. Glad I stopped being into the EU a few years back.

They are not part of the Force like the Jedi ones.
They are the minds of the dark lords bound to the living world.

Look if you created something, and then later decided to revisit it, you would not care about what others have done with your heritage...
Imagine you were to write a new TREK series, leave it after season 1 and then come back to it in it's 3rd season. You would not give a damn about what happened in season 2, promised!

Re: Commentary on the current state of Star Wars continuity(some spoil
That's exactly what happened in Enterprise, sadly. Berman and Braga left the show in Manny Coto's hands at the end of season 3, only to return for the series finale, with a script that basically ignored all of season 4.

Except for the fact that ( as usual ) the TCW version is inconsistent with the EU version. It's the all-too-familiar scenario: "There's a planet called Dathomir with some Force witches? And they're called Nightsisters? KEWL! We can use that!" Forgetting all about the light side ones, the rancors, Gethzerion, etc.
The midichlorians don't "screw up the Force". They merely screw with the expectations of those who can't handle words with more than three syllables. Biologically inherited Force sensitivity originated in the OT, and now we know a little more about it -- the sensitivity, that is. The nature of the Force itself ( addressed in ANH and TESB but not in the PT ) remains unchanged.

This is the point where I start to think, "it's best not to pay attention to novels because they MAKE EVERYTHING TOO COMPLICATED!"
This is Star Wars. It should be simple, like a fable. You gotcher Jedi, you gotcher Sith. Jedi = good, Sith = evil. Everyone uses the Force. You wanna use the Force? Choose which side yer on. Otherwise, take your lightsaber and go home.

It's that different? Oh, no. That does not sound good at all. I prefer my SW continuity the way it is without Lucas buggering things up even more.

Re: Commentary on the current state of Star Wars continuity(some spoil
My only complaint with the midichlorians is that it explains something that mystical. And cool because of it. I totally believe the idea of biologically inheritance to Force sensitivity. That's fine. But to try and attach it to some sort of biological pseudo-scientific explanation falls flat for me. Pseudo-science is basically magic anyway. Better to have left it unexplained and beyond science.
Perhaps, better said this way, the explanation was so disappointing, I would rather have had no explanation. Maybe with a better one, I don't know...
I just sorta ignore it...
Then I guess you'll stop watching the Clone Wars then...
