« on: October 11, 2012, 04:13:08 AM »Just wondering, why do some people here dislike LOTF/FOTJ? Was it Jacen suddenly being a Sith Lord? Another Galactic Civil War rehash, I'm just curious.
I didn't really like or dislike it. It all was kind of vanilla for me. LOTF was a definite rehashing and the childish comparative between Jacen and Anakin (to which the author DIRECTLY alluded to instead of going the more low-key route of letting it either slip through the inattentive readers or being noticed by the Lore-fanatics). It ruined the entire story since you already knew that Jacen would have to die by the hand of a family member. Using Corellia and its discontent as sort of galaxy-wide problem was ridiculous. It, to make a long rant short, completely out of original ideas and I ended up seeing one of my favorite Imperial characters (Paelleon) being killed for no real good reason.
FATJ had a promising start (minus Daala being elected the fricken head of state). It even had a nice tie-in with the older story lines involving the Sith. It was interesting to think about "What if a lost tribe of the Sith did happen to come to light?" but instead of having that be the focus for our character's adventures, they invented Abeloth and then retconned a bunch of BS into saying that the Maw was created solely to keep her trapped. The entire story line about Abeloth as some sort of avatar of the Dark Side or of the Force, is, imho, quite ridiculous. They were simply trying to tie in Abeloth with the idiotic BS involving the "Brother" and "Sister" combo from TCW tv show, to further justify both. It was stupid.
Nothing would make me happier than to see a story focused entirely on the Remnant and Fel's eventual coronation to Emperor and starting the Fel Dynasty.

I share your opinion about that AND similarly I hate LOTF/FOTJ, but I disagree that the Yuuzhan Vong War should have been the last major crisis in the galaxy. As I recall, back in the 1920's, World War 1 was called "the War to end all Wars". End all wars, it certainly did not. Not but 20 years after (Sound famailar?), the Second World War started up, and more wars continued on through time, like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and now the War on Terror. I believe that crisis should have continued on in the galaxy, but not in the way that Traviss/Denning/Allston did it.

The aftermath being that the Imperial Remnant coalesces from the combined warlords and the Pentastar Alignment under the direction and influence of GA Thrawn (or else!) and the NR agree that the Empire under Thrawn is definitely not the same as it is under Palpatine.

As to the "New" 12 Grand Admirals of the Dark Empire they were promoted to replace the others and all perished on Byss when it was destroyed by the Galaxy Gun. They were NOT the best minds in the Empire, but would have been sycophants of the "Reborn" Emperor.

Second It's said some where on wookiepida that palpatine/clone (depending if you think it was really him) had other grand Admirals in dark empire.
aye! Very true.. I wonder what happened hmm.

(incidentally I want your opinion on my What if Scenario, the Galactic Empire vs the Yuuzhan Vong and my Greatest Imperial Warlord in SW Discussion)
I was about to comment the other night, afore I was distracted. I'll get to it

I would have preferred that after the apocalyptic Vong War(which let's face it really was the final absolute test that couldn't be topped crisis wise) the vision of a Galaxy unified was something that didn't just 'magically' fall to pieces with something as far fetched as ANOTHER Corellian Insurection, Centerpoint AGAIN, Pellaeon getting shot by some stupid teen instead of dying in peace on Bastion, Daala somehow Duex Ex Machina-ing her way into Chief of KRIFFING State! Jacen doing some sort of BS quasi Ani turn to Dark side with that pitiful PRETENDER of a Sith Lumiya, and the absolutely far fetched lunacy of Vergere being a Sith Disciple of Darth Sidious who just decided she didn't like his way of doing things and peacefully left his service.
I would have preferred the Galactic History not repeat almost EXACTLY the same as it did in the OR, prequels, and Post Endor EU ALL OVER AGAIN!(I realize there is a limit to human creativity but Humans need to grow a pair an dsay, we've done all we can do here, let's leave the poor bastards in a Galaxy Far Away alone, they've suffered enough.)
Okay Rant over.
Hahaha, I feel your pain. It should have all been left, well alone.
There should have been, for the most part, united peace, in a 99% unite galaxy. Maybe a few duels with pirates, or remaining criminals and warlords.
When I read about the second Imperium...I thought to myself "are they ever going to leave the poor folks alone" lol
