Reading new Star Wars book, Aftermath: Life Debt, and Chuck Wendig is shoving even more political correctness stuff into it, even moreso than the first book. Not far into it and already had a gay kissing scene and a pirate that identifies itself with the pronouns "zhe" and "zher."

Every single one of those books were a fucking disaster. The female characters are beyond retarded. Did you read The Lords of the Sith? The woman there was beyond any hope of reasoning. Vader and Emperor were a mobile Auschwitz and she still wanted to fight them, armed with blaster.

Haven't read anymore yet, but with the way things are escalating in this book I wouldn't be surprised if by the end Han and Chewie reveal that they're actually tranny lovers and Chewie's "life debt" to Han was that he'd always refer to him by his preferred pronouns.

are you kidding me? the books actually use 'zhe' and 'zhar'? wtf?

Thats actually not true. Wendig only got the job because his fans begged on twitter

Yes, and it goes to show that progressivism fucks up everything.
In the previous books there was actually great number of female jedis and masters, I think Jana Solo was actually strongest jedi excluding Luke Skywalker, and they were badass, believable, human characters, while now they are just Mary Sues with 'look how empowering we are' signs above their heads.

There are 5 gay characters, but none of them do anything too noteworthy like have kissing scenes or pretend there are more than 2 genders

In the first, one of the main characters comes out to be gay, a minor child character mentions their two fathers, and one of the main characters has two aunts that kiss one another.
>>
>>80743644
And what about Hearne? The guy is full on systems of opression, climate change, sexism progressive. For so few books to have two confirmed authors who do this, and other authors did the same. Overpowered, shallow female characters.
And what the hell, Disney tries to start new saga so they buckle under Twitter pressure, demanding some guy? Really?

True, but the former expanded universe books were written up to the 2014, and there wasn't anything like this in it. I think dosney execs are really pushing this hard. When was the last time you saw anything disney related with story of love in it?
>>
>>80745115
The old EU is a clusterfuck of garbage and contridictions thanks to the lack of Lucasfilm supervision.

Its good if you don't mind pointless sci-fi that you don't have to think about, but so far Disneys Storygroup canon is better at developing a world and creating stories that tie together the way they should. They aren't that bad either. The only real BAD part of the new canon is Aftermath, which is nothing compared to some of the Legends trash.

Of course that comes at the cost of things like Aftermath being canon, so I'd say its a pretty good trade-off

Starting to think the only reason the canon was rebooted was so that they could shove in LGBT characters all over the place and people wouldn't wonder where they were during the old EU.

Just finished the chapter with the "zhe" pirate and it–I mean, "zhe,"–is such a delusional character.

Good job Wendig got making your PC character a fucking retard.

Of all the Star Wars novels, the "Tales" books are probably the best.

Just fun short stories that give backstory to the visually rich backgrounds of the Star Wars universe.

"Mos Eisley Cantina" and "Jabba's Palace" are also pretty fun.
>>
>>80753748
Don't forget that in Tarkin rebels stole a freighter right under Vader's and Tarkin's noses and it was a threat to the whole Intergalactic Empire..

at least the 'zhe' pirate is being true to the type --- delusional.

>>80753748
Funny how Star Wars writers have never had a sense of scale. Traviss is the worst but it's almost ubiquitous in the EU. The Empire is supposed to be a million worlds or so with probably quadrillions of troops many billions of ships in the navy. Even the original trilogy doesn't do this quite right.
>>
I like Star Wars because it's fiction, an escape from the real world and all its bullshit. It pains me to see PC garbage like "zhe" infiltrating my favorite franchise.

I hate how Disney buying star wars threw the scale of the universe so off. The resistance is smaller than the original rebel alliance, the new republic has like one damn fleet, and yet somehow the the First Order has a bigger Death Star? Everything just feels off. The most annoying thing is Star Wars always had strong female characters that weren't forced, but for some reason they feel the need to force them now. The new writers just don't understand or love Star Wars, and it it just painful

Orks are the same as they've always been. Well, technically I'm reading through The Beast Arises which has a particularly cunning and dangerous warboss launching the biggest WAAAGH ever on the Imperium about a millenium or so after the Horus Heresy, and they're a bit different in that.

just out of curiosity, friend - why in the world would you want to read that stuff? there are SO many awesome books in this world, I'm sincerely interested in knowing what drew you to that book specifically? It'd really help me out if you were kind enough to explain

If you like that, check out Bloodlines. It's legacy era but pretty good.

Fuck Wendig. You know what's a good Star Wars novel? Bloodline by Claudia Gray. It's a book about a woman written by a woman. It's also the best written Leia in the whole canon. Gray also wrote the new canon's best book, Lost Stars. There's nothing wrong with books like this if they're written well. Wendig's just forcing 'diversity' crap to cover for bad writing.

I'm a big Star Wars fan and I'm interested in some of the Imperial characters in this book (Mas Amedda, Rae Sloane, and Gallius Rax). Those three characters have been the only good things so far about this PC diversity-fest of a book.

Not really PC-related, but there are two characters (a man and a woman) who just will not stop having sex and making out with one another. I swear Wendig just wants to write a Star Wars erotica.

This.
Don't forget Vader ejecting from his v wing fighter in the middle of a battle... into open space where he crosses some distance and rips his way into the enemy ship with the force.

Also, in' I,jedi' (written oddly enough in the first person narrative)....Luke has a brown skin dreadlocked love interest in the time immediately following ANH.

Space only needs one negroid...

Bros who are reading 'Life Debt', ignoring the zhe/zher insanity, and the clumsy writing, do any interesting things happen in the book? I mean, I'd want to read it for 'historical' purposes: what happens (in the story) after Return of the Jedi? How does the Empire actually end? Anything good there?
Of course I'm not going to buy this piece of shit. I'm planning on checking it out at the library.
