99% Invisible had a mini-episode about movie novelizations. I think the Star Wars novelizations were mentioned in it, and the whole thing was rather interesting. Particularly where the author has limited info and has to guess about what might happen in the movie.

Both Grumpy Old Men movies are watched every single year at least once.

They aren’t going to change you view on life, but most are pretty solid. I highly recommend pretty much any books in the High Republic era, particularly “Light of the Jedi”. It’s the first of the new era and it’s a great introduction to the setting. It’s all set a few hundred years before the movies, so the Authors were able to pretty much do whatever they wanted within the basic Star Wars universe.

I’ve enjoyed dozens of them over the course of my twenty something years being into SW. Currently I’d recommend the Plagueis, Tarkin, the Thrawn books, and the Bane trilogy. Apparently I like villain books. I’ve also enjoyed the Karen Traviss Clone Trooper books but they got cancelled for canon reasons due to the TCW series.

Authors have plenty of freedom unless you’re talking about novelizations of the films.

Apparently I like villain books.

I joked to a friend that a disproportionate number of my Star Wars books have “Darth” in the title.

nueonetwo, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Final Fantasy XI. On and off over the list twenty years I probably have about 3 to 4 years worth of game time. 2 of those years were put in between 04 to 07.

Arrested Development, Archer, Always Sunny, MST3K, Yes Minister/Prime Minister

rjh, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don’t want to support them anymore. I still add ‘reddit’ to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.

SendMePhotos, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Honestly? Skyrim. Played it a few times on different platforms. Different builds, different experiences.

Poob, in What series did you rewatch most often?

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Friends, and the Office

I only ever read the Thrawn trilogy and they were decent.

HamsterRage, in Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?

I always thought Timothy Zahn was an above average author, and to wrote more than a dozen of them.

Candelestine, in Is it worth to read Star Wars novels?

I’ve read a few over the years and always enjoyed them. They’re never amazing or anything imo, I’ve never run into one that knocked it out of the park or anything, but I’m not a huge Star Wars fan anyway.

But they also kinda get a baseline level of decent worldbuilding and natural conflict that keeps them from being dull or anything.

If I was, say, in an airport and needed to buy a book, it’s exactly what I would reach for if I saw it. Favorite was the one that followed and explained Mace Windu.

Poob, in Do you think Federated networks are the future or do you think Peer to Peer networks are the future? Which do you think is better?

All three in combination will be the future

agree, this is not a “hit 2 birds with 1 stone” situation

hitagi, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

League of Legends. I don’t know how many hours I’ve put into it but I’ve been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I’ve played around 600 games. It’s depressing.

Gobbo,

Same on league, started on OG Aatrox release, thousands of hours in too. NGL, still love the game though. Viego is my go to cosplay for cons!

wcSyndrome, in What movie did you rewatch most often?

There’s a few for me but I’m going to go with A Knight’s Tale and The Other Guys. Can’t get enough of those 2
