GarfieldJL Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah, the look on Obi-Wan's face implies he knows Han's just trying to talk big... ...then the EU tried to come up with a plausible explanation for how making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs was some sort of speed achievement. /facepalm Sometimes, EU, sometimes...you just go TOO FAR. Anyway, now that's stuck. Near Kessel is a cluster of black holes called the Maw; smugglers like it because no authorities (Imps, at the time) really dare to approach it, so it's the best route to get to & from Kessel without the Imps on your tail. Navigating it in the shortest distance became a competition among smugglers. I don't know who invented that, but I know who made it even more ridiculous: Kevin J Anderson. He plopped a secret Imperial weapons development facility in the middle of the Maw. With a working prototype Death Star hidden there, too. UGH. The Maw Installation showed up in the JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY, and the explanation given for its existence is plausible. It's later been established that the Maw cluster was created artificially for a specific reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restepor Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anakin, purely because of the force. Mace hands down. It shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's later been established that the Maw cluster was created artificially for a specific reason. Did you mean to reply to Captain_Zone who mentioned Darksaber? Cuz I already knew it debuted in the Jedi Academy Trilogy and never implied or stated otherwise They made a plausible explanation for the installation...but the entire installation was kinda silly to begin with. Plenty of other places to hide a secret superweapon factory...even right out in the open in some backwater area (just not Tatooine; for a backwater world, it gets a LOT of major traffic). Space is BIG. They could just build it somewhere between star systems, off major (and most minor) hyperspace lanes. No need to bury it in a cluster of singularities, especially singularities that were created to turn the Kessel Run into a distance contest rather than a timed run (doesn't matter if it was later retconned into a prison for Abeloth or whatever; as created, it was to explain the Kessel Run and conceal the initial creation of the Death Star). Like I said...sometimes, the EU goes TOO far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said...sometimes, the EU goes TOO far. I actually equate the two, since the Darksaber weapon/station was built there as well. It was moved shortly after completion. Basically a scaled back Deathstar. Just the Superlaser and looked like a humongus lightsaber hilt. lol Edited March 28, 2012 by Captain_Zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedwolfdeath Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 *facedesk* I advise watching the Family Guy ESB titled "Something Something Something Dark Side" to get the joke. Leia (Lois): I love you Han (Peter): **** off The funniest part of the movie imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Zone Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Joker XD Oh wait, right company, wrong universe. Comparing Han and Luke to Joker is just not possible. Not only does he have brittle bone disorder, but he can STILL fly rings around both of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were talking about that incredibly rare lightsaber crystal that shows up in TFU series and the Clone Ware series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staavis_SC Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Watch empire strikes back anyone? Han solo asteroid field /////////////////////////thread ^This right here! Han Solo flies right through an asteroid field, being followed by TIE Fighters and a Star Destroyer, then hides in the mouth of a Giant Space Worm. Oh, and let's not forget that Han actually beat Anakin (aka Darth Vader) during the Battle of Yavin, by taking out Vader's wingmen, who then crash into Vader, sending him hurtling into space. What does Anakin do? Episode 1: Accidentally blows up a Droid Control Ship, and spins a bit. Episode 2: Steals a speeder, catches a falling Obi-Wan The Clone Wars: Spins alot, again, and has a knack for crashing. Episode 3: Crashes his fighter into Grevious' landing bay, pilots a shuttle to Mustafar. Anakin is better than Han? Good grief! Han shows more piloting skill in 2-3 minutes of ESB, than Anakin shows in 3 movies and a cartoon! Heck, I'd even argue that Obi-Wan is likely a better pilot than Anakin!

Toonimator Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Anakin doesn't pilot a shuttle to Mustafar in Episode 3... he pilots a starfighter. And I think he showed off his skills more in TCW than in the whole of the PT, tho yes there's way too much crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkate Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!" "Never tell me the odds." C-3PO and Han Solo Han is by far the better pilot. Even with his supposed precognition Anakin is ambushed in his specially modified Tie Fighter by Han flying a freaking cargo ship. A CARGO SHIP! Why? Because Anakin sucked as a pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
