Friendly reminder that the Star Wars Extended Canon is just as important as the movies

Friendly reminder that the Star Wars Extended Canon is just as important as the movies

Reminder only the ot counts as actual canon

What is even happening here? The top panel is so terrible that it doesn't make sense.

The image doesn't make since without its context. Its not really important. Top panel is Vader standing over the body in the second panel

>he doesn't know

Fucking christ

Gillen's Vader comic has been legitimately good. Didnt expect as much.

>adult books
>star wars

nice oxymoron

Tell that to Kyle Katarn, bitch.

The most recent one was exceptionally great

Wouldn't the visual dictionaries from the other movies be canon too?

Star Wars novels have always been used to tell more adult oriented stories that they couldn't mass market like a movie. Well written or not, they are definitely made for adults


That would be convenient, but no. A lot of info from those books have already be retconned by stuff in the new continuity like droid models and minor details like that.

Its a shame I think, but I am sure we will eventually see updated canon versions of the same books

...

rip

>mfw Star Cucks cant do that now with Thrawn

God I loved shitting on Sup Forums when he was announced

Overrated desu.
Hopefully he brings Pellaeon with him though. Now that guy was a based Imperial officer.

All that matters are the movies. Disney just came up with a brand new "canon" brand so they could trick nerds into buying the new comic books and watching the shit rebels show

Except everyone on Sup Forums was thrilled when he was announced.

Nobody actually has an issue with the good stuff from the EU, they just hate faggots who spew nonsense like everything from the old eu was perfect

>we will eventually see updated canon versions of the same books

There is 'Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, Updated and Expanded'

Rebels is surprisingly not terrible.
first season had a bunch of throwaway OT cameos each episode, but the second has bit parts returning from the Clone Wars series, it puts the series better into continuity. The main characters are still annoying though, except for the twi'lek pilot. Also every trooper and imperial is voiced by the same guy.
Seems like the third season will throw in EU guest stars. Here's hoping Katarn makes it.

>they just hate faggots who spew nonsense like everything from the old eu was perfect

...or that anything from the new one is decent.

Are the comics good? Is there a reading order guide?

Shadow's of the Empire is canon. That's always left off for Video Games on these lists

Read Lando, Shattered Empire, and Vader.

Read Kanan, the ongoing Star Wars, and Poe Dameron if you want more.

You can read them in pretty much any order. They are all finished except Star Wars and Poe.
Fair warning though, Vader and Star Wars has a single cross-over event, so its best to be around the same part in both comics when you get to that spot. Or at least read some context

Lol

Thank you

Theres absolutely no reason to complicate Vader's character. He was a hot shot who broke all the rules and saw most people as beneath him, his bad karma caught up to him, he got lit the fuck up, put in a Vader suit, has nothing else to live for, throws himself into his work to distract himself, brings order through absolute constant cruelty, has an epiphany where the emperor is literally bleeding away the life of his son and decides to do one absolute good thing in his life, the end.

>throws himself into his work to distract himself
And this comic I assume you are implying muddles the waters is just another day in the work-life of Vader. It doesn't complicate anything.

The comics overcomplicate him as a company VP under fierce pressure by the president (emperor) to meet harsh deadlines and unrealistic goals, and he is in constant mental turmoil due to the pressure with Linkin Park songs playing in his head 24/7. No, I don't like it.

No, they're garbage. Just Disney using Marvel to be greedy. The Vader story is cringe as fuck and retarded as hell. Beware anyone who tells you Marvel's Star Wars stuff is good.

Vader comic is actually pretty good as far as comics go. The problem is comics these days are pretty trashy and stupid on average.

>Dr. Aphra
>Mon Calamari version of a "better Grievous"
>muh science replacements for Vader
>lolsocrazy murderbot pals of Aphra's
That shit all drags the Vader comic down below the good parts.

>everything aside from the movies and the first animated show is shit tier
thanks disney
its not like the old EU was any less shit though

>
>>Dr. Aphra
I see zero problem with this
>>Mon Calamari version of a "better Grievous"
You mean the one that appears twice and is killed? He's not even an actual character. Just a disposable grunt. Also nobody said he was supposed to be a better grievous
>>muh science replacements for Vader
I see no problem with this
>>lolsocrazy murderbot pals of Aphra's
Literally just HK-47

>Also nobody said he was supposed to be a better grievous
He was sold to the Emperor as "an improved version of General Grievous."
>Literally just HK-47
Droids instantly become worse versions of what they could be when they are given protocol/astromech skins. Especially when said protocol droid even cosplays as Threepio to get something done (Vader Down)
