Did you make this? I just noticed what anon pointed out about the "STRENGHT". I really like this as a wallpaper, but that bothers me.

If you or anyone could fix it, I would give them a cookie, bacon, a thumb, and many a thanks.

Do you have this fot the jedi code?
User avatar #122 to #35 - redblueyellow (12/27/2012) [-]
Um...I hope I'm not being too demanding and annoying, but do you also have the picture without jedi knight Shan, and just the temple? I think it would make a better background.

If not, than thank you very much for sharing this one :)

Who is Shan? D:

She looks a bit like Bastilla
User avatar #134 to #132 - redblueyellow (12/27/2012) [-]
She actually is a descendent of Bastilla Shan and Revan. I can´t remember her first name though. I don´t play knights of the old republic, but I do know that Revan makes an appearance, so she technically has a chance to meet her grandfather or greatgrandfather.

I didn't realize that Revan's and Bastilla's romance was canon, awesome, she was the best romance option of all RPGs I've played. Liara and Tali are okay too, but Dragon Age totally ****** up with romance partners.

Yup, there's a book that tells Revan's story after Knights of the Old Republic


It's called Revan (shocker!!!) and it's quite a good read. If Kights of the Old Republic interested you, be sure to check this book out.

Revan is my favorite Star Wars character. Although I only know the characters from the Old Republic and the fall of the empire. Everything after Vader's death is probably buttocks or fanfic

I've read a few books that are set after Episode VI, and I really enjoyed them. Especially "Legacy of the Force", which tells the story of Han and Leia's oldest son becoming a sith and everything that revolves around it. Really interesting, especially because Boba Fett plays a big role and he's my favorite character.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, don't automatically think everything outside the standard films is rubbish or fanfic. Just read something and if you don't like it, you put the book away. But I'm sure you'll get hooked to some books.

Seriously, this **** is pretty epic. If you come across them somewhere, just buy one (it'll belike, max 10 dollars) and start reading. I read those books while on vacation in Canada and it was the best vacation ever.

It just seems too repetetive, I mean, good guy becomes a bad guy because of passion, love, power, etc.

Although it's cool that Luke named his son Ben, if that's canon, I don't know much about anything after the movies because I've read a couple of things and I never seem to know if it is canon or pure fanfic :(

It's all canon. But what's interesting in the legacy of the force series is that when the good guy becomes the bad guy (Jacen) he's still seen as a hero of the republic. So he's only a bad guy for a few people. And the books tell about how each member of the solo/skywalker family handles this situation. So it's not just a story about a jedi simply turning sith. If you think about it, it's not that repetitive. I mean, what do we know about the other sith stories? Darth Sidious? Almost nothing more than the bits he tells. Darth Vader? His story was also vague untill the prequels, and there he just turns very suddenly in episode 3.

The difference between Jacen's story and that of his grandfather (Vader), is that Vader was a cyborg sith lord with no real close family or friends who was just know as Darth Vader to the whole galaxy (no one knew he was Anakin Skywalker). Whereas with Jacen, everyone knows who he his and he has alot of close family members who each deal differently with his turning to the dark side.

What I'm trying to say is that yes, the good guy turning bad but the good side winning in the end is repetitive, but that's in alot of movies/books. There is so much more going on in these books. And the best part is, you don't even need alot of background. If something happened in previous books that you need to know of, it is explained to you briefly so you can understand it.

Also, the series consists of 9 books, written by 3 writers, each writing in turn. This is great, because each has his/her own way of writing. For example, Karen Traviss has also written a serie called Republic Commando, which takes place in the clone wars and revolves around a squad of rebublic commandos (also a very good read, I recommend it). In these books alot of mandalorian culture is discussed, so Traviss books in Legacy of the force deal with the Boba
Fett story line.

I'm sorry for the long read. My letterlimit is almost full. If you have any questions, please ask them :)

I feel like that only one that thinks that the Jedi Code here makes them sound like emotionless assholes, even if they are not.
#41 to #35 - infernoimmortal (12/27/2012) [-]
The real Jedi Code is

"Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force."

Is it ever said in the expanded universe that way, or is this your own vision, because it makes so much more sense.

Because only Siths deal in absolutes.
