I think after Shadows of the Empire (which has to be there because of its sheer importance), my favorite Star Wars book was The Courtship of Princess Leia. It has rancors, Dark Side witches, Light Side cave babes and is an important step in the evolution of Leia/Han and Luke as The two things I hated about the EU were the Yuuzhon Vong (felt like jumping the shark to me) and that asshat Jacen Solo. The daughter of Teneniel Djo would never have gone for such an imbecile.

I also enjoyed the Tales from Jabba's Palace and Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina.

Just watched that trailer with the volume muted. The color palette and CGI gives me an incredible prequel vibe, I hope that's not borne out. I guess the prequels did look gorgeous...some of the time. The poster gives me super KoToR vibes though, so there's hope.

Also, that poor African American actor really does seem to be out of breath or scared in every single trailer. Can't catch a break.


His head actually looks normal sized in the reaction videos.

Looks pretty good, i am sure the movie will be decent for various reasons, i don't expect some great storyline though tbh

Tie Fighters clearly got an upgrade to enter the atmosphere of a planet.

They have a pretty distinct look from OT TIE Fighters (The TIE/LN from Ep IV is nearly obsolete by Ep VI anyway, so this is expected.)

That said, the upgrade wouldn't have had to be major; the repulsor on a TIE is underdeveloped and would have needed improvement, but those huge wings give it fairly strong heat dissipation, so even without a shield it should do fine in reentry. (Yes, I know we've all decided those are "solar panels" but heat dissipation is the obvious design constraint of shit in Star Wars and the energy generated by solar panels that size wouldn't power a satellite, never mind a fighter with laser weaponry. Early sources strongly suggest it's for the heat, just like the radiators on X, A, and B wings.)

Weren't they always able to? At the very least taking off from hangars and stuff.

I'd think it's even easier because if you're flying a planetary TIE fighter you can skimp a bit on the vacuum suits the pilots use. Doesn't need to be 100% airtight anymore if you're not going to space.

iirc imperial shuttles were shown doing that, flying in atmosphere though I don't think they ever did.

Damn judging by that New International Trailer the Pace of this movie is going to be really fast. I am pretty happy about that.
