24 - Darksaber

from People's New Republic · host People's New Republic

We return to Kevin J. Anderson, the Expanded Universe's evil puppet master, for his 1995 piece of shit Darksaber. This book is bad in all the ways you'd expect a KJA book to be, but also in plenty of new ways! It also foreshadows the ways that Star Wars will be bad thirty years after this because KJA and Dave Filoni have way more in common than is comfortable. Topics include Han Solo being a "where's my hug?" guy, Kevin J. Anderson's constant racism/misogyny/fatphobia, if Kevin J. Anderson killed his transcriptionist, and Callista's insistence on not giving Luke disgusting half-breed children. Content warnings include misogyny, racism, fatphobia, and eugenics. -- MEDIA --
