Yes....they ended a LONG time ago. Did you even look at the Dark Horse website before you posted?

Star Wars Universe / Re: When did the Empire change their eqiupment?

The game wasn't even that good.
[rant] After killing 500+ droids on the Tantive without dying once I realized there were better things out there. And surprise, when I went back to DOD (a Half-Life Mod) I found that playing against AI really doesn't help you develop as a gamer. If that's how you judge games, I hope you agree that BFII wasn't so great at all and therefore isn't "canon". [/rant]

They List him as Colonel (Later General) Airen Cracken.
That's interesting because I've read all the X-Wing books, which I'm assuming is the EU you're talking about, and they mentioned him at the Battle of Endor. Sounds like a lame attempt to make a connction, to me at least.

I have been looking at that pic for a while today. I just do not get the attraction. The figure looks like it belongs in the G.I.Joe line.
Zing! Isn't the product manager for the new Star Wars line the old product manager of the Joe line? I think I talked to someone on the team about it at the 2004 or 2005 Comic Con.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Re: SW Legacy from Dark Horse Comics
« on: October 2, 2006, 06:11 PM »well if you think about it, it tells alot about how this generation has been perceived and well as a member of it i can say : "is".
especially the ppl behind me my sisters era, their a bunch of Cade's, my guys are bit more Solo/Fett, but the kids right now, christ.....i really fear the day their in charge of things.
essentially cade is like having robert downey Jr. play Iron Man..wait a second they are..lol
or the big lebowski turned into a starwars...lol that'd be kool....
i love it either way,. just wish they could fatten up the issues...
?
I hardly think Star Wars: Legacy is meant to be a social commentary on how deranged the world is. Comic books can be deep sometimes, but all in all, they're comic books, not 19th century novels.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Custom Clone ...

I can't really critique the clone himself other than that he looks cool, but I absolutely love the holster and it's associated weapon. Great work!

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Have You/Could You Give up the Basic Line?
« on: October 2, 2006, 03:55 AM »Is it just me or is Hasbro doing to Star Wars what they did to the 80's GI Joe line?
Clearly they have been doing it to vehicles for a while but now they are clearly doing it to figures too.
Or to the Jurassic Park line?
I've already quit the basic line. Insurance payments kind of forced it upon me, but I'm only looking for the really interesting figures now. I know that in 6 months I'll be able to pick up the rest loose and in good condition here for way less, so I'm just spending on the figures like Mars Guo or perhaps another 2 or 3 this year.

Star Wars Universe / Re: Vong anybody?
« on: October 2, 2006, 03:43 AM »You know, the Whole Vong Story Arc is a Rip of the Borg in Star Trek. I think it is the Lamest least imaginative piece of Eu that exist. I really hated that So Many Novels were wasted on that series. I miss the Good old Days! Give Us back the X-Wing Novels, More Tales would be Sweet. I do think the Clone Wars Stuff is Great, I put that right up there with the X-Wing Novels. I'm currently reading Tripple Zero, Great Stuff! I just don't get why people are hung up on the Vong Series. I have one Use for thet Series and its sitting on my Toliet Paper Dispenser.
[rant] Thank you! Jesus ******* Christ, finally someone with their head on straight. The best thing about the NJO was the Japanese covers. Nothing else in that series belonged in SW EU. X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble was 10x the better novel than Star By Star, and they didn't even have to kill anybody (*gasp) for publicity. [/rant]

Star Wars Universe / Re: When did the Empire change their eqiupment?
« on: October 2, 2006, 03:33 AM »ehhh battlefront 2 isn't really the most 'cannon' EU out thereIt's canon, not cannon & the story of BF II is considered pretty canon. The rest is non-canon.
Wait...what? Are you actually saying there's a shred of truth to the 501st fighting in every major battle in SW history?
No. I thought not.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: New H&V- Collector's Choice!
« on: October 2, 2006, 03:29 AM »2007 H&V:
04. POTF2 DarkTrooper
08. POTF2 SpaceTrooper
10. E1 TC-14
11. E1 R2-B1
12. ROTS Cat Miin
MMK...not sure if you're aware of this but R2-B1 and TC-14 kind of sucked. Yea they're hard to find, but when you do get them, you'll realize they aren't anything special. Paint jobs weren't stellar and the molds have been updated, thus re-releasing those would probably end up in disaster...but at least you'd have the two hardest to find Episode 1 figures, right?
Cat Miin...? Cat Miin? Cat Miin?
And finally, while both troopers were hard to find, they too would look pretty ******* ridiculous on the shelves nest to and SA Clone, Jedi Master, and SBD. POTF2 is pretty old now and it's time to move away from it. Those figures need and update, not a re-release.

I don't think they care if we like him or not...personally I like seeing some villanous characters who don't wield red lightsabers and use cheesy evil-doer dialogue, but that's just me.
