Me either. Traviss had already become a full-blown self parody with her novelRevelation. The only thing that amazes me is how nobody at LFL says no to this alternate universe garbage of hers.Darth Hoth wrote:Much as it surprises me, I have little outrage to provide at this point. Either I am still in shock, or my expectations have dropped so far that this does not really surprise me anymore.

I used to be intrigued by this extinct warrior-race that was mentioned from time to time called "Mandalorians."
Now, I just wonder if whatever shlub created the term (first publicity material on Fett's armor in the '80s, maybe?) is bemused by all this wankery. Every time I think it can't get more blatant she does it again.

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal. -Tanasinn

intrestingly the KOTOR (games that is not the comics) mandos succeed at being credible threat to the republic without being wanked to Traviss Level.

Questions: Where the fuck did all these "Mandalorians" come from again? Didn't the Jedi wipe them out as and kind of credible military force? Has, in the span of 20 years, Boba Fett been able to field a galaxy threatening group of fully trained, non cloned, uber warriors?

I'm not sure but it the LotF books I got seem to imply that the mandolorians while wiped out as coherent military forced hadn't been killed off and also their numbers were no where close enough (which where 3 mil btwhavokeff wrote:Questions: Where the fuck did all these "Mandalorians" come from again?

Something that's been bugging me - Traviss is described as a journalist/hack turned tenth-rate Mando slashfic writer.
Which publication was she a writer for in her previous 'career' as a hack?

So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.
