Yay or nay? We've discussed Episode VII at length, how about the new Extended Universe?
Rebels, is struggling and uneven, but every few episodes it shows something that makes me stick with it. If only we got some proper story arcs this could be a really good show. It's the tedious "mission of the week done in 20 minutes" thing that's constantly bringing it down.
The comics- I've only read the first storyline from Star Wars, Darth Vader and Princess Leia. Star Wars was actually really good, I have to say. Made me excited to read the others. Unfortunately, Leia was mediocre at best, and Vader was just terrible. Laughable in fact. Uneven tone, silly idead, the whole thing was a mess.
The books- they exist. That's pretty much all I know. I have not read any of them yet. Are they any good? They look... lame. I don't know. For one thing, I never was too interested in Star Wars novels. I guess Star Wars is very "visual" to me, so a novel just feel "wrong" somehow. But those new novels just look and sound rather uninteresting. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I'm totally wrong.
The games- Battlefront has no story whatsover as far as I know, except for showing us the Battle of Jakku as one of the maps. And since Battlefront is all we've got, that's it. Yah. Pretty sad.
