OMG STAR WARS. Since I have two characters, I will break down the wtf by prequel and original/EU. Mwhahaha.

1. I say I love you by stalking you from childhood. WHO TOLD LUCAS HE COULD WRITE ROMANCE?! Please, please make him stop. Included in this is the worst pick up line ever, "Your skin is smooooooooth," which makes me cringe in horror every damn time, a break-up scene where the one saying "no, we can't!" is wearing a black leather corset, and the part where being pregnant apparently makes Padme's brains leak out her ears.

2. Jar-Jar Frakking Binks. Die in a fire, Jar-Jar. No, it doesn't make it better that your vote in the Senate giving Palpatine emergency powers pretty much doomed the universe to the dark side. I want to slap you every time you open your mouth.

3. We will bring down the Jedi through...politics! Mwahahahah! Really? Really? I'm a political science major and I still couldn't follow the thought process that went into this plan.

4. Oh, I'm dark side now? Guess I'll go KILL EVERYONE I KNOW. WTF ANAKIN YOU DUMBASS.

5. Quick! To the prosthetics department! Does every major battle have to prove it's major-ness by having someone lose a limb, George? Really? And wtf with the Emperor's amazing degenerating skin condition. Not only did it make no sense, it looks incredibly lame. Bah.

And the original/extended universe part!

1. Luke/Leia Um. No. This is what I point at when George is all "of course I had it planned out! In that case, you are a sick, sick man, George.

2. Luke in most of the early EU. "I'm whiny!" "I can't make decisions!" "I'm in love with a chick who lives in a computer!" No wonder it took you until you were forty to get married, Luke. I would've slapped you waaaay before then.

3. "Oh, crap, they have kids! Let's have 'em kidnapped!" Dear authors, I know you wanted to play with the grown ups, but come up with another plotline. Jesus.

4. WTF crappy new characters. Ancient Jedi who lives in a computer. Han Solo's evil cousin who has an evil beard so you know that he is evil. The CREEPY ASS BUG THINGS.

5. The thing with the guy in the Legacy of the Force series. Because seriously?! In that family? You'd think they'd be just a little twitchier when some starts heading towards gray and homicidal waters. I wanted to set him on fire from book three or so, and I used to love him.

Thrackan/Thracken/whichever the hell way it was supposed to be spelled makes me keysmash. x.x

[sith_happened]

HATE HIM SO MUCH. And he gets outsmarted by, what, a nine year old boy?

That happens a lot, doesn't it? Like, I keep forgetting Ben's only fourteen. Sometimes I halfway think the writers forget too.

[sith_happened]

That's because Ben is made of win and awesome. It's easy to forget :)

2. I half believe there was a moment in which Mara just slapped the hell out of Luke back in the day, it just didn't make it into the books yet. Maybe Zahn'll write it someday.

4. You forget that he's an evil IDENTICAL cousin except for the evil beard. And he won't stop freaking showing up.

One of the best part of the Legacy series was finally getting rid of him. Like that whole family wasn't screwed up enough.

The whole build-up of the Anakin/Padme romance made me cringe. I felt that any romance novelist could have found a better way to do the whole thing.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

It was so, so, SO creepy. And what makes it worse is that the intense creepiness didn't seem to be George's intention at all. Like he thinks that's a good way to meet chicks or something.

"ARE YOU AN ANGEL?"

.... yeah. I almost got sick in my popcorn. Thanks, George.
