    There's some Battletech books IIRC, but I couldn't give you the titles...

    Otherwise, I'd like to know more too: despite novels featuring some power armors (The Forever War, Hyperion, some books of the Culture, Sucession and a few others), I never read any novel about mechas

    It's understandable though: the concept is not very credible on the scientific/technologic side :)

    Although it has been some time since the end of the FASA era of published books, there are new books out in some forms. Your mileage will vary but I've come to enjoy some forms of fan fiction (specifically Alternation Historical Universes or AU) that asks 'What If?'. There are quite a few, some complete and some unfinished for reasons but it can be worth the effort to look at.

     

    here's the links to Four stories that I personally like, because the author succeeded in drawing you into their stories:

    https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=49460.0 this story is based on the idea of Hanse Davion NOT dying at the end of the initial Clan Invasion...

    https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=61566.0 this story is set in the Magistracy of Canopus region of space prior to the 4th Succession War (and based on a regular game session).

    https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=62173.0 an SI type of fan fic. If I could wave a magic wand, I would make this cannon... Excellent reading.

    and this https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=47909.0 a Star Trek-based story... with Kerbils (eventually).

  2. Not a fan of the music choice... but I was intrigued. I've never seen the movies in their entirety but I've seen clips. I did not know this part: the massed engagement against (the or A) Vajra queen nest... that was inside the remains of a DYRL-style Gol Boddole Zer-class MF (another, clear slap towards SLDF:M and HG that continues to taint it's legacy)  . What was the sequence of events for this?

    While the Codename part may be true you really can't reference a Parody as your evidence.  Otherwise we should all be demanding to see Yogurt and Barf in Episode 9.

    to be honest, any toon from Space Balls might be enough to save the franchise at this point... hell, i'll take CREEPIO at this rate.

    derp.

    OMG, that is hilarious.  If only they had the balls to crap on Lucas in this way, and piss off the fan base... hmmm, hey Rian, got an idea.

    Ok, onto the D23 thing, is that Rey at the end?  It wasn't so obvious to me, it looked like her.  Now, to go overboard just a little, Rey's mom... Jar Jar.  Don't tell me it's impossible, this is Star Wars.  Slap in some genetic engineering, anything is possible.  Even YY chromosomes.

    Yes, hilarious... now make a EVIL expression on Jar Jar… THAT would be hilarious wrong.

    As for the video, filling the first 1min with old school nostalgia is just a plot to make you interested. Its still a trap...

    they never read the comic where Vader fought a clone of Maul and defeated him by stabbing through himself to kill the former apprentice.

    maybe they did, back when they were filming the 2nd POS film [to kill Snoke]. That fan film is arguably far better than what they have done in cannon. Ignoring all the stupid parts, the way they have done KR is still a modern thing. So much potential to have made the 3rd triology epic... and they just filled it with retardation.

  6. reading that article about the floating head makes me wish there was a video component: It would have been telling to see his facial expressions when asked those last questions. Actually, it would have been nicer to hear more substantial questions but The Froating Head is wise enough to get someone else to bite feeding hands... maybe he'll write a tell-all book (do Japanesse even have that ability to do that?).

    However, can we go back to MOSPEADA for a moment? please explain how in japan a 2nd coming of MOSPEADA is in the works? links would be nice, I'm just curious.

    Seto, are any of those series good? I’m not familiar with any Trek novels except Shatners trilogy from the 90’s.

    Chris

    and STO: what is going on with that? Its been years since I stopped playing but STO's storyline isn't cannon as I vaguely recall?

    I wouldn't go as far as call JJ Trek a failure but more still borne if anything. JJ Just lost interest because the $$$ he hoped for didn't materialize... and the shitty story telling in part 2, mostly.
