God, what a bizarre route for the old expanded universe that was.
Were those the crab people or the dinosaurs?
The crab people. The dinosaurs were the Bakurans.
For me it was perfect. I was fed up with imperial warlords digging up some superweapon without any stakes.
And then Disney wiped everything away only to come up with the genius idea of some imperial warlords digging up some superweapon. Twice.
It might have been bizarre, but it was fucking original and mind-blowingly clever. Not the ruminated original stories, but something really new and exciting.
spoilery mentions
Living ships made of biological matter?Not detectable by the force and therefore a real threat to OP force adepts?
The masochistic nature of the Vong might have been a bit too much, but it was full of unique ideas that were usually interwoven really well.
I need to finish reading the series. I got about half way through.
It’s what finally made me stop reading the EU. Up until that point I owned and had read nearly every SWEU book.
The Vong stopped that. I’d stop consuming any Star Wars content first.
They were so fucking lame, just an obnoxious combination of “scary dogmatic aliens” and “biology based technology” tropes. Pathetic.
