I'm hoping that Disney are working on more stories and how each color is achieved through their saber canon. Each individual stories would help explain the green Death Star laser, Ok, after some digging I found that Pablo Hidalgo "answered" this in a tweet. “For what it's worth, those who see these crystals are always quite surprised they can even get that large. So there's something unknown and unprecedented about their attributes.” - Pablo Hidalgo So, basically...there is no answer. The large kyber crystals are such an anomaly that there isn't much know about them. Apparently there is some info in the novel Catalyst about Gaylen Erso's experiments with the Kybers. I have not read it, I might have to pick it up see if I can glean anything from it. |

I have read the novel catalyst and I sadly found it quite boring and it, unfortunately, had little info on Kybers that isn't common knowledge. although they did try to explain the big ones. I forgot how they did it though as it has been a while since I read it.

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

That is the norm it seems for the new EU. With few exceptions (namely the Thrawn Novels and Vader Comics) dull writing, attempt to push new characters to the front instead of and organic shift, dangling plotlines etc. The old EU got a little messy, but its because it had decades of lore that had been tweaked and changed, the new EU is a bit of a mess but there is no excuse...they just don't know where they want to take it. |

Exactly! there is no focus and story they are trying to follow. Disney is just going whichever way looks like could make the most money. they (obviously) do not care about continuity.

Agreed. I can’t help but feel that they just throw in an idea into the EU and start running with it without looking at everything that it may affect past, present and future. A lot of these changes feel more like an afterthought than the original EU that was carefully planned and executed. |

I think they are allowing to many people to much freedom to do whatever they wish and no one is reigning them in. Which is supposedly Pablo Hidalgo's Job. Some of the ideas I don't have an issue with, its the execution. Plus, I never thought in my life I would read the words "True That, true That." in a Star Wars novel.

I can't agree with you more, Tepes. What? What novel did those words appear on? |

that's understandable a bit. I mean I think I could see him saying that under the right context. |

I always encourage others to read/watch things for themselves, but imo the aftermath books were not good at all. As I said before, focusing on new characters and attempting to make us care what happens to them, dangling plots (Acolytes of the Beyond) etc. There just doesn't seem to be any focus |

I normally like to experience things myself so I'll probably check it out |

One of the new books I want to read is the Inferno Squad one. I don't think I've heard anything about how good it was, but the campaign for BFII was pretty fun, so I'd like to check the book out sometime.
