swphreak Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I just finished Darksaber. . . again (I know it's not the best EU book there is, but I still like it). There is this one part that I thought was really funny: <p> Durga roared and reached for his smallcontrol pad, punching a fat greenish finger against one of the buttons. the Twi'lek let out a little yip of anticipatory terror -- but instead, a hapless Weeguay at abother station yowled and began to jitter as arcs of blue electrical fire curled up from the base of his booby-trapped seat. the discharge crisped his flesh, electricuting him in a instant. The Weequay's smoldering corpse slumped against his navigational station. <p> Durga frowned and glanced down at his control pad. "Oh," he said. "Sorry, wrong button." The smell of disintegrated flesh wafted through the bridge deck in greasy, sooty wisps from the collasped body. <p> "Well, let that be a lesson to you, then," Durga said glowering at his intended victim. I couldn't stop snickering for a few minutes. Does anybody else know of funny "scenes" from other Star Wars books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hehe, yeah, i remember that. I can remember cracking up at several points while reading SW books, but now that i try to think about it, i can't remember and specific cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Han putting Chewie in the command chair when Zsinji commed. Ticked him off SOOO much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 i liked the part in shadows of the empire: security droid: your name, sir? katarn: A man with a blaster about to shoot you (or something like that) and the droid answers his name like that. was pretty funny.

Katarn07 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I think you mean Dash. Kyle wasn't in Shadows (though it sounds like something he'd say... ) Dialouge between Lorn Pavon and his droid are great in Shadow Hunter. One in particular. Lorn: You bastard Droid: Bastard. One born with a single parent. Second definition, one very.... yeah, we all know the definition. or later when fleeing from Maul with Darsha Assant. Lorn: Who pissed in your power couplings? --------------------------- Kyle in JK (I know its not a book, but they're great!) Kyle: Leaving so soon? (blows 88's arm off) Later when Kyle meets 8t88 again, just before his first duel with Yun. Kyle: I should have aimed for your head when I had the chance 8t88: A lost oppurtunity....

swphreak Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 All the Wraith's book are hilarious. Especially when Phanan talks. And the jokes about Kettch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorranSec Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 The Wraith Squadron books definitely top the list for SW humour... every scene involving Lieutenant Kettch just cracked me up. "Yub yub, Commander!" I, Jedi also has plenty of funny bits. The scene on the Errant Venture with the 'defective' stun baton... that was great. And anything involving Keevy was funny too.

Wraith 8 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 ok.. ill start quoting a funny piece of the Wraith Squadron books everytime i post here. Wes "You look like you've fought a few rounds with a rancor. " Wedge "Thanks, Wes. I'm sure General Crespin will appreciate that comparison." "lets get started. Who is first?" Janson consulted his Datapad. "His name his Kettch, and he's and Ewok." Wedge came upright. "No." "Oh yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."

swphreak Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 Janson: ". . . . Sorry, I have to run, have to figure out what to razz Wedge about." Donos: "I'm taking career advice from a 9 tear old." Lara: "May we come in?" Face: "I'm not decent." Lara: "When are you ever?" They walk in Face's room Lara: "What are you doing?" Face: "Learning to play a musical instrument with the power of my mind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 wedge: "Well who is next? A mynock? A womprat?" Wes: "My you are getting paranoid." The scarred pilot said, "you know, if I had even the tiniest control over the force, what I'd do with it?" She shook her head. "On those long missions, I'd scratch that little spot in the center of my back i can never reach . . . " She stood up fast. "Go ahead, make fun." "Oh come on. You think Luke Skywalker doesn't do that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benTantilles Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 starfighters of adumar had loads of funny stuff...lemme see if i can remember some of them. "what, exactly [are we going to do now]?" -hobbie "we're gonna try to subvert an imperial admiral" - wedge "oh. something easy. while you're doin that, why don't Wes & I smuggle ourselves aboard the Agonizer and destroy her with thrown rocks?" "(grinning) with the right tools...you could probably do that. in the meantime we have the right tools to subvert our imperial admiral" "what tools?" "oh, wes' maturity, your optimism, and my diplomatic skills" "(burrying face in hands) we're doomed" lol. couldn't stop laughing when i read that one. here's another one... "why didn't you bring tycho up with u? he's your wingman. and he's better with records" -wes "i need someone to be in charge on the ground" -wedge "i can be in charge on the ground" "oh, that'd be good. u & hobbie running thru the streets of cartann... taking charge when a delicate political disaster strikes. here's an example. a noble of cartann comes to you & says '...i'm here to request asylum in the new republic' what do YOU say?" "is she good-looking?" cracked up after that one, too....the book is saturated with that sort of stuff. aaron allston rox.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCords Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I love in "The Approching storm" (god, i love that book) Bulgan is just standing in Soergg's palace, picking his nosed. Great visuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 There was this one part in Starfighters of Adumar... Let's see if I can recall it... (Wes just stepped up to fight this Adumari noble in a blastsword duel) Wes: Thanaer, your widow sure is pretty. Before the duel commences Wes: Wait! Look, it's a bantha! (waves blastsword furiously to create a crudely made bantha) Wes: Not familiar with banthas? How about this? (waves furiously again) It's an Adumari farumme!! Thanaer: Can we get on with this? Wes: Wait just one more! (draws a stick figure with a circle too small to be a head) Look, It's Thanaer ke Sekae! I thought that part was so hilarious. I kept some parts out though, like when they spoke to the perator of Cartann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benTantilles Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 yeah...that one got a few laughs..hehe..there're too many funny scenes in SoA to mention...the post-make-out-with-iella-session which wedge had with wes ("or more, importantly, was it in the part of your brain which u use or was is in the majority portion?"), the scene where they all were enroute to yedagon (wedge:"she's come along about 2, maybe 3 years since the other night...maybe we can build a weapon outa the process and shoot janson a few times" wes: "i heard that") and several others besides....damn, that book was worth every cent.

Face: "Learning to play a musical instrument with the power of my mind." dont forget what lara said after that (" I thought so")....that was funny, too. then there's her "i read it somewhere" explanation for where she'd heard of the "unwritten law" on lieutenanthood. hehe.
