You know, I'm amazed you can still type after having your house of glass come crashing down on top of you. Guess you didn't get the memo about people in glass houses not throwing stones.
You accuse me of looking like a fool, yet in doing so, you only show how utterly clueless about the Star Wars mythology as set up by George Lucas that you truly are.
After all,
if you actually knew what you were talking about here, you'd know that my issue with Solo has nothing to do with Kyle Katarn and what was changed here wasn't originally EU.
In 1994, Lucasfilm released an online version of a Fact File. It was called "Star Wars Screen Entertainment" - where the fact files could either be played deliberately, or viewed randomly as a screen saver. In fact, from memory, as a bonus, it also contained some BTS footage and featurettes of the SE Trilogy.
This was no more a game than a coffee table book on Star Wars is.
As it's been noted, the character bio section took its notes from Lucas' Episode 4 script and character notes. In other words, everything there was from the mind of Lucas.
It was there that Lucas,
not Crispin as everyone keeps saying, came up with the
backstory of Han Solo having a promising Imperial Navy career, only to throw it all away by turning on his superior to save Chewie from the brutality he faced as a slave. That was the
entire reason the life debt existed to begin with.
And yes, when that plot gets needlessly replaced by shallow overt, virtue signalling mixed a Michael Bay set piece in the worst way possible, then yes, I am absolutely going to call it down for the dumbed-down garbage it clearly is!
After all, the same moral lessons and more were given with what Lucas originally penned and Lucas did it 100 times better, over 40 years ago!
