Not as over-the-top insane or vicious as your average HP wank or better, but when short on wank, the forums at TheForce.net never fail to provide. And when you want Star Wars geekery at its best, you check out the Expanded Universe section.

Star Wars: Insider, your typical fan newsletter, releases an issue that provides an estimate of the size of the clone armies during the Clone Wars. Because some SW fans find this number a bit ridiculous when compared to the vastness of SW galactic geography, the fans flip their shit.

Highlights include:

-Thrawn McEwok and PainRack arguing canon interpretation.
-Charlemagne19's "Who gives a shit?" monologue, complete with a melodramatic scolding on the terminology being thrown about, followed by Ive_Got_Two_Legs's equally dramatic response.
-Somebody pulling the "length of membership" card.
-Kudzu intervening arbitrarily to bitch about McEwok's posting style.
-And we even have some, "HAHA, if you're so smart, why is my OT thread unanswered" bitchfights.


I guess Lucas wasn't joking when he said these films were for kids. *rimshot*

Does this have anything to do with the recent VIP Blog entries on starwars.com?

Meh, it doesn't surprise me that Lit's got their panties in a twist over numbers again. If it's not clone armies, it's the size of a star destroyer or a Church of Waru or topatoes or some other crap.

That's why I stick to EUC. Much less with the crazy there.

And randomly? Not that it has anything to do with this wank, but I want to have Thrawn McEwok's babies, just on general principle.

I do believe they're related. I don't get Insider, but from what I've gathered in the thread, this is simply the explosive wankfest to the numbers released gathered in one spot, rather than dabbled all over other threads.

YAYE STAR WARS WANK!

I mean, that's terrible. Seriously, I am appalled by their behavior. Well, from a certain point of view. ;)

*drags out sofa and popcorn*

After they're done wanking about the clone armies, does anyone want to start a wank about whether Obi-Wan was more likely to fuck Qui-Gon or Anakin? Because, really, there's a wank I want to watch.

I wondered how long it was going to take to see some wank over this after seeing those two VIP blogs earlier this week. I don't get the fascination with numbers in this fandom but to each their own. I prefer the story and the philosophy involved in the universe myself.

Personally I'm waiting to see some of the fans reaction to Traviss creating a Mandalorian language. I'm sure some of the wank in that thread will spread over to it eventually. Especially since she's the co-author of the article in question.

Ah, Star Wars wank. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I'm tempted to ask if there's shipper wank in SW, especially about the newer generation. I mean Jaina looks like she's stuck in an orgy (Zekk, Jag Fel, Kyp.. hey, that's pretty ho-- *cough*) and Jacen seems to have had a thing for Tenel Ka in YJK and then POOF. Hi, Danni Quee(sp?)!

And did the world explode when < spoiler > Anakin the younger died< spoiler >?

Oddly enough, after a few seconds I forgot all about the wank and started wondering just how the various places in SW are run, exactly. Can any fen recommend happy funtime materials (besides the newsletter that started this all) that show off the inner workings of the Empire, Rebel Alliance, or other major groups?

Well, we know that there are about 1.2 million troopers made, plus a few thousand, according to Shatterpoint. Enough to place one trooper on each planet in the Republic and have a few handfuls of thousands left over. Givern that, we OMG I'M ONE OF THEM.

Wow, I'm actually reading the wank for the first time in, like, ever.

EU fans trying to reconcile "canon" cracks me up. Pop quiz: how long have the Jedi protected peace and justice, a thousand years, or a thousand generations? Depends on which trilogy you're watching. And that's not even getting into Zahn style clones versus Kanimo clones, the uber-powers of EU Jedi versus "Hey, I opened a door!" movie Jedi, and that the movies nullify the backstories for every second generation Jedi in Luke's order. Just look at Corran Horn, whose grandfather was a Jedi who died in the Clone War when Corran's father was a child, yet Corran is approximately the same age as Luke. Wrap your brain around that. They should have bitched about the numbers of clones after AotC, when Lama Su said there were 200,000 units ready with a million more on the way. Unless they thought unit meant battalion or something, there's no reason for them to have thought the numbers of clones were astronomical. In short, the EU never makes sense on it's own, and the movies rarely do. Combining the two just leads to badness.

/spooge. I swear.

Now, can't we all just get back to abusing Lucas's "Jedi can totally bang folks they don't love" loophole?

The memories are flooding back. And now I want to know...

Does anyone else remember the big fights on tfn about whether Lucas would be selling out to the man/offending the kiddies if he did/didn't go ahead with the OBVIOUSLY CANON-INDICATED Anakin/Padme/Obi-Wan triangle?

And does anyone have *links*? Would be back after TPM.

I'm catching up with my ex-fandom over at tfn, and come on this post (in this thread. from Lord Hydronium, about the old "Sidious is a clone of Palpatine" wankstorm.

Ach, the idea that would not die. No matter how many quotes and bits of evidence were stacked up, there were a few who just kept insisting that it was all some big conspiracy to hide the truth from the fans so that we would be even more surprised when the "twist" was revealed to us. I wonder if they were surprised when they watched ROTS. Or maybe they immediately told themselves that he still was a clone, but Lucas was being so secretive about it he didn't even put it in the movie.

Sounds like anyone we know? *coughHarmonianscough*

Oh, it looks like someone's figured out the continuity. This is beautiful. The Saga of the Death Star in the EU.

"Leia: Dad, you're Hispanic and I'm not. May I ask how we're related?

Bail Organa: Errr...ask Adama and Apollo on Battlestar Gallactica. Also, she's not your real mother.

Leia: Oh my god!

Bail Organa: She was kind...but very sad. Here's some images of her as Kind and Sad.

Leia: That's not much to remember if I ever meet my long lost twin.

Bail Organa: It's still a year away. Solitaire?"
