character(EU) exiles... (Page 1 of 2)

I don't know a lot of those but I did like Jodo Kast. You could create scenarios with him that could never actually occur with Boba Fett, simply because they are different characters. Kast is young and cocky, so you can get him into situations that Boba would simply avoid out of experience and intelligence.

I can't get enough of HK either.

But I really like this guy: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images … olhead.jpg

revan...is that fett? it looks like a duck...quacks like a duck...
(a serious question)

as for durge im on the fence about him...why do you not like him IG unit?
who is dharhan...to the wookiepedia!

Well the thing about D'harhan is last time i talked to you about him it seemed that the only reason you like him is because of the huge gun instead of a head. Durge is just another one of those almost indestructible charecters that anger me, also he is from the clone wars cartoon which i have already said i didnt like. There are various over reasons that i cant be bothered to state.

ummm... He's NOT just in the clone wars cartoon he is also in Dark Hourse comics http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Durge I don't not like him but I do think that he is a cheap knock off of Vader/Boba I mean come on he even used boba mando insig on his chest.
And I like D'harhan. I'm working on a drawling of him now cu'z there isn't any yet.
and I also like Bosk but he's not too neglected.
I think I have to go with Alpha-77, known as ARC-77 and more commonly known as Fordo.

Those duble pistoles RULE.

1.sorry I didn't see that.
2. "Wookieepedia is not trustworthy." it's untrustworthy because it can be edited by anyone right? Well guess what so is all the internet just not as much, so if someone is going to make a fake site they will work much harder to do it. And did you see anything on that page that was none canon? No? then don't say it isn't.
I can see your point. But with something like Durge people will fix any messups.I could see if it was something like this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sun_King or this, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Raich. but htis is Durge who we all know. so if you see some none canon stuff there please tell me and I'll go fix it.
3.Yes he dose! the symbol and a JET PACK and his helm/bodie is like vaders but not much I admit.
4.I know that Baba dosn't own it and BOBA dosn't own it ether but it started with Boba. and that should have said: "boba's mando insig" (which is still confusing)
5.And I don't care if it was "explained" it's still a rip off.

You answered your own question incorrectly; on Wookieepedia's on the Mandalorians, there was a statement something like "they sucked and got ther a**es kicked lololol." I have also found misinformation on many articles, especially for bounty hunters and the likes. The Mandalorians are probably more well known than Durge, yet their article was faulty.

Yes, but thaat does not mean that it will stop future misinformation.

everyone but spiker is dead

This is an issue that's been bugging me for a long time...and a big part of the reason I've lost interest in the Star Wars universe for the most part.
You ask why so many interesting characters get created, and then are completely ignored outside of whatever publication they were introduced in.
To sum it up, most authors don't give a rip about anyone else's material.  They'd rather make their own crud than use preexisting elements.  The best examples of this would be the work of Timothy Zahn and Troy Denning, for those of you familiar with their work. Every story they write features elements that aren't found anywhere else in the canon, not even mentioned offhandedly. 
Granted, Zahns work is quite more permanent than most other authors, everyone's familiar with the Chiss and his pet character, Thrawn.  But every novel he writes is completely dedicated to the subjects he's created, and he pretty much ignores anything else out there (ie, Hand of Thrawn duology features a conflict between two races unmentioned anywhere else in canon, that throws the entire galaxy on the brink of civil war). Though again, Zahn is talented enough to get away with that, and a lot of his work is central to the EU universe.

/rant

But I would stab my eye out rather than sitting through more of Troy Denning's insufferable garbage.  If you want to know who's responsible for the dissappearance of quality characters and elements in the SW universe, he's a big part of that problem.
Simply because he does exactly what Zahn does, but lacks the writing talent or creativity to pull it off.  And sadly, he's handed commission after commision for pumping out more of his trash.  Killik Twilight, the shallowly idiotic Squibs he seems detirmined to make main characters, and other annoyingly uninspired elements are the centerpiece of his work. 

/end rant

The crux of the problem is, authors are just too pompous to use other people's material, and feel compelled to make their own stuff--the end result is a universe full of one-time, shallow characters that are ignored even if they're a good concept that could work amazingly well given the proper exposure (namely BalanceSheet, though I admit I am a little biased ^_^).

I'm not saying I have a beef with Zahn, I just wish he'd occasionally use some other peoples material rather than focusing on his own creations, just to give more unity to the overall universe.  The stuff he makes is great, but it all too often gets ignored lately, and it feels like Zahn is about the only one who uses them/writes about them (The Chiss and Talon Karrde being two notable exceptions that have caught on everywhere else).

And yes, Thrawn is awesome.  I'm not discounting that. ^_^

What I mean by that quote is that, for example, Troy's Squibs are never mentioned outside of his novels, where they're almost main characters who show up repeatedly.  Elements of his Dark Nest books (Killiks) are fairly ignored everywhere else(except for the idiotic changes he made to several main characters that outright p*sses me off).  Zahn focuses on his own stuff, and he has a right to do so, but the Hand of Thrawn duology is a prime example of where the author should have used preexisting races instead of creating two new ones that are never mentioned again outside those two books, yet are apparently important enough to almost start a galactic civil war.
There's more than I could possibly list, especially considering I'm not up to date on anything happening in the EU.  My whole point is that authors love their own material above most anyone else's. I'd be the same way if I were writing, though I think these authors are making a huge error in ignoring the wealth of content that already exists, opportunities to build on preexisting characters and elements to make them deeper than before.  I'm all for author's contributing their ideas and creativity, though not at the expense of other people's work.  I would die of happiness if I saw just one of Jeter's original creations from the Bounty Hunter Wars appear anywhere else in continuity.
