I keep thinking there can't possibly be anymore stupid TIE fighter designs, but the internet:
TIE Lambda
Here's a link to a full image of all the different ships. Even the ones that don't look stupid have great names like:
TIE Fire Control
TIE Ground Superiority
TIE Lander
I mean, why stop there? It just means Twin Ion Engine. TIE Ice Cream Delivery. TIE Party Wagon. TIE Ship Cleaner. TIE Garbage Pick-Up.
And I thought the ones I found were bad

This thread, it's amazing.
I had no damn clue the EU was so hilariously and horridly strange, I think I am in love.

That's the generic Nightsister look for you. Most of them looked a bit better:
But it really depends on the artist who draws them or their overall interpretation of the styling. Established Nightsisters like Silri had a lot more design work put into her.

I refuse to believe this is real. Someone is taking the piss.

I love that "TIE Experimental 1" was "lets just try some shit" and then "TIE Experimental 2" was "lol that was fucking stupid nevermind."
The TIE Hunter is actually pretty neat. Defender could work out, maybe. The TIE Droid fighter is pretty neat too. Burn the rest.
I honestly wonder what the TIE Party Wagon would be like.

I read the article and didn't see the mention of buttsex but I really want it to be true. Anyone know more about this?

I thought these were interesting...
Only 3.99 GBP each on Amazon UK at the moment.
For those that don't know, Haynes, the publishers of these manuals, do well known car repair manuals in the UK.

Darth Maul didn't die, he became a spider.
Thats canon and the beginning of one of the best arcs of The clone wars
Every article is still there, only now there's also articles for canon things.
Also Maul surviving is the dumbest thing ever. There's no way for his body to be recovered in time to save his life and attach robo (spider) legs.
His upper body was wholly intact and Light Sabers immediately close wounds, plus he was alien so who knows what functions his body had.
I assumed "predator's kiss" was a euphemism.

It has nothing to do with any alien physiology. He is/was a Sith. He kept himself alive through sheer hatred and force of will. If anything, it makes him more bad ass than the movie portrayed him: who else has done that? No one, that's who. Movie Maul is a jobber who gets a kill on an old man (who wasn't even a great lightsaber duelist), and then gets gutted by a padawan. The Clone Wars Maul is basically hatred personified.
On the subject of Cad Bane: Clone Wars really succeeded in making the stupidest goddamn concepts play out in a really cool way. Space cowboy with a big floopy hat? A crew of goofy recurring space pirates? Darth Maul comes back from the dead with robo-legs and teams up with a brother named Savage Opress? Hell, the basic premise of Anakin Skywalker getting a spunky teenage sidekick? Somehow it all works.
I guess that's the difference between good Star Wars and bad Star Wars. It's all dumb, derivative nonsense, but sometimes you get real magic out of it and sometimes you get... well, this thread.
EDIT: Wait, except for "Jabba the Hutt has a gay purple cousin from New Orleans." Not even Clone Wars could make that one work.

The spider parts were held together with the force. How is that not awesome?
We totally know his body's functions; he was Zabrak: they have a second heart, are carnivorous and have horns. Those are their differences to humans.
Oh see, that's actually neat, nevermind. Need to actually finish watching The Clone Wars one of these days.

What makes it worse is that it's super obvious someone just took a model, told her pose epicly but turns out stiff, awkward, and forced instead as she's forced to hold it for the photographer, and then proceed to just Photoshop the shit out of her face and only her face, resulting in a really generic, ugly thing.

Maul keeping himself alive through hatred is as ridiculous as Padme letting herself die of a broken heart.

Nope. I refuse to believe that.

Shadows of the Empire.
Oh, Han's frozen in carbonite! Don't worry, here's a generic Han Solo knockoff who you can idolize.
Holy shit, I was watching Silverado the other day and I knew something about young Kevin Costner was familiar to me.
then again, he also looks like early 80s/banging a 17 year old Don Johnson.

Broken Heart syndrome is a medical thing though, its possible...well atleast its more reasonable than "living on through sheer hatred"... but we are talking Star Wars here...so its more like "whatever phase George Lucas was in" ... "you guys should bring Darth Maul back...he is awesome! Maybe add the Ewoks..."

Not quite. Maul is Force Sensitive, Padme is not. That does make a huge difference. Basically what Maul did was a corrupted version of the Force Spirits we see for Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda or Anakin. Only instead of becoming all sparkly and at peace with the Force, he tethered his spirit to his old Meat Suit until it could be repaired by Talzin.

You're a big guy.
The most impressive thing is that they made Anakin a likable, occassionally tragic, character.
AbsolutBro

Yes?
Just like anakin, he used the dark side to survive otherwise lethal wounds and keep himself alive
He himself refers to it as teachings from Sidious

Sorry your explanation just hits everything I hate about sci fi nerds and the obsession with explaining everything.
Darth Maul = Jedi = space wizard
Padme = not a space wizard
Edit: also complaining about sci-fi nerds in a thread about Star Wars on a gaming forum??

Not just in the UK, those are all over the states as well. Are they really Haynes manuals?

I love this thread so much.
Fuck.ing.Christ.
I saw someone bitching about it just tonight on another forum. They said that they "won't be watching the new movies because they threw out the EU and replaced it with fan-fiction looking cash grabs". I feel like I should just respond with a link to this thread.
That one's just a photoshop.

Remember the skull that Luke tosses at the control panel in the rancor pit in Return of the Jedi?
Did you know that the skull has a rich backstory? Did you know it once shared a rivalry with Han Solo?
