To a lot of fans, Star Wars is far more than just the movies. The "Expanded Universe" includes novels, comic books and video games that, to many fans, define Star Wars even more than the films that started this phenomenon.

I think it's one of those internet things. The people who don't care (like me) rarely say anything about it because we don't care. I grew up without an EU. I was a teenager when Zahn wrote the Thrawn trilogy. I liked those books, but before long the EU became convoluted and ridiculous in my eyes. Just a bunch of…

I'm pretty shocked so many people seem to be ok with this. All the Star Wars fans i know are pretty pissed about the destruction of the eu. It had it's problems, but on the whole was pretty amazing considering the amount of people that contributed. Personally i love the eu and this has killed pretty much any interest…

is one of those "who's getting the most buzz" graphics that are as ubiquitous as they are useless.

Or they're playing a very capable opponent who is at home?

So let me get this straight. After years of devotion, when she literally gave her blood to put a smile on his face, things get a little stormy and he suddenly can't be tied down anymore, so he just floats off into the distance, deaf to her crying out his name and pleading for him to come back? This is a terrible time…

This being Washington state, she should at least be able to get a dime.

Yet another instance of Russell being too small for the position.

This makes no sense. I can scribble with a pencil and probably generate a bit of graphene along with a bunch of graphite. But I can't separate them and I can't do anything particularly special with graphene pieces that are that small. How is this any better? Besides now being covered with soap.

About halfway through this article the author started using 'graphene' for 'graphite' and its all a confusing mess.

Yes. The entire city of Seattle banded together to draft them. It certainly wasn't executives at a business that was later allowed to move. I bet you are still mad about losing that 100-meter race on field day in second grade, too. Let it go.

trading away top ten players at the beginning of their prime has always worked out well, right? if presti trades away BOTH harden and westbrook, i think he'd earn a giant monument in the annals of professional sports idiocy.

Really? Thanks for teaching me how to ready, buddy. My point is, why should a city and fan base, even one that was mistreated and screwed over, take more credit for these players than the architect of the team?

"No, I drafted those guys. Fuck you." - Sam Presti

On one hand, I get you — I can't even imagine what it's like as a fan to have your franchise taken from you, and have to watch them thrive in another city's colors. On the other, Westbrook never suited up for a team called the Sonics, and it's not like he and Durant were just gifted to a new team and front office.…

I find it very hard to believe that this movie is not utter garbage.

Great article about a great toy, but I have to call you out on something. You said that kids "tend to hate feeling like they're actually learning". That's not been my experience with my own kids or the many young folks I've taught. In fact, they love to learn! What they don't like is being lectured to or force-fit…

You mean he'd be a millionaire who gets to travel all over America and has a smoking hot wife? I think I might be able to bear that.

I'm a "gun nut," and while conservative, i've never set foot in a church in my life (other than the occasional wedding or whatnot).

I'm telling you anti-vaccination nuts are going to upset the Beliebers in the final match. They literally put everyone's health at risk with their idiocy. A breakout of mumps and measles in 2014! Beliebers are annoying. But they only make you want to kill, they don't do the deed themselves.
