Star Wars: 7 Dumbest Moments In The Expanded Universe

By Rebecca Kulik /

7. The Ghosts Of Tattooine

Alright, you can yell at me on this one if you€™d like because I don€™t remember it too clearly. I really enjoyed this novel, because for a while it did a really good job of knitting the old and new trilogy together in some mission where Han and Leia had to recover this Alderaanian painting from an art auction. Okay, that there sounded really dumb, but I swear it seemed plausible while I read it, so it can€™t have been that bad€ Anyway, the thing I remember being REALLY STUPID about this novel is that Anakin€™s childhood friend (he filled the multiracial quotient for Tattooine, and got a line or two. His name was Kitster. Don€™t ask me how I know) talks about being at Sand People storytime (he was captured and held prisoner, it was complicated). Apparently, they started jumping around and making lightsaber noises while mimicking slaughter. Anakin didn€™t leave any survivors. So how the hell did they know to tell the story?
