Star Wars: 7 Dumbest Moments In The Expanded Universe

6. Luke Skywalker€™s Wedding - Disaster Averted

wars wedd The comic in which Luke Skywalker marries Mara Jade is actually pretty funny. I remember it as full of assassination attempts, spa visits, and random lightsaber fights. Comedy in the EU is always easier to deal with than seriousness. And Mara Jade really was very badass. Anyway, the €œperil€ that all Star Wars everything have to have was, in this case, a disgruntled former imperial with a daring and dangerous plan. That happens ALL THE TIME in the EU: it€™s a normal kind of dumb. What made it REALLY dumb was the resolution. Mr. €œI€™m going to destroy the entire Republic by knocking out all communications with a special computer virus€ (You don€™t realize how stupid this stuff is until you finish typing it) is talked out of it by Mr. Compassionate Jedi Skywalker. The bad guy just gets talked into liking peace. Then there€™s dancing and moonlight. It€™s the definition of stupid.
