It isn't flawless, but I agree that the hate for it was ridiculously overblown. Unbridled9 posted... Yea... No. I'm gonna have to say you're being stupid here. Especially since, as I pointed out, they're a stark and distinct contrast to the empire. Having an army of clowns taking over planets by honking their magic nose horn at it would also be a stark and distinct contrast to the Empire, but it wouldn't make them any good. I'm with PO - the Vong were absolutely fucking terrible, and that's coming from someone who loved the EU up to that point. The Vong did what I thought at the time nothing would make me do: it made me stop reading Star Wars books. They're just...aggressively bad. An army of BDSM-fanatics from outside the galaxy that fly around in magic coral ships that are nigh-imprevious to conventional weapons, have living armour and weapons that are immune to lightsabers, have no presence in the Force, and are from a planet that is both sentient and able to travel through hyperspace. Like... OK, one or two of those traits might have made for a compelling villainous force, but it's like Del Ray just threw together every ridiculous contrivance they could come up with and hoped everyone would be fine with it. The Vong were terribly written and should never have been a thing. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:922598471] in The Last J... [t:77749496]...</cite> <quote>TLJ was better than TFA and the prequels, worse than RO and the OT.
