My fav Jedi too. Since he’s your fav I need to ask a question. My only real knowledge of this character comes from the Vong war & I haven’t read that in 20 years. Please tell me, am I remembering wrong or were his force powers a little different than the norm? Currently in process of hunting down the NJO series again but only have about half of it now.
@@tomhur1 was that it? Like I said, it’s been about 20 years since I read it, I could have sworn there was something about him not being able to use telekinesis but, like I said, could be misremembering a lot. Edit: thank you for getting back to me! Appreciate it!😁
First time I saw the character of Corran Horn, it was a photo on a traiding card game card. The guy posing was Michael A Stackpole, the X-Wing books author. That likeness has stuck on my mind since then and the way he is portrayed in comics and other media seems wrong to me. Also he's one of my favorite characters.
technically the balfour trees were special because the biotech of the yuuzhan vong were allergic to its pollen, not that it could penetrate their armor, its just caused it to die and shrivel up strangling the warrior inside, great vid!! I miss the real star wars!!
It's just more Disney baiting to try to get EU fans to stop asking for new books and comics. Also narrative control because now every mass-media site worth their salt is gonna flood the message "Corran Horn is back" and thus we are drowned out, and it feeds the illusion they're giving something of value to the EU fans when they are not.
I skipped the last part of this video as I'm just getting into the New Jedi Order series and didn't want things spoiled. Overall, I like Corran Horn pretty well as a character from what I've read so far. I really enjoyed the X-wing books but I have to admit that I found I, Jedi to be a rather mixed bag (way too long and the pacing was really uneven). Still, I am excited to read the next two NJO books where Corran is said to feature quite prominently. Vector Prime was pretty good and Michael Stackpole is one of the better Legends writers.
I saw it once by myself and have no desire to pay to see it again, compared to TFA where I went four times and probably bought seven tickets for that film total.
Nope. It's just a name. It won't be the same Corran Horn you know because his stories were destroyed, exterminated, nuked back in 2014. It isn't the same character, just another person with that same name. You're falling into more marketing traps and nostalgia bait.
@@saberiandream316 There is more than his name in the credits. His mum‘s name is Nyche (same in EU) And his father‘s name (Valin Halcyon) is written on the wooden wall in Kenobi episode 3. He and his mother want to travel to Correlia and his age is about right too. He is 100% Corran Horn, but maybe you are right and his original story isn’t possible anymore.
@@Lazlowzky SO WHAT? The timeline has changed due to the reboot. His stories will NOT be the same, won't be the Corran Horn you knew and remember and love. I don't WANT something "made canon again," _I want it continued._ So long as you're getting happy with stripping down legacy characters to be altered, revised, changed, and recycled in a less interesting way, you enable the Disney problem.
@@saberiandream316 It's okay, I don't know the story of Corran Horn at all. I have to agree with you, if the real story is no longer tellable, then better leave it. But it's strange that they give us so many references to this character in 2 episodes now. They are up to something.
@@Lazlowzky Yeah, sorry that I'm coming off so strong. But after being ignored by Lucasfilm for EIGHT YEARS in the Legends fandom, it's left me jaded. They are the real problem. No ill will towards you. Keep on chugging.
To me legends is cannon and Disney cannon is legends they aliennate the fuck out star wars fans when try delete all of star wars history just fit into there shitty Disney films.
Yes, Disney is all about PR spin and narrative control, so these pandering easter eggs are just attempts to try to feed the impression that they're giving something to EU fans, when they are not. EU fans want new stories, better reprints, or animated adaptations. To date, we have had none of that. The casual fandom just turn it into clapping seals for the next cheap thrills, and on the cycle continues.
Dave filoni and John favreau have making attempts at mending this. I hope whatever they decide to do is a positive addition to the star wars cinematic universe. It would be really cool to see them bring corran horn into the cinematic universe but I worry that they might do it wrong and bring more division amongst Star Wars fans
Corran Horn, Pilot, Jedi Knight, Husband, Father, Hero of the Galaxy, and my favorite Star Wars character of all time.
definitely one of the GOAT!

@@jonwalker8945 Yeah basically he was skilled with Force Persuade more than normal Jedi.

@@jonwalker8945 It was both. He wasn't able to use telekinesis but his mind trick power was amped up to compensate.

I can understand. First impressions usually stick with you the longest, however I prefer his later appearance personally, but to each their own!
Yesss!!! Those books were so good.
technically the balfour trees were special because the biotech of the yuuzhan vong were allergic to its pollen, not that it could penetrate their armor, its just caused it to die and shrivel up strangling the warrior inside, great vid!! I miss the real star wars!!
And now he might have appeard on " Obi-wan " episode 3 as the young child with the mother.

He had the best response to Luke ever. He has been right down there, where light meets dark.
the Yuuzhan Vong Vonduun crab armor was allergic to the pollen of the Bafforr tree it had nothing to do with the structure of the trees.
I try to be brief in my videos, that's why I encourage anyone who wants to check out the full story on their own.

Yes I, Jedi is definitely an odd one with its FPN but I thought it was clever how he was worked into the Jedi Academy trilogy.
I say anyone who is sick of disney do NOT pay anything to the rise of skywalker tickets,toys and merchs and send my message to everyone
I saw it once by myself and have no desire to pay to see it again, compared to TFA where I went four times and probably bought seven tickets for that film total.
AMEN!
He is canon now.
->The little boy and his mother in the Kenobi show.
