Ha! At long last, I return! And holy cow have things changed around here... very different look and feel these days. Dark Nest is probably my favorite thing to happen to the EU since the NJO ended. It's been a blast to get going, though I haven't ha...  [Read More]

Meh, perhaps. It depends on how he's written. Honestly, I've got a bad feeling about his character, but I coudl be pleasantly surprised. I hope I am, but I'm not counting on it - I'm already having visions of yet more whiny Skywalker-ness. Luke's mo...  [Read More]

I don't know... Luke single-handedly rebuilt the Jedi order from the ruins of the Empire. No, seriously, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with that statement... it's Sue Rostoni's quote, not mine. :D Course, I'm going to disagree with you on Anakin...  [Read More]

Lumiya, of course. Not that I've read that series, but I do recall that much. You'd be surprised how much you pick up reading through the lit boards over at TF.N... :p I would guess that, given the immense popularity of the KotOR games and the new...  [Read More]

Yeah, yeah. It's been a long time since I researched that era. Leave me alone. :rolleyes: Really, it's just double proof of my point. I couldn't remember; it was a long day that day. So be quiet over there, Modman Astro. *growls menacingly* Nice ima...  [Read More]

Ahem... I'd refer to my second-to-last post on this thread... :rolleyes: :p Anyways. While it might include Dash Rendar, it would likely be in a cameo if anything, as he's not involved in any way with the Rebellion until the time of his being hired...  [Read More]

hey ! It's Keralys !! Nice to see ya back man !! It's good to be back. Life is at a place at last where I can venture here a bit again. I liked Labyrinth of Evil. And I read it before the last set of Clone Wars came out, so they really annoyed me. I...  [Read More]

Zahn is also working on a novel set somewhere between ANH and TESB, which should be interesting. He said it'll be fun since Luke won't be a Jedi, though hopefully not whiny either (his words, not mine), Han and Leia bickering, and lots of Mara Jade....  [Read More]

I still love them. I loved them when I read them one summer when a neighbor lent them to me; he knew I liked reading. And I've been hooked ever since. But even I, a fairly strong Zahn fan, will admit that TTT in particular is, as Astro put it, very...  [Read More]

I hate canon... That aside, though, I think I can be a little constructive. As Lucas has said he'll be writing the first season himself, then letting it go from there, I'm guessing that will fall under "C-canon" (shouldn't that technically...  [Read More]

Hey ! I wasnt being sarcastic ! I just thought that if he cant enjoy SBS then he shouldnt bother with the NJO and stick to something familiar, like Zahn and his *groan* over-recycled and over-used themes... yep, cool in 1990. But c'mon its 15 damn ye...  [Read More]

Actually, I thought Star by Star fit the series like a glove; without spoiling anything it's definitely the Empire Strikes Back of the saga. It's a lot to take in, though; a lot of different plots are running in a lot of different directions. However...  [Read More]

There could be a lot of interesting stuff coming up. I find it interesting that TD is literally writing half of the post-NJO books (six of twelve) scheduled for the next three years. This species won't be anything like the Vong obviously; TD's first...  [Read More]
Kurgan can eat it if he wants to start a "canon" fight with me... :p Meaning no offense, Kurgan, but you'd lose. I'm now officially the expert on these boards when it comes to officialdom, given how much research I've done it. If Nate Butle...  [Read More]
I think the only real "gray area" falls in the post-ROTJ era. I believe that of all those who succumbed to the dark side, Tavion and her followers, as well as Kyle himself during the Dromuund Kaas incident best fit the description Sith. The...  [Read More]

I'd have to update my list at this point. The old one no longer holds true, sadly, though I still love all of those. Why? Why you ask? Because I read Republic Commando: Hard Contact. :D There's nothing quite like Karen Traviss. She's now in my top f...  [Read More]

Exactly. Scary is about the only word I can possibly come up with to describe it. My little sister was working on a "book" a while back, and though her narrative wasn't bad, that was about how her dialogue was. And she writes better now tha...  [Read More]
