Calibrus: I stopped caring about Han Solo after he let Greedo shoot first in the cantina. Best to just put that wuss out of his misery with a lightsaber.
HAN.
SHOT.
FIRST.
Anything else is just a lie spread by that bearded BASTARD.
I've seriously lost all desire for Star Wars products now after all this milkage, I'm only going to look at SW:TOR because it's made by Bioware. Seriously, Kurtz was right that Lucas needs someone to smack him back down to Earth...
StingingVelvet: The only Star Wars books I read were Zahn's original trilogy and I loved them. I was a lot younger then though, so who knows if I would like them now.
Yep same here aside from Truce at Bakura. I remember that the first one seemed obssessed with quoting the movies constantly and seemed to be badly written as a result, but the second and third were awesome and brilliant from what I remember, so I guess he just had difficulty finding his feet, and he introduced one of the best characters in the EU: Admiral Thrawn!
You should read some of his other books if you haven't already, his Conquerer's Trilogy (I think that's what it was called, been decades since I read them) were really good, one book telling the story of the war from one side and the second from the other.
