I didn't read 'em because I only like books with PICTURES. I just read the whole backstory on the star wars wikie because there are references to it in Legacy. I'm a little reluctant to get into Star Wars novels because I get the impression that most of them are really childish and dumb.
It's been a long time since I've read any SW novels. I remember I, Jedi being good as well as the Thrawn Trilogy by Zahn. There was also one that focused a lot on Solo and trying to impress Leia, ending up on a planet of witches and rancors...
I think I knew this, but need to find them anyways!
It was would be fantastic if Thrawn was given a movie. He's witty, intelligent, power, and an art connoisseur. That's just too darn dreamy.
