Airport internet doesn't seem to want to let me watch it.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Blame myspace, it won't load for me either.

Christ, I hate Karen Travis. The LotF series has been overall pretty good, but each time I get to one of her books its difficult to get through because she sucks so hard. Also, I purchased the Thrawn Trilogy, which for some reason I have yet to read, Allegiance (which is also by Timothy Zahn), and Shadows of the Empire. Now I have like 6 and a half books to read. Then I'm gonna start the NJO books, which is another 19, then the Dark Nest (3). Fuck. Being a SW fanboy is tough work.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

It's true. Let me know how that other Zahn book is. I looooved the Thrawn trilogy.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I really think its kinda absurd that theres 19 NJO books.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

Isn't it the deal of different authors telling the story? Because if it's just one dude then woah.

Paint me pink, that's a lot of books. I couldn't get past Vector Prime. Maybe I should just skip it and get onto Boba Fett. Mmm, Fetts.

Just finished the last of the Legacy of the Force books. Overall Thoughts:
Very good, with the exception of Karen Traviss' books. Worth forcing yourself through hers, though. Good ending. Troy Denning's entries were great, i'll be checking out more of his stuff for sure.

I'm looking forward to this series:

Fate of the Jedi is a nine-book, all hardback series set two years[1] after the events of the Legacy of the Force series being authored by Aaron Allston, Christie Golden, and Troy Denning in a cyclical style similar to the Legacy of the Force series.

The Random House spring catalog PDF said this regarding the upcoming Fate of the Jedi series:

“Fate of the Jedi launches a huge story arc, with heroic roles for the galaxy’s most beloved characters — Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, and their surviving children, Ben Skywalker and Jaina Solo. While Luke and Ben set off on the journey of a lifetime — of discovery and hardship, of obstacles and victories—the others remain in more familiar territory, dealing with the aftermath of the civil war that rocked the galaxy in the Legacy of the Force.“

THE FUTURE AWAITS...

'It has been two years since the death of Darth Caedus. Chief of State Natasi Daala has ushered the Galactic Alliance into a time of unprecented calm, and now the entire galaxy stands poised to freely embrace the same enduring peace that Jacen Solo once sought to impose as a Sith Lord.'

In this new era, Luke Skywalker finds himself battling control of the very order he founded. After Jacen's fall to the dark side, much of the galaxy sees Jedi Knights as rogue soldiers too dangerous and unstable to leave unfettered. It is a view shared by Chief Daala, who has sworn to bring the order under government control--or disband it entirely.

But the greatest threat to the Jedi remains unseen, a faceless menace even more lethal and insidious than the Sith who have plagued the Jedi for millennia. Awakened by Jacen Solo during his five-year odyseey, this hidden peril is reaching out from the darkest corner of the galaxy, assaulting Jedi Knights in ways that even Luke has yet to perceive--but which he must quickly thwart if he is to have any hope of redeeming the New Jedi Order.

Originally, Karen Traviss was set to author three of the books, but was replaced by Golden because of Traviss' busy writing schedule.

No Karen Traviss! Excellent!

My library didn't have most of the Legacy books, especially not the first one. So I went with another Orson Scott Card book until Ender's Shadow arrives and Allegiance by Timothy Zahn which is apparently right after ANH. Run on sentence!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Ya know, I hate Karen Traviss' books in the LotF, but apparently her Republic Commando books (spin off of the game, i guess) supposedly delves deeply into Mandalorian culture, so I'm a little interested because I'm a bit of a Fandalorian.

 

[Jace_Mereel]

I'm annoyed there's no "is" on the mando'a wookieepdia page.
