I Jedi is such a good book. Re-reading it.

Really? I got a bit annoyed with Corran's self-righteous thinking after a while. Then again it was a good book when compared to most non-starwars stuff

Impossible!

But I don't think I could get through I Jedi again. I have the hardest time with first person. I don't know why.

I agree first person seems very limiting in some ways and annoying too. you know the main character can't die. Started Heir to the Empire by Tim Zahn and so far its very good.

In the Jasper Fforde books a first person narrated book (Jayne Eyre) has the protagonist kidnapped out of it. The book just stops!

[biodroid]

That would be annoying too. Did the story at least have some resolution to it

[Joel007]

Well, the Jayne Eyre book stops. The story of rescuing Jayne is what The Eyre Affair is about

Corran does get annoying but I handle it cause I like the story.

Damn you for the first time reading of Thrawn trilogy. I want to read them for the first time again.

I'm glad someone agrees cause they are such great books and really all Zahn had to go off was the first three films.

The x-wing series are the best...so much so that I went and got the entire Dark Horse comic series (which aren't your typical "comic books"). I really need to get new copies of the x-wing series...mine are worn out from reading and re-reading. Majimaune, you have only gotten to Solo Command, you've got some really great ones to read ahead of you. Starfighters of Adumar is the absolute best!

Be prepared to laugh your head off....do not read in a public place....you will definitely get strange looks! You have been warned!

I tried to get into the New Jedi Order, but the first one left such a BAD taste in my mouth that I never bothered to read any others. It was such a bad experience that I even wrote a short story to circumvent it! (mischievious smile)

However, I did break down and read Aaron Alston and Michael Stackpole's books out of the NJO series. Tells you just how highly I think of their books!

The Han Solo trilogies are pretty good as well.

I agree, the books dealing with the Yuuzhon Vong, left a bad taste in mouth. yes, there had to be SOMETHING so the all powerful jedi could get the air punctured out of them, and since the republic had become a band of petty squabbling whiners, something needed to be done, but sheesh. we're winning, oops nevermind losing, no wait winning.....
not to mention knocking off characters left and right.

of course there was also the change made direct from the movies.... how DARE Jedi reproduce!!!!! a lot of reeling in the books because of the movie required changes.

SoA is the only one I haven't been able to get my hands on. I have been to almost every bookstore around me. There is one in the city that I intend on going to sometime soon though. Its called Galaxy Books. The whole thing is Sci-fi and Fantasy. Love it.

A friend gave me a comic book of SW yesterday and I started reading it. It was set 125 years after RotJ and the Sith were rising back to power with the Empire. I only got about half way cause it was from the library and was overdue but it seemed pretty awesome. Cade Skywalker was the central character. We thought he might be Ben's grandson.

Ah, another reason to live in England! I found it surprisingly easy to get hold of all the Star-Wars books I wanted. I still have many to read, and I don't think I'll read the rest of the New Jedi Order books, I've read the beginning and the end, and a few in the middle. I see no reason to go back through them more meticulously as I find them to be one of the weaker series.

NJO doesn't interest me too much. I mean sure I'll probably end up reading them if they every get into a library I can access but I don't think I'll buy them.
