Well yeah know he did apologize and I suppose if Tycho can forgive him and me his friend then I can forgive him too. *grins* unless I read the first three books again *lol*

WHAT

, the first three were the best,(other than the 4th), how could u say that

, it seems we are destined to disagree on this arent we

Diamond9697 · 28th January 2003, 02:52 PM

*lol* not on the first four books being the best of the X-Wing series. On that I whole-heartedly agree. Although ya gotta love Face and Wes in the Wraith books. It's just on the fact that I didn't like Corran Horn during those first three books.

timdgreat · 28th January 2003, 06:31 PM

why not he was great. well whatever, and yes i did like the Wraiths, and the chase after Warlord Zsing(spelling????) but my favorite book of the X-wing series most definetly was Starfighters of Adumar, i loved the humor and the fact that we got to hear about the best of the New republic has to offer for starfighter, i loved it:rolly2:

Diamond9697 · 30th January 2003, 08:36 PM

Cause Corran was mean that's why *lol* great character though. Ahhh....Starfighters of Adumar....excelent book and it has some of the best quotes in it too!

timdgreat · 30th January 2003, 09:35 PM

he was not mean, a little egotistical but not mean:rolly2:

Diamond9697 · 31st January 2003, 06:27 PM

*snerks* a little? He is a Corellian after all....they don't have little ego's

timdgreat · 31st January 2003, 08:06 PM

some do

, well none that i have ever heard of, but u know what i mean

, so what do u think of Thrawn? aint he the best charecter ever?:rolly2: :rolly2:

Diamond9697 · 18th February 2003, 04:16 PM

I think he was definitly one of them. He had a lot of depth that they don't often give to the evil characters in the books. Very cool that he was more of a stratigist rather than a brute force kind of guy.

pkgrl · 18th February 2003, 05:09 PM

I loved the detail that he learned about the societies he planned to infiltrate or destroy by studying their art work. Very intuitive.

timdgreat · 19th February 2003, 01:27 AM

yeah i never understood that, how do u learn about a culture from their art, i mean thats only a portion a races society that makes the art so how do u get flaws out that??

:rolly2:

pkgrl · 19th February 2003, 12:24 PM

He studied their approach to art (which says a lot about a culture) as well as the subject matter, style, and execution (including materials used) to see how they think. Art is a reflection of the culture. It told him how they approach things, what they think of issues, what their position is on war, freedom, slavery, etc.

Thrawn (as a character) was much smarter than me, so I wouldn't be able to do this nearly as well as he did, but that's the gist.

Personally, my favorite new characters from the EU are Talon Karrde and Mara.

I like the smuggler types, I guess.

timdgreat · 20th February 2003, 01:30 AM

well i dont think i will ever get to that level of thought, but dang if that wasnt a diffrent approach to finding ur enemys weaknesses,

Thrawn is just on of my favorites, i my first choice would have to be Corran horn, i just really got to liking him and WEdge ANtilles in the X-wing novels
