Sure, SOTE fills up the gap between ESB and ROTJ, but I woudn't consider it canon (I'll have you banned, Fett twisted: ). Dash, Guri and Xizor are too undeveloped. Dash is just one Han Solo wannabe. Guri is a droid that looks good and obeys her master, and Xizor is an overgrown lizard that hates Vader. Too reptilian for my taste, and Black Sun is an organization that I despise. I even have a better impression of Jabba's organization. (Must be the Twi'Leks). The details as the acquisitions of Boussh's armor, the construction of the lightsaber and the Bothan plans, do not make the book good enough. They are funny small details built in the novel, simply because they had to. Plus SOTE is far too verdone. It's a game, a book, a comic, and what-not. They even "resurrected" Dash Rendar. It's even worse than the Rogue Squadron franchise. So I'd rather have the Rogues in TV, be it as a miniseries or as series. An animated series... As long as Lucas doesn't turn it into three-minute episodes and it doesn't turn out like the "dreaded" holiday special, nor does he replace Ooryl with a Gungan..shiver. Makes one wonder if they make a series, who'd they cast for it, for Iceheart, Corran, Mirax...
