I really must get some new Star wars books. I have just finished rereading Wraith Squadron for the seventh time and need something new to read.

Either you get some of the prequel stuff....or, like me, you wait until 2005 for the post NJO series....sigh

I really must get some new Star wars books. I have just finished rereading Wraith Squadron for the seventh time and need something new to read.

 

Why not reread the Crystal Star or the Black Fleet Crisis seven more time???

I actually try to get the books in order so the out of print-factor is against me

Trej! You Yuuzhan Vong fiend! You're trying to kill the poor guy! No one could possibly live through that much boredom!

Followed by Barbara Hambly's Children of the Jedi and the other book where Daala finds her highschool boyfriend again...

Her highschool boyfriend?

Trej we get the point ok? Well umm...there are two possibilities

You're trying to kill Mad....or you're trying to make a point about how many bad star wars books there are....

Perhaps I'm trying to do both...

I thought it was the kill Mad one, clearly he didn't catch on to your evil plans....Sigh poor Mad. When will he learn about how evil Yuuzhan Vong are?

Trej how dare you you %&%6546547HVLjéldgdlfkné97&/&%ç(/&%)(/&09875è0698T'08UT45HP86)&%)/(&%8OUTZàPHIè0N9UéO4IU0TZU560PU'96<965)(7607^98'ZIèZ9I4¨7'

[stops to take his breath]

I don't think it would be possible to read does books more than once.

And I must say that I find The Wraith Squadron series very good compared to the books you referred to higher up. The characters are very charismatic. Agamar for ever!!!

[Trej turns a nod into a head bob]

 

X-Wing series, in general, are great. The above-mentioned, one are definitely in the list of the unreadable...

 

BTW, do not challenge the great Warmaster of the Yuuzhang Vong... He could hurt you...

[checks his computer for viruses]

Apparently I haven't challenged you anought. Maybe I should start a thread called which sw book do you think is the worst?

I think we may had one a long long time ago..

 

You'll get your usual ones, Crystal Star, Black Fleet, Bounty Hunter Wars, Darksaber, Children of the Jedi, Planet of Twilight, New Rebellion, Truce at Bakura, Corellian Crisis.

I didn't think Truce at Bakura was that bad. Trej you've listed about half of the EU universe there

Oh and I forgot the Jedi Academy Trilogy... And some books from NJO (Dark Journey, especially) and the Young Jedi Knights....

 

Half the EU sucks, only a few authors have managed to work up the magic of Star Wars. Zahn, Allston, Stackpole have done great jobs with it. Salvatore, Luceno and Denning, have too, to some extent.

Well I guess that's true but in honesty I haven't read most of the books you mentioned...I guess I'll consider myself lucky

One reason I read a lot of SW books is to find out more about this fantastic univers

The only SW books I didn't like were any of the Ep1-2. I didn't wate time on the childrens novels so I'm not sure how they were. All of the books Trej mentioned I liked, they just weren't the "brain candy" that most SW books are so you had to sort of think while reading them. As for the Black Fleet Crisis, I read the first book and thought I was reading the second book, but it was actually the third. Strange thing is, I didn't even notice.

It's a bit like film my farther told me about. At the cinema the camerman mixed up the films and passed the third part before the second and nobody noticed.

I think it shows really bad writing if something like that can happen. But maybe I was just too bored with the actual story-line to notice?

I think I will reready that book to refresh my memory.

Basically some enslaved aliens rebel against the imperials running a hidden collection of planets that no one really knew about and then want to attack the New Republic. Meanwhile, Lando is chasing after some ship that randomly moves through hyperspace. he finds it and does some stuff, gets stuck on it for a while and then gets off. The Aliens are defeated afterthier leader is thrown into hyperspace in an escape pod.

Ahhhh I remember. Not one of my favorite ones.

What happened to the SSD, I recall reading somewhere that it hyped into the Unknown REgions and the Chiss got away with it.

Mabe you can find out in the unofficial encyclopedia.
