read the topic

well, then you missed something

Hmmm I recently found out they existed and still have not read any of them

I've read about 50 books total of Star Wars...I'm 16 pages into Force Heretic 2.

well, most of the books are boring, so it's not that bad

Boring? What are you smoking yerssot?

(agrees with yerss)

on occasion some pot

well, Lance, I have +/- 30 books at home from SW,
I can pick out 15 orso which are about superweapons or about Luke mysteriously being unable to use his Forcepowers while being on a certain planet.

If NJO wasn't written, I would never have bought ANY SW book ever again! NJO is also very average, but compared to the other books I have they are all outstanding, because the level of these SW books is very low!

aw man, youre missing out on the rest of the SW saga!

you gotta read at least the earlier ones (the Timothy Zahn stuff is great, Mara Jade's one of My favorite characters!)

Bad yerss!!!

No pot smoking!

I do with my health what I want in my own spare time, no ?

but DO keep this ontopic!

Whatever, if you didn't want it to be talked about you wouldn't have answered the question that was meant as a joke.

Lance, I never made it a secret you know
anything to add to the point that sw books are rather dull?

star wars book i mean wheres the fun in that i mean wheres the action star wars is such a visual movie i mean playing out the scenees in ur mind must suck

definately read NJO.....BTW Final Profecy is out now

yeah, I know jules, I'm hoping to get a good read of FH II and III and then around 20 october, I should get FP

good boy......go get it:-)

I've read some of Timothy Zahn's stuff too Slayer, Mara Jade is pretty cool, I like that Leia is training as a Jedi too!!

Don't get used to Leia training though.

Which book should someone who's only recently heard about these books start with? What do you suggest/recommend?

Heir of the Empire

A mini-synopsis?

basicly, you have this grandadmiral named Thrawn who comes back from conquering planets in the outer rim, and he sees the empire has been destroyed and he then wants to kill off everyone in the rebel alliance.
For that he uses new star destroyers and troopers
(but I can't reveal much more without telling spoilers)

Was Thrawn in the Timothy Zahn novels?? Is Heir of The Empire part of that trilogy?? I'm so confused...

Okay I will look out for this. I guess I have to start somewhere, right?

The first SW novel Zahn wrote was about thrawn yes,
Heir of the Empire is part of the trilogy of ... Heir of the empire (at least I think that's the title)
forgot the other two titles

its heir to the empire, dark force rising(i think), then the last command.
at last count i have over 70 eu books and cross section books and guides. i like the thrawn trilogy because of jorus cobath, the noghri and the ysalamari.

yeah, found it on the website

lance, FYI...the force heretic series is a real letdown. i hate to say it, but those authors suck.

Shatterpoint is pretty good...

That's the one!! Thanx RJ--they're the only ones I've read but I liked them!!

no prob.....check out these.....
shadows of the empire
the courtship of princess leia
darth maul: shadow hunter
the truce at bakura


also, start the new jedi order series.

I've heard about The Courtship Of Princess Leia and The Truce Of Bakura, can't find many of them now...

try bookstop....if they dont have it, they will special order it for you.

Oh, Ok...thanx

no prob.

I've read just about all of them. A few of my favorites are Darksaber, The Thrawn trilogy-hier to the empire, dark force rising and the last command- and star by star--------------the new one Darth Bane Path of Destruction isn't bad either

The best is Darth Bane: Path of destruction. Several PT ones such as Labyrinth of Evil, The Caestus Deception, Shatterpoint, Shadowhunter, Dark Rendezvous, The Approaching Storm, and that's about it.
