well... I'm still reading the thing, but as I see it for now: does it contradict the last episode of the Clone Wars series 2 or not?

it is about star wars?

yes

now i know who voted for it.

yeah, I did

plus all other SW-obsessed ppl.
(i didn't mean it in negative sense)

How do you mean Yerssie? Conflict? I loved this book. One of the better EU things I thought.

well, the part I'm at now, they're setting things up for a battle... but them being in that specific place is about to contradict what episode 25 of the Clone Wars series showed

I'm not that far in the book yet....just picked it up yesterday, and I've gone through the first chapter.
Seems to be good thus far.

Um quite a few battles in this book babe. Can you be more specific?

I wish I could but I kinda forgot where they were... I read very sporadic in this one

nevermind, I was wrong

Kinda thought you might be but I was discreetly not mentioning it.

No yerss, you're right.

The final battle on Coruscant when they "kidnap" Palpatine conflicts with Clone Wars Volume 2 Ep. 25. They have their own version of the same battle and the two stories are similar, yet have different characters. I noticed this when I was watching Clone Wars the other day.

BTW, I finished the book ages ago, a must read for any Star Wars Expanded Universe fan.

9.5/10

thanks JP... I feel sane now

yeah Lance, but that's not what I ment actually but indeed, it goes differently, like in the series Grievous jumps through the window while in the book some battledroids get in first

It definately goes differently in many scenes, but Clone Wars IMO isn't the same as a novel. I'll stick with the novel because it ties in directly into the films, whereas the series has more creative license.

and they show their jedi as supermen

That's true.

I like the show and everything, but to me it's even more non-canon then the books.

becaues you wuv books

That is true, but like you mentioned, the cartoon exaggerates too much.

Had to put this down so I could read the NOVELIZATION....

isn't it better to read this one first since it comes right before the novel/movie?

Yeah, s'pose, but my buddy was in more of a rush to read it....
....so I lent it to him, and bought the NOVELIZATION....

I finished it and the ending is better than the start of the book

so does this book set things up for epidode 3?
