...for me it would have to be The Crystal Star. It's like a very bad fanfiction.

so far, anyway. I haven't read enough to say that IT IS the worst.

so.. thoughts? other nominees?

The Crystal Star definitely. Extra dimensional beings is crossing the line.

Crystal Star and Jedi Trial tie.

Which is that one where Leia's heat is turned in to a diamond, and a bunch of Stormtroopers aren't sent through time?

well, i actually stopped reading Jedi Twilight because it just didn't hold my interest (midway through the 2nd book) That is the first Star Wars material that I have ever begun without finishing.

I tried reading a few of the NJO books and quit out of sheer boredom. The catch about creating a villain with no Force connection is that is makes the authors write about what and how the Jedi perceive everything. Boring as hell. Ironic, that.

The unified force, or whatever, the last Vong wars book, couldnt hold my attention. Boring to me.

I thought it was interesting.

...I don't read the NJO books. something about it bugs me, and I'm not sure what.

I know, Luke the Force God is in it.

I heard Outbound Flight was bad, but I haven't actually read any SW books I didnt atleast somewhat enjoy.

Survivors Quest was the worst, I didn't finish it. I also couldn't finish Rule of Two. Those are the worst I've read.

The truly awful ones from the NJO I avoid, I've read a select few stuff from the NJO and that was mostly pre uber Luke NJO.

Thank you, someone who else found Rule of Two... sub par. Though personally, I felt it was okay, it's just not the epic that some make it out to be.

Rule of two wasn't that great, but it isn't the worst either.

POD was okay. I hated LOTF bloodlines and i only bothered reading about boba in that book.

Yes, that's it! they turned Luke into a Gary Stu. WTH.

ditto. I sorta like young Jaina and Jacen and Anakin, but that's it. I didn't ever want them to grow up. >>.

The Rule of Two was a decent book. Not great but not bad. Path of Destruction was MUCH better. I wish they would make a book about Ragnos/Plagueis/Andeddu.

whats the book in the njo thats mainly about hapan politics? that one blows.

comics blow.

I would say the worst I ever read were these

Star Wars: Visions of the Future
Star Wars: Specter of the Past
The Entire NJO Series
(Luke the Force God SUCKS! I prefered Luke the Farmboy \ Hero \ Pilot \ Neophyte Jedi)

The Best I ever read would have to be these Four

Star Wars: Death Star
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Series
Star Wars: The Thrawn Series (Last Command ect)
Star Wars: Inferno

(if thats the one where Luke Dogfights against Caedus and Kasshyk is burnt into cinders)

I have read very few Star Wars novels, and then only the decent ones at worst.

Very good choices on the ones you prefer.

thx

I try to stay away from a lot of the Jedi stuff nowadays since they have turned both Jedi and Sith into crap force gods and uber force powers that can go back into time...its just ridiculous....

The title is something of a giveaway.

Yea you would think that wouldn't ya. =D

Jedi Trial was painfully un-Star Wars-like, and Splinter of the Mind's Eye was another horrid experience, which is borderline fan-faction.

Gideon's Palpatine essay.

Nephthys

Jealous that he's far more powerful, intelligent, important, and dare I say better looking than Bane?

Hm. Never read Jedi Trial. What era is that?

Splinter's is... well, bad imho. Although, I must say it is better written than Crystal Star..

Especially this picture of sidious, looks better than any sith lord.

The original illustration of the cloned emperor looked ridiculous, this one looks far more badass.

Anything with Thrawn in it.

Crystal Star is by far the worst. Ever. Don't touch it. It'll hurt you.

Really, the author should be put against a wall and shot, burned, have her ashes pissed on, and then fired into a far away star (not the Sun though, cause I'm worried some of that contamination might find it's way back to us. A more horrible skin cancer?)

WTF makes crystal star so bad? I never read it but if you guys say its crap then i won't even go near it.

It's a blight to literature as we know it. Shitty plot, shitty dialogue, shitty everything.

Christopher walken?

I thought Stellan Skarsgard.

While it is definately a younger version of darth sidious, he still looks relatively pale and he looks like in his early forties.

Hey! There are some Star Wars actors that can act. See, we have Harrison Ford, ... the dwarf in R2-D2, ehm, ... Mr. Lee and .... yeah.

Anyone who says Ian McDiarmid can't act should be defenestrated shortly after contracting severe genital horripilation.

Harrison Ford. Mr. Lee. Don't Forget Liam Neeson. And i've no problem with Ewan McGregor.

Portman was hot. But then she talks sometimes, and screws that up...

Alec Guinness is a good actor.

There.. that's about it.

Why not ian mcdiarmid? I thought he was the best actor in all of star wars other than mark hamil.

Hayden christensens anakin skywalekr is ass annoying.

Padme NOOOOOOO!

Almost every line that Hayden tried to bring with 'passion' made me shiver.

Why? Did he get an erection every time he said passion?

slash did.

Burned. Burned hotter than Hayden's passion.

TJ, you're off my Christmas list. And do not even think about coming to my birthday party.

Goddamnit.

Lucky Rachel was in that movie.
