The Unifying Force
Ok so the NJO finally comes to a close.....I shall have my two cents worth of what to say about the book....
[SPOILER - highlight to read]:
I must start by saying that though I don't consider this to be the best of the NJO...it was certainly a wonderful book. It had action and suspence...a bit of humor and a few twists that kept you guessing....there were times when the reader would have to fear for the lives of some of the characters....remember in NJO no one's life is sacred..
The length of the book was also quite nice...over 500 pages of pure SW.....I thought it started a bit on the slow side of things, but the end was really good....
The romance was a bit lacking....on all fronts....Danni and JAcen.....Jaina and Jag.....etc.
I will probably read the book again....
I'm anxious for post NJO series.

Interestingly enough, there were a LOT of plot threads left open after this one. Hopefully some of them are still left open by the time I'm a respectable enough writer to tackle them. 
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: One great image that I keep getting stems from the very end of the book, where Luke takes Anakin's lightsaber and sticks it into the tree at Chewie's grave. I would love to see a young Yuuzhan Vong warrior journey to Kashyyk, take up the lightsaber and become the first Vong jedi. That would be a great story.

The Unifying Force refers to the version of the force that Sekot follows, as opposed to the Living Force that was followed by Luke Skywalker.

vengence just as a conflict that would be put into that story of yours, vong arent of the force. so he couldnt become a jedi, unless he finds a way to become part of the force filled galaxy(like how force part species can be incorporated into the vong and lose their existence in the force.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: the book said somethign to the effect that the VOng were "stripped" of the force...implying that they once did have access to it and therefore might once again

Probably not really stripped. More as a byroduct of too much genetic meddling and mixing.

No, Julie is right, that's exactly what was said in the Unifying Force. The Vong [SPOILER - highlight to read]: were stripped of the force for being too violent of a society. However, Omnimi, the real supreme overlord, had attached yammosk cells to his brain, returning the power of the force to himself. That was how he controlled Shimra. Therefore, it is possible to have the Vong have the Force.
