NJO is just D&D in the SW Universe. It was a sad day for them to have killed Chewie with Dungeons & Dragons. Keep sci-fi with sci-fi & fantasy with fantasy. Don't mix them you. You ruin the product that you are trying to sell. Face it if NJO wasn't baseded in SW then nobody would have read the only piece of crap that R.A. wrote. He is the best fantasy writer out there even above Jordan. He should have stayed with his strengths. Same thing with Elaine Cunningham and Troy Dening.
