I wouldn't say you can really compare them. The story's yes...but movies have shots...audio, music, directing...etc. Books have a bunch of letters...sentences...and all of the other boring stuff.

I take it you don't read much? 😂
While movies do in fact add all of what you mention they don't supersede a persons imagined perceptions that are derived from reading a book.
and............... QUEEQ 😱

lol Yeah, I don't read a whole lot. I really have to like a book to continue and finish it. So far it is mostly star wars and military books.
I have a personal reason why I love star wars books also, a story for another thread, lol.

Right.

Eh...
Well, when I was in like 3rd grade...I wasn't exactly the best reader ever. I struggled, was unmotivated becuase I didn't have any good material I wanted to read. I was behind and had to be in a special retard reading class to be totally blunt.
Of course at that time I was a SW fan, as I have been most of my life. My mom bought me some SW books, one was a Darth Maul diary type book and I forget the other. I read them both..and loved them. Then my mom bought me some of the Jedi Apprentice books. I also really enjoyed them and read them. She kept on getting me more of the Jedi Apprentice books, and my reading level improved two years or levels worth in about one-two months. So within a year or less I surpassed the "normal" reading grade level for my class/age, all becuase of Jude Watson's Star Wars books.
To this day I still buy the younger aged Star Wars books, (Jedi Quest...then The Last of the Jedi, becuase I am so grateful that they helped me as a child and got me to where I am today.) And I love the stories, even thought they are for kids. Sometimes it is weird seeing someone my age in the Children section...but I saw Clone Wars so whatever.
And of course I read occasionally GOOD EU books like the Darth Bane novels...etc. I also enjoy American military biographies.
Thank you George Lucas for the Star Wars universe and thank you Jude Watson for writing books that ultimately helped me get out of an educational problem and beyond my classmates! Thank you so much!

I guess at least Sweersa's turn to the book side was succesful.
Hehehe. It was very much so. As much as I make fun of the EU, it actually had a huge impact on my life. lol
