i need a new eu book!

well i need to start a new EU book series i've just finished the NJO series and don't know which one i should start.

How can you people actually read the NJO series? NJO is filled with piles of endless shit that has somehow turned Luke into some damn Force God.

I mean Luke used to be cool and perhaps my favorate character, but now I hate him.

We tend to read them all the way through (not me, I could only stand every other one at most) only because we started it, may as well finish it.

And I still say that if any of those Jedi pussies would use Force-Lightning, then they could have defeated the Vong much easier.

Bunch of whinos is all they are.

That's what confuses me. Luke suppoedly can do Force Lightning, yet he doesn't teach it to his students. WTF?

And also, the Vong are supposed to be force 'resistant' from a source.(Nai Fohl).

I only finished the NJO series because I had been into it when it first came out. In hindsight the books were only good at killing off a bunch of characters. Other than that it was trash. I skipped the last 3 books just to read the final book and see the outcome.

That's just sad.... NJO is trash

Yeah, I know, so true. But don't forget that the lightning isn't made of the Force, it's like some sorts crazy-ass "produce of the Force. It's still in it's own..."freaky" way, matter, which the Yuuzhan aren't immune too. They just repel the Force mentally, in a way... I guess, but not so as physically as lightning is.

ok so you guys dont like NJO woopty do. its just inhaceing starwars knowldge. but can anyone tell me what series i shoudl get into now?

Try the Thrawn Trilogy, or the trilogy where you meet Kyp Durron, forget what it's called. But most people recommend Thrawn.

Yeah, NJO is trash.

The Vong are "not part of the force", so force powers rarely work on them. However, if you fry them with force lightning, drop a building on their silly head, or throw stuff at them with the force, they will still take damage. How does this work?

There are huge incongruities in force powers, you see individuals that are written inconsistently, and the series is just awkward writing in my opinion. I, personally, don't like it at all.

Most anything in EU that involves far users is trash. Authors want to make their characters ultra powerful, which makes the stories rather pointless. I'm part of the minority, I know, but I much prefer the stories that involve minimal, or ideally, no force invovlement.

I feel the exact same way. Whenever the story turns back to the Force, I tend to skip ahead of it, not giving a flying f*ck about how Luke feels "his lightsaber is an extention of his arm."

I actually liked the NJO series.

You should try the Thrawn trilogy. Then the Jedi Academy books followed by I, Jedi because it's the Jedi Academy books from Corran Horns point of view but then changes in the last two thirds. I haven't read Dark Empire myself, but I here it's good.

For the Ancient hunger, I can't tell you a lot. I have only read one of those and it was a comic. It was called "The Great Sith War" or something like that and was a six comic series about Exar Kun and Ulic I think(I've only read the first one, the comic stores here suck.)

Definatly read the Thrawn trilogy if you haven't.

what all happens in the thrawn trilogy?

i wont spoil it, but Trawn takes a wrecked Empire and makes a serious comeback.

Actually, Corran Horn's one of the few force users that's actually realistc (by realistic I mean, similar to the movies)--I know him from the X-Wing series rather than I, Jedi...so that opinion might change if he's twisted like what happens to most characters.

The Thrawn Trilogy was bogus. I hated it.

Spoiler:
Lando just HAPPENS to be present when Thrawn attacks with the mole miners, Mara Jade just HAPPENS to be at the palace when the imperials attack so she can ambush them using passages only she knows, C'baoth just HAPPENS to turn on Thrawn during Bilbringi, and Thrawn just HAPPENS to be ignorant enough to not realize the Noghri have turned on him. Honestly. This guy hasn't missed a thing up until now.
For those of you who haven't read it, there's just too many "coincidences" to make it believable. I love Thrawn, Pelleaon, and the Interdictor Cruisers...everything else in that series is crap.

Apparently, in all the attempts the Empire made to restore themselves as rulers of the galaxy after ROTJ, Thrawn came the closest, even Reborn Palpatine didn't do as good as job as him, maybe.

But read the series in which Kyp Durron is introduced, the best parts aren't about the Force stuff, but the badass technology in the book.
