Yeah. Pre-Crisis Superman was a virtual God, but that's part of the reason they did the Crisis on Infinite Earths series, to rectify that problem and make Superman more "realistic" and "constant."
Now, while those ancient Sith Lord's didn't literally "throw stars," as in pick them up and chuck them at their enemies, the fact that they DID do what they did, using such absurd and illogical (again, for STAR WARS) powers is just plain ridiculous.
I couldn't find anything to do with the Thrawn books at the Chapters nearest to me. Apparently they have had a "huge boost in sale of Star Wars books" since ROTS came out on DVD. They're SW books are getting low actually. I did however get Labyrinth of Evil and Shatterpoint. But I'd still like to read some post-ROTJ stuff.
Needless to say Shatterpoint so far is pretty damn good. I'm quite impressed. Very dark (and graphic) for a Star Wars book. Gotta say, I thought Mace was pretty lame after his ROTS performance. But this book does a good job at making him look baddass.
Originally posted by Julieyeah the Thrawn trilogy is great. I also liked tales from Jabba's palace a lot, but you're looking for post ROTJ stuff.
at the risk of sounding like a broken machine here I'll have to repeat that the thrawn trilogy is a great starting point....NJO's got ups and downs but mostly ups...but if you read alot of other star wars stuff first you'll appreciate all the little referrences to other series and stories

this may have been said. but do NOT read any of the bookjs made by Kevin J. Andserson. he makes the Jedi PADAWANS look like frigan gods. How the hell can a padawan force push 10 stardestroyers light years away? Even with the help of other jedi thats near close to impossible...
🤨 Are you serious? lol
Why the hell doesn't Lucas not let these people do stuff like that? I mean...what the hell...thats completely retarded... 😘
No, thats not how it works. The midichlorians do not create Jedi. Everyone has them, Jedi or not. We are just born with them. What makes a person a potential Jedi is a higher then average medichlorian count. At a specific number (count) one starts to hear the "will" of the force. So every being in the SW galaxy has midichlorians, but you have to be past a specific count to hear the force, and then you have to be able to hear it enough for the Jedi to consider you as a potential. Anakin was the only one to actually be conceived by the midichlorians themselves, which is why he is the chosen one.
The reason Lucas made up midichlorians is for the prophecy of the chosen one . It would have been stupid/ made no real sense to say "This boy has the highest force I've ever seen in a life form". Lucas needed something to set Anakin apart from everyone else, thats where midichlorians come in.
Rrrrrrrrrright........ "The chosen one". So that must be why Anakin/Darth Vader was never able to beat Obi-Wan in anything. First he gets his limbs chopped off, then Obi-Wan "ascends" to spiritform during their final duel. I'm sorry but as creative as Lucas is, he did have some big holes in his story.
Back on topic....... I really liked the X-Wing books and comics. They had a really good combination of comedy, action, and drama. I really wish they would have did more with Baron Fel from the comic series.
"Anakin was never able to beat Obi-wan in anything"
What? Anakin was more powerful then Obi-wan in every respect. Lucas has said so himself. The reason he lost on Mustafar was because of the arrogance of the darkside. This is the reoccurring theme for Sith lords, they all die to inferior people (except Dooku who just lost outright) because of arrogance, Anakin was just lucky in that he survived. And yea, Sure Obi-wan "ascends" to spirit form, AFTER being taught how to do so. Anakin also ascends to spirit form in ROTJ and no one ever taught him how to. He just did because he was the chosen one.
Big holes? not really...
