Legacy of the Force (novel discussion)
This series kicked off with Betrayal....Bloodlines and Tempest will be out later this year.. have you read Betrayal?
What do you think of the series so far. and where will it be going from here?
Do you like what they've done with the characters: ie Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, Wedge Antilles, Syal, etc
Pellaeon owns. Just his minor parts were one of the major reasons that I purchased the book in the first place . . .
As for Betrayal, over all.
I liked that they added the twist about Vergere. How she managed to retain her purity and heart, despite being (at one time) one of the Emperor's "apprentices".
I especially loved how Lumiya said how she attempted to kill Sidious. Took balls.
And, last but not least, I love the subtle manipulation that Lumiya makes - even though I think she sucks in combat.
Lumiya isn't nearly as strong as Palp or Vader...she's stagnated...sure, she's pretty tough, but nowhere near the level of Palpatine. The only guy she's really KILLED is Flint and he was her apprentice...
okay, I'll give her one helluva scheming mind, given that she was one of the triumvirate that poisoned Palpatine's final clone..and she and Carnor Jax wiped out the Prophets of the Dark Side (albeit, sneak attack when they were SEVERELY weakened)

I wonder where she developed the penchant for a scheming mind . . .
this was totally lame because with the arrival of the chosen one, the sith were supposed to have been wiped from the galaxy. The palpatine clones should never be counted as actual sith. as for the non-jedi cast, han has to be at least 80 by now, and jacen has to be about 50. that does not seem right considering he stormed centerpoint station alone (Ben Skywalker didnt have much combat.

I agree. Palpy + The Sith should have died at Endor and stayed dead.
I mean, hell. Even though Palpatine's dead, doesn't mean that his chapter's gotta be closed. Consider all the crap that, even thirty years or so after his death, resulted from the Empire.
That was ultimately his doing, the evil bastard.
Same for the Vong. I say the Vong was Palpy's fault.
