Shatterpoint

Blatantly...

I didn't think it was possible to read a book and yet still so badly miss the main concept behind it. Oh well...

I dont mean to sound ignorent but WHAT THE FREAKEN HELL IS SHATTERPOINT SUPPOST TO BE ANYWAY!

Compliments of Stover, whose typical over-analytical assessment and approach to writing often substitutes bullshit philosophy for a decent read; seriously, if you've read his SW novels, he attempts to find philosophy in everything to make it much more dramatic than it actually is.

I kind of like that about Stover.

It's pretty much Mace having the ability to realise important moments before they happen, and attempt at act on them. First problem is that it's not unique for a Jedi to have premonitions. Second, it never seems to work as every pivotal moment passes Mace by, thirdly, he is never able to act on them, with the exception of one, where he failed. Lastly, any cretin could realise that the end of democracy in the galaxy would bbe a slightly critical moment.

I don't know, why people have so much against Mace, he was awesome, not to mention, he was a badass.

Because his character was created in the PT 😐

The PT is great, at least for me.

PT > OT to me, but a lo of people think the PT raped there childhood or some crap like that.

Yeah, personally i think ROTS is the best film... But, who knows, i didn't grow up seeing the OT movies so i can't talk, lol.

I think all of them are great.

Well if Mace had Shatter Point he would know if he faced Sidious he would die right?

No, Shatterpoint is not like precognition, in any way really. Shatterpoint basically heightens your perception of the things around you/and or an object to reveal it's weaknesses, like he said in the first chapter, he could shatter a diamond with a tap of his finger by touching it on it's shatterpoint. That's also why he was able to literally punch droids into scrap metal in the CW cartoons.

And that warrents a novel? Please.

I never said it did, but it was still a good novel 😄

People's opinions of the book are a moot point in all fairness; slapping a fancy term on basic intuition skills is simply a ridiculous facade, and there's no yes or no to that.
