I used to do that. No matter how bad the books were, I'd still read every single one, in hopes that it was better than the last.

The NJO series finally killed off that hope in my mind, though.

Warhammer 40K's books are still awesome. 😎

Actually, I'm gonna put my money on Yoda for that one. The man is a Star Wars god, from what I've seen.

they were interesting to get through, but the legacy series and fate series are actually rather good. i would recommend reading the clone commando series books by karen traviss.

Huh.

Even among most big EU buffs, I could have sworn people HATED Karen Traviss.

karen traviss is a 50/50 for me because on the one hand i really appreciate what she did to flesh out the clones, and to explain their lifestyles. i think that the force and jedi and sith are the least interesting aspect of star wars so any story that isnt focused on them is good to me.

but on the other hand she fellates clones to ridiculous levels, stating things like only 2 million clones were needed to fight the CIS who had quintillions of droids... for example.

Doesn't her moistness for the clones stem from a Mandalorian fetish?

no most people were hurt by the fact that she announced she wasn't writing anymore. starwars.com

She's apparently a gigantic b!tch as well.

Calling negative readers the "Talifan." Lol.

lol, i guess us die-hards and fanatics don't look at the personality of the writer as much as we do the actual content

i dont know about hurt.

everyone i know who likes star wars was hooting and hollering...

there were fireworks in the EU section 😐

Yeah, most people were pleased when Traviss announced she wasn't writing anymore.

I never cared for her stuff, but I don't care about the clones or any of that. I'm more interested in Jedi.

From TVtropes:

"In response to the clone numbers controversy Traviss has repeatedly insulted Star Wars fans as sexist losers without a life, refusing to retcon her ridiculous numbers (3 million clones making up the army of the 1.3 million planet spaning Republic) and even making those numbers an even bigger part of her stories (when they were originally mere trivia). "

Lawl.
