All time SW literary letdowns

ok people....we've all got our opinions on the books that were bad.
Time to make a list...
my list would have Black Fleet Crisis and Rogue Planet
what books were SW but let you down?

Cloak of Deception, Rogue Planet, Planet of Twilight, the Correllian series,Vector Prime, Dark Tide 1 and 2, and The Approaching Storm. These are my top ten list of SW books that sucked for me. 😄

Conquest??????(eek)
Splinter of the Mind's Eye

I removed Conquest from my above list and replaced it with The Approaching Storm. 😮

hey this is your opinion...if you don't like Conquest...stick with it....

The Approaching Storm was much better than Rogue Planet...but it wasn't that interesting

I decided I liked it more than The Approaching Storm which I felt had the same basic flaw that plagued Rogue Planet. Two full-length novels attempting to demonstrate Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side when his true turning point did not happen until the middle of the last film. They just didn't work for me. 😄

I see....esp Rogue Planet...Anakin's about 14 in that or something crazy like that.....the Jedi Quest series is so much better suited for studying young Anakin

Agreed. I have only read the first two in that series.

Splinter of the mids eye & approaching storm.

not Rogue planet?
What made Approaching storm worse than Rogue Planet?

No not yet. I may get it sometime in the future

All of them

all of what.....list them please?

rogue planet, crystal star, darksabre (have to check, 'cause I have that one in dutch, not english)

I don't read EU books all that much.

One literary let down is the fact that no one has said anything about me finishing my story.

finish the story rex

dunno, haven't gone that far in time to see, I guess

Actually, I finished it last night. Easier than posting at Lance's board.

Rogue Planet sucked big time and to me was a waste of paper. The Aprroaching Storm was a close second.

What were those two about?

Hey Gordon, wanna read my story?

Both were about a younger pre-Clones Anakin being trained by Obi Wan. And yes Rex I would love to read your story!
