just curious if im the only one who enjoyed that series...

What's Jedi Apprentice? If you talk about Padawans, canon or not, I'm a fan of Jukassa. If you talk about some kind of TV show in which Vader made an appearance, then I didn't watch any of them.

You know, the book series!

I enjoyed most of them.

i think they're my favorite series...

Jedi Apprentice? That's the one with Obi-Wan, right?

ya, it gives you more insight to obi-wan and qui-gon, thus making the phantom menace more complete.

I thought Cloak of Deception already did that.

The Jedi Apprentice series is mediocre, at best. I enjoyed the books when I was little, but then when I got a bit older, I started reading the actual novels and discovered that they were so much better.

Agreed.

But anything is better than the series with Trioculus and Prince Ken...

lol

I like Jedi Apprentice!

I also like "Jedi Apprentice". I think that it is much better than most of the adult SW series. Xanatos is my favourite EU villain.

Woot! Xanatos is so bad @$$!!! Ona Nobis is really powerful also

Are you series? You really think that the Jedi Apprentice books are better than most of the adult Star Wars novels? How many of the novels have you actually read, because I can assure you that the Jedi Apprentice series doesn't even come close to novels such as:

-Labyrinth of Evil
-Cloak of Deception
-The Thrawn Trilogy
-Shatterpoint
-The Cestus Deception
-Dark Rendezvous
-The entire NJO series
-I, Jedi
-The Rogue Squadron series

I could go on, but I think you get my point.

As for Xanatos being your favorite EU villain; to each his own, I guess.

cestus deception is the best.

I like the Apprentice series more than NJO or hand of Thrawn. On par with original Thrawn trilogy - that's for me. I like it better than Anderson'books about Exar Kun and Daala, better than "Black Fleet Crisis"...
"Labyrinth of Evil", though, is truly great. My all-time Star Wars fave book is, however, Stover's "Revenge of the Sith".

But how could you like the series that much when it's aimed for younger children? The writing is dumbed down and the plots are less complicated/good.

hysterical
Oh, you were serious

I think Labryinth of Evil was the best, even better than the Jedi Apprentice books

i think I, jedi is one of the top 5.

It's a matter of taste, my friend. I liked the writing, the language was simple, truly, but if I want rich English I might try Dickens, not a Star Wars book. The plots might have been simple, but they entertained myself and really, I liked that the books are small and fast paced without endless babble about politics.
As I said, a matter of taste.

i like the jedi apprentice series because watson keeps them moving and they always 'exciting'...even if they are for a younger audience.

Of course, it does come down to taste... but I just couldn't resist questioning your motives when you said you thought the Jedi Apprentice series was better than the adult novels.

I, most definitely, do not read the Star Wars novels to expand my vocabulary. Hell, when would I need to talk about hydrospanners and hyperdrives in real life? (That was a rhetorical question by the way).

I'm also not saying that the Jedi Apprentice books are bad. I liked them back in the day, but the actual novels are just better overall. That is my personal taste, but it needs to be said. Richer plots, better character development, better action, more/better dialogue and they're overall, more in-depth.

Not to mention there are plenty of SW novels without "endless babble about politics."

It is not dumbed down theres alot of hard words in it I would know I'm 13.

It IS dumbed down, when compared to the adult novels; which was my point.
