[Jedi Master Pikachu]

They (Star Wars writers) KILLED HIM OFF. In that lame book, Star Wars: Vector Prime. That still could be the "most momentous moment" in Star Wars "history." Was looking to read whether they'd bring him back (his death was somewhat ambiguous--he was on a planet while its moon crashed into it), but they haven't brought him back. Roughly, half of the Star Wars readership stopped reading new Star Wars novels after that book.

Personally, find all books set chronologically during and after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion along with those set during the Clone Wars are being pretty bad.

YES!

I have a suggestion. They can use this photo of C3PO:

Still trying to get more and more opinions. Note: it isn't because that the ones which have already received are necessarily considered to be wrong--indeed, as one freeper suggested, pray that God makes the meals acceptable to eat (still eat vegetarian, but the prayers are in case red blood cells or hemocytes fell into the food). Many of the comments have been in accordance that the verses pertain to pagan rituals and is about consuming a considerable amount of blood.

It would be...... tasty.... if meat were once again added into the diet, though. Plus, it would open up again an enormous variety of food (not the type to eat the same thing over and over and over).

Where's Lando?

[Clemenza]

You don't want to know what Jedi apprentices were supposed to do for their masters. There's a reason why Anakin walked with a limp and was bitter at Obi Wan...

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

He is missing.....

Though there also isn't Jabba (and he was in three of the movies--Lando was only in two), and Wicket, and other big secondary people.

THEY KILLED CHEWIE?

Good criminy. I've never read any of the Star Wars books--and was actually surprised to see the sheer number of character franchises at Borders the other day. Luke has his own series, Vader has his, Han and Leia, etc. The only thing I've actually followed other than the films are those collections of star wars comics.

I'm kind of an old fart when it comes to Star Wars. Yes, I have all of my 12" action (don't call them dolls!) figures on display (none are mint, but they're darn close). I don't really acknowledge the last three movies (in my opinion, they all blew) and still refer to the 1977 film as simply, Star Wars, and the 1980 film as, "that second one that's better." The horrible 1983 film is referred to as simply "Muppets in Space."

I love Chewbacca and refuse to believe he's gone. ;-)

I kept up reading the books for a few years, but then it became overwhelming.

I was devoting all of my reading time to SW books to keep up. I needed more variety.

Besides, after the third "Leia and Han's kids are kidnapped right out from under the nose of their fearsome protector Chewey" plot if figured I'd had enough.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Agree that the number of Star Wars books has increased considerably. Though actually find the ones published by Bantam Spectra (which includes almost all of the Solo children being kidnapped books) to be of higher quality than the loads of trash currently being churned out by LucasBooks (DelRey), with the exception of those by Timothy Zahn.

My oldest son turns 30 this year.

Yes, his name is Luke. Ha! Top that for dorkiness! LOL
