Samnmax221 Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I actuely enjoyed rebel dawn (Yes I managed to read through 3 more books since my last post) I liked the trickery and subterfuge that Allston added.
Leper Messiah Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 actually the book is rebel dream was reading it today and i hit upon the first reference i didnt understand since i picked up the NJO at Star By Star. Luke says he named the Twin Suns squadron in memory of Tatooine, so has Tatooine been destroyed?

Leper Messiah Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 why named in memory then, why not named for? seems an odd phrasing
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 in memory of his childhood there mostly. it was about his memory, not its memory.
Leper Messiah Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 fair enough. bloody ambiguous jedi masters, I knew there was a reason i preferred Kyp

We roam around the galaxy looking for fights ! mtfbwya
Jan Gaarni Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 We maaaayy look like paaaaantiiiiiees .....
Leper Messiah Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 yes but Kyp has a redeeming quality - he can annoy Jaina at will
Astrotoy7 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 Originally posted by Leper Messiah yes but Kyp has a redeeming quality - he can annoy Jaina at will Jaina trembles every time Kyp walks in, but she prefers the non-threatening Jag.... I can definitely see Jaina and Kyp hooking up eventually. It makes sense, especially with Kyps connection to Han. Any kids they have will surely be quite kickass as potential jedi, and be able to give Ben Skywalker an a$$ kickin if he deserves it mtfbwya

Originally posted by Leper Messiah oh and Ben Skywalker = odds on favorite to kill Luke I dunno about that. from the looks of things, no one is gonna kill Luke.
Leper Messiah Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Originally posted by Shok_Tinoktin Someone better I dunno about that. from the looks of things, no one is gonna kill Luke. No child of Jaina Solo is likely to be a character i tolerate for long unless it comes out lightsaber weilding, sith to the bone and takes her and a room full of people out Luke has to die at some point, old age would be a shockingly terrible way for the hero of the whole story to die. And besides Mara Jade is hardly the sort of character that grows old peacefully so he'd just be a loner for the rest of his days which would be pretty rubbish. Get him killed off by Ben (who will undoubtedly knock some young lass up before he turns bad thus setting the whole ugly thing in motion again ) in fact Luke could do the Obi-Wan surrender to Vader and disappear and continue to turn up as a ghost every now and again
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 yes i agree that someone should kill luke, i just dont agree that someone will kill luke. GL seems to be against it, and that makes it hard for it to happen.
Leper Messiah Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 well it cant really be a passing EU villain of the week (or even an EU villain of the 19-book series for that matter) It needs to be a prominent member of the permanent EU cast. Of those, not many possiblities exist to my mind. I would have thought Anakin Solo a possibility before he died, but Ben Skywalker seems to be the most plausible person to be powerful and skillful enough. I guess Kyp could at a push or Jaina/Jacen but they dont seem to have the necessary presence in the story. Mara could but it would make no sense for her character to be sent back in that direction so the newborn Skywalker seems the best candidate, if as you say anyone does kill Luke. i also give 2/1 odds that Ben Skywalker will not make it through life without having a hand severed in a lightsaber duel.
Astrotoy7 Posted January 24, 2005 Author Posted January 24, 2005 yes. it would be roXXorrzz for Ben to turn out as scum But I dont see it happenin.... Luke will prolly do a sacrifice himself thing, like Ben Kenobi.... mtfbwya
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Doesn't everyone turn out as scum? As far as killing Luke though, thats something else.
Astrotoy7 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 Originally posted by Shok_Tinoktin Doesn't everyone turn out as scum? As far as killing Luke though, thats something else. hey...you can hardly call our boy jacen scum... kyp, yes mtfbwya
Shok_Tinoktin Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 hey...you can hardly call our boy jacen scum... Yeah, for the most part. But when he first gets the force back from Vergere, you have to admitt he loses it a bit for a little while.
Samnmax221 Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I thought that whole "I won't use the Force" stage was pretty obnoxuise
Astrotoy7 Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 Originally posted by Samnmax221 I thought that whole "I won't use the Force" stage was pretty obnoxuise well, one related point is that Jacen is very much like his mother in many respects. In essence she has rejected/neglected the force for most part... mtfbwya
Samnmax221 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Well it was still well after planet of twilight it looked like she might go on to use the force more but didn't
