Guest SlashAndBurn Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 I've lost track of the Star Wars novels as of late. The last one I read involved Han teaming up with a new sidekick, a female Vong "defecting" and the Vong allying with the Hutts...I forgot the name of that book though...can anyone help and does anyone know where to find a chronological list of the New Jedi Order serries?
Kvan Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 You know, I'd really like to know whats been going on too. I haven't had time to read any of the newer books, so if anyone would care to tell us whats been going on, it would be most helpful
Rogue Nine Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 Yes, I think I stopped reading them after the book you read, Slash. They just didn't hold my interest. I found a better book to read in the meanwhile. Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. Really, really good. Get it and read it.

Rogue15 Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 I'm currently reading Crystal Star. up to the point where c-3po gets killed.
darthfergie Posted December 5, 2001 Posted December 5, 2001 That is a pretty good book...isn't it the one where they capture ANikan, Jaina, and Jacen and take them to that wierd Jedi Academy???
Tie Guy Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Yes Ferg. BTW, the book you are talking about, slash, is Rebirth i believe, and you kinda mixed up some of the chracters... BTW, i'm reading the Bounty Hunter's Trilogy right now.
Darth_Rommel Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Originally posted by Rogue15 I'm currently reading Crystal Star. up to the point where c-3po gets killed. 3PO dies? How are they gonna replace all these characters?
darthfergie Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Originally posted by Darth_Rommel 3PO dies? How are they gonna replace all these characters? #1- That isn't NJO (you can tell by looking at the list I posted) #2- Mr. Threep (<---what anakin calls him in that book) doesn't get entirely destroyed...(oops spoiler) @Tie Guy, I think I read all those about two years or more ago...pretty good but they occasionally got a bit confusing...
Rogue15 Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 ya, i didn't think he got totally destroyed. i actually laughed on that part. lord hethrir is pretty cool...
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 6, 2001 Posted December 6, 2001 Does anybody know the books of where the Emperor was reborn and he had this GREAT ship called the Esciple or something like that. I cant find any book on this but I want to look into the Ecisiple Ship. it is stronger than a Super Star Destroyer. help me out if you know the books that has this.

Thats a comic book, but i don't know which one...
darthfergie Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Dark Empire (Eclipse), Dark Empire II (Eclipse), Empire's End (Eclipse II) THose are the comic series that have the Eclpise and Emp. Reborn in them...
Jedi_Knight Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I havn't read any of the star wars books what is a really good series or book
darthfergie Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 THE BEST SW SERIES *drumroll* By HUGE fan support... The Thrawn Trilogy... Consisting of Hier to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command. Written by Timothy Zahn.
Guest Supreme Warlord Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the greatest miltary genius. He should be returned alive. A Legend like him should not die like this. I think they should try to clone him again like they found on the planet of where his personal base was at. I also want the chiss to be mention more often. A guy in the book said that there was other like Thrawn, great as him. I wish they would mention more of this. Also I think the New Republic that is losing the war against the Vong should go to the Unknown Region and try to find the Chiss and get them into the war. With their minds, they can win any war. I think highly of the chiss because of Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Guest SlashAndBurn Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 The Thrawn trilogy was what got me into Star Wars again after a few years of not realy watching the movies. Definately one of the best Sci-Fi book serries I;ve ever read. I agree with Supreme Warlord, they shouldnt have ended his character so unceremoniously as they did in Visions of the Future.
Eets Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I'd like to see Thrawn return as a clone and totally wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong.
Rogue15 Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 X-Wing Series and Bounty Hunter Trilogy. X-Wing Series is probably my favorite though.
Rogue Nine Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Eets, I would so pay to see that. I also wanna see Borsk Fey'lya get flash-fried by the Emperor Reborn, but you can't have everything...
Guest SlashAndBurn Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 When they invented the character of Borsk they must've had a week long brainstorming session to determine what would tick off every reader the best and then have him pull stunts like that every chance he got. ACtualy I think the only Bothan character I ever liked in the books was Seylar(sp?) from the X-Wing books...the one that was involved with Gavin.
Rogue Nine Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Asyr Sei'lar. Disappeared after the Thrawn situation I believe. I think Admiral Kre'fey (sp?) from the NJO books is a pretty good guy.
Guest SlashAndBurn Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Thats right, I forgot about Admiral Kre'fey. You're right he's not the typical Bothan politician type (thank god). WHOHOO!!! I'm a pit droid:D
