K_Kinnison Posted April 8, 2002 Posted April 8, 2002 ...can i get you to sign my book? Well, my favorite author is coming into town this week. Timothy Zahn himself. I now have ALL of the novels he has written. and only 4 are not signed He will be visiting the UW-Madison bookstore, signing and doing a readnig from his new book Angelmass then appearing at a convention to be a part of a panel discussion. I CAN'T WAIT I have met him before and he is a REALLY kewl guy. I jsut hope i could get to know him a luittle more better. Even tho i wont happen, i think it would be really neat to go out and have a meal with him, and talk.
Zargon Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 oooh, sounds nice, I hope you two have a wonderful date! j/k

Rogue Nine Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Tim Zahn is cool, but I likes Mike Stackpole and Aaron Allston better.
K_Kinnison Posted April 9, 2002 Author Posted April 9, 2002 yeah, but they didn't create Thrawn, Mara Jade, or Talon Karrde
Keyan Farlander Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 I gotta say, Zahn was the best. He is not without his faults (he needs to learn some adjectives other than "exotic" and "esoteric," for example). But I don't think there's anyone who has written the main characters from the original trilogy better.
Rogue9 Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Stackpole Created Corran and Mirax btw Mara would only be my third favorite character.
Redwing Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 K_K I hate you j/k....I am so jealous Zahn may not be my all-time favorite author, but he is definitely my favorite Star wars author. His Thrawn trilogy was and still is the best of the EU. Footnote to R9: I, Jedi may own but not always Stackpole...he was too lazy with details...:/
K_Kinnison Posted April 9, 2002 Author Posted April 9, 2002 dont get me started about "I, jedi" i hated that book it was created for Corran lovers, and natuarlly corren lovers loved I, Jedi
Tierce Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 i am slightly jealous as well, cuz the Thrawn trilogy rules major ass..and the best character created by Zahn was Talon Karrde. He is just a cool character
Andromeda Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Corran is my favorite character he's just fiery and everything...plus green eyed guys rule!!! I, Jedi was great!
Rogue9 Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 Originally posted by Andromeda C...plus green eyed guys rule!!! Thus Proving that Andromeda has excellent taste
K_Kinnison Posted April 10, 2002 Author Posted April 10, 2002 I, Jedi ignored a lot of known facts abotu the SW universe, jsut to make a character seem more powerful. Correlians are only good for: 1. Braggin 2. Target practice 3. Wall fixtures
Rogue15 Posted April 10, 2002 Posted April 10, 2002 dont' forget the ships they design...which would make them good for slave labor.
Rogue9 Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 they didn't ignore known facts, they did however expand upon what force powers were availible and such.
Zoom Rabbit Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 From what I recall of the RS level at Corellia, they had stupid-looking buildings and no night life (not counting imperial bombs.) Would that the Death Star had wasted Corellia instead of Alderaan...
Rogue9 Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 As We've already established Alderran has no night life...you can't even sell glit there, Correllia on the other hand has Treasure Ship Row
Wes Janson SMR Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 Shadows of the Empire will always be my favorite. It was my very first Star Wars book, and it got me hooked onto the EU series.
