I like confusing... that book tested my mental skillz to understand what the hell was happening. Very cool book, I recommend the whole series tho

I'd place Thrawn trillogy second

Ah yes.  NJO.

Black hole shields.
Relativistic battles.
Biotechnology.

Are any of these really Star Wars?

In my opinion, NO!

[Corsair]

X-wing series
Lotsa cool battles, good characters, and just plain cool! Definitely make a good series...plus we get to see the fall of Coruscant to the NR. And a bit of the Jedi too (Imperial Jedi Museum!)

I've only had a chance to read I Jedi so I can't really vote but it was better movie material than Ep.1

I, Jedi was good, although the first-person perspective threw me off for the first chapter or so. Not as good as the Thrawn trilogy IMHO, but good.

What's also interesting is that "The Undiscovered Country" was also slated to be the last movie for Trek.  What keeps it going is the popularity of the series.  I seriously doubt GL will stop with EP3.  Look at the fanfic movies people have made so far!  Specifically the hilarious "Troops".  When the fans want more, Hollywood must comply or face hoardes of angry fans.

ST 6 was a good movei. IMO it was the last good Trek movie. Too bad they didn't stop with that one.

We are the borg, lower your sheilds and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctives to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is Futile.

Ahh...that one. Irritating Borg. Where do they come from anyway? Do they actually have a planet or are they just nomadic barbarians with devices all over their bodies?

Actually, if you like Jedis and lightsabers in Episodes 1 and 2, you would love the New Jedi Order. It pits Luke Skywalker and the Jedis against an enemy whom they cannot sense in the Force. The Yuuzhan Vong. So far, only Anakin Solo seems to be the one closest to discovering how to detect Yuuzhan Vong in the Force. Too bad he was killed.

The book also highlights the growing relationship between Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo. Interesting stuff there. The exciting fire fights in space. Black hole anomolies that suck up laser bolts. Plasma bolts and coralskippers. And even more biotechnology that sometimes overwhelms the New Republic. Not to mention the Yuuzhan Vong's weird culture and hatred for technology which they refer to as abominations.

All in all, I think the New Jedi Order should be the novel that is turned into a movie or even a few episodes. Its fresh and entertaining.

You can ask the exact same questions about the Shivans. It's the mystery of things that makes it a good plot element. Thus, I'm not too hot on campaigns that set out to Explain Everything™. :wink:

Back ON TOPIC.

I'd love to see the 'Wraith Squadron Trilogy' made into either a series or three movies. Those are X-Wing books 5, 6 and 7 for those who care...

I have the entire X-Wing series. The books you refer to are the following:

1.) X-Wing: Wraith Squadron
2.)X-Wing: Iron Fist
3.)X-Wing: Solo Command

All of htem are written by Aaron Allston. They are great novels too. Especially the covert operations the squadron always carry out.

IIRC, GL said that after he finishes ep. III there will be no more SW movies.

WHAT?!?!?!

[Mr. Vega]

The best SW book I read was Wedge's Gamble(X-Wing, book 2)

That one was a bit boring as they tried to liberate Coruscant. I think the most interesting of the X-Wing series is The Bacta War. Lots of fighting. Reminds me of the old days of the Rebellion.

Maybe they come from here...

[neo_hermes]

Very interesting.

New Jedi Order or the Thrawn trilogy it doesn't matter thier both good.

Man read the latest book didn't believe it could even happen was very interesting what also happened to the jedi temple. ( New Jedi Order: Traitor)  I bet Ganner Rhysode didn't see it coming.

[lobsterclaw]

Definitely X-wing series! I think the original movies didn't have enough space battles.  Thrawn trilogy would be good too.

[Kitsune]

Rogue Squadron: The Bacta Wars
The three books there would give more than enough information to cover two movies (Or compressed a little for one long one).

Come on, we'd actually get to see them fighting the SSD Lusayanka Intelligently instead of failed bombing runs turning into kamikazi strikes on the bridges (Endor).

Plus it's got enough sneaking, dialog and foot-battles and whatnot going on to keep the anti-space guys happy too.

(I can't watch a sci-fi movie without my roomie b!tching about how shields and other stuff is just 'stupid').
