NJO gets my vote for worthiness of conversion to movies. X-Wing series second, Thrawn trilogy third.

Problem with NJO as movies would be that there are 20+ books (some of which haven't been published yet) and that is just way too much to put into three movies.

Too bad, though, I would have loved to see space battles between Rogue Squadron and some of those coralskippers...

Seeing how Coruscant would look after the Yhuuzhan Vong vong-form it into Yhuuzhan'tar would have been REALLY cool, too.:eek:

I know all that! :D:D

I've read the 'Wraith Squadron Trilogy' about nine times! :D:D

I can prolly name all of the squadron! :D

Eh, did you read the last part of Traitor?

Excerpt(Spoiler, do not read if you haven't read the books already):
"They are about to discover that the Vong forming of Yuuzhan'Tar is not going exactly to plan. In fact, everything is going to go _a little bit wrong_ for them from now on. No matter how hard they try, nothing will happen quite the way they want it to.
...
They'll either have to murder the dyurham(brain) and start over from scratch--which they have neither the time nor resources to do-or they are going to have to learn to compromise."

DragonClaw, yup, I did read Traitor. Oh, that was a kool idea, making that except in your post colored black so that it can't be seen without highlighting it. BTW, people, DC is right, it's a spoiler so don't read it until after you read the NJO novel titled Traitor.

I just saw a picture of Vergere in the New Character Guide to Star Wars book. She's a colorful, treacherous and inscrutable little alien....

I can't wait to read the next NJO novel. Destiny's Way is going to kick ass! :D

Meh - I'm quite behind on those books (last one I read was Edge of Victory: Rebirth, since I can't find Star By Star in paperback yet, and I refuse to spend oogles of money on a hardcover), so Annakin dying was a spoiler to me. :( Oh well.

Sandy, Star by Star won't be coming out in paperback for at least a few more months. By that time, you'll be five books and more than a year behind everyone else in keeping up with the NJO series.

So you'll spend $25 instead of $7, big deal. At least you'll be in the know and caught up with the story. Just wait until you read the Enemy Lines I:Rebel Dream and Enemy Lines II:Rebel Stand books! You won't believe what Wedge Antilles manages to do with the Lusankya Super Star Destroyer! ;7 :drevil:

And if you tell me that you're gonna wait for Destiny's way to be published in paperback as well, I'm gonna have to smack you just on principle. :sigh: :p :cool:

Sorry, dude, but it was already spoiled earlier on in the thread. I assumed that people actually read a thread from the beginning unless it's a CP5670/Levyathan showdown. Sorry again. :-/

Well, I'll be in the US in Nov-Dec, so I hope it's out by then.

So you'll spend $25 instead of $7, big deal. At least you'll be in the know and caught up with the story.

Being caught up is the least of my worries, since I'm so far behind as it is. Besides, I'm not the type who remembers a book after only one read; I'm going to have to re-read the NJO series from the start before I continue on, and I have no idea when I'll find the time to do that. :doubt:

Just wait until you read the Enemy Lines I:Rebel Dream and Enemy Lines II:Rebel Stand books! You won't believe what Wedge Antilles manages to do with the Lusankya Super Star Destroyer! ;7 :drevil:

And if you tell me that you're gonna wait for Destiny's way to be published in paperback as well, I'm gonna have to smack you just on principle. :sigh: :p :cool:

Actually, considering what I wrote above, I doubt I'll get to it before it comes out in paperback.
