Emerald_Lady and Jaina Byrd, I feel like such a YJK n00b!  I didn't start reading until 1999, and by then most of the YJK books were in their second printing.
I can't imagine waiting for a YJK book, though; I get crazy enough waiting for the latest installments of LotF!

Welcome to my world! My life now passes me by in three-month periods, each one marked by a Legacy of the Force novel.
God, I'm pathetic!

I was in the same boat, Joe (mind if I call you Joe? ). I read them in order  -- in fact, my mom's a librarian, and two sets of the entire series were donated, and I had free reign.  I think I wiped out the entire series in two weeks (a book a day!) and then reread them for the entire summer. That was... I think it was '99 or '00. Good times, I have to say.

Ok, y'all, what is your favorite YJK arc? Shadow Academy, Diversity Alliance, or Black Sun?
Mine is Diversity Alliance. Shadow Academy had some good stuff (and I really liked The Lost Ones book), but I also felt like I had read it before (Solo kids kidnapped, DS v LS, etc). Diversity Alliance was more original; and the conflict had some shades of grey; I liked Raynar too - his character had some good development in this.

Shadow Academy for me, although I loved all of them.

As much as I love Shadow Academy, I think Diversity Alliance is my favorite arc. Possibly because I love the way Zekk's character progresses, and also because the storyline wasn't just the same old, same old. The only things that really both me about the arc are the inconsistencies between the bounty hunters in YJK and the same bounty hunters in K.W. Jeter's Bounty Hunter Wars series. *shrugs*

The Diversity Alliance arc also introed Lusa, had Jacen and Tenel Ka kiss and made raynar not a dork. So also more good points for it.

Shadow Academy arc for me. I loved Jedi Under Siege and Lightsabers.

I love Shadow Academy- DarkZekk absoloutley fascinates me, for one thing. 
Diversity Alliance would have to be a close second though, I like how different and new the plotline is from everything else we've seen. And Lowie actually gets his own share of romance, for once!

Well, I've actually just made a Jedi Academy RP devoted to the YJK-era time period, if any of you are interested. In a way, you could create a bunch of your own AU stories.
It's so new, there's not even any members yet.
If any of you are interested at all, here's the link: The Jungle Moon.

So I was flipping around television the other night and caught five minutes of Pretty Woman (I know I know - silly movie): it was the dinner scene, and Julia Roberts started to eat the garnish that came with her dessert.
I was reminded of when Zekk ate the decorations at the ambassador's dinner in The Lost Ones, thinking it was a salad.  Poor Zekk, that is one of my favorite EU moments.

I liked Shadow Academy best, then Diversity Alliance. Lightsabers and Jedi Under Siege were definitely the best. I did like Shards of Alderaan too.

Hehe! Yes! That was one of my favorite scenes in the whole series, it was classic. And I'd have to say the Shadow Academy arc is my favorite.
Anyone here going to Dragon*Con this year? I'm doing a YJK Tenel Ka costume this year (along with another LOTF version) -- and there's going to be a Lusa (*pokes Lusa_Thul* XD), a Jacen (YJK version and a LOTF version) and possibly even a YJK Jaina and an Anakin! I would love to meet up with any other YJK fans who are going! ^_^

I too have to go with the Shadow Academy arc as my favorite, although Diversity Alliance is a close second.

oddly enough I'm kinda torn between Shadow Academy and Deversity Alliance, but I think the latter one wins by a hair.
I would love to go to Dragon Con, but I never seem to get my act together enough to plan ahead for it. I am planning on doing Tenel Ka's Lightsabers dress, and Tahiri in her Academy jumpsuit with Ikrit, at some point in the near future. Maybe for the next SW Celebration.
