Does that make Winter the Supernanny by whipping Leia's brat's into shape then?

Yes Winter is just like the Supernanny, you know except for the whole not ugly,fat, loud and useless part.

Of course Winter is Supernanny. DIdn't they all but USE that phrase at some point? tongue

Small children do have a large effect on pacing in science fiction, but that's what they get for having characters reach an age where they want kids. The kids are here, and now the writers have to deal with the consequences.

Or dump them somewhere. That seems to be a popular option among EU authors. tongue

I don't think Mara will let him out of her sight if she doesn't have to. Plus, Winter's in geriatrics these days. tongue


I'm not so sure about that.


I mean...she is still alive and so is Telchu...but Ackbar is dead, so she doesn't have a job right now.



anyways...I'll either pick up the book in the afternoon if me and my family go out...or in the evening before I leave for work.

That makes sense from a character standpoint, but from a writer's view, it's very difficult to write a five-year old into an action story. tongue Unless, as someone suggested, Ben has magically aged.


I believe Ben is about 7 or 8 years old in this book...plenty old enough to wield a lightsaber and join in on the action.

taking Tenel Ka's arm would be YJK tongue

little 2-2.5 year old Jacen takes up Luke's lightsaber and battles monsters (with ghost Luke's help, admittedly, but still...)

That was so dodgy, lil Jace with Uncle Luke's nasty lightsaber.

I thought Leia was going to let him have it!

Don't forget about the twins flying the Falcon off of Selonia (or one of the other fiver hundred worlds in that sector)in the Correlian Trilogy. I think they were... what nine or ten by that point?

So, has everyone here done their homework and picked up The Joiner King yet ? I bought it earlier today and just read about 55 pages or so. Its definitely interesting so far and this looks to be a good one, at least early on (its also 443 pages, which is definitely a plus).

Anyhoo, I signed on real quick to post our usual spoiler warning, this time regarding The Joiner King. As always, the Command Staff asks that you all please refrain from openly discussing the book here at Base in any way until no earlier than 8/9. Anytime after that is cool, but until then, please take any discussion to Literature and all of the myriad threads that Im sure will pop up over the next two weeks.

Thanks ! happy
