As many here now know the novelization of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is written by James Rollins. Not James Luceno as some of the less informed once thought. I'd be the last person to name names on that particular count ( Hoosiertrooper ).
Hey I just report what I'm told.
Still no Darth Maul force bubble on the horizon either... 
I'm more excited about The Complete Making of Indiana Jones. I liked the Star Wars making of by Rinzler, so I hope this one will be as good... and as concise. The Star Wars making-of covered everything, and I could only get my hands on the "short" edition.

FYI, due to ... something, Borders doesn't have RC:TC yet. Nor does, oddly enough, BN. I had to go to Books-a-million to get mine.
I'm still trying to decide if I'll return it and buy one from work to save the money

I finished Death Star. It was good, but it glossed over some stuff about construction delays too much. It enjoy the cut scenes about what was happening elsewhere on the DS during the prison break of Leia and the Battle of Yavin. I dig Motti even more now!!!

Did I missread something, or did the novel not mention the destruction of Despayre?

I thought I was a SW fan until I read that and had no idea what it meant.

Exciting news for fans of the new version of Battlestar Galactica-
Today at the comic book store the BG one-shot issue about the 'Beast' was released. Nice lead up to the BG-Razor TV-movie. Yes Ravenclaw you may borrow it

********************SPOILERS***************************************************
Yeah you missed it. It was in there.
I finished the book too.
It was just okay. Not a great read, not a bad read. Really, it felt like a filler novel between "event" novels, or a fluff novel like the latest Zahn book (whatever it was called).
My biggest beef with it was all the stuff that took me "out" of the story. The throwaway mention someone named "Teh Roxxors", which is computergamers speak for saying someone "rocks": "54r4h is teh r0xx0rz" (Sarah is "the roxxors", she rocks!)
And someone else was described as a Luddite. Was there a Ned Ludd in the GFFA?
There were couple of others, but I forgot to take notes (again).
I did like the change in feelings of many of the people once they saw the destruction of Despayre and realized what the DS, and the Empire, was capable of - and then again more fully when Alderan was destroyed - and teh Alderanian troopers sitting in the bar afterwards - nice scene.
I also liked that all the seemingly disparate storylines came together in the end.

BAD STACKY!!! NO NO NO!!!
Yes, you can get all drinks in pints. And just for Mr. Hobbit's comment, he's getting majorly embarrassed.

Let me guess. JediMasterJaina will present herself to her beloved pet (Stacky) by bursting forth from a human concealing cake while at Old Chicago? Do I win what is behind door number one, two, or three?
