Queengodess posted: Of course, the last pages with Mace Windu contemplating the fact that as long as Anakin lives there is hope doesn't really work with his attitude in ROTS (what happened to change his mind so drastically?) but that's hardly Stover's fault - it builds on the cut scenes from AOTC. And I liked it better that way...

Jedi_Riches posted:I loved this book, though in truth I only read it one when it came out (I should probable go back and re-read it at some point) it is definatly the most gritty of all of the EU books that I have read, I am intregued to how his new book will be like as he diffinatly gets inside characters heads well. How come he only has 3 SW books to his name (with another on its way)when he is clearly the best author by far.
Shatterpoint posted:We feel the truth when we stop analysing it. The Jedi is altruistic less because to be so is good, than because to be because to be so is safe: to use the Force for personal ends is dangerous. This is the trap that can snare even the most good, kind, caring Jedi: it leads to what we call the dark side. The Force acts through us when we surrender all effort. A Jedi does not decide. A Jedi trusts. To put it another way: we are not trained to think. We are trained to know. Power to do good eventually becomes just power. Naked force. An end in itself.
