I haven't read much EU material, so I would have to re-read a lot in order to get back up to speed.

I'm slogging through Death Star, right now. It isn't a bad book, but it just doesn't grab me the way that some of the other novels have done in the past. Same was said true with Millenium Falcon. I was a bit disappointed with that one, as well.

I just got to the part where Motti's mentor was blown up in that freak "accident"... but I can see where it is starting to pick up a little bit. Still, it is a bit straining to read, although not nearly as bad as the "Tales" books.

I've been reading the Republic Commando series which is probably why I've been on a SW kick lately. I still haven't read anything from the NJO or later in the timeline. So, I also have a lot that I'd have to read to get up to speed.

Death Star was okay. Like Darth_McCain said, it starts to pick up after a while. I had trouble connecting with the characters... they kinda read as background characters.

Yeah... I think that is why it is so slow going for me. It really reads more like a "Tales" book than anything.

Yes its a complete background novel but I loved it personally finding out more about the Death Star was something I was wanting since I first saw A New Hope.

The Republic Commando series is fantastic and i find that people either hate Traviss's writing or love it. I personally love it.

I'm reading Legacy of the Force-Sacrifice now. I like the series so far. I also like the Republic Commando Series and can't wait for the Imperial Commando series.

OT- What I'm really waiting for is the SW Atlas.

How ironic that Eric's post was time stamped 11:38. Very significant to the the Star Wars genre....

You couldn't have done that on purpose, if you tried, huh, Eric?
