Aha! Read the book!

I now know EVERYTHING.

And I got sunburned. That's what ya get for crashing outside on a chaise lounge to read for four hours....oops. I HURT!!

 

Yeh i went and got me copy of THE BOOK yesterday.

As i dont like being spoiled, i'm trying not to read it until after i've seen the film.


I am currently on chapter 3

 

LOL!

I'm kind of bummed though. It doesn't cover as much as I hoped it would. I guess the real juicy stuff is in Ep III.

 

Why read the book for the spoilers?? Just check the scriptment.

 

Mines should be coming either today or tomorrow.

 

awww, thats means ill have read it before the film. there's no way ill be able to hold out.

 

ack - don't read Salvatores piece of $#!^ !


disclaimer: Although i have not personally read any of his work I hear it is still popular to 'slag off' , for want of a better phrase, the 'EU' and therefore, I do.

 

Lol @ TC. I read the last chapter. But I have also read the scriptments and followed all the spoilers.

 

Frankly, I thought Vector Prime was pretty poorly written.

 

Apart from the Chewbacca bit on Zernpidal, I thought it was a good book. The worst so far is Elaine Cunningham's Dark Journey, closely followed by the Agents of Chaos duology.

 

Salvatore is a fantastic writer. I have a signed Vector Prime!!!

His non SW books are fab.

Some people are just too darn blinkered.

And with that...I is off to the first meeting of the day!

 

I think The crystal Star is by far the worst.


I will read the novel but not yet. I know all the spoilers so it's not cos of that. It's just, well, I want to see it on screen first. I'm very particular about that. Just like I HAD to read LOTR before I saw the movie. Just the other way round.

 

Crystal Star. That was the last book I read.

 

I was only talking about NJO... Crystal Star is bad. So is most of the EU, I've decided. After re-reading them, I can't believe I even enjoyed them first time round. Jedi Academy trilogy by Anderson is poop in particular. The only one I really liked was I, Jedi by Mike Stackpole.

 

I liked the Jedi academy trilogy first time around. And the Zahn trilogy. But there were others that were just bad. I guess I really stopped reading cause they were making movies and I wasn't starved of Start Wars anymore. I Jedi looks good. But I had to stop buying eventually cause I got them all in Hardback and it was getting expensive.

 

Yeah. I still like Zahn's trilogy too.

 

I've disliked just about every star wars book I've every read - but I keep reading them to get my fix.

bought AOTC yesterday and have quite enjoyed the first 3 or four chapters (but that could well be the SW endorphin rush)

Also bought the illustrated guide and more importantly a Jango Fett Figure - the shop assistant at Argos seemed to be implying that I was a geek - I don't see it myself

 

lol!

And Chet... it's well worth it! Good book and original for the EU!

 

I, Jedi is the best EU books.

Cuz its about (my) Corran

 

What's this I'Jedi about then? - someone else told me it was good.

 

Corran's wife is kidnapped.

He has to embrace the ways of the Force to try and trace her.

He spends a bit of time at the Jedi Academy. In fact, its parallel to the Jedi Academy books...and far better in my opinion.

Quite kick ass...theres a fab bit with Luke - Corran's getting his ass kicked in this lane and he hears the snap-hiss at the end of the lane and its Luke...verra dramatic...

mmmmm - I see , might have a look after the AOTC fuss had died out.

 

It's also written in the first person perspective, which is fairly novel for Star Wars

 

You can have my hardback copy if you want, Chet. I've got too many books altogether as it is.

 

ahhhhh i see - as in "I,Jedi" - (who's perspective?)
