    What should have followed? Certainly not what was in FH books.

    I think he meant in terms of LOTF.

    However, Force Heretic -- looking at Jacen's arc -- are fine.

    Oh, including where he decides to revert all the way back to his pre-Traitor self as he tries to tell Sekot it shouldn't fight the Vong?

    As for post-NJO, so many better things. Teaching an Apprentice, watching and aiding the galaxy recover from the Vong's rampage, basically anything but going dark side in order to get a mystic high!

    I don't think that's his pre-Traitor self. He could have had the World Brain destroy Yuuzhan'tar or fight the Yuuzhan Vong -- but he didn't.

    This! Helping bridge the gap between the Vong and the galaxy as well.

    Bridging the gap? That'd require them to continue writing stories featuring the Vong. ;)

    As did I, but we were wrong. Because the great Troy Denning understood what we really needed: More Dark Jedi and Sith.

    Even then, as I recall, it wasn't so much the fate of the New Republic itself but of Wraith Squadron specifically, wasn't it? That they were on a mission where if the codes were captured, they could be compromised? Or maybe I'm misremembering it. But in any case, I think it also works because as readers, we were aware that the Empire wasn't after the Killik Twilight for the codes, they were after it because it was a piece of art from Alderaan that Thrawn wanted so he could understand the Rebel leadership.

    I thought he just wanted it because he's a collector, and the fact that someone tried to destroy it rather than let it fall into his hands piqued his curiosity and kind of spilled the secret.

    Sigh. I like the Jedi battling the Sith but I love seeing various enemies going for galactic domination or whatever it is that they are doing. The galaxy is so much more than JvS. Show that.

    How similar/different is YJK Jaina and NJO Jaina?

    Very similar, IMO. She fared the best as far as transferal from YJK to NJO. Jacen and Anakin had their personalities sort of swapped–but that didn't bother me; they were kids so their personalities should be changing and evolving as they mature.

    I need to finish JJK but Anakin was over his fear of the Dark Side by the end of that wasn't he? Jacen is a bit harder to explain but a read through of YJK will happen soon.
