    I don't follow the EU much, mostly because it seems to me they push the new characters they create over the older Lucas characters.
    I do like some of the Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina, though.

    Hi mistryl! :) I read most of the EU stuff, and I'm actually pretty disappointed with the way Luke's portrayed. I know he's supposed to be calm and have a quiet demeanor, but I want him to have some umph! Go luke! 8-}

    Hey guys! I am so sorry I've been away for so long. The last couple of times I looked it was still on page 2. I had absolutely no clue that it had skyrocketed to PAGE 4!!! I'm so happy. lightnight, thanks so much for welcoming everyone back...I should have but I didn't think anyone was EVER going to stop by!! :)

    Okay, roster time. So far we have:

    Skywalker
    Son of Suns
    Binary Sunset
    Kid
    Lukester

    Let's see...what else? How about Bluesaber? Not the most original thing in the world but hey it's an idea. Or....Wormie [face_mischief] . THAT WAS A JOKE!

    No need to thank me, Dejade,it's been a pleasure! ;)

    You're right! Some of the new books are not just promoting excesively new caracters over the old ones, but also treating Luke in a way we can even call 'infamous'... I've been informed by some of the members of the SOS Luke thread in Literature, and, right now, I'm reading the trilogy they consider that treats him the worse:The New Jedi Order, where Luke's figure is almost replaced by Jacen Solo (son of Han and Leia)


    BTW, welcome to the Lukesters side, Elori!!

    I don't like the way Jacen is made to look better, or at least more heroic, than Luke. I don't even CARE about Jacen... :)

    Hey, Wormie is kinda growing on me... [face_mischief] :D

    I've got a couple more.

    Landspeeder
    Powerconverter
    Tatooine
    WayHandsomerthanAnakin 8-}

    Kind of long, but I'm all open for more ideas! :D

    Hmm..our roster names have to be more LUKE-defining--well, mine have to be...

    I like Wormie...I wish that whole scene was put in ANH it is great background for Luke's character, to show what a nerd he was...And he became someone so awesome <<sigh>> All men should be able to do 2 story backflips and levitate heavy objects off the ground...and not even break a sweat...though sweat is good ;)

    On the one hand, I like how EU-Luke has become so powerful, and re-created the Order of the Jedi.

    On the other hand, he definitely needs to be a bit more pro-active. I like his clashes with Kyp, but he needs to do a bit more. At the moment, I've read all the books set after ROTJ up to Destiny's Way (need to get that one soon).

    OK: I'll vote for 'Kid' and 'Lukester'...
    Thought I like the others... No, decisions have been done. There goes my vote.

    I will put a :D next to my choice.
    My second choice will get a :) just because I want to have a runners-up.

    Skywalker
    Son of Suns
    Binary Sunset
    Kid
    Lukester
    Tatooine :D
    Bluesaber
    Wormie :)
    Powerconverter
    Landspeeder

    Hey, that's a cool way to vote, hinty hint-hint.

    I just think that having names like Tatooine 5, Tatooine 8 would look good on a roster... :)

    I initially thought I liked "Lukester" best, but I agree about "Tatooine," DeJade. So here is my revised vote with my #1 as :D and my #2 as :) :

    Skywalker
    Son of Suns
    Binary Sunset
    Kid
    Lukester :)
    Tatooine :D
    Bluesaber
    Wormie
    Powerconverter
    Landspeeder

    I like the other ones, too, but we've got to narrow it down somehow!

    Okay, for first place so far it's Tatooine with 3 votes. For runners-up it's Lukester with 3 votes...

    I'm not really sure why we have a runners-up...unless we want a handy name for any small extra squadron that comes up.
