Maverick Moon...

I just found this book at a Half Price Books store. It's got some nice pictures, and the story is ok too. Not a bad deal, for just five cents more then the original price. I hope to find some of the other SW picture books someday.

YES! !! ! ! the maverick moon!! ! !!
when i was in 5th grade and just getting to star wars because my dad bought me the ORIGINAL xwing game on 3.5 floppy disks, thats what they had in my elementary school library ! i always wondered how it fit into continuity years later, but what a great book !

 

Hey, TalonCard, I LOVE Half Price Books! I have three in Columbus Ohio. Where do you live?

 

Texas. They're all over the place. They've been a great help to me in my quest to have a complete collection of SW novels. I think I've bought at least half of my SW novels there. I only need twenty-five more. Let's hear it for Half-Price!

What 25 left do you need to find? Maverick moon is listed in the bibliography of the eg to characters as an valid official source.

 

I don't really like the story. I hate the 70's cheese art. I found it at a swap meet in 1996 for $ 5. Rip-off.

 

Yeah, but Sturm, when you're like 6 or something it's awesome.

You have to put things into perspective a bit when you look at these "classic" Star Wars goodies.

 

The art in "Mystery of the Rebellious Robot" is soooo cool though!

 

God bless Half-Price.

Besides The Maverick Moon (which I'd love to have a copy of), anybody have The Droid Dilema, or The Mystery of the Rebellious Robot?

 

Is that the one with Luke in some city or something? I remember when I was 5 I had a star wars picture book. All I remember is that it had Luke, and he had his landspeeder and he rode around in a cool city. Thinking back it reminds me of the paintings of Alderaan.

 

That's the one, Wedge.

 

Hey Bubba, you live in Columbus? I go to school in UA, where do you live?

I love Half Price Books. I haven't been to one in a while, but I think there's one on Sawmil.

 

Awesome! Now I have to go find out what happened to that book.

 

The Droid Dilema doesn't exist. It was never printed.

I do indeed have Maverick Moon and Rebellious Robot.

 

>What 25 left do you need to find?

Heh, I meant regular SW novels, not the old picture books. I can post a list. Right now I'm complete up to Return of the Jedi. After that, it gets a little spacey.

I'm glad to see that it's a part of the continuity. It's a fun little book, and the story goes with a line in SWM#1, saying the Rebellion is in desperate need of pilots.

Anybody have The Wookie Storybook? Or The Adventures of Teebo? I've got Planet of the Hoojibs.

LFL ought to republish all these in one volume. "The Great Big Star Wars Bedtime Storybook." That would be SO cool.

TC

 

Sounds cool to me.

 

Half Priced Books is a Force-sent!

I love my local one. Got myself a ton of trade paperback comics this weekend during their addition 20% off sale.

I didn't get Maverick Moon there, but I do own that book. I think it's a pretty ok kids book. I did find The Ewoks Join the Fight at HPB though.

Just a hint... I've found SW children's books on Ebay for reasonable prices.

EDIT: I have the Adventures of Teebo. It's pretty long for a child's book, but that just means I got more for my $ when I bought it off Ebay.

I dont have a lot of Ewoks books (I only have the 1988 Annual, Wicket and the Dandelion Warriors, Wickett Finds a Way, and Three Cheers for Kneesaa.) but yes, I do have the Wookiee Storybook. It's a fun read, and has beautiful art.

 

Yes, it do live in Columbus! I go to Kilbourne High School, and yes, there is a Half-Price on Sawmill, as well as Lane Avenue. Have you been to both of them?


I have scans of Planet of the Hoojibs and Droid World: The Further Adventures, as well as the audio dramas.

Anyone have Star Wars: Adventures in Colors and Shapes? I think it holds some lore in it. Features a smuggler named Zilnor.

 

Kilbourne, I've been past there a few times. I go to Wellington.

I've been the the Half Price Books on Sawmill, but not on Lane. I guess I'll have to check it out some time. Love those places.

 

We have a Half Priced Bookstore in Cincinnati too. That place rules.

 

Awesome, DS5! Hope to see you around town someday!


Yep, I've been to the Cinncinati one as well. Found two rare WEG books, and I believe there are several more to be found soon...

 

I have the Wookkie Storybook.

Did you know Wooks can send there thoughts over long distances? I didn't either.

(how retarded.)

 

So some wookies are telapathic?

 

Sounds like it. Maybe it WAS Chewie who talked to Jacen on Duro. ?


Hey Lawg, didn't it also say that the Wookiees could've also have come from another world originally?
