    [blockquote]Del Ray created something I now despise--a universe that is possibly more realistic. Admittedly, I liked the plotlines like in the X-Wing series--full of humor, but with drama. Shooting your enemies was about all you had to worry about. The Force started to annoy me to the highest degree, especially when even simple things like RPing became a debate of Force-related views...And, yeah, IMO, the characters were screwed. Sure, it resulted in a bit of Chiss and Jagged Fel, but that can just not make up for Vong!Tahiri, Sithy!Jacen, and JainaTaat. I guess what I'm just trying to say is that I prefered the more simplistic outlook: Star Wars novels are something I read when I want a break. I'm looking for a bit of mindless fluff with a side of drama and Star Destroyers. Not a philosophical debate[/blockquote]

    [hr]

    This isn't the first time I've come across this sentiment in people concerning NJO to LOTF, but I always found it odd considering that back when SW books were mindless fluff I kept coming across people who wanted more serious, dramatic, and realistic plotlines.


    As for me I love SW whether its escapism or or over-wrought philosophical debates I can't get enough.

    Little break from discussion on books (Are we actually discussing?? A first proabbly :p ) for an announcement from the EUS :)

    1.An idea was raised that all Fan Clubs create there own fan fiction for eveyone to read based on the people in the club. Now I know Addie just started another WK fic (Yay!) but I think it would be better to have a fic with everyone in it, if someone steps up to write it ;)

    So, I guess I'm looking to see if we have volunteers who would want to write such a fic! More than one person is encouraged as it lessens the load for everyone and is a group bonding activity!

    2. The Callista Fan Club is currently being hosted and anyone that wants to bop in and say high is more thatn welcome to do so :D

    Namely, Sinre. :p
    Yes, I'm sure some of those people are happy now.
    The rest of them might be feeling a little bit of 'be careful what you wish for'. ;)

    True, very true.

    Half of that group of fans don't like SW anymore either the Prequels or the NJO turned them off it. The other half loves SW more than ever now. [shrugs]

    LoTF has been, so far, kind of a let-down. The writing is superb, but I just am really not that interested in the subject matter. However, it was all made worth it by the "Loooooove Commander" from Exile.

    LotF finally introduced us to the full-grown awesomeness that are the Antilles girls. What would we do without them?

    One major problem with living in a small town that doesn't even have a train station: no matter when everybody else gets the books, it'll be a further six months until they show up in the bookshop here, if they do so at all.:mad:

    [hr]

    It would be far more exciting to me if they hadn't taken my favorite character, Jacen, and turned him into someone I can't stand, Darth JINO. But then LOTF wouldn't be on the shelves at all, cuz his turning is the driving force (no pun intended there) behind the whole story.

    The only thing that has made this worthwhile is the feeling I get when reading LOTF that anything could happen-even (gasp) killing off 1 or more of the big 3 (Luke, Han, or Leia) If it happened say in the NJO...I don't know if I'd be able to accept it, it was tough enough with Chewie and Anakin, but one of the big 3? Yet if anyone could kill one of them...it seems appropriate that it be Jacen somehow.

    Perhaps that was because I'm just a fan of his, [face_thinking] , hard to tell.


    And I agree about the 'Loooove Commander' line. I was reading that part of Exile in the break room at work, and broke out laughing like a lunatic. My coworkers looked at me in the weirdest way. [face_blush]

    Hello Poo. Bringing a book to work is a good idea, Poo. I just started a full time job and I get an hour for lunch. Not much to do for an hour and I started falling asleep against a tree I was leaning on.

    As for the books I like the NJO, better then some of the older books.

    Welcome! And I agree with Drumming-Jedi: book = good idea. I've done a fair amount of temp. work at a primary school over the years, and during my hour lunch break, I was reduced to raiding the library. Read more children's books over two weeks than I cared to count.

    An Hour lunch? I'm so jealous right now. All I get is a half-hour out of a twelve hour day. The Place I work at is run by Ebenezer Scrooge, I swear. [face_angry]

    But in regards to reading during my lunch breaks. I've done so ever since i started there. There's nothing else to do really. I've gotten to know some of my coworkers to where I can chat with them, but we don't go on breaks at the same time so the best bet to stave off boredom is a good book I find. The tough part is cutting it off just when my book is getting really good to go back to the 'ole grindstone' when the break's over. It always happens at the best parts, or maybe that's just me subconsciously not wanting to go back to the 'sweatshop' my work is. [face_whistling]
