Wes dies, and then doesn't, which is a relief, and Booster does to Fey'lya what we wish someone else had done during the Vong War.
Zing? I don't really remember Corran learning to use the lightsaber that effectively in this one, though. Didn't he just sort of swing a lightsaber at a guys back? Yeah, he's well on his way to learning to use a deadly baseball bat
I'm trying to stay on-topic! And in the SW Universe! That was in Bacta War, this time he definitely had more control of the saber!
I actually don't remember Corran using his silver saber aside from that instance... can you remind me?
This time when presumed dead Corran takes the rest of the Rogues along for the ride, while his father in law kicks Bothan A.
I'm fairly certain that the things I was thinking of exist in the GFFA. In the X-Wing books in particular.
But but by that logic, if I think it's not enough, democracy demands that he continue or call for a recount.
Ah, but he thinks democracy has no power. He said so earlier. Therefore he wouldn't vote because it'd be pointless. CooperTFN-this time, the tangent is YOUR fault!
Not only did Isard magically escape death . . . so did her clone, so now here they are lamely popping up in a sort of extended single-book epilogue several years later so we'd have an excuse to see the Rogues get promoted after The Thrawn Trilogy -- but at least this time all the Rogues can get in on the fake-Corran-death action.
Corran, Wedge, and the Rogues storm the Tion Hegemony to kill both Isards and Krennel while rescuing Jan Dodonna from Isards' clutches
The Rogues demonstrate that AT-ATs actually go down really easily when faced with an X-Wing, which makes the battle of Hoth make no sense. If we want to create yet another tangent, I could discuss how @Todd the Jedi's use of "gladiis" could constitute ablative of means, in which case he may have been technically correct.
Janson apparently dies to get him out of the way of Isard v Isard because he had way too much screentime in the Wraith books and may have overshadowed Corran with his pure awesomeness.
Started this round a little late, but I think @Havac is the clear winner at this point, so I'll move on. SWDBPODANOTOR. Hav, don't disappoint me.
Darth Bane goes through occupation after occupation until finally settling on evil mastermind, 'cause miner, soldier, and Sith Lord were just not good enough for him.
Bane's ascent to Sith Lord is told in the most generic, dull, needlessly contradictory fashion imaginable, for adults like me.
Disgruntled sociopathic miner turned soldier is recruited to the Sith Hogwarts where he plays the role of a 300lb Harry Potter before slaughtering Draco Malfoy, being seduced by Hermione, and claiming his destiny by getting Voldemort to blow himself up.
The book that did it's darnedest to rewrite the supremely awesome Jedi vs Sith while trying to make Bane seem less of a badarse than he really is in the worst way possible.
The writer of KotOR I writes a novel set roughly 3000 years later, though you would never know it from the technology, characters, locations, and plot.
