Oh, you've already switched. Fine, here's one: "Kevin J. Anderson's long-awaited prequel to that one plotline in the Jedi Academy Trilogy"
Two ancient Sith Lords scream at each other, naive explorers are easily duped, and lightsabers still need a charge.
Cursory backstory of the Evil Spirit Mentor to the Evil Spirit Mentor of Kyp Durron that has somehow achieved a crucial place in the history of the galaxy, Jedi, Sith and an MMO even as the entire rest of the Tales of the Jedi drifted into obscurity.
Two young humans blindly dial the Stargate jump into hyperspace, leaping headfirst into a strange new world of political intrigue, and setting off a chain of events which climaxes in a battle where the Goa'uld Sith turn on one another, with Apophis Dor Gal-Ram and Ra's Horak-mul's forces commandeered by their own Jaffa Massassi and turned against their ally Ba'al Ludo Kressh as part of Anubis's Naga Sadow's evil master plan... (Yes, I know GAotS came first, but I can never resist poking fun at SPAAAACE EGYPT!)
Funny thing, of all places to remember that it is the Legacy comics, which has this deeply heart wrenching scene.
@Relaxus narrowly edges out Culator for the win. RC, you can always resubmit yours for the correct book.
Imagine an ancient era of nomadic Jedi Knights, fighting evil and battling bizarre dark side cults, in the golden age of the Old Republic . . . and then imagine it not really being much good.
Ulic and friends play with the animals, Nomi gets trained by a triceratops, and there's a character actually named Finhead Stonebone.
How can you guys think tis was boring? It had freaken giant flying lizards with lasers on their backs!
After some time on the sidelines and/or losing horribly, @Havac makes a triumphant return to the winners' circle.
Freedon Nadd decides to play Grima Wormtongue, King Ommin plays an evil King Theoden and Cay preempts the Skywalkers by getting his arm sliced off.
A group that is seriously called "Naddists" create some mummy-stealing trouble on Dxun, where they already stole a vowel, and the whole thing escalates really quickly when it turns out that the galaxy's lamest Sith have been hanging out on this backwater crapball planet for no reason doing nothing but now they're going to start a war, plus some spoiled kids who randomly have Force powers decide they want to be Sith and show up, so there's lots of fighting involving a ridiculously old man possessed by Mr. Nadd and a dopey Vader ripoff named Warb Null, which is ultimately resolved when our hero chops up the old man's back brace and scares off the ghost of Ol' Free Nadd, crippling him to death.
The story that does not want to be found or read. I looked forever for a copy of this before finally admitting defeat a couple years back.
The most expensive trade paperback in my collection that is simultaneously the most worthless trade paperback in my collection.
