    Yes, rather predictable. However, the other news looks good.

    It says that Nen Yim will be noticed by a Vong higher up. Nom Anor?

    Am I the only one pleased by the naming of junior skywalker? I mean come on, Luke has to pay homage in one way or another. The news about Kyp is nothing surprising (lets see Jag or Zekk come in and vape his hide!), another world under attack, a kiss (wow, he's at that age now, surprise), and the Falcon's nickname (worth a laugh).

    I don't know, the news brought a smile to my face, I can't wait til it comes out!

    When I saw the headline, I immediately lost all self-control. I am extremely pleased with the results.

    And many, many years later we have this exchange:

    Dead Obi-Wan: Thank you for naming your son after me, Luke. It was an honor.

    Dead Luke: Your welcome.

    Dead Qui-Gon: His name is Obi-Wan, though..

    Dead Obi-Wan: But I LIKE Ben..

    Dead Qui-Gon: We named the dog Ben..

    Ignore me, its been a long day.

    I like the name. Very cool. :)

    Tatooine... yay.

    The name... I guess its cool, but I maybe would have liked something else.

    Now, lets just hope this report is real. And I wonder how they got this. Someone who won the manuscript sent in spoilers? That sucks.

    Uhhh...Jaina is in her teens, and Kyp is in his fourties.


    What gave, I thought? Thirty years difference? What gave? I was about to find out. ;)

    Well, I'm happy with that name. I'll miss calling it the Skycrawler though.

    Ho hum. How boring and predictable.

    And annoying. Just when I'd forgotten about that name... Guess it would be too much to ask for the Lucas-folks to be original.

    I too was hoping for an unusual name. However this baby isn't a big deal to me, at least not yet. So I wouldn't give it too much thought anyhow.

    If Lando has flooring from a specific world we know, why can't Luke and Leia find information about their mother?

    Very interesting possibility: Imagine if Ben Skywalker or Anakin Solo goes to the dark side, and the other tries to redeem the other.

    You would have Anakin vs. Ben again!!!

    Oh the irony!! :)

    "We named the dog Ben..." *lol*

    *sigh* Man... why couldn't they name him Daeris? And "Kyp appears to flirt with Jaina"... Wassup with that? Jag definitely needs to go kill the little bugger in his clawcraft. In any case, it's about time they start recognizing the prequels later on in the NJO, and it's good to know that Naboo (probably) hasn't yet been destroyed.

    Like I said, the age difference is disgustingly far spread apart.

    "If Lando has flooring from a specific world we know, why can't Luke and Leia find information about their mother?"

    It'd be easy for Vader to eliminate any infomation about Amidala from records on Naboo and the rest of the galaxy. That dosn't mean Naboo was destroyed or anything.

    Just because some secret agent comes from Mexico and works for the US government, and then we try to cover it up or something, it dosn't mean we have to destroy Mexico.

    Ben... kinda predictable, but oh well.

    Kyp and Jaina, yuck. I hope she tells him off. :D

    Anakin and Tahiri, cute. :)

    *Spoilers*
    Like we don't already know.






    I like the Name. However I agree with a lot of people: NJO is becoming TOO predictable. Since Chewie's death, which was awesome, it just keeps heading in one direction. No major happenings to Characters. Two things from BP 1) Jaina will regain her vision, it would have been much more interesting if she would have been blind until they got her new eyes. 2) Leia's going to keep her legs even though Jacen thinks to himself a million sticken times she gonna lose ym. We need to see some major trady soon and Maybe Luke, LORD MOST HIGH I hope NOT, has to die to bring back what we were gonna have in NJO, unpredictablity.

    Ben is probly what they should of named him tough. It sounds good and makes sense.
    Kyp is only 14 years older than Jaina. But I still don't like it. Why do all the Solo kid's have to have 'lovers' that are also Force Sensitive? At least two (the twins) should 'date' non-force users. Anakin can have his girl. They probly get married before the end of NJO, which is way to soon.
    I betting Nom Anor or the Warmaster dude is the Vong higher up.
    I don't beleive the nickname for the Falcon, not yet at least.

    *End spoiler (I THINK NOT -Dizzt)*

    p.s. I just got done with the Dark Elf Triology and I'm reading the Crystal Shard Right Now.

    I can't wait to read this book. This is the first SW book I have been excited about in a long time. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

    As far as the name goes... it is cool. Like everyone already said, predictable, but cool.
