Star Wars EU - recommendations *Give it a try, EU doesn't bite*

Did you manage to find clone wars volume 6 for me Tim?

 

I was going to ping you on msn, no luck at either of the two shops in Liverpool, I am in Glasgow next so I can try their Forbidden Planet there if you want. Still got time before Manchester

 

Cheers anyway mate

Keep an eye out in glasgow but only if its conviniant.

 

DewbackRider88 - I nearly 100% sure I found CW tpb #6 (I had to confirm the number via here as I stupidly didn't have it written down) up here in Glasgow - think it was £15. I'll get you it as soon as FP opens, if someone hasn't nipped in before me. Will let you know Monday night

Legacy #5 is out, Moose - I'll send it on Sat

 

actually i am quite interested I just dont know where to start yet (i would like to start right after esb but i dont know what the books are calle dand in which language I should read em.

 

Hi DarthTyneJedi, welcome to the FF-UK
There is a book called "Shadows of the Empire" by Steve Perry that could be a good starting point, since it bridges the gap between ESB and ROTJ. It was part of a multimedia project that included a comic series, a soundtrack, a game and other media. It's a good book to begin from.

Edit: Just had an idea - how about an FF-UK SW Book Discussion Club? We work out what book people interested own or can get hold off, we all read it (give it two weeks or so) then discuss it? I know Terry had proposed such an idea before for general sci-fi/Fantasy books, how about trying one with SW?

 

Picked up issue 1 of Dark Times today and I must say it is very, very good!!

 

Ouch.

The EU bit me

 

Tim: I got it wednesday, I think, but it was too big for my latter box, which is odd as I've had bigger letters before. I got it yesterday. I loved it.

Next issue is going to be so cool. With Master Sazen having found Cade and Cade using force powers, where will that leave Cade? What will his Jedi hating companion think? Will Sazen know Cade is his former pupil? Will the troopers makes an appearance as well? They did seem to be a bit random tbh.

I'm finding it hard not to squeal like an over excited fangirl. ^_^

 

Out recently -

DHC - Star Wars Legacy #5 and 6
DHC - Star Wars Dark Times #1
Del Rey - Star Wars Legacy of the Force: Tempest

 

now I will start at the beginning eg: the thrawn trilogy

 

The EU'S Darth Revan action figure is near completion and looks great!

That Revan figure looks great, and even better news I saw there was that there will be a Quinlan Vos figure - I am so gonna get that, hopefully get Jan Duursema to sign it

Two previews of new comics coming soon ...

SW Legacy #7 (warning - spoiler, the front cover has what may be to some a "shocking" image, but to others it's inevitable ... so don't blame me )

SW Knights of the Old Republic #12

 

I got Bloodlines today so I'm well chuffed. Also, LOVING Legacy and the KOTOR comics! Superb work by Dark Horse and long may it continue.

 

I'm not going to read the preview pages for Legacy, I want to wait until I have it in my hands. I can't wait.

 

When is the next Legacy out?

 

It's out missus, I'll send on Monday, I got delayed last weekend. Will PM you tomorrow night, been at work late tonight and a bit tired.

 

That's cool, hope all is ok.

I'll dig through my PMs and send you the cheque when uni has calmed down a bit, I currently have lots of work to do and exams and stuff.
