    I agree, Kelly, your site is really great! I, too, really like those pictures of Corran in the NEGtC. His hair looked a little bit redder than I'd pictured, but I still really like them.

    Yikes, I had no idea that was Michael Stackpole. I thought he looked different?

    Corran Horn is the man! And I'm a bit miffed that we probably won't get much more about him in the NJO.
    By the way, that was pretty cool that Stackpole posed for Corran.

    He's getting put in the books more again now, but I still don't think that it is enough.

    Corran is way too interesting of a character to neglect in stories..

    It is nice that he is appearing in the books, but I'm actually sort of happy that he isn't being used a lot. I'm always leery when I see someone else writing him than Stackpole. I'm always afraid that someone's going to get him wrong and butcher him. I have to say that I haven't had too many issues with the way he's been used in the NJO. I think I'm of the opinion that the more page time he has, the more opportunities there are to see him and to maybe get something good, but there are also that many opportunites for him to be screwed up. Almost every book, I find myself afraid of this, and every book I find myself relieved when he's not butchered. I know it is unfair to many of the authors, who are quite good, but I remember other characters in the Bantam line that have been written incorrectly, plus I've had some bad experiences with multiple authors in other settings. So, to sum it up, I'm torn when it comes to how much of Corran we should see.

    Woo hoo! Corran rocks!

    I'm really looking forward to seeing more of Corran in the NJO. Anyone know if Stackpole is writing anymore NJO novels? It seems like I've seen the schedule somewhere, but can't place it. That would seem to be the best chance for Corran to get a lot of pages devoted to him in a NJO novel.

    To the best of my knowledge, Mike Stackpole is not slated to write any more Star Wars books in the near future. He probably won't write until the New Jedi Order series is finished, if even then. Hopefully they'll ask him to do another novel when that series has finished its run. Currently, if I recall correctly, he is working on Battletech and the next novel in his Dragoncrown series.

    Oh well. At least there's some X-Wing novels I still haven't gotten around to reading, so I can always get my Corran fix there.

    If only they would do some more of the X-Wing comics. The we could get another fix of our favorite pilot and Jedi.
    I just hope they include him more in the next few NJO books.

    Allston writes Corran pretty well. Zahn did a good job too. Not to mention Troy Denning. So, there's still hope for Corran to show up more. :D

    True, I do think that Zahn and Allston did decent job of portraying him. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he will keep popping up with these authors' help.

    As I said, there are other authors who seem to do well. Allston, Zahn, Denning, and Keyes all did a pretty decent job with him. I feel very fortunate and hope that this trend continues.

    As for anyone who hasn't read the X-wing books: READ THEM! I don't understand why you haven't already. I made myself read them before I would allow myself to read I, Jedi, in fact, because the story looked so intriguing I knew I would want to know who this Corran Horn was before I read I, Jedi. The X-wing books are quite good. Plus you get to see a lot of Wedge and Tycho, which is never a bad thing. And Aaron Allston's X-wing books, although light on Corran appearances, are just as good, if not better in some ways. So, log off your computer, go to your nearest bookstore, and pick up Rogue Squadron today!

    I'm in! I love Corran! I bought I, Jedi when it came out but only just read it a last month. I really loved him in the NJO! I've recently begun reading the X-Wing series! He's just...so Corellian! Never read about a Corellian that I didn't love!!

    THANK GOD!!! Sorry I'm late, just finished schooling Skywalker & Durron in a Force battle. Corran Horn kicks @$$!
    And I've got a suitable name. (nyah-nyah)
    By the way Kelly sorry I haven't visited your site lately. NJO and theforce,net have been taking up my time.
    Side note: Why do people think Kyp's better than Corran?

    Jedi_MasterHorn,

    You don't have to apologize for not visiting my page. If you choose to visit, great. If not, what am I going to do? Come down and stand over you until you do? 8)

    Why do people think Kyp is better than Corran? You know, those people that do think this are probably wonder why people think Corran is better than Kyp? We can guess all day the reasoning, but we can never fathom their minds, just like they'll never be able to fathom ours.

    I could say something about the fact that Kyp fans are brain-dead, but I'm already in trouble elsewhere for admitting-*cough*- I mean pretending supremacy, and besides, Kyp's straightening up.

    But we folks should do something- maybe write a Corran fanfic with each of us writing one paragraph at a time? Or would that be as stupid as it sounds?

    What do you have to do to join the Corran Horn Fan Club? I love Corran! I've just started the X-Wing Series. After reading the Dark Tide duology I am hooked! After I'm done w/ RD & RS I will continue with Wedge's Gamble. I love Mirax, too! Which book do they get married in? :)
