Zahnites Unite!!!!!!

Well technically AdmiralDae all i have read is his SW books but I have read them 3 times over which is not that much but I am a huge fan!!

 

I keep meaning to read his non-SW stuff.

 

I just basically stick to Star Wars in the Sci-fi realm.

 

Lets up this sucker because the founder is back!!

 

#96 90% of the worlds, characters, and ships in the rts game rebellion came from thrawn's first 3 sw books.

 

Hell a lot came from the Thrawn trilogy:

Coruscant
Thrawn(!)
The Chiss
Pellaeon
Borsk Fey'lya
Mara Jade
Jacen and Jaina Solo
Karrde
Noghri

Now the NJO would have been a lot different without Zahn's contributions wouldn't it?

 

Now that you bring that up yes it would have.

Would we even have a NJO if not for Zahn?

 

Would we???????

 

Nope, we wouldn't

 

Okay, here's a discussion topic for you Zahnites: How would the Jedi Academy Trilogy looked like if Zahn, not Anderson, had written it?

Example: Daala wouldn't be as brilliant as Thrawn, but she would be bloody clever, and Kratas would have a role more fitting to his position, instead of saying something stupid at the wrong time.

 

Personally I think the JAT was a half way decent trilogy. But if Zahn had written it the potential could have been so much more. Daala would be more smart and pelleon wouldn't have been as stupid.

 

Daala wasn't stupid, she was actually quite smart. Her strategies however were of at least 10 years prior, so she was woefully outdated in her attack plans.

And if Zahn wrote JAT, it'd be ten times more awesome!

 

Pellaeon would have recalled more of the lessons he learned from Thrawn.


Something I've always wondered why the heck did the ditch the suncrusher b4 they got the secret of it's armor. If you were a NR admiral and you had the chance to acquire armor that would allow a small ship to crash through a stardestroyer and survive would YOU let it out of your hands?

 

Well, I'm an idiot! I see this thread in the EUC probably a thousand times, but I always kinda miss it for who knows why . . . I love Zahn! So I'll just jump right in:

If Zahn wrote JAT? Hmmm. Tricky one, there. Most of you talk about the Imperials, and I agree. But there's also the good guys. I think Han and Leia were both well charactized, but Luke didn't seem to be written all that well, in my opinion: more made to fit Kyp's image of 'weak' when he was under the hold of the Dark Side. Maybe . . .

And I hated the idea of Luke sending the children off to Anoth Yes, they are prone to the Dark Side, but that was just cruel. Poor Leia.

And to use Yavin IV? That planet just got used to much, between the Massassi (I think that's how you spell it . . . the species that is now extinct on Yavin) Exar Kun, the Death Star, and now the praxeum. A bit to much for my taste. Sort of like how authors (both published and fanfic) seem to over use Tatooine and Corellia

If Zahn had written JAT, here's what I'm thinking: Daala would have taken out a bigger chunk of the New Republic than she did. Maybe kill Kyp in the process *chants: must stop evil thoughts, must stop evil thoughts* Ah, what the heck

And there would have been a better solution to the Solo twins. I just don't know what

Mace: SW is pretty much my only Science Fiction reading as well. Despite my dad's attempts at getting me to read "real science fiction", I remain loyal to Star Wars.

EDIT: Chiss! I just realized I'm in your sig now! Get me out of there! It's filthy

 

Real science fiction!!! SW IS real Science fiction!!!

Tell your dad that!!!

Nice of you to stop by icey, keep coming!!

 

Up....

anyone have news of Zahn's new book like exactly wht month it coming out or something of the sort....

 

You mean Survivor's Quest? I believe it's scheduled for February 2004, but it's hard to say if it goes out at the beginning, or at the end of that month.

 

When does the book take place? I think it would be appropriate for him to write the first post njo book. I think he would do a good job of setting up plot lines that would work for years to come. Look at how well he shaped the EU with the thrawn trilogy.

Wow...he could have 2 of his books released in the same month. Awesome.

 

Survivor's Quest: ZAHN ON BOOK TOUR! Check it out here

*does a dance of joy* If I can get the exact date/time/place of Zahn's tour for SQ then I can maybe be in Portland when he's here! *still dancing* Coming to a city near you? Find out!

(And thanks for the warm welcome, Mace )

 

Feburary...YES!! Thats only about 3 months away!!!!

No Prob Icey....



J. Sat what do you mean two books?? ?

 

uppers

 

Darthmalt16: Survivor's Quest takes place some two or three years after Hand of Thrawn (I don't know the exact timeline, but I believe it corresponds with Junior Jedi Knights series).

 

It is right after union and right before the NJO.
