Boba Fett Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 I think [I]A Splinter of the Minds Eye[/I] was a ok book. I thought that the battle scene at the end was pretty lousy. Did you know this: The force amplifying crystal turns out to lose its powers the farther it is from the temple. Turns out that the temple was actually what amplified the force...
BabyGirl Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 [color=deeppink]I need to re-read that book. It's been so long since I've read anything but X-wing novels. Truthfully, the X-wing books are all I [i]really[/i] enjoy, since the author basically remains constant (except, of course, the switch between Stackpole and Allston). Bad writing totally ruins a book for me, more than anything else. Characterization is also pretty crucial, but the plot has to be really bad for me to put it down if at least the writing is good.[/color]
Kinetic Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 [color=royalblue] >Still wondering< Still wondering if I would understand [i]NJO Edge of Victory 1[/i] without reading the others in the NJO series? Well? Okay, anyway, I don't know if I wanna start off with NJO (or is it that good) because the first one kills off my favorite character, Chewbacca. Anyway, would I still understand it without reading all the others in NJO? [/color]
Boba Fett Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Aries, I havent read the book, so I dont know. But if I were you I would read the series from the beginning, it is always better that way. ;)
Guest Anakin Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Talking about books (I've totally missed this conversation!), has anyone read the AOTC novel? I liked it a lot.
Boba Fett Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Yeah, we already discussed the AOTC novel. It would have been nice if all the scenes in the book had been in the movie. I found the book very descriptive and a very good read. I thought that the scenes in the book were a lot better thought put and better portrayed in the book then in the movie. In gereral I thought the book was way better than the movie. What did you like about it?

Boba Fett Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Yes I have. That series, while aimed an younger readers, is interesting and worth reading. I particularly like to watch Zek decide his future. He is a very interesting charecter. Lowbacca's translator droid is also very funny :laugh: sounds like C-3PO, dont they have some relation?
BabyGirl Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 [color=deeppink]Speaking of droids, Bollux and Blue Max just came to mind o_O Has anyone read [b]The Han Solo Adventures[/b] trilogy?[/color]
Boba Fett Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Yes! Those two were an odd couple, even more than r2-D2 and C-3PO. I liked it when Max would pop out of Bollux's chest and say rude things. :naughty: [B]The Han Solo Adventures[/B] is a great series. I have the whole series in one book. My favorite book in the series is [B]Han Solo at Stars End[/B]. Although that is when Bollux "met his maker". :(
Yoda Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 [I]I don't know if this has been discussed already, but has anyone read the Bounty Hunter Wars? I think they're very good, really gives you a better insight into why Boba Fett is as good as he is.[/I]
SS Vegeta Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 I have only read the 2nd book in this particular series. I believe it is called Slave Ship. That trick Boba use's at the begining is great.
Boba Fett Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 I read the [B]Bounty Hunter Wars[/B] series and liked it. I thought that it was interesting that Dengar saved Boba from the sarlacc. If I had found Boba there I would have killed him on the spot, competition is bad for business. The most interesting parts of those books for me were the minor concern of the various Black Sun fragments who wanted the droid, who placed Xizor at Luke's uncle's murder scene, back and the Kuat rivalry between the two sisters(I cant remember their names)

Boba Fett Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 What makes it your favorite? I thought that in general the series was well written, but there were better Star Wars books. My favorite series of Star Wars books is the Thrawn Triliogy. I think it is very well written and interesting. My favorite individual book would have to be [B]I, Jedi[/B]. It is an excellent read(most of the people here seem to have read it).
SS Vegeta Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 I was just wondering if anyone here reads Star Wars tales, the comic. I love it! Especially issue #9. Vader vs. Maul, you should really check it out.
Queen Asuka Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Man, you guys, I went to the library last week to get I, Jedi, and I went to the small library branch instead of our big one and EVERY SINGLE SW book was checked out. So I didn't get to get it. By the way, who is the author of that book so that it will be easier for me to find. :)[/color][/size]

Stackpole.[/b] He is honestly one of the best authors [i]ever[/i]...out of all the books I have ever read...ever :excited:[/color]
Boba Fett Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Only [b]the[/b] best Star Wars author ever...[b]Michael A. Stackpole.[/b] [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] I agree with that opinion whole heartedly. Stackpole is the best Star Wars author, there is no competition. Most Star Wars writers are mediocre, some dont deserve to write. *cough* Hanably *cough* Anyway, havent we had this conversation at least three times, about how we all think Satckpole and [B]I, Jedi[/B] are the best? It is getting [I]very[/I] repetitive......
Queen Asuka Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]What else did Stackpole write? Because I think I've read something of his I'm sure. And yes, this thread is very repetitive. It's the same conversations over and over, but I don't really think that anyone really minds. The only people who read it are the SW fans anyway. And by the way, did you know that when George Lucas was writing the first 2 SW movies (Hope and Empire) that he had some guy helping him write most of the script and then that guy left before Jedi because they both had different visions for the movie? This other guy wanted to kill Han Solo off at the end...[/color][/size]
Boba Fett Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I hadnt heard that. Han Solo, killed off? I guess that means that Prince Isolder( I think I spelled it wrong) would have married Leia, ugh. Stakpole wrote the first four or five Rogue Squadron books, I dont remember him writing anything else.....
Mr. Maul Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 I don't read the books aren't the movie. <-----?????? Sorry, I've been out of it for a while working on my SW RPG. I only read the movie books.
Justin Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Stackpole also wrote NJO Dark Tide I: Onslaught and NJO Dark Tid II: Ruin. I believe he also wrote I, Jedi, but I'm sure someone else can confirm that or deny it. -Justin
Guest Matt Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]I believe he also wrote I, Jedi, but I'm sure someone else can confirm that or deny it. -Justin [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red][b]Yes, Stackpole wrote I, Jedi. That was an awesome book. One of the best, if not the best. That and the X-Wing series.[/b][/color]
