I found LOTF underwhelming to say the least... That whole arc was a disappointment. Remember when Jaina trained with Boba instead of Luke and Ben because she thought his experience, and style in fighting force wielders would give her the edge over he brother? The same brother who her uncle, and cousin had firsthand experience with his exotic force techniques? Good times. Plus they killed Mara Jade... I understand Lucas' wish to keep everything under control, but to move from Zahn to a whole bunch of writers was not his best decision. IMO Zahn is excellent when writing SW.

One of the later EU books. Jacen Solo went dark side, became Darth Caedus, killed Mara, and kidnapped/tortured Luke's son Ben. Even after all that, Luke didn't give up.

Oh. Right. I thought in the new canon they decided to add her and kill her off before she had the chance to do anything.

*SNIFF* Man I don't know what it is. I mean I *know* that other companies tend to put these trailers together but there is just something about JJ movies that I have seen and watched the trailers for, Episode 7, Into Darkness, and now Episode 9...I mean that trailer was almost worth the price of admission by itself. I actually teared up. I am now beyond stoked for this movie and between this and Crisis on Infinite Earths December is going to be lit...and sad. I mean my God what a trailer! Yeah, it's an awesome trailer. A pity the final product isn't going to hold a candle to it. maybe, maybe not. But JJs movies usually match the trailer quality to.

They killed Mara Jade in that series... P.S. That's why, in good conscience, I cannot say EU's treatment of this character was better.

Honestly never really got into the Star Wars books aside from the NJO stuff, which I only finished because Episode 7 was going to 'wipe it form cannon'. But I did highly enjoy the NJO stuff...for the most part...and kinda hope they make the Yuuzhan Vong cannon and we'll see them in a movie or tv show at some point.
But yes, ultimatley there is good Star Wars and bad Star Wars, there have been times when the series has been a testement to story telling and cinematic awesomness (Return of the Jedi) and times that it has fallen flat on its face into a carbonite chute (The Force Unleashed)...and everything in between those two poles. The EU certainly wasn't immune to that.

Kevin J Anderson's stuff was also pretty good.
