ZAHN another guy I liked from D&D books is okay, but I am far and away a fan of TRAVISS as she takes a good bit of time developing not only some smaller characters, but trying to establish a link to the readers. It feels that there is the huge rush to "resolve" something, but I like the slow approach and building the characters up and letting the mythology develop. BEsides it makes sense from a marketing perspective, selling more over time and letting talented authors blossom these characters in exile.
]]>i like that guy, he's from the KotOR comics. plus, he's got a cool first name.
]]>Bane-Malar
weapon choice...slug thrower FTW

anybody ever heard of this guy?he sounds like a cool character.
Ok i totaly agree, but, maby the mega trees dont happen near lakes? hmm? maby their further inland and its like a tree-valley.
Nonetheless, it's still like staging a battle on Coruscants ice caps. Or a desert on Yavin 4. You just don't get what the planet is really like, which especially sucks when the core concept is as great as Kashyyk.
]]>Even Kashyyk was just another new planet with a preused name slapped on it. Where are the kilometers-high trees? The bottomless forests?
*finds something to stab George's creative team with*

]]>I wasn't too fond of the whole Alema Rar/Killick/Joiner thing that Denning did. He kinda twisted the characters' future paths too much, I'd say.
]]>Part of the reason Episode 3 bugs me, making up six new planets to stage Clone Wars battles on when using preestablished worlds would've made us geeks shiver with awe.

i think that starwars should have a governing body(much like the catholic church, with religion) that tells the authors that this story need to involve the following characters etc. thats why i think stories like "shadows of the empire" resinate with me, because of the characters i know and love with the integration of a few new antagonists etc.
i realize the universe is larger than the core movie cast, i just wish there was more of a familiar feel to alot of the material, oh and how many one time planets r there?
]]>? sorry ive never read any of his work. I read about 2 chapters of one of his books and immediatly didnt like him. What did he do with Joiners?
He basically effed up most of the younger Jedi by having them spend some time in a Killik hive or whatever, where non-Killiks eventually become Joiners who are part of the hive-mind and behave like insects themselves.
What's worse is that he made Jaina and Zek "mind-meld" or something where they think each other's thoughts and are basically one person. That refers to itself as "we" and rubs it's forearms with other Joiners acting like some retarded bug-thing.
Lesse...Jaina, Zek, Lowie, and Tahiri are the ones I remember being affected, though I know it was more. Lowie's useless, but the rest already had great potential for further character development, specially Tahiri with her half-Vong personality.
But no. That's gone now.
Apparently, it's irreversible. Thank you very much Denning.
