I wouldnt bet your house on it.

This is usually when the Star Wars Rollercoaster has reached it's peak and we all know what happens when the rollercoaster gets to the top...

I know, I know, but I am in the minority as I've generally enjoyed all of the new content they have made.

I read and enjoyed all of the Timothy Zahn books as they were released in high school, so that probably explains my bias towards liking the content more than most.

Ditto and I sympathize, the Zahn trilogy had some warts, but it also introduced some really interesting characters and themes, they should never have booted it out of canon.

From a Star Wars perspective....if someone offers you an interesting story? You TAKE IT!!!

I really liked the Zahn novels and remember that they jump started what was a dead IP in Star Wars.


Its funny going back and reading it, and Zahn kind of created his own definitions of the Clone Wars that was actually on the verge of Insanity. Also those books introduced some really good long lasting strong EU characters.

I always wanted to read Outbound Flight which iirc was Zahn's attempt to massage the Katana Fleet stuff with the Prequels. But never got around to it.

After watching the first couple episodes three times in the last few years I finally gave this show a legitimate shot. Up to season one episode four now. I’m really liking it.
