ADDICTION NON-FATAL
As I said that this announcement had everything to with marketing-retread, reused, and refurbished movies! Just another marketing ploy to suck money out of us fans! Besides, we already knew about the release of these months ago. And this was the big news? Whatever!

@bawnian-dexeus - afraid I can't help you there. Stumped on a Star Wars trivia question? ME? The force is not strong with me, I fear.

@bawnian-dexeus ah heck i dont know but that sounds absolutly brilliant. I have not read many SW comics but plenty of novels. Although after reading Dark Empire 1 and 2 i am considering looking thru more of the SW comics catalogue.

@skywise is it supposed to be? All I know after that is that Vader is walking on one of the star ships and a bomb goes off. Vader uses his saber to blast a window open and jumps across in open space to another star ship or something like it.

@bawnian-dexeus If/when you read them please get back to me and tell me what you think. I have recently been considering re-reading them myself. The Timothy Zahn novels are the books that really kicked off the SW book collection and to this day they are still among the best.

@ejk1 - to be honest, I like clone wars better than Ep 1 and 2 combined :P

@bawnian-dexeus have you read the Timothy Zahn novels? if you have not they are a MUST. In fact, if they were going to adapt any game/novel that is the one i would want most. Admiral Thrawn is one awesome villin and a po;ar opposite to Vader. His people dont follow him because they fear him, they follow him because love him.
READ THEM. Also if you havnt read the Dark Empire graphic novels (2 volumes) do so immediatly. It is outstanding.

@bawnian-dexeus The son of Han and Leia. He turns all Sithy.
@diaigma I don't hate them for the most part, just hate the fact that Lucas is preoccupied with filling the time between eps 2 and 3 when he could be creating more beyond ep 6.

Diaigma
I still don't get the prequel hate. It works. Besides, for the sake of following an epic story arc, you don't want Ep I to be better than Ep 5. Watch them all in sequence and it gets progressively better, like any story would. In this case, strung out :P

@ejk1 @narrator Ok, I'll bite. Who's Jacen?

@narrator I'll take anything that moves the damn story forward. I don't care how much people like the CLone Wars, it means nothing. We know the end result of everything in it; he's just wasting everyone's time.

The Narrator: The Better Man
@ejk1, dude... that'd be epic, and more than plausible, seeing as how the actors have aged enough to fill the roles of their characters at that time and place. Jacen is my second favorite Sith Lord, only trumped by Darth Revan. A trilogy focusing on the New Republic would be sick, given a new hand behind the wheel.
