Exactly! Couldn't be clearer!

What are we some sort of suicide squad?

Those books ranged from instant classics to "I don't believe this author has seen 1 second of any Star Wars movie ever." It was a really frustrating time. Definitely no overall structure, almost like comic books, where you just found a new author who had half an idea "Killer bugs!" "Aliens who are immune to the Force!" "Han Solo's identical cousin!" and let them fire away

Zahn was almost always the best. Even his books that weren't that great of a story were really well written and understood the dynamic of needing the original characters to act like themselves and bring in new characters that were just as real. The sheer amount of fan favorites he created is staggering.

I really like those books, but they were written so divergently by the authors. They took a lot of bold steps though, particularly killing Anakin Solo and Chewbacca, and going all in on Vergere and Zonama Sekot. I always like that this was the first real incarnation of seeing a Jedi (Luke) with two lightsabers, something that they then brough to the screen with Anakin's brief duel with Dooku in AOTC.

The fact that the whole thing also starts with Mara already infected by Nom Amor made it hard to tell what was going on.

When I finally decided to start reading the expanded universe I did a little research on where to start after the Thrawn trilogy. The general feeling I got from various internet sources was that the new jedi order was a total mess. I skipped every single one of those.

You chose poorly.

I read the first New Jedi Order because I was a huge fan of RA Salvatore at the time and he wrote that one. As it progressed further, I lost interest and never finished all the books. I would pick one up at the bookstore, flip through it and just not see anything worth buying. It didn't help that they were cranking them out from various authors that didn't seem to have any cohesive story line to follow.

Most of that series of books was pretty poorly written, but I think it was worth a read overall. Some of the plot points were pretty neat and creative.

IMO Traitor by Matthew Stover is in the discussion for best Star Wars novel.

I enjoyed the Yuzzhan Vong series a lot; it was weird and gave the Jedi a rival...

Was NJO the one where Jason goes Dark Side?

What was the series like 30 years ABY where Luke has and his son go galavanting throughout the Galaxy looking for force relics?

Sigh.

If you guessed I was in the lovely city of Vancouver (a/k/a "Hollywood North") congratulations! You are a proud winner of a coveted no-prize! Turns out that #MarksMysteryChallenge is not much of a mystery OR very challenging. The good news is it'll all be over day after tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/Az2C25exQm

Just his Mike Flanagan project that started filming. You knew what you were doing, Mark.

(Still very excited for any and all Flanagan projects.)

Wait! Hold up…..

Yes! There's more to this!

On that sign, if you take away the "V" and "A"….then take away some more letters….then add some letters….you get "Boba Fett *****es"!

It's on like bing bong!!

#1 was the follow up to NJO called Legacy of the Force and #2 was the follow up to Legacy called Fate of the Jedi.

Thanks ; got it

How far did fate of the Jedi go? I feel like Disney bought Star Wars early in that series.

Legacy was awesome, though.

That fembot looks kinda like Jocasta

So good.

Did TC make you put those plot points in Spoiler tag?

I'm good. I've read exactly one EU Star Wars book - whichever one came out just before AOTC, about Obi-Wan and Anakin on some adventure - it was terrible, and I doubt I ever read another again.

That was probably the one where Anakin sang a song as a gift to the people they were staying with on the planet, definitely not a good one to start with.

Traitor and The Unifying Force are two of my top favorite SW novels.

Literally all I remember is, like, some kind of wheat on the cover? That's it. They were on a planet that grew Star Wars wheat. Or something. But yeah, that sounds about right.

The Approaching Storm. That was the one. And there's the wheat!
