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.

Sounds like Labyrinth of Evil or The Approaching Storm, probably the latter. There's a few schlocky ones set in that time period, I don't think the prequel trilogy resulted in anyones best work.

What's the general take on the Tales from Jabba Palace/Mo's Eisley Cantina/a third one I can't remember.

I enjoyed them especially the way they built upon stories often with ery different story telling styles and fleshed out characters that were largely just window dressing.

Tales of the Bounty Hunters is the third (and best) one: Boba; Dengar; 4-LOM; IG88; Bossk

I also really liked the Biba Fett trilogy: Hard Merchandise, etc.

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

Mace Windu gives it a shout out in the opening scene in Palpy's office "That's possible, he's just returned from a mission on Ansion."

Man, of all the books you could have tried out, what a ****ty choice!

I was 20 or 21 and was certain Lucas was going to right the wrongs of The Phantom Menace with Attack of the Clones. It was going to be darker and more action-packed, with no annoying little kid and a lot less Jar-Jar. In short, it was going to be AWESOME. I was also updating the Episode II "scriptment" for theforce.net at the time, so, in my anticipation, and wanting to have has much background/context as possible, I read what was billed as the Attack of the Clones "prequel," The Approaching Storm. A sh*tty choice indeed. On multiple levels.

If I remember correctly, Obi-Wan was the one who sang, and Anakin did some interpretive force dance with his lightsaber floating and swirling around.

That actually is the most memorable part of that entire book, and I had forgotten it until just now

Dude. Literally the worst book to be your first.

You gotta read Lords of the Sith to get that taste out of your mouth. A great Vader story.

Yeah, I think you are right. That was definitely a bad book.

So glad I stopped reading new EU books right about the time Episode I came out / New Jedi Order started

Years later I did read NJO and some of Zahn's later books (I think Anakin and Obi-Wan have a small appearance in Outbound Flight as I recall)

I see the problem. The author is Alan Dean Foster. I thought he had died 20 years ago.

He also wrote Splinter of a Mind's Eye which is probably the most famous of the early Star Wars novels. It's f'ing trash as well.

WOAH! Hayden getting some more love is awesome! the fight itself starts around the 3 minute mark but so awesome to see this....gets me excited for what could possibly be coming with him in Obiwan

Brilliant.

Never mind I'm an idiot.

Star Wars announced an f-ing Obi-Wan comic book for May and for a split second I thought they were announcing the show for May. It's like they're purposely screwing with us at this point.

I have no idea what this means.

Ditto.

Someone check to see if his CO detector is working. I think his furnace has a crack in the exchanger.

Lot here, but thought this was interesting. Graphic that shows how George Lucas and his companies, have impacted the film industry.

Love that this chart highlights George Lucas, @skywalkersound, and @ILMVFX’s oft-overshadowed technological innovations, like the motion-control camera, go motion, animatics, THX sound, CG animation, non-linear video editing, etc, alongside the masterful storytelling.#StarWars pic.twitter.com/2CFMlElYa5

Yeah, Moon Knight really screwed a potential May the 4th premiere. That said, the 25th does make a lot of sense. Not only for the reason you mention, but Memorial Day Weekend begins two days later - making for a big, summer holiday release - and Star Wars Celebration is the 26th through the 29th, so they could have all kinds of Obi-Wan panels, premiere events, etc that same weekend.

Lot of people starting to run the Obi-Wan in May story, but still nothing official right?

Still, where there's smoke, there's fire.

I called for a trailer as soon as Boba Fett ends. Fingers crossed.
