Are you serious? Geez! I hated the part where Chewie died, but damn! You won't see me sending death threats to anyone over a freakin novel! (albiet, a damn good one. You gotta admit that its kinda badass for Chewie, for after all he's been through, to be taken out by a fucking moon. ) Hell, I wonder how many death threats Tory Denning got over Anakin's death in Star by Star.

There is a difference. He RAS killed of a GL creation and Anakin was only some EU character.

True, but Anakin is a Solo. That alone gave him character shields of epic proportions. To be honest, I rather liked Anakin. Its Jacen I wanted to get killed. Little twerp whined to damn much! He whined more than Luke in ANH and Anakin in AOTC combined in the NJO books (though not so much in Traitor, but I'll leave those details out)!

They would probably make some more movies, but they would have no continuity with the other movies, there would be a lot of technobabble, an entire movie would deal with an ISD almost blowing up, the enemy ships would be organic, all the characters would be out of character, the villians would be s from ST movies, and nanobots would destroy the Star.

Hmmm this seems familiar, they could call it NJO.
Skywalker makes Picard look like a brutal monster and the Jedi ARE all weenies either that or Vaders in training.
Nooooo! You LIE! IT IS NOT TRUE!!!

If you want to make it more like NJO, substitute the Jedi for godlike beings because none are observed in the SW movies. Perhaps you can make a movie about it, and make it so inconsistent, the peple playing the characters don't even sound like what they did in the OT.

KJA has been pushing for years to get a Saturday morning TV show made of his Young Jedi Knights era.
Well, if B&B acquire SW they might as well accomodate KJA dream..........
So every Saturday morning we'll see a Young Jedi series based on KJA novels and produced & written by B&B. Now, anyone care to watch that?
Hmmmm, I thin I actually thought of something good that could come out of
B & B making a SW television show.
Natalie Portman in lots of shower/decon scenes (ala Enterprise). At least then the show might be worth taping so you could fast foward to the good parts and then s l o w f r a m e advance and pause and....nevermind.

Young Jedi Knights, and the thought of those 3 scourges of the galaxy banding together nearly made me piss myself.
Let's not forget Stackpole's X-wing novels while I'm at it. I happen to like the X-wing series of games. I'm capable, however, of recognizing that they're *games* and that the capitol ships are weak in them so everyone playing can live out their fantasy of blowing up a Star Destroyer all by themselves. Hence the "towers on the Star Destroyer bridge = shield generators" thing, which was only done to make blowing one up possible with fighters. I'd say it's a good candidate for the "brain bugs" page, it seems to be taking on a life of it's own.
