Tychu there a lot more problems in the NJO series than just that!

I liked some of the NJO books but I hated the fact that Chewie died. And I thought it would have been better to kill off that pussy Jacen than Anakin.

And based on that crappy map, we see that the YV have left the IR alone. And they seem to have massed the bulk of their forces at the front. If the IR and the Chiss attacked, they would cut off the YV from any further reinforcements coming in still.

Any writter contributing to the idiocy which is the NJO should be stoned to death, and George should really take a long hard look at it too! :evil:

I completely agree. I hate Jacen, and I actually liked Anakin Solo. I'm hoping that in Traitor they will actually make Jacen into a character. Maybe he'll become interesting then. Incidentally, I like the writer for that book, so I'm hoping he'll be able to salvage the character IMHO.

Hi guys. ::waves:: I just want to throw in another EU rant. Here goes.

The EU SUCKS ASS!!! God have they just fucked things up. Star Wars?!? This isn't Star Wars. Star Wars doesn't pansy ass around for an entire story or arc and then right at the end, sheild ship a planet, defeat a minor officer that creates a truce (though they did lose the planet), Jedi run and hide and debate on the 'right' thing to do. The starships are a joke. Stutter fire?. Damn, they didn't just do a Force cop out this go around. The did a god damn Star Wars cop out. Basically, everything they do, the YV can counter. However, nothing they do counters the YV. Except for the sheildship shit, the INT dragging a bitch around, basically the Star Trek stuff that happens at the end of the books after they have been severly beaten and they can't come back. Get real. The Lusankya comes back and blasts everyone's ass. THATs Star Wars. Think of this also. Stutter fire, why? To get past the voids. Voids on the skips are sheilds or manuvering. not both. If it shields it stands still. If it moves it has no sheilds. So why stutter fire? The smart thing would be to just go in straight lines. No, the YV move because they are Klingon warriors. Then you don't need stutter fire. I know when they first did the sf the voids could still suck em up while manuvering. However thanks to Allston that's not the case.

Umm, that assumes the Skips dont have more then one void. Logicaly they would have two or more.
