How can so many people not know what a sith is. Bah. Only a true geek knows what a sith is. There are to many geek pretenders in here.
I'm such a geek too. There are just not enough of us around where I live. There don't seem to be enough on here either. As Geeks we need to all develop our Jedi abilities and take over the world.
I did not know Jaina was an x-wing fighter. I haven't read any of the children of the jedi books. Corran was not a Jedi when he joined and only really became a jedi to save his wife. He just had manipulation over the force, there's a big difference. Luke was an x-wing fighter but when he became a true Jedi he devoted his life to doing that.
Jaina became a Jedi and a x-wing pilot in the New Jedi Order Series. There are actually a few Jedi who have become x-wing pilots. At the beginning of the New Jedi Order series there are actually a lot of Jedi and many have taken different paths. I'm a complete Star Wars geek. :) I hope I didn't ruin anything if you are in the midst of reading some of the books.
No. I've read all the post-Return of the Jedi Books up to the New Republic. I never really looked into any of the other series, I couldn't find which book is first and I like reading in order.
oh ok. Have you read the Thrawn Trilogy and Courtship?
Of course..I've read everything between Jedi and Republic.
When you say Jedi and Republic do you mean everything before the New Jedi Order series?
Um..yes. I think that's what I mean. I've read:
Truce at Bakara
Courtship of Princess Leia
X-wing series (all 9)
Jedi Academy series
another set of three that has Shielf of Lies in it
Corellian Trilogy book
Darksaber
Crystal Star
New Republic
..um I think there's more.
Ah good. My favorite books thus far is the Timothy Zahn series. He is such a great author. His Thrawn trilogy in my humble opinion is the best set of books you can read about Star Wars.
I totally agree.
Absolutely.
Yes, out of all those authors he is without doubt the best. What are the titles of the Thrawn series books? I know who Thrawn is but I have this feeling that I somewhere missed a book or two about him.
1) Heir to the Empire
2) Dark Force Rising
3) ...I don't remember, it will come back to me.
There's another triology involving earlier in his carreer too I beleive. Not sure of the name of those, haven't read them.
Book one is Heir to the Empire
Book 2 is Dark Force Rising
Book 3 The last command
They are the first books that mention Mara Jade(great character)and also Talon Karrde.
Oh oh I LOVE those! Yep, those are definetly my favorite. Talon Karrade and Mara Jade are great characters (though I heard they ruin Mara later by making her a Jedi even though earlier she never had enough potential or desire to become one. ANd then she marries Luke!? He's in love with that ghost jedi girl!)
lol. Yeah that does happen but I don't think it was that bad. A lot of things happen to cause it. Yeah they go from a total hate relationship to a total love one and get married a little strange I must agree.
She had plenty of potential, after all she was being trained by the Emporer himself.
But she wasn't trained as a Sith by the Emperor. He trained a very little bit of her power in the force, but that wasn't her main job.
Yeah she was trained to be one of his speical operatives that reported only to him and that was through the force. She wasn't trained in the same manor as Darth Vador her training involved a lot more than just learning to use the force.
Had Vader lived and ROTJ not happaned, she could have messed Vader up!
Hehe, that's my theory though. :)
No she couldn't have taken Vader she wasn't trained well enough in the force to do that. Though there are theories that she may have been one of those guards dressed all in red in ROTJ.
dude. that's such crap. she was the one of the dancers in jabba's palace. i highly doubt she could have made it from jabba's palace to the half-built death star faster than luke or anyone else.
Nah, I mean if Vader would have lived and time went on. Time goes on she could have been fully trained by the emporer was, just as Vader was.
And she couldn't have been an imperial guard. Cause in SWG the Imperial Guards are protecting the Emporer but you meet her elsewhere in the game. :P
I actually have 2 sets of the trilogy. One in horrible condition and one in great condition. The on is from when they first came out and the other one a friend gave me so they hven't even been touched. They are both complete opposites.
If my incessant questioning ever starts to get annoying just let me know and I'll stop. :)
Doesn't bother me..I love talking star wars and there aren't enough people to do it with.
I know what you mean. I know a lot of people that kind of like Star Wars but noone who has ever really read to many of the books. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who's aread a lot of the books. :)
I'm such a fan of books. I've read most of the star wars books at least 3 times each. Love love books!!
NICE!! I've only read most of them once thought th Zahn series I have read 3 times. I still remember when they first came out. I was at the bookstore and saw them and got so excited I dragged my mom over and was begging her to by them for me.
