|  Indeed...Black Fleet Crisis produced some really good moments, except for anything that Luke and Akannah did in all 3 of the books, b/c we all knew that the "search for Luke's mother" was a dud. Jerry, you telling me you like the "new look"?  I hate it. It's probably the ugliest book cover/color combination that I've ever seen on a SW novel...and that includes the crappy "Children of the Jedi" book cover with the ugly Gammoreans dominating it. __________________ The Dark is generous, and it's patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness; one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

| Elite Fan   | Not at all...hence the "it's done poorly". I'm not saying I don't like the genre, Pop Art has some good work in it, but it doesn't belong on Star Wars. The old covers were great, they should have left them that way. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."

| Want good covers, check out the art work for Coruscant Nights Trilogy. It's simple but elegant. I'm hoping to start on "Mindor" here shortly. __________________ The Dark is generous, and it's patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness; one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

But what was even more pointless was Lando and Lobot's story!!! Lando is a hero of the Rebellion and that's the story he gets  By the 3rd book, Tyrant's Test you just might as well skip all the Lando interludes and you'll get your answer in the last chapter when Luke comes to the rescue. __________________ | |||

| Elite Fan | yeah, but for the longest time, they never knew what to do with Lando. What direction to take him in. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Fan Forum's Finest | That is such BS. Lando was the Baron Administrator of Cloud City and then a General. He could have been part of the Provisional Council or the military. __________________ | |||

| Overall it was a so-so trilogy, nothing great. A few good things but that's about it. __________________ The Dark is generous, and it's patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness; one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

| Elite Fan | yeah, but without that series, we couldn't have had the Yventha vs the Vong....and just see how bad it would get. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Yes, they did get a "token" mention in the NJO Jerry  Well, Coruscant Nights 3rd installment out Jan 26. Darn, I really need to finish the second book! __________________ The Dark is generous, and it's patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness; one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

| Elite Fan | Yeah, but he got that because he helped finance the rebellion.  Alex, yeah, right as they were slaughtered. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Juli, I haven't reach it either. I have a few books to read right now but I expect to be reading the "prequels" to the Legacy series, The Dark Nest Trilogy sometime this summer. So I'll take it from there. Since I'm not going to be reading/buying this fate of the jedi series, there is really no rush on my end anymore to be "caught up". __________________ The Dark is generous, and it's patient, and it always wins - but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness; one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
