STAR WARS ebook discussion & comments

[timothy]

well I don't know if there is a thread for this or not . I did'nt find one so here we go .

It looks like by august 17 every single star wars adult books
will be aviable for kindles and NOOKS so I am a very very happy man . I just wished they would also do the young adult novels as well .


currently picked up star wars old republic deceived :

takes place after the sacking of coursant

 

[OmahaStar]

Can someone translate whatever that is up there into English, please?

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Apparently, many of the Star Wars EU novels are going to be made available in electronic book format for Kindles and Nooks.

 

[SpeedRacer]

If they were still making Star Wars: X-wing books, I might be interested in this.

Coruscant gets sacked so often, they should change its name to Quarterback.

 

[timothy]

they might be coming out with a wriath squadrun novel coming out in the near future.
Have you read the graphic novels yet ? (I believe they are set before the books)

 

[SpeedRacer]

I've read The Phantom Affair and Battleground: Tattooine. They were pretty good; I want to pick up the rest of the X-wing graphic novels/comics.

 

[Admiral James Kirk]

I believe there are two omnibus volumes of the X-Wing comic series that contain the entire comics run.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

"Star Wars adult book" sounds more interesting than it actually is.

Courscant seems to get sacked every few years in the novels. You'd think by now the New Republic/Galactic Alliance would have mustered better defenses. I do have a question since I've not been reading the most recent novel series (gave up on it after the first book) have we had a recent count about how many Jedi there are in the New Order?

 

[Whofan]

The remaining X-wing TPBs are among the best Star Wars comic works-and they really start to introduce characters who are important to later novels and comics after the Tatooine arc.

 

[Jono]

they might be coming out with a wriath squadrun novel coming out in the near future.

It's still untitled but it is due out middle of next year (2012).

As many as there are shuttlecraft on Voyager.

Another thing that seems to happen a lot is the Jedi getting wiped out (with some exceptions), before and after the events of the films. Kind of ruins the impact of the films that way. You'd think the book/game/comic writers would think of something a bit more original. Even the NJO, which had a weird alien enemy and new force philosophies, fell back on the same old tropes.
