Apparently my memory is not cooperating with me. I just looked it up and it was a statue of the Emperor. I swear I had read somewhere it was Xizor....anway, apparently an action figure of xizor (among others) was used as a prop for the background spectators of the pod race in Episode 1. I'm going to be quiet now as to not spread any more mis-information ![]() |

![]() Sure hope that doesn't mean I won't be able to buy any new SW e-books, though. Considering the fact they're pretty much the only e-books I buy/read! (I'm mainly a fanfiction reader.) edited to add: Well, that doesn't look too good for me, then. I pre-ordered Ascension (the next FotJ novel) back in January, too, and that one is still in my orders list, but when I go to the Kindle store, I cannot buy it. So maybe that order will be okay, like with Conviction, but any future book released after Ascension could be a serious problem. And to think, the main reason I bought a Kindle and not one of the many e-books readers available in my home country (Holland) is because I'd have access to the new SW novels. Geez.

But I did not know that Agency pricing impacted availability. I thought it only affected price. How's that work? |

since it's about SW books - I never read a single one. Yesterday tried to find the Thrawn trilogy anywhere (not interested in torrents or whatever it is, guessing illegal) anyhow, with which book do I start? there are gazillions of them
![]() Will thrawn trilogy do for starters? |

You know, I didn't realize until you put them in the same sentence how big a role Star Wars has played in my SF tastes over the past few decades.
I just realized that Foster is one of my least favorite SF writers, and Daley is one of my most favorite. I first came to dislike Foster because of the original novelization of Star Wars, and I first came to like Daley because of the Star Wars radio plays. ApK |

I agree. I think the only question is when.
Some would say it was right after Thrawn. Others might say it wasn't until the special crossover story, where Han and Fonzie waterskied over the....no, wait...I'm still writing that one. Seriously, as I said I am decades behind, but I feel they jumped when they started coming out too fast for me to keep up with them. Are there any particular gems among the most recent novels? (in other words, we know where to start reading...where should we stop? ![]() ApK Last edited by ApK; 06-06-2011 at 04:21 PM. |
