10 Things in the EU I want to know more about

feeds@yuku.com (MrNomAnor) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:42:22 GMT

This thread is designed for those things (characters, events, themes, species, weapons, starships, etc etc) that we read about in the EU that deserve more screen time/explanation/exploration. The things that the authors or game designers, or artists, etc, brought up, but either didn't explain properly, didn't give enough screen time to, have only hinted at, or left us with a multitude of mysteries. These things don't necessarily have to be...

Official Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil spoiler topic

feeds@yuku.com (Iurus) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:22:40 GMT

Since there's already a preview chapter out, I thought I'd run ahead and put this out here.

I'm of two minds as to whether to read this thread, but there's no harm in asking about the preview (which is all I'm likely to get until the ARC is in my hand anyway), so consider yourselves asked.

In Defense of...Chewie's Death

feeds@yuku.com (Dancelittleewok) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:40:30 GMT

Star Wars has not been without controversy even from its beginning, whether it be Luke and Leia's kiss or the destruction of Alderaan. In my column, I will strive to defend its controversy-anything from authors, ideas, or characters-to the best of my ability. My intent is to bring these issues to light and see the rationale behind them.

After my review with my son of Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, the staff and I thought it might be interesting to continue doing a column featuring these kinds of reviews of younger reader Star Wars books. So, starting this week, and alternating Fridays with my 'A Galaxy Not So Far Away' column, I'll be putting out 'A Jedi Like My Father Before Me'. The review this week is

Vector Prime Turns 10

feeds@yuku.com (Acky12) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:07:19 GMT

A mere 10 years ago today, the Star Wars community was rocked by the release of a book that would forever change the landscape of the Star Wars galaxy: Vector Prime by R. A. Salvatore. It was a raucous first foray into the much-loved galaxy by new publisher DelRey. The NJOE News Team, over the next couple of weeks, will be examining some of the choices that were made - for better or worse.

As we celebrate this milestone in the Expanded Universe that not only...

For my full review of No Prisoners, click here. I think the original discussions for this book wound up in the Clone Wars book news thread (or perhaps the Wild Space discussion thread), but that wasn't really the best place for it. So if anyone would like to continue discussions of this book here, now that I've finally read it - I'd love to chat...

New Book Club

Hello fellow NJOEers!
I will be taking over for the book club going forward. I wanted to ask a few questions of anyone who is a member of the forum.
First of all, are you interested in being a member of the book club? This would entail reading a book on a schedule with the other members of the club and taking part in the discussion immediately following the scheduled reading time.
If you are interested, I have two more questions.
1.How long of a time-frame would you...
