Posts: 4993 04/30/09 12:18 PM	That's right, Omen is ready to start my traditional "holy shit"-fest. Iurus and NJOE are not responsible for over-excitable hearts, confusion caused my peering into my brain, or other side effects that may occur from reading this Dician's back And Ship! Oooh... I bet Ship is going to serve the Lost Tribal Sith Jysella's Real and She's Alive! And she has an AGE too! asn't that guy a Gamorrean in the excerpt? Hm... all this talk about Aing-Tii fight-sight (battle-sight?) on the forums... could that be what Jysella's experiencing? I was attributing the Force powers thing to coincidence... are they actually relevant? Sith Padawans! I was right! Ship is here! Finally It gets a real master! Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

I'm glad you've gotten it Iurus - judging from your reactions to the early chapters, I think you're really going to enjoy Omen. The more people read this, the more I'm feeling justified that it won't be just me who really likes Omen. Not that I care if other people agree with me - but I hate to gush over a book and have other people hate it. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

I think it's easier to enjoy when I'm not rushing to read it before work, as I like it much better today than I did yesterday. And X, you waited that long? I could have sworn she was mentioned at some point before that... then again, I thought Valin and Jysella were both mentioned in I, Jedi, before they were born. Hm... so there's a connection between this fight-sight and flow-walking? Explains why it's a unique Aing-Tii ability. I guess that means I know who we investigate in this novel! I hope I remember what I lost when I accidentally closed the window... An Aing-Tii kid? Do they make those? I wonder what they're like. The banter... it's drawing on the edge between campy enjoyment and over-the-top. Let's see where it lands. "I'm sixteen. Of course I'm hungry." I'm about to hear what an Aing-Tii looks like! It's a Tyranno-flippin-saurus! I wonder if Anakin was this familiar when he was being trained by Obi-Wan? One or BOTH might be elevated SOON! Oh I can't wait until NJOE reads this. Or... they're just dangling this over our heads to keep us reading. I'm more amazed the more I learn about this culture. The Tribe has truly developed a completely unique society, for Sith... I can't wait to read more! Five thousand years... decades (perhaps) after the Great Hyperspace War, centuries before Exar Kun's Sith Brotherhood... must I speak as to its significance? Carved and Curved? To scoff at the overly similar names, or to wonder about the aforementioned curves, that is the question. He's trying to eavesdrop on a Solo! In public! I need a smiley to do that high-class laugh That Guy With the Glasses Does. So silly of him. Lots of Ortolans in this novel... Wonder what's the attraction for Miss Golden? needs a beard-stroking smiley O, what I would have given to allow Jaina to see the look on his face as well I can't wait to see Rouge try to put a spin on this conversation Actually, I think I know exactly what he's going to say I wish Iron was here right now I wonder what feels like in the Force? They're finally landing on Tralfamadore... that is where we're going, right? Sith training! Yes! This scene makes Omen > Outcast+LotF+DN 43V3R! If only Jacen were here... wait, how does that work? Why is nobody calling Kenth? Does anybody ever learn? Celebrate? Positive note? He's NOT He IS! They ARE! I better get invited to the wedding. A golden pyra... tell me it's a Sith holocron! Oh pleeeeease tell me it's a Sith holocron. A new Sith Empire! That's even better than a Sith holocron! Almost So, um, where's Darth Krayt while all this is going on? Can Luke flow walk? They never tell us? Holy shit Luke can teleport. Allana's gonna get a baby Nexu! You mentioned Threepio... where is he? As a matter of fact... where is Artoo Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Posts: 2107 05/01/09 7:51 AM	Hmm, from those scenes with Luke and Ben I actually made the assumption that Luke could flow walk - he just doesn't. I don't really remember the droids being in Omen, maybe a scene in Leia/Han's apartment? Perhaps I just need to wave my hand and say "These are not the droids you're looking for" and we'll move on. I assume the same as corax - Krayt is in stasis, and has been even during LotF. If I were to take this a step further and incorporate Nom's assertion - I believe Cronal (or whomever White Eyes is) is filling in as head of the One Sith while Krayt is in stasis. And I'm sure he'll remain in stasis until Legacy, or close to the beginning of that comic. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Posts: 2737 05/01/09 11:59 AM	Is it wrong of me to be okay with her arrest? looks around I think I am one of the few that doesn't care what happens to her...

Posts: 2118 05/01/09 12:08 PM	Well, I love Tahiri, but I think think this is a great turn of events for her character. It means for sure she will have more to do in upcoming novels. So I wasn't annoyed by it - I was thrilled. I do care what happens to her, in the sense that I want more than what I got in LotF, and I'd like to see her get to a better place than I think she's in now (which is -granted- an improvment from where she was in LotF as Caedus' apprentice). I want to see her as a founding member of the Imperial Knights, which I'm hoping has more to do with Jag's comment about not being able to forgive (which Boba used in his Omen review thread, and I feel like I can't comment on) than any future argument between Jag and Jaina. I think it would be more telling to have Jag forgive Tahiri, and for Jaina to see that Jag is capable of doing that. I don't really need these two fighting when they've just gotten together. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

Posts: 1738 05/01/09 1:44 PM	That's an excellent point about Jag and Jaina and I do hope to see Tahiri as a founding member of the IKs as well. In regards to what Iurus said, do you mean in the real world? Cuz legally you can, Tahiri was a member of the military before she was a bounty hunter and any/all crimes she committed before she become a bounty hunter can still be tried. But what I don't understand is how Daala and the GA have a leg to stand on legally considering Jacen/Caedus was acting co-CoS.

Posts: 5011 05/02/09 12:23 AM	I'm not annoyed at her arrest per se, it's just one of the things that's been bothering me. Arresting Jedi. Really? I seem to recall the Dark Jedi of the Week requiring a Jedi Master to break off a mission and hunt them down. Arresting bounty hunters? The Empire arrested anybody with a big enough pistol, but bounty hunters were well known to walk around with rocket launchers and frags, untouchable. I think Daala's risking a lot of people on the presumed innocence of Jedi and former Jedi. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Posts: 9813 06/23/09 7:13 PM	Can I just say I hate you all for making me break my Anti-Spoiler Spoilers = Lucifer walking the Earth theory and on the other hand, I totally endorse the propogation and usage of this thread. Bonus massive epic kewlness points for use of LOLcats, O RLY? birds and this: Lots of Ortolans in this novel and this: Allana's gonna get a baby Nexu! I don't know what it means, but Waru's scale pus, it sounds so goddamn awesome I think I just fangasmed even though I have no context for it.

Just imagine the reactions of Han and Threepio. It will be gloriousness with a pinch of SIDE-SPLITTING LAUGHTER.

How do you tame a baby Nexu? Seems like they'd have to hire a full-time trainer just so that it wouldn't shred them all to tiny pieces when it started teething...
