    C'Boath didn't do the cloning that was Thrawn. C'Boath just help fake Coruscant into thinking thier planetary shield was useless.

    Actually who did make Luuke (I love how they do the clone names)?

    Damn I really forget all that stuff. I'll have to reread those books. At any rate yes the Thrawn trilogy is the best.

    The book between Empire and Jedi is Shadow of the Empire. I personally didn't like the Xwing series as much as the rest of the books. Also read the Han Solo books, those are pretty cool.

      That sounds pretty right.

      I've read all of them except the ones written for kids and some of the graphic novels. Some are better than others. The X-Wing series wasn't bad - or at least some of them were pretty good (Kevin Anderson's not bad) and some of the details were important. None of them compare to Zahn's work!

        It was C'Boath who ordered the cloning of Luke, using his hand from the Baspin incident as the template. Believe me, I'm right. I have a photographic memory where books are concerned. Don't make me quote the passage!

          The first 6?!? If you start reading the X Wing series, you really should read all 9 of them (the last one is 'Starfighters Of Adumar'). I found that whole series to be very good. Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, and Timothy Zahn did an excellent job.

            Zahn is the man, he is a king among dorks.

            Memnock all you had to say was Joruus did it. I wasn't plannig on making any one quote anything, but if you feel it needs to be done then quote away.

                I didn't mean to imply not to read them all - but I think the first 6 or 7
                are chonologically in order, then there are some other books
                that come in there and the remaining ones fill in later.

                You have to look at the time line at that point.

                But you're right, they're all good books!

                  Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. Which X wing series book did you like the best? I'm having a hard time deciding between Wraith Squardon, and Isard's Revenge.

                        From my limited knowledge i'd have to say Exar Kun was the most powerful. Although he was defeated.

                          Most powerful Sith? I don't know. Palpatine was really powerful in his hayday! He was controlling thousands of battle cruisers spread across the
                          galaxy for coordinated attacks - Exar Kun was pretty powerful, but I'd have a hard time saying which was MORE powerful.

                          Why do you think it was Kun?

                            As an asside, if you look at how Exar Kun bacame Dark Lord of the Sith, it has a strong parallel to what I suspect will happen to Anakin Skywalker in Episode III. Every bone in his body is smashed and he is dying and the only way to save himself is to call upon the Dark Side. Later he uses the Dark Side to destroy the spirit of Freedon Nadd, and finally the spirit of Marka Ragnos - Sith Lord before Naga Sadow - makes him Dark Lord.
