Books?


Has anyone here read any of the books/novelizations? I'm thinking of starting... I just recently bought "Omen" and "Jedi Trial" because they were only $2 at a book-sale. Are either of them good? Do I need to read the books in chronological order?

I lucked out and found the original novel's for free at the library in high school. Quite a read.

Alright, good to know.

I think "Omen" diverges from canon, though. I believe it said something about Luke's nephew Jacen turning Dark... Not sure if that's just giving Ben/Kylo a different name or if he's a completely different character. I'll probably need to go back a few books to find out. XD

Oh, and btw, I hope to start the role-play when we get one more person... but if that takes over a week from when you joined, maybe we'll just start with the two of us if that's okay with you.

I think they made a new character up and didn't realize the mistake. I don't see how one could get jacen from Kilo unless it's a nickname.

Up to you. I'll wait but if you want to start early that is fine.

Haha. I can just see that happening.
Screenplay writer: I know! We'll have Leia's son go dark! His name shall be Ben, then Kylo Ren!
*months/years into production*
Fan: Uh... Leia's son is Jacen...
Movie crew: *everyone looks accusingly at each other*
Screenplay writer: *facepalm* I knew I should have read the Extended Universe before signing up for this!


And we'll see what happens. Hopefully someone else will join soon.

Lol, I like your scenario. Writers need a crash course in star wars.
