I did like the New Jedi Knights series but to be honest it’s a junior novel series and I haven’t read them since the last volume was published by the Science Fiction Book Club, I have the hardback for.
That was why it was so disastrous to change Jacen’s character so much. Unlike others I never liked Caedus, I hated him.
I agreed with everything Han said about his burning the Wookiee homeworld and how he wasn’t his son.
I hate what they did with Jacen too. He shouldn’t have fallen to the Dark Side, that’s completely unrealistic for him. Troy Denning just didn’t understand his character. In fact, in my personal head-canon the Star Wars universe ends with The Unifying Force, which means that Jacen never falls. The NJO feels like the natural ending point of the post-ROTJ era to me. And if not, then there’s still the Young Jedi Knights series, which can be a good epilogue too, indeed.
