Originally posted by: AnchorheadThat's it for me also. Although, I've always been tempted to read Splinter Of The Mind's Eye. It was a really big deal when I was a kid. There was only Star Wars. Suddenly, there was a Star Wars book - something else from that world! The younger fans on here have no idea what that was like for us. There wasn't media saturation\internet\global connectivity\downloading\fan sites\official websites\forums\etc,etc. We had a film - that's it. When that book came out, it was a big deal.

Seems so inocent now.


Even when the Thrawn trilogy came out, it was a big deal. The Thrawn Trilogy was the first thing Star Wars to come out in years. It was great. Then Shadows of the Empire came out, and it was good too. Then things started downhill,and they've seem to wear out the EU, with the continual supply of books, comics, etc. most of which are of poor quality, a rehash of something else, or just plain ridiculous.
