Daala?

What this thread has helped me realize is how much of the EU I really don't like. On average, I feel like I'm an EU advocate here. I never pretend it's more than it is and I've read less that 25% of what's out there now... but I'm glad it exists and I'm a pretty big fan of the Thrawn Trilogy, of certain ideas in Dark Empire, less of Dark Empire II and a good portion of the Tales of the Jedi line. I'm currently reading Bane stuff now and that seems to be pretty decent.

The rest can go hang, I guess. Even the stuff I find somewhat tolerable, the "new" characters seem to be the weakest part of it. As in the Jedi Academy trilogy- I totally think Luke would start an Academy or something to try to recreate the Jedi order... so that part I can dig... and I think, inevitably, since he is a new master and making it all up from scratch that he would have several students "wash out" at best and "turn to the dark side" at worst, so I can dig that too... But... Kyp and Daala.... I haven't read the books since they came out, but I have no fond memories of these characters.

So, in a way, this thread has asked me: What EU Characters are good enough that they deserve my effort in trying to come up with an actor to portray them. And I think my list is mostly over aver 4 or 5 attempts.

Oooh! I just remembered one more: Cade's mom in Legacy. She hasn't had a lot of... er.... page time... but she seems to be a pretty interesting character. I'll have to dedicate some of that precious time to finding her a matching thespian.
