Yet another book we have to buy..... ;)

Splinter is interesting because it gives us an interesting "what if" of what Star Wars could have been like with a more mystical bent (Kaiburr crystal etc.).

Yeah, originally it was thought that the Kaiburr crystal was suppose to contain the force. Something they had to go one a quest for.

But besides that. I'm definitly going to buy this book. I've been collecting all the novels and graphic novells for a few years now. If i sold all of them for the price i bought them at, it would prolly round out to 600 dollars give or take
