The fact that it was a reference to the Dagobah cave is also one of the reasons that I didn't like it. We already had Luke face an evil version of himself with his fight with Vader, and that was more dramatic because Luke was the underdog. I felt sorry for the Luke clone, as he only had the crazy C'baoth as a teacher. There was never any chance of him beating Luke, and this was one of the primary difficulties of the Thrawn trilogy. The Empire were the underdogs, and so it felt like I should be on their side.

But I'm defeating the purpose of this thread. What I like about the EU...

Well, there were some good parts of the Corellian Trilogy, in particular the idea that an entire solar system could be engineered by aliens unknown. It focuses on Han, so we don't have any overpowered Jedi shenanigans on the outing, and Centerpoint Station was a neat idea. I read it years ago, so my memory is hazy I tell you, HAZY!

And well then, what about this darkside of the force cave on the planet of Dagobah????
