What? What is 'ghost written'? Lucas's name is on the book! What the heck is with that?

Congrads on getting the shoud-have-been-runner-up-second-to-Kotor Game of the Year!!!!

Wind Waker is a lot of fun, and does many things better than OoT, but let's face it: Kotor Rules!

I think I prefer Morgan.

But that's just me. Er.. Adam is funnier, normaly, but... ah whatever. We're getting way off topic again.

And yes, Mirax. Sesler is named after the X-Play host.

THIS IS A BUY.

So what new content is there? Aside from the f****ing insulting line at the beginning, most of the things in the movie were fairly tame for modern PG-13.

I think a happy ending for quigon is OK.

Thrawn Trilogy

Excellent. The perfect, best place to begin reading SW novels. Actually, I never read Heir to the Empire, but I'm sure it is just as good as the other two. (?/10 9/10 9/10)

Hand of Thrawn

Perfect. I didn't think Zahn could do it agian, but he did. Granted I read them all this summer, after last command, I didn't think Zahn could take Thrawn anywhere else. But this proved he is the master. I enjoyed Vision more than Specter. (8/10 10/10)

New Jedi Order

Mostly great. There were a few boring ones, but a few out of ninteen is pretty good, right? Over allscore: (9/10)

Tatooine Ghost

Pretty good. I was a little dissapointed in the ending, and reading about the mechanics of dying in a desert is a little... unpleasatn., but it really made the end of NJO all the more worth it. (7/10)

A New Hope Novel

I don't guess this counts as EU per-say, but It was really amazing. It prooves that Lucas should probably say 'to Kessel' with his movie career and become a full-time novelist.(10/10)

Attack of the Clones Novel

RA Salvatore did the best with what he was given, and he did a really good job. But AoTC isn't quite as powerful without the visual stimuli, mostly because the characters are so much weaker than Han Leia and Luke. still a good read.(8/10)

It does seem that all the pieces are in place for an excellent film.

Now if Lucas can just stitch it all together, it should be amazing.

Either way, I think that you're alone in seeing him--I never see anyone but regulars in the who's on anymore.

And he could still read, perhaps read it easier, if not logged on. I read for a while before joining.

If I add too much, I might go over the character limit.

Besides, HL2 doesn't really intersest me, as I'm not really into computer games. Especially since my computers allways screw up after at most 2 years.

The sequel is very different from Pitch Black, but entertaining nonetheless.

I think the ending makes the whole experience worth it.

Which also means that he's seen every insult we've leveld towards him out side private messages!!

Hey everbody. Thanks to the very light poster bwlag, I was able to recieve a copy of Balance of the Force today.

And I watched it when I should have been doing homework. OVerall, it was alright, but I think I prefer the Original version. For one thing, Jar Jar is even more annoying, coming across as a selfish prick, rather than a buffoon. I also thought the knew dialogue of the Nemoidians and Gungans made everything seem a little too dark. (Not to mention the bothersome fact that all the backwards alien dialogue tracts makes it sound like everybody inhales to talk.)

But Jar Jar calling that Bothan an ugly b***** was sort of funny. In a depraved sort of way.

EsB was releaed in 1980, and BttF 2 came out in 1989.

So how is that off?

You do realize that Syphon Filter was a bad example, right?

A very dated tactical shooter a good game does not make.

Don't make it sound like torture; HG is actually a fairly light read, and much lighter than LOTR.

I have a hard time getting into new stories. The only reason I've read 25 novels this year is because most of them were Starwars.
