Have they finally ended that so-far annoying series? I've only read up to Edge of Victory 2, but I haven't been very impressed.

And HLP is as good a place as any to talk about anything. :) Remember that.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Bah, never read any of those. I don't like the premise and they're hard to find around here (as is any sci-fi)...
Probably away. Contact through email.

Yah, I'd go to theforce.net too. They have pretty good forums over there, although they do hand out a bunch of bans for OT spamming and stuff. They really try to stay on topic there. Good place though.

Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

You can tell that the series is coming to an end. Everyone is dying and all the planets are being destroyed.
It is a sad thing, because Star Wars is very good, but too many characters are being killed off. I liked the older Star Wars books better, before any of this Yuuzhan Vong stuff.

WARNING!  Spoilers!

Jania came back from the dark side.  Luke & gang are starting another rebellion since the NR is basically dead.  They bring back the Lusankya and kick major ass at Borleias.  Jania starts to get romantically involved with Jag Fel.  Pretty much sums up the latest novel.

The series isn't planned to end until sometime in 2004.

Spoiler thing appearently.... I don't think it's spoiler material though. :doubt:  *black text*
NJO should get better now, since Luke & Co. have decided to, finally, fight back.

This isn't anything like the end of the series (Star Wars or NJO) - what they're doing (personal speculation, not spoiler) is putting the New Republic back in a situation where it's best suited to be - a Rebellion.  Once again, it's a bunch of little guys fighting the big guys.  The New Republic was getting too big, overgrown, beaurocratic, etc... - they had to make things smaller again, hence they *SPOILER* gave Coruscant to the Yuuzhan Vong.   *END SPOILER*

Oh, and from what I've read, *SORTA SPOILER-LIKE THING*Anakin isn't dead.  *END SPOILER-LIKE THING*

Now whether the execution of the above sorta spoiler-like thing is done tastefully or stupidly is a matter that will soon be determined.

You are aware of the concept of a spoiler right?  NOT EVERYONE HAS READ REBEL DREAMS YET!  Use the color tag with a spoiler warning dammit. :mad:

Careful you must be of anger, for it leads to hatred, hatred leads to suffering.
Also spoiler colours should be black, not bright blue so it stands out and it easy to see!
