MS> I haven't read a SW novel since I was half-way through the "Corellian MS> Trilogy" and quit. If you're like me in this respect (as I suspect [*]), Ann Crispin's Han Solo trilogy is the series to make you take up reading SW novels again (if possibly only for three books). _The Paradise Snare_ is nearly stellar, despite having to describe all of Han's origins, and despite a plot that might seem like 'standard SF' at first glance, it absolutely manages to capture the Star Wars feeling. I haven't finished _The Hutt Gambit_ yet, and it doesn't seem to be QUITE as good, but still very readable, interesting, an "StarWarsy." _Rebel Dawn_ hasn't made it across the Atlantic yet (**), unfortunately, so I'll have to trust James. (Which I do, although he doesn't like _The Terminator._ ;-) ) (*) I myself haven't read anything except the original Zahn trilogy (which I didn't like too much) and _Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina,_ and quit after a chapter or two of _Jedi Search,_ mostly because of what I read here about ever bigger super weapons. I did re-read Brian Daley's Han Solo trilogy, though. (**) Which is not that easy, as a rather popular current movie shows. ;-) May the Force be with you, Oliver. PS. I hope this message contains enough side remarks to make everyone disagree with me about some thing or other and thus increase the traffic here a bit. :-) I even make a last ditch attempt in my origin line. --- CrossPoint v3.11 R * Origin: Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars. 2:240/5780.28) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 138 STAR WARS Ref: F4200000 Date: 03/25/98 From: ANDREW SHEARWOOD Time: 01:52pm \/To: JOHN WARNER (Read 0 times) Subj: AMATURE STAR WARS MOVIE I -=> Quoting John Warner to All <=- Thought I might poke my head back into the echo again...

I don't care much for the US ranking though I'd love to see it become #1 in the world. Its easily better than Jurassic Park and Independence Day.

(awful pun intended :) Yep. JS> or will it just make a respectable showing? im not so sure that the US JS> movie-going crowd of today will react to this the same way they did 10 JS> years ago. Even with the Special Editions (as abominable as they were) Star Wars still rakes it in... I don't see any reason why that audience will have changed much by next year. Regards, Andrew. ...

(WOW! hordes of Boba Fetts!!! YEEEE-HAW!) 4) The story will center around anakin skywalker and obi-wan kenobi, but also on a close-knit group of 12 Jedi Knights, much like the Arthurian legends of the knights of the round table. not much, but i got excited... it was stuff i hadnt heard before....
