In the New Empire (yes, they've replaced the New Republic) storyline they've named a whole Star Destroyer class after him.

| I'll be honest, I think killing off Chewbacca was a great move. The previous Star Wars books had gotten stale because of a combination of recycled plots and invincible characters. Killing off a main character makes sense and considering Chewy's place in the SW universe, he is the logical choice. |

Or the convenient one. I mean, come on, he didn't even get a stinkin' medal at the end of episode IV! Where's the justice?

Of course, the bigger part of it was that it was so totally Solo's kids fault since anyone else piloting the Falcon would have swooped in for him and more than likely succeeded. Of course, I think he's all Darkside or dead or something now...whassever.

Most of the books are better quality than fan fiction and they are all licensed as part of the Star Wars extended universe. Some of them are even worth reading. Also, haha hyperdrive.  |

Yeah, pretty soon we're gonna need a protocol droid to understand anything.

that is true. I did appreciate that liam, however, that doesnt translate the last few pages. I like star wars (with ignoring the first three) but that doesnt change the fact that i have never read them and cant understand you when you speak.

Yes, and? This is a thread about the Star Wars Expanded Universe book, particularly those written by Timothy Zahn. Theres no way to take that out of this thread and still make it have any point.
I would accept a segue from the books to talking about the Clone Wars animated Miniseries. The only worthwhile thing to come out of the prequels. |

Or perhaps a jump back onto the Clones themselves, hmm? They really /are/ the good that came from all this prequelery:)
