You all are forgetting one thing about star wars, it is not Science Fiction, it is Space Opera, completly differant things, and that is what NJO is turning SW into, Sci-Fi (that horrible sound of fornicating bug aliens

)
ANd i really hated all the boks before hero's Trail, i never understood, why fantesy writers were trying to do space Opera, on an Epic scale. Jsut plain sucked
The next victum to the vong will be R-2 or C3PO, most likey R2. Han is too much of a stong Protaginist, Liea has too much to offer, and it seems stupid to off the only Jedi master (that would be luke)
