Hey guys- heres a coupon for Borders, so you can go buy the book if you havent already: http://f.chtah.com/i/9/276579820/092805b_coupon.html

I'm a few chapters in. I like the twists with the bug subplot, but I want them to hurry up and get back to the real story: Luke, Leia, Padme, and R2-D2!!

Bought it today; like the cover (except for the graying temples in Leia's hair). Will be starting it, after I finish Oedipus at Colonus. *

* The Athenian Post calls it the "feel-bad book of the year!" The Spartan Times gives it "II thumbs down." The Philippi Sun Times says "if you only read one play where the father is actually the brother too and the children/siblings turn their backs on him as he wanders blind," make it this one!"

That's my point. I liked the semi-frozen-in-time aspect of Star Wars EU. This just reminds me that canes should replace lightsabers and the cantina bar would be a pharmacy counter. Not to say that old people are useless, of course...

Sorry, can't find info on your second point.

LOL!

I found this by accident http://theforce.net/books/bookschedule.asp So I know its out in October. I was just curious because I have another coupon for Borders, and I just realized that I might get that new chronicles book when it comes out- I just have to wait for one of those 25% off coupons
EDIT: I found out about it: http://www.starwars.com/eu/lit/ref/news20050802.html

Holy crap in a hat, there is all sorts of stuff hitting the fan in this series. And some crap about giant bugs or something.

Grandpa Han!?!?!?

[mastermatt24]

Im confused- did you finsh the book or something?

[El Chuxter]

Not finished yet, but Jacen + Tenel Ka = as yet unnamed baby. Therefore, Han is a grandpappy.

I had a similar reaction, because I was reading it in class, and the bell to end the silent reading period ended just as that detail was revealed to Jacen. The "bugs" story is worthless to me so far, but the "other" stuff is great. I am getting sick real fast of the "new" use of the Force; Mr. Lucas is signing off on this "dark side feelings are okay" aspect?
