*hangs head in nerdy shame*  

yeah,  ive read every single SW book ever, with a few small exceptions, and i DID notice Kyle's name in the most recent book. i think its kinda wierd though. i just dont really like it, seeing as how hes a completely contrived character with no attachment to the movies or anything. but thats just me  .

i do like all the new books, except i can only read them once, instead of the many times ive read all the rest. dunno why. and i dont like the "kill all the good characters" hardcover books either. cant wait for the next book though. any idea when its due out?

btw: dont bother skimming the other books for his name. hes not in em. trust me

Guess im not Nerdly enough for this club, only read 3 SW books ever.

Im more of a SW game fan. Got: Rebel Assault 1&2, Dark Forces, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Racer, SW game for GameGear, SW Arcade (32x), Jedi Powerbattles (Dreamcast), SW:Demolition (for DC), SW plugins for Escape Velocity, Galactic Battlegrounds, Starfighter (PS2), Rouge Leader (GC), and soon JKII. Think theres a couple more, cant remember .

The summer between my sophomore and junior years in high school, I bought $100 worth of Star Wars books. And so began my collection. I have all the major EU novels aside from the kiddie books and one or two from the Bounty Hunter Wars series. Also, I don't have two of the prequel era books. I also don't read the comics. I also love the New Jedi Order series. Remember, Force Heretic II: Refugee comes out May 5. My favorite EU character is Corran Horn. I've read I, Jedi at least 5 times, if not more.

Characters from the games are rarely mentioned, aside from Kyle. I think Kyle would be a good addition to the EU and is one of the better non-trilogy characters. However, there are several parts of the Jedi Knight games which are questionable because of the various story lines. In the first JK, the Valley of the Jedi was discovered and a huge Force repository found. However this is never mentioned in any of the novels and doesn't really fit. The same goes for JK II. It's never been mentioned or even hinted that a certain crystal could give non-Jedi Force powers. I really don't like the direction Lucas Arts is going for JK: JA and Knights of the Old Republic. I've seen several screen shots of Jedi using double bladed light sabers, something which has never happened in any of the novels and which I don't think would have happened.

I think JK II may be the end of the line for my Star Wars games, unless they release a new X-Wing or Tie Fighter game. Galaxies would also be cool.

check the top of page 280 in rebel stand (enemy lines II ). its not quite the same, but the old jedi temple was built on the wellspring of force energy there on coruscant. i seem to remember something similar mentioned in one of the prequil books, but it may have just been a fan fiction, cant remember now, brain fried from a week in hawii .

as for force crystals, i think in one of the jedi apprentice books (obi wan and quigon) in one of the first few books, when obi wan had his 13th birthday, and qui gon gave obi a special rock that had some force properties, but nothing like the crystals from JKII. i dont know maybe the crystal is similar to a nicotine patch or something, but it gives the holder midi chlorines instead
