Boba Fett Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 *Boba Fett reads the answers, then hits himself on the head with a large club* I cant belvie I missed Brakiss's home planet. But what really gets to me was the question about their lightsaber training. I read that book, and I totally forgot... I can be such and idiot sometimes..... So, nobody wants more Trivia :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I know nothing of this trivia, because I am not a Star Wars guru. I just went to the Library and got 2 Star Wars books. Tell me if they are worth reading ok? O,o The first one is Slave Ship. The second id Dark Tide l. So are they worth the effort of reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Slave ship... That is a very good book in my opinion. I liked it so much I bought the whole series of three books. I think K. W. Jeter is a ok writer, this book is very involved and requires the reader to pay attention to detail and have a lot of background knowledge about Star Wars. I think that it is well worth reading, however if you dont know much about Star Wars it might be confusing. Overall I would recommend that you read Slave Ship, but you might want to read [I]The Mandalorian Armor[/I], which is the first book in the series first. Dark Tide I... I havent read any of this series , so I dont know how good this book is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Thanks for the info. Boba the only problem was, the first book was checked and I am quite impatient so.......... I am going to read it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=deeppink]I only answer the ones I know...so there's many that are skipped :) [i]#6 What planet do "life crystals" come from?[/i] [b]Argh! I so remember reading about those, I just can't remember which book. I'm going to take a guess and say Mimban. Ohh! I just remembered something else...from that book I hated...Nam Chorios?[/b] [i]#7 In orbit around what Imperial prison planet was the Death Star constructed[/i] [b]Kessel[/b] [i]#10 Who killed Grand Admiral Thrawn?[/i] [b]Rukh[/b] [i]#11 What did Durga the Hutt try to build in the Hoth asteroid belt?[/i] [b]A new Death Star[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Mohawk- I am glad you decided to read [B]Slave Ship [/B] anyway. Hopefully ou will learn a little about Boba Fett in the process. My Trivia: #6 The [B]"life crystals"[/B] are from neither Mimban nor Nam Chorios. Have you read the book [I]Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu[/I]? It is part of the "Lando Calrissian Adventures" series. The answer is in that book. #7 Incorrect. A prototype death star was constructed in the Maw, but not in orbit around Kessel. #10 Correct. I liked Thrawn, he is my second favorite StarWrs character. I wonder what would have happened if he had survived.... #11 Correct. I found a complete bio on Boba Fett yesterday. I would post it but it is kinda long. Maybe I can summerise it and post it later. It was on a great Boba Fett website that SS Trunks told me about. PM me if you want the web adress. (I would post it but wouldnt that be advertising?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Dark Tide I is a good book. If memory serves, you're in for quite a surprise somewhere in that book. Though, it may be Dark Tide II I'm thinking of... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I havent read it, by personal choice. I am "boycotting" that series because the writer killed off Chewie :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 I havent read any of the Star Wars books. Just one question. do all these books continue from Episode 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 [color=royalblue] I also have not read any of the books, but "Edge of Victory 1 [u]conquest[/u]" was given to me a while back, and it is from the new jedi order. I was wondering if this book is any good, or if I would not understand it due to my nothingness knowledge of the books. *edit* NM, I found a guide in there saying what books/series and when [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminaire Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sacred Warrior [/i] [B]I havent read any of the Star Wars books. Just one question. do all these books continue from Episode 6? [/B][/QUOTE] Almost all the Star Wars books are on event from after episode 6. When episode 1 came out, all these new books came containing information about what happened before episode 1 or what happened immediately afterwards. There were a few books out about what did happen in episode 1 and 2, before they ever came out. I hope that was helpful! ~Luminaire~ :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Sacred Warrior, yes these books do hapen after The Ruturn of The Jedi, about 26 years after to be exact. Luminare, when Sacred Warrior asked about [I]Epsoide 6[/I], why did you start talking about Epsoide 1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminaire Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Boba Fett [/i] [B]Luminare, when Sacred Warrior asked about [I]Epsoide 6[/I], why did you start talking about Epsoide 1?? [/B][/QUOTE] Well, Sacred Warrior didn't read "ANY" of the books. And, he asked if all the books came after ep. 6. I was just explaining that the more recent books, which are Star Wars books that I mentioned, were written mostly about events before ep.1. Sacred Warrior asked about all books, meaning all the ones you mentioned, plus the ones I mentioned. I thought it was an important detail, so I mentioned it! (I hope I don't sound like a snob!) ~Luminaire~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I assumed that Sacred Warrior was talking about the books we were talking about before, the New Jedi Order books. That is why I thought that bringing up [I]Espoide I[/I] was weird, because the events of [I]Epsoide I[/I]and the events of the NJO series have nothing to do with one another.

Ryo Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Oh, I get what you are saying now. Some of the books are before Episode 1 and some are after Episode 6. Thanks for the help Luminaire and Boba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Sacred Warrior, there are also books that take place between the movies. Such as [I]Shadows of The Empire[/I], and [I]The Splinter of the Minds Eye[/I], which both take place between Epsoides IV and V. There are also a buch of books that take place between Epsoide III and IV, such as the [I]Han Solo trilogy[/I], and the [I]Adventures of Lando Calrissian[/I]. So there are books about every time period in Star Wars you could think of, from thousands of years before Epsoide I, to twenty six years after Epsoide VI.

BabyGirl Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 [color=deeppink]I just found a cool book today that I didn't know existed. I looked at the copywrite date and I guess it came out in 2000...and I bought it. It's [b]Star Wars: The Essential Chronology[/b], which is set up like all of the other books in the "Essential" line. It'll be helpful to learn the details about things I may have missed in the comics or elsewhere. It's quite neat! It also gives a listing of every book and comic (to date in 2000...it doesn't have the most recent books, namely the NJO series) [i]in order[/i] of the Star Wars history. It's nice! I was also wondering if someone could possibly list the NJO books in order for me...as I was looking at them today, I realized that I didn't know which one to start with V_V[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hey, I have that book! I have several of the [I]Essential Guide to...[/I] books beside the Essential Cronology. I also have The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, The Essential Guide to Characters, The Essential Guide to Alien Species and the essential guide to Weapons and Technology. I already know what is in the books before I buy them, but it is nice to have a reference guide. I use them for specifics, such as how many turbolasers are on a Super Star Destroyer, you know important stuff like that. Well, you never know when you might run into one of those... One of the most interesting Star Wars books I have found is called "The Star Wars Dilpomatic Corps Entrance Exam" It is a collection of Star Wars trivia that will make you think. This is what it did to me ---> :drunk: Fine, you try and label all the parts of an R2 unit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I'll do that for you, Jenna. Vector Prime Dark Tide I: Onslaught Dark Tide II:Ruin Agents of Choas I: Hero's Trial Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse Balance Point Recovery Edge of Victory I: Conquest Edge of Victory II: Rebirth...*holds back a HUGE spoiler on this one* Star by Star...*cries* Dark Journey...*cries for Jaina* That's as far as I've gotten. If you find any newer ones, please tell me. All of these are really good. I think you'll enjoy them. :) And Boba, if you plan to skip the whole NJO series, you'll be VERY lost whenever they start making new ones. I do mean "VERY"... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 [color=royalblue] Would NJO be a series that I would understand without reading all the other books? [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Justin, I guess you are right, that means I have a lot of reading to do... I would hate to miss out on everything after NJO because I didnt read it. *Runs to Barnes&Noble.com and buys most of the NJO books* I did go online and order some of them, apparently there is a new one out, Enemy Lines II. I borrowed Enemy Lines I from a friend and read it last night. It was good, but I must read them all.... *Waits by mailbox for the other books to arrive* Oh, there are two books after the ones Justin mentioned. Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 [color=red][b]After I read the first NJO book where Chewie got waxed I don't want to read the others. Killing off a main character in the first book of a series is a bad thing to do.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 That is exactly what I thought Son Goten, but then Justin pointed out to me that if they ever publish books that are after the NJO series I wont be able to understand them because I wont know what happened in NJO. So, I gave up and started reading them. They arent that bad, butb I dont like they way they portray certain things(I wont say more, it would spoil the books) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
