Luminaire Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Sorry, I don't remember all the names. Last time I checked there were sixteen books. I kinda lost track after that. ~Luminaire~ :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormmon's Tamer Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 What's the book where Palpatine's clone turns Luke to the dark side??:help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 That would be Dark Empire, which isn't a book. It's a set of comics. Though, it may have been turned into a graphic novel now. RANDOM QUIZZY!!!! 1) Who was Vau Rapuung? 2) Who is Tsavong Lah? 3) What did Anakin Solo use to replace the warped cystal in his lightsaber? 4) How did his crystal become warped? 5) What did Kyp Durron saythe Vong were growing at Serinpedal(I know I didn't spell that right, but i'll edit it later.) 6) Who is Nen Yim? 7) Who is Nen Tsup? 8) What does 'Tsup' mean in Yuuzhan Vong? That's all for now... And BabyGirl is correct in her listing of the X-Wing novels. I checked in one my NJO books, which all have a listing of all the SW novels and where they fall in the time line ^_^. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 [color=royalblue] I did the same thing (cuz I only have one novel, and it is NJO Conquest), but BG beat me to it... [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 BabyGirl, thanks for the book names. I am going to try and buy the ones I dont have, now that I know the titles. Wormmon's Tamer, their isnt a [I]book[/I] where Palpitines colne turns Luke to the Dark side, but their is a [I]comic book [/I] series called [B]Dark Empire[/B], which tells the tale of the re-born Emperor, his clones, the World Devastators, the birth of Leia's third son and Lukes fall to the dark side. The series is published by [B]Dark Horse Comics[/B] and includes: [B]Dark Empire[/B], [B]Dark Empire II[/B] and a third short conclusion thats name I cant seem to remember. I hope this helps... Noooooo! Justin, I am sorry to say I know none of the answers to your quiz, not a single one...:( But I will guess anyway. #1 A Youzan Vong leader #2 The leader of the Youzan Vong #3 Another crystal #4 In a battle with the Youzan Vong #5 A worldship #6 A Youzan Vong preist #7 A Youzan Vong preist #8 Sun I need to read the NJO series, but cant find all the books...(that explains my pitiful answers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Cloud Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 [color=indigo] Well, Iwent to Barns and Noble and read a ton of Star Wars stuff the other day, and I have a couple questions... Did anyone else get mad when Mara Jade married Luke Skywalker? Did General Thrawn resurrect the Emporer, or is that another storyline? What happens to the Dark Jedi Master that Thrawn finds, I think his name is G'Boath, but I can't recall? Any awnsers would be much appreciated...[/color]] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Fett Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Did you like it(the first bookin the Thrawn series)? I thought the whole series was excellent, and I recommend reading all three of the books. I like that series so much I own the books, and the books on tape. The yalsamiri(Sp) are my favorite creature in Star Wars. It is always nice to have one handy...... *pats pet yalsamiri on its head*:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Maul Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I have a question. On page 3 of SW411, Boba Fett said "My real name is Jaster Mereel." Refering to the real Fett of course. Everyone agreed with him. But I've come across a comic book which says otherwise. The story it tells is that Jaster is a Mandalorian(hope I spelled it right) warrior who saves Jango Fett from being killed. Jango's family gets killed, and Jaster sort of takes him in and trains him to kill. Also in Ep. II Jango calls Boba Boba, and not Jaster. Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Justin Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 He managed to cover his tracks anyway, though. Or someone did for him. Like Maul said, the whole thing about Boba being Jaster was a "misunderstanding" in the SW Universe. Because Bobe wore Mereel's armor, everyone assumed him to be Mereel(so I've read) when in reality, Mereel was Jango's mentor. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Fett Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Wormmon's Tamer- The comic books can be ordered from Barnes and Noble, Dark Horse Comics and various other comic book retailers. Mr Maul- I too have read that comic book series, since I am now reading anything I can find on Jango's past(becaue it is closely tied to Boba's). I belive the series you are refering to is called [I]Jango Fett: Open Seasons[/I]. I have the first two comic books in the series and have pre-ordered the other two. I have written up a document that explains the Jaster/Jango connection, since I get asked about this a lot. Here it is: ---------------------------------------------- As for the Jango Fett/Jaster Mereel story it is mentioned as a rumor about Boba's past. This rumor states: Boba Fett was born as Jaster Mereel on the planet Concord Dawn. He became a sort of policeman on that planet, called a [I]Journeyman Protector[/I]. Later he was exiled from Concord Dawn for killing another corrupt Journeyman protector. He left the planet and later turned up as Boba Fett. This rumor was disproved by Episode II. Here is the story that tells the real connection between Boba/Jango and Jaster. It is found in a series of Star Wars comic books published by [B]Dark Horse Comics[/B]. It turns out that shortly before the extinction of the Mandalorian warriors they split into two groups. A large group split from the main group (which was now very small, made up of only ten Mandalorians). The large group that split away from the original group was re-named Death Watch. It was lead by an ambitious man named Visla, who thought the Mandalorians should conquer the galaxy. The remainder of the Mandalorians stayed with their original leader, a reformed murderer called Jaster Mereel. He believed that the Mandalorians should remain elite mercenaries. Jango was 10 at the time of these events and his father was one of Jaster's supporters. So when Jaster needed a hiding place Jango's dad let him hide in the fields behind their house. Visla and his gang found out and captured Jango and his family. They threatened to kill them if they didn't hand over Jaster. When they refused they were executed. In the confusion Jango slipped away. Then Jaster showed up. He had apparently had heard the blaster fire and had come to help, only to arrive too late. Jaster and his men started shooting Visla's warriors from the cover of Jango family's fields. Visla and his men set fire to the field and soon Jango and his rescuers were surrounded by fire. They escaped through an irrigation pipe that lead out of the field. Visla, thinking that Jango and Jaster, along with the rest of his opponents were now dead, stopped in a nearby town to re-supply. Jaster and his forces ambushed them in the town and killed every member of Death Watch, including Visla, or so they thought. About nine years later, on Jango's very first mission as a squad commander, the Mandalorains (still lead by Jaster) were ambushed by a reborn Death Watch and an army of heavily armed locals on Korda. The mission was supposed to be routine and easy money. Most of the Mandalorians were killed in the ambush. Jango and his squad managed to search out Visla. Jaster confronted him and was terribly wounded. Jango was distraught and stayed with Jaster until he died. Then Jango was left in control of the Mandalorians. This is the true story of the Jaster/Jango connection ------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminaire Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 That is very interesting! I never knew about the Jango/Jaster thing. Maybe I'm not reading very thoroughly. :) *Runs to find book* *finds book, turns to page three* Oh! Mr. Maul is right! It's right in the middle of the conversation. Cool!! I know a new fact! Thanks! ~Luminaire~ :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 So, do you think my explaination of the Jango/Jaster connection is good? I am not very good at writing, and would like advice on that.... I am looking for a new Star Wars book, I just finished re-reading Epsoide II. Any suggestions? (Other than the NJO series, which I am also reading). There is some new SW book out now, called [B]Tatooine Ghost[/B] or something like that, has anyone read it? It looks interesting, but I want advice before I buy it....

GotenksSSJ343 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I got one it's called Star Wars Young Jedi Knights Series there's Six so far I believe you can get it at Borders or another book store. It's after Episode VI And (spoiler about book) Han Solo and Leia have twins Jaina (girl) and Jacen (boy) But thats all iIm saying, and it's pretty good so far. I could say more but I don't like spoiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminaire Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Did you read any of the Jedi Apprentice books? I thought some of them were really good. The books take place before Ep. I, before Obi-wan is even an apprentice to Qui-gon Jinn. The only down part is that the books are kind of short. :( ~Luminaire~ :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Thanks for your recommendations; I will look at those books next time I go to Barnes&Noble. Anyone up for Trivia? 1 Who hired Jango Fett to provide the source DNA for the clone army? 2 What is Leia's middle name? 3 Who is BabayGirls favorite Star Wars character, and who is her least favorite character? [BabyGirl, if you are reading this, you are NOT eligible to answer :D ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I've read almost all of the Young Jedi Knights books. They were all right. But I think everyone that's posted in this thread already knows that Han and Leia had kids, and that Luke trains him at his academy and all that good stuff. I know that BabyGirl likes Han Solo. But she LOVES Ewan McGregor. So yah...And HEY, if you people want to support us, check out the Adam's Angels website! It's not complete yet, but it will be soon. Okay, I just had to put that... ;)[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tyrannus(sp?) aka Count Dooku 2. Well, if you mean in the books after RotJ, then it's Organa. But if you mean before Leia and Han got married, then I have no idea. 3. I think her favorite character is Han Solo. [quote][color=deeppink]Han is my favorite character from the movies. I'm SO in love with him (and Harrison Ford in general) that I have a HUGE cardboard stand up thing in the corner of my room. I'll take a picture by it some day and show everyone :p [/color][/quote]. Her least favorite character is...... I'll have to say......Jar Jar Binks. No one likes him. :D[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]*Shudders at the thought of someone saying that Jar Jar is their favorite character* Oh well, at least I know I got that question right. And I was thinking Leia's middle name was Organa too, because after she married Han Solo her name was Leia Organa Solo...so yeah. Otherwise, you never really HEARD of her having a middle name...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
