And that is pretty much an assumption because we did not actually see a lot of that during the course of the war, also from what I know.
And yeah that is a very absolute statement, I did not like it much either.
If so, my sincerest apologies.

I don't think Yaddle is too old for the Clone Wars considering Yoda was pushing 900. However I don't think Yaddle was part of the Clone Wars as I don't remember seeing her outside Episode I within the movies. She's not hard to make out, you see her a few times during the council scenes with Qui Gon and Anakin.

Yaddle was another Yoda like creature seen briefly (if at all) in Episode I. She (He?) is shown in the Episode 1 visual dictionary.

Originally posted by Col.Foley View PostI liked the Anakin Solo duology...those were the best by far right now...IMO. Star By Star fell a little...flat to me, it was very good, but still fell flat at places . And Dark Journey was a very good book, but some things bugged me about it. Those are the next two on the list
The Anakin Solo duology. That's got to be the Keyes books right? Conquest and Rebirth? I liked Rebirth, but not as much as Dark Tide 1 and 2.
Star by Star had a lot of problems. First and for most was that they tried to accomplish WAY TOO MUCH in one book. Major battle/loss and major character death. I remember it being a LONG book, and while it had elements I really did like, it had parts that I didn't like.

Dark Tide for whatever reason really did not do it for me but I loved both of the books ...the Conquest and Rebirth. Anakin became the definition of awesome.
And yeah over all I would agree with you, just too much crammed in especialyl early on, I felt like it did smooth out towards the end of the book, and got a lot better. And I loved the battle of Coruscant...I do not know if this is bad or not bt I noticed that the book tended to get repetitive in bits.

Of course that could be beacause they threw in a short story that took place....no wait that was star by star nevermind . But...well I am seriously considering starting them (again )

Anakin was always the definition of awesome. I really liked Jacen there for a while. Before Balance of the Force... Before Traitor... Before the Legacy series...
Battle of Coruscant was awesome.

Stackpole did such a good job portraying them that way that the overall scope of the series was adjusted so that the Vong became that way.

Yes Obi Wan . Though I have always been big fan of Jaina and Anakin, those two were just so amazing . And hot . Though Jacen at times really annoys me and really endears me...I want to read him and Veagere already
It was probably one of the more expansive and in depth space battle in literature that I have ever read, so detailed that they went slowly out from the outer part of the system to the inner.

I share your feelings on Jacen. You haven't read Traitor yet, but I was SO psyched about that book. I was reading it, and there were parts where I cheered out loud. Then, there were parts that made my put the book down and skulk. Jacen can be the most insightful at times, and at other times, he's the densest piece of neutronium on the market.
Any battle for Coruscant rocks. X-wing series, Star by Star, Episode III, and Unifying Force.

Episode three was great.
