Every book whenever it needed a simile or an outside reference would refer to the 3 original films, e.g. similes would always be along the lines of 'as grizzled as a wookie' or 'strong as a bantha' or a comparison would always be something like 'such as the time Han was frozen in carbonite'. It's been a few years since I read any of the books though after seeing the film I might give them another try (I enjoyed the Sith War comics though, must see if I can complete my set).

Some right stinkers though by other authors...Children of the Jedi, Crystal Star & others

Also wasn't too keen on the "New Jedi Order" books...gave up on them after the first few, although perhaps they've improved.

Problem with the New Jedi Order was they killed chewie, and didn't know how to handle Han afterwards

saw and film last night and was impressed but then i'm such a fan i'd never really call it a bad film..

still some bad acting and even worse lines they are given.. only Obi-Wan and The emporer can act but then still get bad lines..

though Annakin was turned far too quickly.. firstly he just didn't know which side to fight on and then next thing is a fully fledged Sith Lord and killing everyone.. could have taken longer than that..

ALso after he got in the suit after the fight with Obi-Wan you saw Darth Sidious say he had killed Pdme and you saw his strength increase with his anger.. they could have expanded on this more but the film ended straight away

still a few continuity errors but he was the chosen one as he did destroy the Sith in the end.

About the boxs and eps 7-9.. when they write books there is a Star Wars almanac that Lucas wrote that says what will happen in the future and these have to be kept in

Loved it watched it opening night here in manchester,my son went dressed as vader,I truely feel people who bitch about star wars are guys who forgot what its like to go into a cinema as a kid and just purely enjoy a film,most the guys who seen the original 77 version in the cinema will be pushing 35-40 now and forget they where probably 10 when watching it so it was bound to be better for them.

I had floods of memories from watching epIII from spotting the millennium falcon to the peter cushing look a like,sure when i was 10 i loved this style of film more (who honestly thinks the original cast did a better job of acting ? carrie fisher and mark hamill are both so wooden just check other films theyve made),all in all I think "the force is strong in this one it is" my son loved it the same as I loved the originals when I was taken too 'em as a kid,

So stop bitching not even xmas is the same these days as it was in our day

Without a doubt ..... The rest are weak, can you not feel their fear of an alliance such as this ....

As a beginner to the forum my senses aren't as keenly honed to their fear as yours - but I do sense a great disturbance - our alliance would be something to be feared!

That disturbance generally goes by the name of Nugfart, and his sidekick Dave (has no) Stones, be mindful when they are near.

Much training you need .....

I'm aware of the disturbance that Nugget creates - much idiocy he has

I'll be mindful of his dark powers, otherwise known as bad punning

I've still much to learn

Powerful this Ilikemenesis is, but he is nothing compared to the Nugget. Follow the path to the light side - the power of punning is strong in this one!

Well I saw it.

I hope it's much better at the cinema (where I'm off to see it tomorrow with luck)
