#DarkForceRising thought a couple chapters in: C'baoth's section is masterfully done, perfectly demonstrating both his drive and his aging clone madness.

#DarkForceRising thoughts: there's a lot of awkward racism in these books. Like entire races of non-humans are monolithic. Only the humans have nuanced desires and personalities. And if an "alien" does have nuance its "odd for a Rodian" or something. #StarWars #StarWarsLegends

#DarkForceRising thoughts: Zahn tries to incorporate as much hard sci-fi into his #StarWars stories as he can, and it's pretty cool. I can't recall if any of the others ever did. I'll find out! #StarWarsLegends

What's your favorite EU book and why? Mine's Betrayal. It's when you can really feel for Jacen, before they start to make him unrelatable. The one that got me into the EU is Jedi Search, though. The idea of bringing a bunch of Jedi back was so exciting to me. #StarWars

Last Command thoughts: Leia's giving birth to the twins, a beautiful scene from Zahn, is so heartbreaking as it is the first time reading it after Invincible. Jaina is born first, and her first action is to send her brother peace and love to calm him down. #StarWars

Some good, some bad. The community is toxic AF. It's been 10 years and my heart still hasn't healed from the abandoning of Jacen, Jaina, Anakin, and Ben.

The most underrated part of the PT is the capital ship battle at the beginning of 3. It's the first time in SW the scale of capital ship battles is properly represented.

"They're a lot meaner than they are smart." -about an aqualish in The Last Command. I mean, I know Zahn doesn't mean anything by it, but it's still so yikes. Who got with the old Star Wars writers and decided to create racism in a very advanced fictional society?

Damn, Michael A Stackpole ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ , reading through The Bacta War for the first time since 97 and this is like a magnum opus. Corran's thoughts when he's sitting through the Darklighter's dinner at the beginning is SO WELL DONE. Thank you. #StarWars #StarWarsLegends

Normally I just slog through YA SW books (I'm almost 40; nothing against YA) so that I have a better understanding of the settings and stories. But DAMN, @tessagratton and Justina Ireland made one of the best SW books I've ever read. Hats off.
