So, having decided to skip the Old Republic EU stuff (for now), I've weaved my way through Cloak Of Deception, the Darth Maul comic and Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. (Actually, I also got through Jedi Vs. Sith [so much for eschewing Old Republic material], Outlander, and a handful of Hyperspace stories [the Bane one and, a personal fave, the Panaka one]). And that left me on the doorstep of the Episode I novelization. And it's taking me forever. First off, I already read it way back when TPM first came out and I spoiled myself completely. Second off, I was able to finally pick up The Making Of Episode III, since it no longer has the power to spoil me. And that book has been taking up a lot of my time. Because it is AWESOME.

So, do I skip the Episode I novelization? Perhaps. Stay tuned.
