Hello there!
Greetings everyone. After reading so many of the excellent blogs on this site, it'll be nice to start writing one. Although I've been rather notorious for completely forgetting about blogs I start. hopefully that won't be the case for this one. Note the picture. That is the jet trooper in all his (it's?) glory! What an incredible unit in Battlefront.

I think I'll start my blog off with a little bit of my thoughts on the Star Wars novels:

I have never really been a reader of Star Wars novels at all. I've started a couple EU ones, but I can never seem to really get into them, or appreciate them. But a year ago I began to read the Phantom Menace novel, which was actually quite good, and gave some interesting insight to the movie. Then I went on to read the novels for IV, V, and VI, which were also all well written, and quite enjoyable as well. Then I listened to the Revenge of the Sith novel on CD.

For me this was by far the best of all the novels. (Although I didn't read the AotC novel, so I can't judge it against that one.) It has a very interesting writing style, and I love how it will give introductions to the different characters, and sometimes take a break to expain what it would be like to be a certain character in his/her current situation. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and detailed adaption of Revenge of the Sith that I'd reccomend to anyone who's seen the movie.

I'm still not a fan of any EU novels, though, but maybe that'll change as time goes on. For now, I think I'll draw this entry to a close.
