Jedi Twilight Review--Spoilers

Mara Jade © — Jul 02, 2008 04:34 PM

I expected a lot more from this book. The idea, a Jedi-turned-P.I. after escaping the Purges and finding work in the slimey underbelly of Coruscant's lower levels, sounds great--a nice treat and reprieve from the same ol' same ol' Jedis always doing

"The Science of Star Wars"

I hope this new article in the latest issue of the Insider isn't a one-time only thing. It's pretty neat to see real life applications of gadgets and technology once only seen on the big screen or read about in books.

Lightsabers Are Not The Best Stuff on Earth!

Mara Jade © — May 04, 2008 12:30 PM

Aside from the Mando harvested metal beskar stuff, and something that starts with a 'c' (coriolis?) that I just read about and now, can't find, what else can't a lightsaber cut through?

The Insider's Latest: 100 Best Things About Star Wars

Mara Jade © — Feb 29, 2008 07:24 PM

I'm a little disappointed to see Jar Jar (#55) on this list at all, but that he ranks higher than the X-wing, C-3PO, Vader's suit, wookiees, TIE fighters, and Shaak Ti (Gasp!), not to mention countless other more worthy adversaries, makes me very

To avoid spoiling anyone before they've had the chance to pick up a copy of Sacrifice, I'll do an introduction first.

Allegiance Review--Spoiler Material

Mara Jade © — Feb 05, 2007 01:09 PM

In the first two chapters of Allegiance, Zahn introduces us to a little bit of everybody. The Empire is bad, citizens are disillusioned, stormtroopers and Han have divided loyalties, Luke is a n00b, and Mara Jade really kicks butt.

The votes are in...

Legacy of the Force 3: Tempest

Mara Jade © — Dec 10, 2006 10:43 PM

I have to say, I was beginning to be a little disappointed with Tempest in comparison to the other LoTF novels thus far. It seemed as if Jacen's introspection, fear, and doubt from the end of Bloodlines was brushed aside because here he was, acting as

Dave Wolverton, Brandon Sanderson, and L.E. Modesitt

Unfortunately, due to time discrepancies on Brandon's website, I missed the signing in Citrus Heights, but did managed to talk to him on the phone and got a promise for some signed book plates. I also got the 11x14 glossy photo promotional covers signed

The similarities are astonishing

Mara Jade © — Sep 15, 2006 11:20 AM

In light of the recent release of the Eragon trailer, I wanted to point your thoughts towards the texual evidence of highly dubious similarities between

Bloodlines--spoilers ahead!

Mara Jade © — Aug 31, 2006 05:43 PM

From sneering, hurt at Lando after learning they'd been betrayed to Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back" to turning to his son in Vector Prime to say "You left him," Han Solo has been the catalyst for our emotions as readers--the one truly

Outrageous closed-mindedness!

20 minutes of greatness

I've seen Shakespeare plays done in 20 minutes, but it's a crime I won't be able to catch this one. Anyone want to take me to NY?

Why did I have to tame the beast? Why?!
