Of course.  I'm hoping not, but George Lucas could fuck up a wet dream.  I'll wait for the spoilers, then make up my mind whether to watch it or not.

I know the books 'jumped the shark' when that whole vong or whatever showed up and killed everyone!

I ignore the New Jedi Order series.  They're so full of idiocies and soap opera histrionics that it makes you realize that the Old Jedi Order had it right when they said no possession and no families.  Luke does the Jedi a disservice.  I wouldn't give the NJO Jedi a sharp stick let alone let them be representatives of the New Republic.  They might do something dramatic with said sharp stick while fighting with their parents, siblings, mooning over their gf or bf, husbands or wives or ex-spouses/lovers.

Sheesh!!  ::)

they focus almost exclusively on the actual squadron and the various pilots....Wedge Antilles rebuilds it and they go on various missions...

they really are great, I would recommend them. very compelling.

OK, I figured they were.  I was going to ask you which one was your favorite, but then figured I would have to start at the beginning.  I'll try one and see if I like it.  I didn't get past a few chapters of Timothy Zahn's celebrated series once they mentioned the existence of "chocolate".  ::)
