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!!
