I just ordered a new copy of DEATH STAR by Michael Reavis and Steve Perry. It is one of the best books I've ever read in the STAR WARS universe. I can't say enough about it. It takes place during the construction of the Death Star, with the attempted rescue of some unknown Princess by Rebels who somehow managed to get on board -- all taking place in the background, and not even part of the plot. Instead, the story follows (about) seven people, all from different walks of life who interact on the satellite. I can't wait to get into it again. THIS, is the story they need to make into a series...come to think of it, maybe I should try and see what I can do with it? (Sigh) If only I knew who to contact about it...

I liked Death Star as well. A story about normal people in the Star Wars universe always interests me.

I’m thinking, for the intellectual challenge, that I’d like to turn it into a series. I guess that’s what? Thirteen shows? Or Netflix, with eight? A great concept idea I’m going to have to mull over…

I never understood the dislike for the Aftermath trilogy as well.

Pour ma part, c'est l'éveil de la lame rouge (avec Iskat Akaris) : le meilleur roman sur la guerre des Clones que j'ai lu. Les doutes des Jedi, le personnage d'Akaris... du tout bon.

Sorry, I don't speak French, but I roughly translated this :) Yes, Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade is a fantastic Clone Wars-era book. It's currently at the top of my list of favorite Star Wars books of all time.
