I just wanted to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the new Star Wars books. I'll put it into perspective with the following:
Imagine if, in your favorite story, after whatever saga unfolded they made it completely irrelevant by having this bad guy come in who suddenly burns the whole world that the heroes tried to save in the first place and kills most of your favorite characters. The characters that are left become all emo, goth, and wussified, while the characters you are annoyed by the most become the center piece of the series. In the end, characters you hate become the supreme champions who woop the bad guy. Yet somehow, even though they "kicked ass", they still maintain their annoying qualities. It's like Gollum being the hero of Lord of the Rings after the hobbits, the elves, dwarves ect are all killed. That just isn't right.
The make the movies irrelevant by having this unstoppable horde come in and bash everything up, have Ackbar, Chewie, ect killed, while Han becomes emasculated, and Jacen Solo, a character of jar-jar binks likeability, becomes supreme master of the force, who they say is now the most powerful Jedi that ever was, is, and will be. But he's still a giant cock. Yet now he is the champion supreme. WTF.
And people LIKE this series. HOW? HOW?!?!?! It's a bunch of shit, and I hate it. I want my freaking money back, those books should be burned or used as toiler paper.
