Backlash by Aaron Allston
2.0
I think this is a sign. I've been a huge, SW Expanded Universe Fan for over fifteen years. I love Aaron Allston, Tim Zahn, Michael Stackpole. I however have a problem when I'm reading a Star Wars book and it starts to feel like I've read it before I've even read it. Ever since the Legacy of the Force series things haven't felt like Star Wars. I feel like there are only so many times you can have one of the Skywalker/Solo's tempted by the Dark Side and while Vestara is an interesting character, I wonder sometimes if going back to old haunts like Dathomir are worth it.
However this was the first time that Aaron Allston's jokes just felt out of place--normally I love the humor in dangerous situations, but it felt forced and at sometimes really random.
Also what's the deal with Han and Leia leaving an 8 year old alone on the Falcon with C3P0?
I knew I'd have some issues after they killed off Mara Jade in the LoTF series, but now I feel like every book has unoriginal political intrigue that is superficial and Sith that are a little hard to figure out.
