White's still a color ya know. Just like vanilla is a flavor.

Have to say after reading just about every starwars book ever written, this book really isn’t that good. Regauardless of the color of the person who wrote it, it’s really bad, don’t let mis freshly fool you. Long time lucker, just signed up for the rebuttal.

Can we at least agree that 85% of all Star Wars books - both vintage and neo - are varying degrees of utter dogshite? Most of them suck.

One can enjoy a piece of entertainment that isn’t well-made.

Need proof? Kevin Smith has a career and, somehow, many fans. ?

I'm working my way through the Video Nasties (a series of banned and censored movies from the eighties) and there are some gems in there - the italian Giallos, Bava, Argento and the like - there's been a ton of terrible movies like Don't Go In the Woods Alone, which is basically if Ed Wood made a slasher flick. By every metric imaginable, it is a terrible movie - but I enjoy the **** out of it.

That said, @Tramp Graphics you are a bad person and you should feel ashamed of yourself!

Like the Tramp I have also enjoyed most Star Wars fiction but I have also confessed to have a taste for bad literature.

I've liked them all for the world-building but my mind is also engaged in chores of some nature so I don't find them as insulting to my intelligence as others have proposed. I will note that I consume them as audiobooks and that the narrator of many of the books, while quite good, has a finite range of voices and thus reuses voices across books. It can get very confusing to the person half-paying attention. I will admit that's a core-worlder problem and complaining about it is a touch silly. ?

Yeah, despite my reticence, I started listening to Dark Disciple last week, and I keep wondering why Mace Windu sounds more like Lando*. ?

(*Especially obvious since the last one I listened to was Last Shot .)
