I generally find the "Star Wars" novels to be even less interesting than most of the "Star Trek' novels.

The stories can get a little convoluted. Still say the TNG A Time to___ novelswere great.

Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but Labyrinth of Evil, and the Epsidode 3 novelization were both excellent. This is the third one in that series.

I've already read it, and it was excellent. The insight into Darth Vader, as well as his relationship with the Emperor, is fascinating.

Plus, the book shows us a battle on Kashyyk the likes of which we should've seen in Episode III. You can practically hear the Imperial March playing as you read...

You mean like if "Episode III" had been a halfway decent movie?

Actually Brikar, if you really are as dissapointed with the movie as you seem to be. Go get the novelization and read it. If they had of done the movie with even HALF of the enthusiasm, or depth that was in that novel, it would have been the best movie in the last ten years.
