I have read some TZ stuff in the past but "children of the jedi" by Barbara Hambly ruined it for me. And whats with all this CG shit anyways?  I mean Lucas had a lot to do with the stories origins, but this shit over the last 10 years gives me a bitter taste in my mouth.  I don't care what anyway else says, the new Indiana Jones movie was fucking stupid!  'Lead lined' fridge half a mile from a fucking nuke? 'His body would be perfectly preserved" if it survived the fucking melting process? Aliens now? wtf?!?!     Shia aLebeouf is the biggest douche in hollywood since matthew mcconaughey.  Episodes 1-3 were a big pile of shit, Lucas's almost michael bayish with all of his CG masturbations that he calls a movie.   What i am trying to say is that the best movies in anyones book (episodes #5-6 "your full of shit if you disagree') had the least George Lucas tampering (Irvin Kershner directing 5 and Richard Marquand directing #6).  So all i am saying is that he needs a fucking hobby away from movie making, his glory days are long gone (he's a lot like the Toronto Maple leafs ( I am Canadian give me a break), who fill the stands on past glories with noone facing the fact they havent won a stanley cup in 41 years!)  The star wars universe is dead, and George Lucas killed it.

I used to read Timothy Zahn, but some of the expanded Universe authors are fucking awful (*cough Barbara Hambly).  Anyways  the more you bastardize a story, the more you ruin it.  I admit, timothy Zahn is probably the best, but still the concept of an expanded universe is terrible.  It's like have 32000000 gods (no offence to hindu's) but  for a story, its trippy and just a mess.
