Only three times that I can remember. Once while I was reading a Left Behind book, then when Anakin Solo died, and when Mara died. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

I literally went through the stages of grief. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

In the days when I do accept it, I get too mad to function. Is it a sign of mental issues that I get this torn up over a fictional character? But Star by Star was still one of the most epic books of the NJO. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

But Star by Star was still one of the most epic books of the NJO. It was the first death that brought me to reality. I was sad when Chewie died because of his status as a classic but Anakin and Han are my favorites and when he died it was...it brought Star Wars away from the classic feel and hit me with something darker and it let me know that they're no longer afraid to kill characters that are in the spotlight. It also let me know that George is still in charge and what he says goes, no matter how ridiculous. I'm still not over his death. I don't know if I'll get over it. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

As much as I love reading all the EU books, I can't pick up one from Legacy era without sighing and thinking how much better it would surely be if Anakin had lived. Wow......I really need to let this go. But I don't want to. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

Wow......I really need to let this go. But I don't want to. Well, the DN travisty and the whole poorly thought out LotF series would never have happened if Anakin would've died, and if they'd have been smart enough not to kill him then they probably would've been smart enough not to make him the one to turn. Jacen could've still been the one captured and the one to kill Onimi at the end of NJO, he could've done the 5 year journey, and a lot could've been the same but the shining light of the Order could've lived, Tahiri's sanity would've been ok, and the Killiks would've been pushed into the background. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

But I suppose there's no use moping about it. It only makes me bitter. Back to the original subject of great EU moments, I loved the bit in Traitor where Jacen sees Anakin's Force ghost. And, yes, I do tend to believe that it really was Anakin. But part of the reason that it's great is because no one can really prove whether it was him or not. It was sort of left up to the reader. Interesting. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

And if we're talking NJO, let's not forget Corran's duel with Shedao Shai in Ruin. Even if it didn't turn out so well for Ithor. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

Caedus_16 Master Joined: 15 Apr 2008 Posts: 4421 Location: Korriban Yeah that was so cool!!! Honestly I think the book Traitor just counts as a favorite moment as a whole, because rarely do we get one that perfectly written. And one of my other favorites are the Luke/Shimmra fight and the Jacen/Onimi fight in TUF. Amazing _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

How about in Wild Space when Obi-Wan gets knocked off his speeder bike (or whatever it was, I don't have the book handy) and is about to get up close and personal with Coruscant's pavement and the thought that goes through his mind is " Oh my. This is going to hurt quite a lot". Don't know why, but it cracked me up. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.
