In the case with Star Wars, the movie inspired the books. So that's a little different. They're different stories. And in this case specifically, it's not even a movie, but a cartoon show. How many people will say a cartoon show is better than the book? Regardless, I'm wondering what GL's aim is with these pacifist Mandos. Is he trying to make Boba Fett that much cooler by making him the only non-pacifist Mandalorian? Or is it just a whim? I think the funny thing is, if this stuff gets carried away, they'll have to write another Boba Fett retcon novel. _________________

I agree that the whole "book better than the movie thing" doesn't really apply here, because we are mostly talking about books that expand upon the movies. With one exception, the episode III novel is awesome. I won't say better than the movie(because also was awesome, I rank it behind only ANH and ESB). And I understand all the little emotional and point of view ideas in the novel couldn't really be played out in the movie. At this point I say I prefer the books, but that probably also has to do with how many times I've seen the movies. I'm 38 years old, so I've seen the OT flicks so many times I couldn't even possibly guess. With the books, at most I've re-read less than half of them.

The Ryloth thing was pointless, I agree, but I'm not pulling my hair out over it. _________________ Where sky and water meet, Where the waves grow sweet, Doubt not, Reepicheep, To find all you seek, There is the utter east.
