Everything in this battle is ridiculous! When Leia is hit, two

Why didn't they shoot? It was in the middle of a battle.
Palpatine said to Luke his friends on Endor will die, so the
stormtroopers were ordered to kill.
Well and if not, they could have stunned them.
I really hate the Battle of Endor... if there wouldn't be that

user: You are replying to All about "The "star Wars" Books By".

Write your reply.

assistant: This is mostly a reply to Brandon's Star Wars Books message....I agree
that the books (many...MOST) are very poorly written. I have and am
reading them, though, because sometimes the stories interest me. I have
noticed that, no matter what book or what author you read, Luke will
get pummelled nearly to death 99.99% of the time. I thought it was
kinda cool at first, but then I was like, "Come on!" Not that it
couldn't happen, and likely would to a Jedi battling "evil" opponents,
but it does get tiresome.
Also, if the books are from an/many alternate timelines, I agree that
the authors should kill off Chewie or maybe Leia or something. It could
be like Marvel Comics's "What If?" series. I read somewhere that Luke
(in the books) was turned to the Dark Side. Why not make a series of
books that have him turn to the Dark Side for good? He'd be the new
Emperor, starting out as a part good, part bad dude, evolving into a
Palpatinesque character, maybe even parallelling the movies and having
him try to turn Leia or something. I mean, we're told the books aren't
"real", so why not go all out and have some fun?

Well in my opinion James Earl Jones IS Darth Vader. His voice and the mask

born that suit, it doesn't really say much of Prowse's acting talent. In my
opinion he is about as important to the Movies as Kenny Baker, that is not
very important at all. On the other hand, I certainly don't think of
Sebastian Shaw either when I think of Vader; it's James Earl Jones and no one
else.

I feel like I should smack you. These are people who (hopefully)  like Star
Wars enough that they want to continue the adventures. I feel that writing
Star Wars stories really professes a love for SW, and I myself have written
many stories about the Empire. If you don't care about the stuff that happens
in the books, don't give us crap about it. Either just go back and watch the
movies over and over again, or just write your own stories. I, for one, love
Daala and Thrawn, but I must concede to your point that there is a certain
monotony of the books, that they follow the same premise, but then, write
your own like I am! I just want to get that off my back.
