Speaking of Young Jedi Knights, I liked that series.  It’s written by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.   A couple friends of mine who read it didn’t really like it, but I thought it was pretty good.  Though the last book in the series felt like it left things hanging, I’m guessing it was planned to go further, but by that time the New Jedi Order was coming out.  I haven’t had a chance to read that series yet, but I really want to.  Lots of stuff happens that deeply affects the Star Wars universe, including the death of a key character from the movies.

The main characters in this series are the son and daugher of Han Solo and Leia Organa-Solo, Jacen and Jaina who are twins, Chewbacca’s nephew Lowbacca, and the daugher of the Prince and his new bride in the previous book I talked about, Tenel Ka.  It’s an obvious attempt to get younger readers into the Star Wars universe, and I thought it was a pretty good one.  Though some of the moralizing bits are a bit “after-school special-ish” XD  Good stuff though, and nice quick reads.
