I have it on tape from way back. Haven't heard it in years, since I don't even possess anything that plays tapes nowadays, but I remember how bad it was. Anthony Daniels reads it, and whilst Threepio sounds every bit like he should, his attempt at everyone else is quite shocking. Come on, can you imagine HIM doing Han? <br /><br />I also hate the way he can't pronounce Jacen properly.

The babies are cute I'm sure and certainly can table the discussion until later books. Figured as much about Jaina, but darn, it sure would be nice.<br /><br />Thanks, seams2be. You should have to try running out for preemie diapers. My daughter wasn't preemie, but when you're barely 6 lbs, everything is too big for you.<br /><br />Virgo12, I hear you on the EU. I have to admit after COPL, I didn't read much. I mostly have picked through the later EU books and read some things on Wookiepedia. There were some things I was curious about and would read that part of a book. From what I've read, I think what they've done is just so sad not sure I can even force myself to read all of them. Even my husband that has read most of the EU stopped because he was so tired of the Vong. Now there's some books I want to read with Tatooine Ghost, Shadows of Mindor, and the new Zahn books. And I encouraged my husband to read them too. I think the book club helped me to realize not all the EU is horrific. :)amara zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344117896874708549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-80689251031519648902012-01-23T14:36:48.123-06:002012-01-23T14:36:48.123-06:00Sorry late to comment on that line.....what a horr...Sorry late to comment on that line.....what a horrific thing to say!! I'm actually pretty stunned by that. And didn't Troy Denning write that?? Han would never say that, I don't care what anyone says.<br /><br />I haven't read Legacy of the Force or anything beyond that, but I know the plot more or less. Wasn't expecting that at all. Just awful. Ughh.<br /><br />There really are some awful things said out of character in the EU, but that's certainly near the top of the list. Infact it's probably worse than the horrific stuff Leia comes out with in the Chewbacca comic, and that one bothers me a lot.<br /><br />Yes you're right, twins very rarely go full term. Clearly Zahn knows nothing about child birth!<br /><br />It's interesting that in A Forest Apart (short story set a month before Tatooine Ghost) Han and Leia do not live in the same apartment as in The Thrawn Trilogy. It's a completely different place, and not in the Imperial Palace at all. Wookiepedia also backs this up. I wonder why they moved out? Hmm, maybe there wasn't room for Winter in the old place..lol!!!claire1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/04285049568087268653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-15374873806337075692012-01-23T12:21:14.505-06:002012-01-23T12:21:14.505-06:00I know it's awful.

It's so wrong on so many levels.<br /><br />This argument should probably be saved for that book much later. For now, the babies are new and cute and they seem to like them even if Winter is the one watching them all the time.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-55112300602425439312012-01-23T12:09:52.150-06:002012-01-23T12:09:52.150-06:00Oh my! that is just awful!

It's sad when Han and Leia talk about Jacen. I haven't quite figured out Jaina yet, she seems aloof. I'm terrified for the last book Ascension that comes out in March. How much more can Han and Leia and us take? <br /><br />Amara: yeah for your 6.5oz babies!

They were always off doing their Jedi stuff and Han was just that guy who happened to have gotten their mother pregnant but didn't have that much to do with them now. I don't know, maybe I'll read some stuff soon that will remind me, a lot of these books when the kids were regular kids I haven't read in a really long time.<br /><br />And don't have too much hope about Jaina and a normal life. There is this talk about how she is the "sword of the Jedi" or whatever that's supposed to mean, I don't know. But I doubt it means that she gets to marry Jag and get a nice, quiet life raising their kids on a quiet planet.Zyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860113813294303312noreply@blogger.com
