*shrugs* I picked up a few of the books. Some were fun, although they had their weird points. I really liked the ones about Jaina and Jacen for a while, but then... I don't know, I got the feeling the authors decided it was time to be gloomy. But I vaguely remember picking up some of the Zahn ones and being Very Bored, whereas when I watched Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones I was not Very Bored, so the movies are winning. ;)
