I'm a big Star Wars fan but have not seen the Clone Wars Series for the same reason as Dooge.

It's tolerable. A little too "kiddie" for me, and not a big fan of the animation style. Do like the stories though, keep it on DVR to watch.

Although last weeks Jar-Jar focused episode was brutal to watch.

And yes, I was 11 when the original came out and saw it three times in July '77. yeah, I'm old...get off my lawn.

Karen Travis has done some good work lately. As I mentioned above, the Clone Wars shorts from a few years back are well worth a look if your a fan!

Yep, I like the Republic Commando series. That's Karen Travis at her best! Death Star was pretty good, different perspective on the whole planet killing space station thing. Unique book. I'd also recommend the the two Darth Bane books, excellent reading for sure!

What's Death Star about? (other than the Death Star, I'm not that ignorant).
Don't spoil it for me, but does it involve well-known characters?

No. It tells the story of a couple of different normal people that work on board it.

those were good. But i have to say that the second read like it was a little rushed into printing.

the third one should be good as they are taking their time writing it.

I STRONGLY recommend the Republic Commando series of books. Some of the best SW books i have read.

If you really want me to destroy Star Wars for you, look up the Star Wars christmas special.

Here it is:
