Reaching way back into the 70s bringing up a old discussion i think was in this topic...
Having gotten back around to listening to New Jedi Order, I can say it does pick up. Some drop offs. That teen angst garbage messed up the movies, so they should've known it'd do the same to the books. But, all in all, not as bad as I thought. Did feel like they dumbed everybody down to make the kids the main characters though.
