The X-Wing series was a fun read, but I'm not sure how well it would translate to film because the scope would be too far-ranging for the limited scope needed for a film script. I've only read the first couple of Vong books and haven't yet read the Legacy series (I'll get to them next year).<br /><br />That said, I would much prefer something that explores the universe outside of the Skywalker dynasty - there's some 25000 years of Old Republic history to mine that could be more effectively mined. The "Knights of the Old Republic" comics could be really great on screen, IMO.Dale Smithhttp://www.routineproceedings.com/noreply@blogger.com
