Undead-bitchface!Jacen Solo is my hero.
The Star Wars Extended Universe is actually a big competition to see who can get the stupidest shit published.
- Heir to the Empire: clone named Luuke Skywalker.
- Dark Empire: the Emperor comes back to life in clone bodies and turns Luke evil.
- The Crystal Star: blob creature from another universe that tries to eat Luke.
- New Jedi Order: a sentient planet that uses the Force and pretends to be Anakin Skywalker.
- Dark Nest Trilogy: time travel.
- Betrayal: kid brought back to life in a robot body.
- Legacy comics: bringing people who just died back to life. Also, "Bantha Rawk Skywalker."
- Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor: the book is actually fanfic written in-universe.
- Omen: teleportation.
- Abyss: people who hibernate forever called "Mind Walkers" who abandon their bodies floating between two black holes... and the phrase "IT'S NOT MY TENTACLE FRIEND." Visiting the world of the dead.
I look forward to the Fate of the Jedi round robin team coming up with even crazier shit as the series progresses. After all, twelve in-universe years and twenty books since Star-by-Star, Troy Denning is still wants to bring Anakin Solo back to life via time travel...

NJO's quality varies. Vector Prime was terrible. But the Edge of Victory duology (which treats Anakin and Tahiri SO WELL. Also, Ikrit from Junior Jedi Knights is in there, rofl), Star-by-Star, The Final Prophecy, and The Unifying Force were all pretty good... and Traitor is probably the best-written, most beautiful book in the SW EU. IIRC, you can skip all the paperbacks and just get the plot from the hardcovers (Vector Prime, Balance Point, Star-by-Star, Destiny's Way, Final Prophecy, Unifying Force). If you're ever interested, drop me a line and I'll hook you up with ebooks.
