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...

"IT'S NOT MY TENTACLE FRIEND."

The description of official tie-in novels as "paid fanfic" has never been more apropos.

I actually liked "The Crystal Star" :x

... of course that's probably because I was in my "Young Jedi Knights" phase and I thought the twins (and Anakin? Was he in that book too? I can't remember :/) were kind of adorable. I skimmed through/entirely skipped all the parts about the plot with Luke and Han and Valerii or whatever her name was.
