I need to go back and re-read those... I just realized its been 20 years since that first Zahn book came out... damn. I read that first one the summer of '92.

Thanks for making me feel old. :)

For me, it was December 1993 when I read the first one, laying on the beach at Bellows Air Force Base in Hawaii. I remember because I couldn't go home for Christmas that year.

Good lord, I hope they don't bring Mark Hamil back as Luke...

http://movies.yahoo....-221654367.html

Entertainment Weekly sat down with Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy. Hamill revealed that he and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) had lunch with George Lucas in August. Lucas told them that he was planning to make another trilogy. "When he said, 'We decided we're going to do episodes VII, VIII, and IX,' I was just gobsmacked," Hamill said. Still, he had no idea the director was planning to sell his company. "Oh my gosh, what a shock that was," Hamill said.

This is some good news though...

"It was originally a 12-part saga," Pollock said. "The three most exciting stories were 7, 8, and 9. They had propulsive action, really interesting new worlds, new characters. I remember thinking, 'I want to see these three movies.'" He did say that the three films feature Luke Skywalker in his 30s and 40s. No other details were given due to a confidentiality agreement Pollock signed.

When it comes to who will direct the films, that's anybody's guess. Danny Boyle would make a nice choice. He directed the under-seen sci-fi flick "Sunshine." Steven Soderbergh would surely make an interesting film set in a galaxy far, far away. If producers want to go with a blockbuster kind of guy, how about James Cameron or Steven Spielberg? Other possibilities that would likely be met with approval (again, we're just guessing): Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson. Notice we did not include Michael Bay?

Director - Brad Bird.

Books: The first Han Solo books by Brian Daley set the bar. Great characterization, action, plot, etc - the second one "Han Solos Revenge" is a bit meh, but the first and the third really capture the feel of that universe, which is amazing considered they were written in the 70s before everything got huge.

The "Han Solo Trilogy" is pretty great as well as it does a great job telling Hans backstory.

Splinter of the Minds Eye is a great book, screw the continuity. It was Alan Dean Fosters reward for ghostwriting the Star Wars novelization.

The whole Yhuzan Vong series (sp?) is for the most part really well done, give yourself a year to read it though.

      Ian Rapoport: "Don't expect the Panthers to Draft QB early in the draft"

      Megatron reincarnated. Pair him with Bryce and watch the touchdowns pile up.

      How many clutch chances did he have in this game? How many short fields? How many drives did he come up clutch? How many passes did he deliver to keep those drives alive? Clutch drives are opening drive, 2 minute drive at half, opening drive in 3Q, comeback drives in 4Q, 4 minute drive to close out a lead in 4Q, short field drives on TO, and GWD. This is why you pay a QB at the pro level. Otherwise, just get an inexpensive Sam Darnold type, stack defense and double down on the running game to carry the QB. Young tanked the opening drive (scripted). Stalled on 2 drives in the final 2 minutes of 2nd half (one was a short field TO chance). Came up empty on the opening drive of the 2nd half. Failed on another short field after a TO. A 3 and out in 4Q while trailing. A go ahead drive for a TD in 4Q with 3 minutes to go. Left too much time on the clock for a 3 point lead. 1 for 7 on clutch drive opportunities & only 2 of 26 completions that resulted in a TD drive. Is this a winning QB, nevermind a championship QB? Consistent success? We can all agree he was inconsistent in the redzone. 3 of 9 for 21 yds and 0 TDs. 1 rushing TD. 4 redzone visits. Is this your standard for a franchise QB? I can't change any goalpost when we're staring at the hard facts and not ignoring everything but the few highlights you're gripping tight to. He is the QB and needs to CONSISTENTLY step up in these moments to be considered a franchise QB. Unless that franchise wants to be a perennial losing organization. The stats and drives would tell us Young was a factor in the loss given his opportunites. Drive enders outside of Young were Hubbard, Moore, Ekwonu, and Hunt. Moore, Ekwonu and Hunt were only responsible for ending 1 drive each. 13 total drives. Young and Hubbard were responsible for killing 8 drives. 27% of drives need to be TDs to be a good team. The Panthers offense led by Young and Hubbard were at 15.4% against the Bucs. Panthers were 17.4% for TD conversion before today and that will be lowered. The Panthers offense was slightly above Giants and Browns level of offensive production against the Bucs. That is a clear perspective of where the key offensive leaders, Young and Hubbard, stand as an offense. Coker, Thielen, and J.Sanders have been successful as receivers, but there is no core leader at receiver with Johnson still being the most targeted receiver going into today's game. The offense converted TDs at a higher rate (20%. Better than the Steelers/Texans and just under the Vikings) with Dalton at QB absent Thielen. Keep that in mind too. Bryce Young highlights and moral victories mean nothing going into year 3. He has every drive to prove himself better than back up QBs in their 30s. Bring performance based numbers and splits to prove these numbers insignificant. He's not going to be ready to compete in the league at a playoff level for at least 4 more years based on his numbers and low rate of improvement. The defense will have to carry a QB on Young's sub par level to win.

      Legette is killing us

      Hubbard was seen as a jag who couldn't block and couldn't catch a cold. Now he's our offensive focal point. Now he had a killer fumble but he put in the work and now he's a viable 3 down rb. If x does the same he can have the same trajectory.  He gets open. He's a rz target. He just needs to catch the damn ball. Spend the offseason on the jugs machine and we'll go from there
