ZeeToo posted:There is a "Rogue Squadron" series, but it's comic books. "X-Wing" is a nine-book series, the first four of which (Rogue Squadron, Wedge's Gamble, The Krytos Trap, and The Bacta War) are specifically about Rogue Squadron. And the best way to kill a Dark Jedi ever. Slantedfloors fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jun 28, 2011 |

I've always just assumed that the plan was to jump out to the outskirts of the system, scan Hoth to find the base, then jump in closer and smash it before it could get any defenses online. Ozzel jumped in too close, and because he wasn't in the right position to immediately attack it gave the Rebels time to prepare.

Geddy Krueger posted:Another great EU antagonist was Zsinj (at least in the Wraith books, I never read Courtship), who, aside from building up an impressive network of capital organized in a manner similar to terrorist cells, enjoyed theater and acting just to screw with people, routinely putting on displays that would cause most observers to underestimate him. I think Zsinj works as a good villain because his plans, while perfectly Star Wars-y, are pretty understandable and usually rely on minimum of Deus Ex Machina, unlike Thrawn's painting-magic. He just sets up some pretty basic traps because they actually make sense. "Republic forces might get past our blockade and we can't track their evacuation route? gently caress it, let's plant a shitload of mines all over the loving place and rig them so they broadcast where they are when they explode." I mean, I think his most masterful tactic in the Wraith series basically amounted to "bring in a poo poo-ton of ships they don't know about".

Haledjian posted:I'm on the 4th book of the X-Wing series by Michael A. Stackpole. After this one it switches over to Aaron Allston as the author. I like the series so far, should I read Allston's books too or is it going to pull a West Wing on me?
