I couldn't read those books because...ew D: Luke getting married to Mara-Jade SQUICKED me, even when I was a kid. And it didn't squick me because I was a slash fan, or wanted him to get together with a Sue or something.

I just...wanted Luke to be a single, ass-kicking Jedi. D: Jedi aren't supposed to love and get married--that's what killed ANAKIN SKYWALKER. And yet...Luke got married. D:

To a professionally-made Sue. D: It made me sad. Very, very sad. And sick. XP

And hey, we all write dumb sues when we're young. It's fun. XD Well it isn't now, but back then, when we were small children, it was awesome. I had one in my mind that was dating Link from Legend of Zelda back when I was ten. XD

Some of the books are great and some of them are horrible. It's a very mixed bag, IMO.

But I think it's kind of funny to see the authors all trying to undo each other's ships. Seriously. Like, one author will make it look like Lando and Mara hooked up, and then in some book down the line another author has them going
"wtf no we were undercover pretending to have a relationship!"

I found Mara likable enough as a character in the trilogy she first appeared in, but she can be pretty horrible depending on who's writing her. And I always liked how open-ended she and Luke were in the Thrawn trilogy, so when that opening got tied closed, I was kind of disappointed.

Yeah. D: The books were too weird for me, so I think I'll just stick with the movies. XD Even if George Lucas's directing in the new trilogy isn't that...great (D:), they're still good movies.

In my opinion, at least.
