You know my opinion of Death Star ;), but I never really had the problem with the Jedi Academy Trilogy that many others did. Part of it may be that I read it as a teen, but who knows? Just means I need to reread all the books in order! LOL

Stymie, you are so mean ;) Nah, just jk
Oooh, Medstar dulogy is a good one! I loved ER in space. In fact, I love all the recent attempts to make Star Wars more than Empire + Superweapon + Han, Luke, Leia

LOL. I especially liked the way the two doctors from the Corellian system sounded likse STAR WARS versions of Hawkeye and Pierce from MASH...Tolk being like Hot Lips at the 4077th.

I just recently started to watch Mash (I know, bad me) and now I want to see the similarities! No problem with me, I wouldn't mind re-reading the MedStar dulogy one bit!

And Dr. Vondar's great-uncle, Admiral Erel Kersos reminded me of Colonel Potter for some reason.

Jan 14, 2009 1:17 PM | Report Abuse reply

There isn't anyone in the Medstar duology who reminds me of Klinger.
