Mace fecking Windu?! I figured Han vs Vader in the final.
I saw that the other day - I made it out to be a Mace Windu v Vader finale.
In the last three months I have read
Rogue Squadron
Wedge's Gamble
Krytos Trap
Bacta War
Wraith Squadron
Iron Fist
Solo Command
Courtship of Princess Leia
Heir to the Empire
Dark Force Rising
Last Command
Isard's Revenge
Jedi Search
Dark Apprentice
Champions of the Force
Starfighters of Adumar
Before the Storm
because I'm a popular attractive successful guy.
Am I missing something here? Why are you putting Mace in the same league as Yoda/Luke?
Anyways, just saw Yoda thrashed Windu, so he's out.
Started reading those books as a kid.. have read pretty much every EU book released till about 2011
I don't think Han would beat Obi Wan or Luke/Yoda/Mace
As for Mace, having read a bunch of the EU books he's probably slightly less powerful in the force but a better swordsman than Yoda.
I basically intend to go sequentially until I run out of stuff to read in a few years. The best of them have been Aaron Allston's books easily.
If you haven't read yet, I would highly recommend to read Darth Plagueis, the best Star Wars novel for a while. It finally gives the story of 'Darth Plagueis the Wise', how Anakin was created and a lot of back-story of Palpatine (showing even the human side of it).
It's on my list once I've finished the New Republic era stuff - I'm still working through the Black Fleet Crisis, which starts slow but gets quite good.
I'm considering missing out on the New Jedi Order stuff - I read a couple of them entirely out of sequence when I was a kid and it never really took me in. The standard of writing takes a massive hit after George Lucas decided what he wanted to do with the prequels of the franchise. All the stuff written in the early-mid 1990s is generally good (Jedi Academy trilogy, Thrawn trilogy, Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, X-Wing series) but once the hype train kicked in it suddenly became a bit bad.
The only thing that might make me go further forward is that Allston writes some of the NJO and Legacy books, and is an amazing author.

The Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy was absolutely amazing. I'd honestly put it alongside the Thrawn Trilogy (and above Jedi Academy, Hand of Thrawn Duology, Corellian Trilogy etc) as the best trilogy of that kind.
That's got to be the one of the only series in the EU I've not actually read (except the prequel stuff because I hate the prequels). For some reason it never appealed to me, I think I tried reading it once and got bored.
They haven't even started shooting and you want a trailer!
There isnt even a cast. And the head writer is gone now too.They haven't even started shooting?! It gets worse!

Sounds like there is a modern classic in the making!And they apparently want to delay it to 2016 but Disney won't let them.
This deal is getting worse all the time?
I find your lack of faith disturbing
