    Oh God I think I remember that book. Or I at least saw the cover. One of my friends was a huge fan of those books and had every single one. And invariably he would do something stupid and get in trouble for hitting his younger brother and he’d get banned to his room. And I couldn’t abandon my friend because that would be rude. So I’d just hang out in there with him read all the back covers of his books while he pouted.

      Even the blurb was bad and the book itself was even worse. It was a direct deliberate attempt to cash in on the sparkle vampire fad, Star Wars edition. It came out not long before the Disney takeover eradicated the old EU into “Legends” status and in “Twilight of the Jedi’s” case it was a mercy kill.

        Oh that’s definitely way after the stuff I was familiar with. I do remember all the hooting and hollering when they shitcanned the EU and I was glad to stay out of it.
