I didn't even notice they were making more SW novels until suddenly they had 400 of them.I read the Boba Fett trilogy of novels, and they were beyond horrible, so I never bothered with more.Ep 1 & 2 have been fine. I don't think Portman was that bad in Ep1, but in Ep2, she was very wooden and vacant. Ep 1 she was either the controlled demeanor of the Queen, or the somewhat submissive maid act. Ep2, she was just Portman standing around trying to appear in character.What bugs me about 1 & 2 is the reliance on CGI... and it's horrible CGI! Compare to Lord of the Rings, Jar-Jar vs Gollum. The AT-AT's in Empire were one of my fondest childhood memories, but if they were done in Ep1 & 2's style, I'd probably not even notice them.The alien races are horrible looking, and I specifically detest alien languages based around accents. Why is Anakin wasting his time building a translator droid if everyone speaks the same language?KotOR1 is great, and captures some of the adventure of the original series, though the cortosis weave weapons are a little out of place, I understand why they exist. KotOR2 is not as good, but still has a good feeling of adventure IMO.Ep 1 & 2 just don't capture that adventure, nothing happens based on main characters skills to me.Jango Fett was horrible. Boba Fett's main contribution may have been to fall into a big pit, but he still ranks higher than Jango!</blockquote>
