Jaina was my favorite too! I was in middle school when I started reading it, and the series felt like mine because my Dad and my brothers were not interested in reading it. I have read other books in the EU (although it was probably been at least 15 years since I read one) so I am not totally in the loop, but it is VERY discouraging for Disney to say, nope, doesn't exist anymore! However, I went to see The Force Awakens with no expectations and I really enjoyed it! Yes, I see the parallels with some of the EU books, but I was able to enjoy it as its own story. Maybe because I was not invested as much in the EU. My Dad was meticulous about his Star Wars books, and when he passed away six years ago, as the big reader of the family (and the fact that my husband is also a huge Star Wars fan) his collection became mine. I have about ten boxes of books! I want to start reading them again, starting with Heir to the Empire (another favorite).

I would definitely be disappointed if I had invested in all of those and the movies didn't follow them at all. Very frustrating!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a>Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.com
