Talk:Troy Denning

Hate to say it but the EU is pretty much dead thanks to Troy Denning and the recent authors. Lately it has all been about the authors writing for themselves and their own limited ideas rather than expanding on a great universe that was started by Timothy Zahn and others. I believe the last great chapter of the EU was the YV war. Denning and the like had to go and ruin a perfectly set up story arc with Jacen, (who could have been the most powerful villain) in a forgettable series followed by another forgettable series. What made Zahn's books great along with the early YV war series was that the future was still uncertain and the characters we know were trying to deal with it. There were still questions about the force and where everyone fit. Now its all about who ends up with who, who cracks silly one liners using made up curse words created by mediocre authors, and how the characters no longer resemble themselves. If you agree with me then write a letter to Sue Rostoni (Executive Editor at lucasfilm licensing), as I have done, and demand that the books either get back to being about Star Wars and expanding on what we know or stop being made. Star wars novels used to be more than fluff on the shelf.
