FInally, a forum and others who have as much passion for the novels as I do. I actually cried when Chewie died, I know its surprising, but I actually felt like I lost a friend too. I haven't read the novel yet where Ani Solo dies, but I'm getting there, I know its in Star by Star, don't worry, you guys didn't ruin it for me. Personally I can't think of a better person in the novels to become the newest Sith Lord than Jacen Solo. On top of it all, he's doing it for all the right reasons. I've heard the comment that the \"road to Hell is paved with good intentions\" Its kind of where I see it going. I pose this question to you though, do you think he'll be killed in the end, or redeemed? You know good will triumph in the end, but which way is the true question. I don't think he'll square off with Ben, it seems that would be too easy for him, he'd crush Ben. Jacen is almost as good with a lightsaber as Luke is supposed to be, but younger. I personally think it will be with Jaina his sister, the \"Sword of the Jedi\". I believe thats what that little prophecy is leading too. I haven't read the newest one yet, INFERNO I think it is, so please don't ruin any details of that one. I should be getting it soon.
As far as good books to read for actual learning value, I agree with the ones already stated by KeiranHalcyon. Especially \"I, Jedi\" another good one that I feel is a great learning experience, which I totally didn't expect was \"Path of Darkness\" the story of Darth Bane and how he came to the rule of two and such. I have not read all of them, by anymeans, but I'm trying, since they keep coming out with them its hard to make headway.
All of these books follow the saga, there are some good ones that are prequal, obviously \"Path of Darkness\" is a prequal to pretty much all the other books and the movies.
Perris, what did you expect of Solo kids, look at Han. Sure they have the Skywalker genes as well, but they aren't exactly little angels either, so you put the two together and you get hellyuns!
