I tried (unsuccessfully) to get 'Heir to the Empire' as a book-of-the-month here early on - it never did well in the polls. Heh.
I remember reading it when it was first published and actually have a signed copy! But I haven't re-read it.

I didn't read a big chunk of the EU (90's - 00's).

I'm curious as to where the Ahsoka series is going as well. I also am thoroughly enjoying the ride! :)
