Star Wars novels rant...

I was looking at the synopsis for Blood Oath and found that they killed Jacen Solo off...gee, thanks. It was bad enough when they did it with Chewie and then Anakin Solo but Jacen too? (AKA Darth Caedus or something...) Arggh - I hate Legacy of the Force and anything beyond it. Why do they have to insist on butchering the Star Wars universe? Lucas, we may have hated what you did with Revenge of the Sith, but it's nothing compared to what these stupid authors have done. Perhaps I should just look at them as fan fiction and pretend they haven't really happened!
