Whaaat? You haven't read the most recent Zahn novels? Get on that! They're not as big in scope, but I love them. Even Outbound Flight, which broke my heart.
I like focus on people who were minor in the films, or new ones, and I really like having clones be actual people, but Traviss's Jedi-hate and Mandalorian-love really grated on me. And what she did to Scout. And what she did to Mara. *shrug*
