Fair enough. Though really it varied from Jedi to Jedi.
The only Mandalorians I've found myself really liking are Canderous Ordo and Fenn Shysa.
I just don't see why she'd get elected like that and treated like Thrawn-lite. It's like they were going to use the hinted-at Thrawn clone and then the editors went "Gah! Gah! Can't do that!"; Thrawn, at least, in every more recent mention, has people thinking he was Not That Bad, so I could sort of imagine that happening. But Daala never did anything to deserve that.
Madine sacrificing himself pointlessly like that was stupid. Damn thing didn't even work. I found the Darksaber basic concept, the Death Star stripped down to little more than the reaction chamber and the superlaser, an interesting one, but damn, that was not a good book.
