Title: Zahn's Trilogy Not Quite Worthy of the Star Wars Title
Review: Timothy Zahn's books "Heir to the Empire", "Dark ForceRising", and "The Last Command" are good books, don't get mewrong. I just don't think they measure up to the Star Warsmythos. Characterization is poor. All of the characterssound exactly alike. Without the phrases "said Luke" or "Hanshouted", I wouldn't have been able to tell one guy from theother. I found Han saying things that I just couldn'timagine Harrison Ford saying, and it was the same way withLuke, Leia, Lando, etc. Another thing that irked me was theway the characters kept finishing each other's sentences.After three books of this, one may become rather annoyed.Some of the original characters are uninteresting as well.While the plot was fast-paced and entertaining, the readerdoesn't get the full Star Wars experience. Zahn should havepaid more attention to characters and dialogue.
