Mara Jade incoming

I didn't know who it was before this. I've played most of the Star Wars games, but I haven't read the books.

I think there's also a generational thing. If you've only read a few books (and there are a lot of books, so who reads them all?) you're more likely to read ones that came out after you were 13 years old. If you were born in the late 80s or the 90s, you would have to read backward in time, not just whatever is on the bestseller shelf in the bookstore or the "hot, new!" shelf in the library.

And I'm not saying that no one does that, but I just think you're **more likely** to read the things on the bestseller/new shelves. I mean, there's a reason why they're on those shelves.

I'm not a huge SW nerd (really, I mean it!) but I've read 6 or 7 SW novels in my life and...except for the Darth Plagueis novel which I just read a couple months ago they were all ones that came out in the 90s. If Mara Jade had come out 10 years later or 10 years earlier I would probably have missed her, even if I had read the exact same number of SW novels.
