Star Wars: The Old Republic – Revan
The Old Republic – Revan is a really good start to what will hopefully be a series of books that detail the clash of the Sith Empire and The Old Republic culminating into Darth Bane’s final solution to the Sith conundrum – The Rule of Two. Since Revan is written by Drew Karpyshyn, I have

I call B.S.! Star Wars: The Old Republic – Deceived
First of all, if all of the Star Wars books were episodes of a television show then The Old Republic – Deceived would be the episode where nothing really happens and you’re left wondering, “why did the writers even bother – oh yeah, the money.” Seriously, if these books were Family Guy, this book would
