The only thing that bothers me about this book is that there was too much revelation about Anakin to Leia.  Then at the end Luke was just "Oh, yeah, I knew all of that, but I was just keeping it all secret".  
I think with this much revelation all at once, it sort of affects perceptions in previous novels that take place chronologically after this story.  They should have saved some of it for later and just delved deaper into some of it.

If you want truely crappy Star Wars Novels, you need to read the Six stories by Paul and Holace Davids.  These really suck and you will then come to enjoy Truce at Bakura as a Literary masterpeice afterwards.

I  wish Hasbro would do promotions like this.  Havn't had anything since the Kenner buy-out.  It was things like this send away that hlped get a lot of us back into the hobby.
I think it only took two upc's and a coupleof dollars to get him, I would have to dig through and find one of the bags to be sure.

Well, we all know that Skywalker stops thinking rationally when he starts letting his emotions take controll, and Kenobi is just too damn smooth to get flustered.   That or Skywalker tries the suicide way out and the Emperor "forces" him to stay alive.

The only two I never found at retail where the Darktrooper and the Spacetrooper, I think I paid 10$ apeice for them on E-bay back in 99', MOC, of course I opened them like I do everything.

If you have any commtech chips at all, you have to have a reader, for the novelty of it if nothing else,  just like the binocular slide viewer.

Yeah he was a peg warmer around here too.  Good thing most collectors know what actual variations are out there.  Something like that would have made news a long time ago.
