"Bad jedi policy no sex was!" - Yoda Upon learning that lack of noogie drove Anikin to marry Padme, have sex, concieve children, and hide this from the order in order to remain a Jedi. "If only the Jedi were allowed to have sex then perhaps none of this would have ever happened Master." - Obi Won

52 Upon reading Atrocities statement you wonder if your sister counts.

(warning the below are rated PG-13 for mild retardation and extreem redneckism)
52b. Upon reading AT's statement you make a "handle your own lightsaber" joke.

52c. If your a girl you make the 52b joke except in reference to "I wonder if lightsaber's vibrate".

BTW you'd figure the Jedi could learn to uh you know....polish their own lightsabers

Or they learn to polish each others light saber like the Spartans did.

Meh that falls under sex

Although that was a lame *** rule "No marriage no sex" think about it if you let the Jedi marry the Lady Jedi or "Jediettes" you get more little Jedi which means you don't have to search the galaxy for a few thousand per generation and instead you could both search the galaxy AND get more "in order" Jedi births which means more younglings and a proportionally larger Jedi force.

Anyway I like the New Jedi Order as far as I can see it in the games I haven't actually been able to read the books but I hear they actually kick ***.

I've read most of the New Jedi Order books, and I like them. There are a few exceptions, but most of them are very well written. One of the major differences from previous books is that the "must live" list of characters seems severely reduced, and a fair number of those still on it are largely peripheral characters in most of the books. This means there is actually the occasional moment of suspense where you really do wonder whether a particular protagonist is going to make it out alive. In particular, there are enough Jedi now that being one doesn't automatically put you on the list of characters that can't die. Heck, it doesn't even guarantee that you'll be a major character any more; at least two Jedi get knocked off in the same scene where they're introduced.

Sounds interesting could you PM me a full list of the New Jedi Order books?

Please avoid posting spoilers here, NullAshton, especially in response to someone who has already stated he hasn't read the books.

The New Jedi Order series starts with Vector Prime by R. A. Salvatore. The rest of the books were written by several different authors, most good, some less so, but the general plot is quite good. If you decide partway through a particular book that it's not very good, you should still finish it to avoid missing plot points that will be important in later, better books. The full list is:

Vector Prime
Dark Tide I: Onslaught
Dark Tide II: Ruin
Agent of Chaos I: Hero's Trial
Agent of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse
Balance Point
Recovery (e-book, included in the paperback version of Star by Star)
Edge of Victory I: Conquest
Edge of Victory II: Rebirth
Star by Star
Dark Journey
Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream
Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand
Traitor
Destiny's Way
Ylesia (e-book, available for download at sw.com)
Force Heretic I: Remnant
Force Heretic II: Refugee
Force Heretic III: Reunion
The Final Prophecy
The Unifying Force
