I suppose I was bothered by the possibility that my opinions on the one piece of the Extended Universe I had so much as looked at lately were starting to slide towards the ambiguous detachment I seem to have picked up about the books. Not only is there the whole "when so many others slide to one viewpoint without the slightest hesitation, am I the unobservant one?" question, I'm also uncertain if I simply react to suspicions that some people are fans of the Star Wars books but have turned on the movies by being fans of the movies and not caring about the books.

Still, I could at least take an academic interest in the animated series just perhaps taking a page from anime and offering "fanservice..." but for the ladies.
