Anyone read any of the Star Wars books?

I love the Star Wars movies, and I love to read, and the other day at the bookstore I found an entire rack of books that are Star Wars stories. Are any of these any good? There were tons of series, things like Han Solo before he met Luke and Obi Wan, Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order after the empire was destroyed, etc. I kinda assume that they are crap and written for idiots and I demand more from my books than most. Has anyone read any of these and what do you think?

might get more answers if you put this in the book section of YA but I'll give my opinion. I used to read each Star Wars book that came out way back when but you're right, after the third or fourth time Luke's love interest got killed or misplaced or taken away 'just because' I got tired of the same old plot lines and bad writing. From what I've read - things haven't improved much. I have run across two series in the Star Wars universe however that I not only enjoy but I keep an eye out for. The first is the amazing trilogy written by Timothy Zane. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command. It takes place after the Return of the Jedi and includes all the beloved characters - Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, etc. Very well done, the characters stay true to themselves and yet grow as well, the plot is engaging with enough twists to keep things interesting, the ideas are new, and most important of all - he's an amazing writer. Very enjoyable and very satisfying. Think they came out in the early 1990s but they should still be easy to find. Recently I've enjoyed - starting by accident in fact - Karen Traviss' Republic Commando books. Hard Contact, Triple Zero and most recently, True Colors. They're set during the Clone Wars before order whatever number it was that killed the Jedi happened and the characters are mostly the clone troopers themselves. She catches the humanity of them, the innocence of them, the growth of them, the individuality of them and she also - so rare in a writer - catches the -military- part of them. I snatch up each new book in the series as it comes out and I haven't been disappointed. Granted - I also have been very careful not to read any of her other Star Wars books outside of the Republic Commando series because frankly I don't want to get dragged into a story line with a dozen different writers and I personally hate what I've heard they've let the 'beyond Jedi' universe go. Each of the Republic Commando books stands on its own however and it doesn't leave cliff hangers for me to have to worry if the writer is going to publish the next book or not.

Like I said, I haven't read much but those are the ones I have read and enjoyed. Cheers and good luck

How To Cash In With Private Label Articles

Not a lot of people know about the PLR articles, much less why they should pay attention to them. Give yourself the edge and find out why you should know all you can about PLR and how you can profit from them in the most efficient and effective way possible.

1. Saves time and effort.

You probably already know how much work and time it will take to write an article. On average, a single 700-word article will take about two hours to compose from scratch. If your intention is to create a website with over 50 pages, then you can see how daunting and time-consuming the task of simply writing content will be. PLR articles will save you this time and effort.

2. All credit goes to you.

You are under no obligation to credit the original author for PLR articles. As such, when you publish them on your website, no outbound links and advertisements will be there to distract your visitor/customer. All links will be focused on your brand and your affiliates.

3. Saves you money.

This point requires a different point from saving time and effort simply because of economics. Hiring writers to create content for your website averages about $15 per article. If your site were to hold even just 20 articles that you need to update regularly (say every two weeks), you'd see how the bill could add up.

But if you were to acquire PLR for a set of articles, you could save money because of the economics of scale. Articles are bought at bulk and as such it is possible to get your hands on 200 articles for only less than $30.

4. Editorial freedom.

You don't like how the article is written or the information it is presenting? PLR allows you to change the material right away without needing to ask permission from the writer.

This is also especially useful for optimizing your website for search engines since you can enrich the content with keyword phrases to improve your rankings in SERPs.

5. Create a brand for yourself.

Today, it's all about distinguishing yourself from the rest. PLR articles allow you to provide content that is both relevant and updated. By doing so you build a reputation with your target audience as an expert. And since people would much rather go with someone they trust, your chances of return visitors increases significantly.

6. Get professional results.

Many of the writers who offer articles with PLR are professionals and have access to the latest information regarding your field of interest. By acquiring the rights from them, you avail yourself of their professional results without having to retain their services regularly.

With one set of PLR articles and some creativity on your part, you can extend the life of the articles to the point where the content has more than paid for itself. So when sourcing out a supplier for PLR articles, ask for sample works to demonstrate the quality of articles you would be purchasing.

Now that you know why you should seriously consider getting PLR articles, here are some ways to get you started on profiting from them.

1. Compile a list or report.

You can consolidate a series of articles of a similar theme and package them as a report or listing of information. While you may think that anyone can do this, you'd be surprised how little of this is done.

Many people don't have the time to read or the willingness to read several articles at different times. Providing them a simplified version of the information they want will be a welcome offer for your visitors. You can either give away the report for free, sell it as your own product or use it as content on your website.

2. Use PLR content to create a series of small articles.

This is especially useful when producing material for an email campaign. A series is by far, one of the more effective ways to create a following with your audience.

Give enough to allow them a feel for what you're offering and hint at giving more of the same if they will subscribe to your mailing list. In turn, your emails promote your website by inviting them to visit you on a more regular basis.

3. Produce E-Books.

It is very possible for you to take a set of PLR articles and come up with an E-Book,for which you can credit yourself as the author.

Since you have created an entirely new product you could repackage this and sell this with your own resell rights. Just like you, there are people who are looking for material they can use for their own promotion needs so cater to this market as they are increasingly growing in number.

As you can see, using PLR articles are not only effective in providing truly useful content. They are also cost and labor-efficient, which means you can focus more of your time to more important matters, whether they are for business or otherwise.
