    So a question that has plagued the galaxy for over thousand generations...

    Are you a Jedi like your father before you or a patron of the dark side (we have cookies)?

    Hand weapons that ignore armour, regeneration and ward saves! Also probably wound on a 2+ (or automatically) and confer ASF!!!

    hahaha... well Darth Maul has a double-edged lightsaber... that would be a pole-arm... best warhammer representation of that would be a halberd or spear!

    Precisely, and a quarterstaff is a pole arm without a weapon/projectile at the end. In this case though the ends are lightsabers, so it like a pole-arm. Not quite a spear or a halberd of course, but those are the closest warhammer equivalents I can think of.

    In terms of a guard in the middle, that is pretty tough with lightsabers... unless they use something like cortosis.

    It would have to be Jedi, I guess, but only then because Sith in Star Wars are so... erratic. Whilst I think the idea of the Sith is fantastic conceptually, being the antagonists in practically every Star Wars story ever means that you get a wide variety of characters that ultimately devalues any coolness factor. Probably the only interesting Sith are Palpatine, Vader and Traya (well, any character in KOTOR2, really). Everyone else tends to descend into mustache-twirling, puppy-killing, two-dimensional villains. Especially in SWTOR.

    LOL. Cortosis is mined lightsaber resistant material. :) No Tortoises were harmed in the making of this material!

    Yeah? I hear that a lot, but I couldn't get through the first book. I found him to be borderline Mary Sueish, but it might just have been that the novel was poorly written (I recall there being lots of smirking from the other Sith characters. Ugh). Then again, I've yet to see a pre-Rule of Two Sith society that passed the credulity test.

    Now Darth Traya, Nihilus or Sion? Those are Sith I can get behind.

    I've read all three books of the Bane trilogy and enjoyed them all, but the first book was my favourite. I personally thought it was very well written with excellent character development and progression. I especially loved the way the Sith are described and developed, and the description of lightsaber combat (and the role of the force throughout) is spectacular. But to each their own. If you didn't enjoy the first book, then you probably wouldn't like the next two.

    Another great set of Star Wars books is the Thrawn trilogy. That is usually regarded as the best of the extended universe.

    For good reason!

    I'm also partial to Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron.

    They are quintessential Star Wars: adventure, humour, heroics, dastardly villains with their Machiavellian plots and, refreshingly for Star Wars fiction, make use of side characters or introduce brand new ones, instead of relying on Han/Luke/leia.

    If I was to make a comparison to Warhammer fiction, it would be Gaunts Ghosts
