For a very long time, I have uphold that the similarities between these 2 
series are vast and huge.  Not to crit, Jo at all, bc it is a classic theme 
in all lit.  think Antigone and Oedipus Rex.  Anyways, I HAVE read the new 
Jedi Order books, and I even got away with writing a paper detailing the 
similarited between the 2 series, And i even got an A...but yes, for the 
star wars nuts among us, if you look into the New Jedi Order, and even the 
original Series, it will tell you how things go in Hp...maybe.  Anyways, 
think Chewie's death for future sacrifices.
