At one level they were (of course) designed to appear familiar to people who knew the original characters. But on another, you really had to know the <em>characters</em> of the characters to get the most out of them. And that meant following (many, if not all of) the intervening novels. I don't know whether I'd class myself as a "Warsie" (although I do have a friend...), but I did and do enjoy the <em>Star Wars</em> novels. Not all of the authors are great, but some are very good indeed. In some ways I'm not surprised you didn't connect with the early NJO books.
