Rogue Planet

One of my favourite concepts in science fiction literature is that of the sentient planet - a planet that has evolved a global consciousness and even a personality. It's a great concept partially because, like the idea of time travel, it makes perfect sense if you accept it at face value, but the more you think about the details, the more mind-boggling and convoluted it gets.

The Star Wars EU has a sentient planet - Zonama Sekot, which we first met during the New Jedi Order series. This series, however, takes place 40 years or so earlier, and marks the first time that the Jedi encounter Sekot, and has lots of foreshadowing about Vegere and the Yuuzhan Vong, which was pretty cool. If anything, I would have liked more of that - ditch the Anakin and Obi-Wan stuff and focus entirely on Vegere and Sekot. That would have been cool.
