cough "Not at all" would be a nice answer, too. cough

Yeah, the pub dates for Outbound Flight and Dark Lord have been swapped... Dark Lord is now coming out in November (or Oct? I'm at home and can't remember..) and Outbound Flight has been pushed to February.

Oh no! I understand the reasoning I guess...but that's kind of disappointing for those of us looking forward to Outbound Flight.

(cont.)

This means one of 3 things:

1. Yoda returned to Polis Massa after Naboo to stow away on this freighter, and thus the ICS story is still true.

2. The Polis Massan pod was taken on the Tantive IV, meaning Yoda still used it but the story is different.

3. Yoda was dropped off in the Tantive IV, meaning that the Polis Massan escape pod and its story are apocryphal.

Which is the official line?

About the ROTJ novelization.. I have some thoughts but I was hoping for more solidarity in my mind. I know much of what Obi Wan says in ROTJ about Padme has to be looked at from a certain point of view.. and that clearly Leia and Luke could both be having images from some sort of force connection with Padme and that is why they remember her. My question is this.. am I to believe it is simply a force connection implied.. or is there something more to this story of Padme and her children?

Knowing that the OT was written so long ago.. I could just write it off as an inconsistency.. but some wise person around these parts told me that most of the EU could in fact be explained without losing much in the way of timeline/and or storyline. So I would like to know if I am headed down the right path of knowledge.. or if I should be searching in a different direction for how Leia and Luke remember Padme in the EU.

The omnibus is a trade paperback, that bigger sized one... something like 4 x 7... you know. The individual mass market paperbacks will also be coming out. I don't remember the dates right off the top of my head.... but will post again on Monday.

Where was the picture, eddie?

Because, technically, he's not doing anything more illegal than real, legitimate fan sites. Everyone with a fan site is using George Lucas's intellectual property without permission.

True.

However, Supershadow is not just using Lucas's intellectual property as mine, and everyone else's fansites are doing. Supershadow has done many other questionable things, including impersonate George Lucas. See HERE. The page I linked to is a supposed Q & A session with George Lucas himself giving the answers. There is no disclaimer saying that it is satirical. SS clearly wants his readers to believe that Lucas really did write those answers. Now I'm not a lawyer so I may be wrong, but I would think that Supershadow could be shutdown for impersonating George Lucas.

Which brings me to another point, I'm very glad to see the Original Trilogy novelisations reissued as separate books again, and I love the cover art taken from the DVD cover designs.

Was this announced somewhere?

I just received the first pass page proofs for THE UNSEEN QUEEN. For the page counters, it's 333 pages.

I love it when the page count is such a nice number! It must be in honor of Episode III. Of course, it'll probably change... but it's still awfully satisfying.

I just saw the announcement of the Omnibus Edition of LoE and ROTS, will that be a hardcover or a trade paperback? And will both eventually be available as separate mass-market paperbacks?

Which brings me to another point, I'm very glad to see the Original Trilogy novelisations reissued as separate books again, and I love the cover art taken from the DVD cover designs. Is there any hope that the prequel novelisations will be reissued with DVD-case covers to form a "matched set" of film novelisations?
