Thanks for the DP, Sue!

Does the subject of the homage (third name down) know yet? I wish we could all see the reaction.

I read the Death Star excerpt in the back of the Darth Bane paperback, and it was great. Both POV characters were spot on, IMO. Their attitudes toward others just leapt off the page. Love it! Really looking forward to the book.

Yep, this was the reason -- the one person covers just looked cooler.
Thanks for the answer, Sue! I figured that might be it. Poor Han and Leia, though, having to share a LOTF cover when no one else has to. (They got TJK and TUQ solo, I guess. ) I've got a sneaking suspicion I know who, for thematic reasons, is the likely candidate to be on the cover of Invincible -- but you could go in several different directions for Revelation. Can't wait to see who it is.

What were the mix ups with Paths of Destruction? I had the paperback copy???

Okay --- I'm finishing up the Death Star page proofs... have about a hundred left to go.

Here's the DP.

DM for the Death Star novel? lol im going with Tarkin and Vader....who else i wouldnt know for sure.

yeah Sue i cant wait for the last book as well.....i got a few questions to ask as well.

Speculation is always fun. But just like reading the books, if you don't do it with an open mind, you're going to end up defeating your own enjoyment...

Sue, before we get too far removed from "ideas to jot down to possibly blog about after LOTF is finished", I wanted to toss out one more: Way back when, you'd mentioned a tentative plan to have one character on LOTF book covers 1-3 & 7-9 and two characters on 4-6. I'd be curious to know if the plan was altered mainly for artistic reasons (like the concept designs just looking better with a single character) or for thematic or symbolic reasons. If you're willing, I'd really love to hear what the original tentative ideas were, and how the early ideas for 5-9 were affected when 5-6 became single character covers.

I imagine you might not want to answer until after we've seen the 8-9 covers, and perhaps even until after we've read the books. But I hope you'll keep it in mind for when you might be able to share.

Sue, I asked before how big a role Alema will play in Inferno, just to clarify I wasn't asking for plot details I meant will her roll be the size of her role in Tempest and Exile or like her role in Sacrifice or will it be somewhere in between?

There are full-cast audio dramas being produced in Germany, though, by WortArt, of Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, and Labyrinth of Evil.

You guys are doing an unbelievable job supporting the Fans across the pond. If those audio dramas come out during this 365 day anniversay celebration that would be an extra boon for all those die hard Star Wars lovers over seas not to mention my skillz in run on sentence'+ stry+.

Sue,

Just wondering, episodes, 4,5, and 6 were rewritten for radio (NPR) by the late Brian Daley (great production by the way). Just wondering if there are any plans for a radio drama for ep. 1, 2, and 3? Also, if there are plans for a radio drama, do you have any idea who the author(s) will be? Thanks.

Also, thanks for the DN edit.it really did just "turn down the heat a notch" (thank goodness!!) -Sorry I'm a true J/J shipper.

so hey.....why do people get al upset.....if you get answered by a VIP.....thats a bonus!

so i finally got the paperback edition of POD....and the Death Star exerpt in the back has got me all excited bout this book! i kinda guess Tarkin was gonna be in it...but i brain farted and didnt even think bout Vader! and if Vader is in it.....my boy Palps isnt to far behind!

*It was not a stupid question. *

I don't think people tell you often enough how cool you are.
