I am terribly, terribly disappointed that we're going to have beatifully rendered, realistic covers for Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Caedus (from LofF) and Zekk (from Blood Oath) -- but for Jaina, the biggest hero of that generation, we have only an action shot from a distance that shows none of her beauty or intensity. Given the FotJ style, it now seems the next likely Jaina cover we'll get -- and/or the Jag one (which I just have to believe is coming in this series) -- will look more like a Soviet propaganda poster than the wonderful "posed" images of Tenel Ka and Mara from LotF. For fans of the EU characters, and Jaina especially, that's a big letdown.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I certainly don't dislike the cover of Outcast, but I'll admit I did have my hopes up that Jaina would get the same treatment some other characters got on the LOTF/Seeley covers. Oh well, maybe a stylized Jaina on one of the covers won't be so bad.

Nevermind.

I'm not entirely sure if this is even the right place to ask:

Apparently, the first four aired (i.e. not first four chronological) episodes of TCW will arrive in a 4-episode DVD on March 24. Sometime after that, we'll apparently be seeing another multi-episode release.

So . . .

1. Does this mean that TCW won't be getting the rumored (and somewhat unnecessary) treatment of having its first season released in two separate halves (like the way Battlestar Galactica's recent seasons have been)?

2. Are we to assume that these multi-episode releases are in lieu of a season set once the entire season has aired, or are these a separate line of DVDs to get non-viewers interested?

I dunno... Plastic surgery? Yeah, that's it- Weequays are ashamed of their ugliness, so they idolize the Klatooinians and try to look like them! :D

Lying is certainly not beyond Sithiness morality.

*Hey Sue, do you think that you can give us the
Dramatis Personaes for OUTCAST and OMEN if its not to
much trouble? Also, thank you soooo much for
answering all of our questions!!*

Hummm.........

Well, the regulars: Han, Leia, Luke, Ben, Jaina, the
droids.... Daala, Jag..... a few new characters....
all the usual suspects. I don't think the DP is
s going to give you much.


The droids? That's plenty of info to keep me happy. R2 and 3PO don't get the love they deserve these days, so I'm excited for any novel where they feature prominently.

Hey Sue -- is there any more to the mystery of Vergere besides what Lumiya and the One Sith say about her?

I have one: When the paperback versions of the Fate of the Jedi series come out, will they be in the usual small mass market paperback version or the newer somewhat larger trade paperback that The Clone Wars series (e.g. Wild Space) has?

The paperback reprints of the Fate of the Jedi series will be regular paperbacks.

Also, I ditto someone else's question of will The Clone Wars novelization by Traviss likewise come out in that new trade paperback version?

I don't think Del Rey has decided this one yet.
