Hey Sue- just finished Invincible, and felt it was a good read, but I'm curious about something that seems absent from it- after all the build up for Niathal throughout the series and, particularly in the last book, she's surprisingly absent in Invincible (which was a little dissapointing- her "I've had enough" moment in the last book was one of my favorite)- was there a subplot excised during the editing process?

Now, I know this is (very) wishful thinking, but...

With the forthcoming release of 'The Clone Wars' and a return of the EU's focus to that time period, is there any chance that the long-cancelled 'Clone Wars Sourcebook' might be back on the table, albeit considerably updated?

After all, the reason it was cancelled was WotC's drift away from RPG sourcebooks in favour of miniatures, but with the release of the Saga Edition RPG we're getting sourcebooks again...

Invincible was an awesome book and a good ending to the LOTF series. Can't wait for Millennium Falcon and what other series comes next!

I've recently gotten into reading the young reader books. I've read a few Jedi Quest and most of the Boba Fett ones and am really enjoying them. I plan to read Last of the Jedi soon too. I'm wondering if you have any plans on releasing more books like these? Maybe with a tie in to The Clone Wars? If Ahsoka really is Anakin's Padawan I think some stories about them would be rather interesting. I find the idea of Anakin with a Padawan just a situation with lots of laughs around the corner. Anakin could use a little one giving him a hard time.

JamesGilmer: The Clone Wars TV series will be an anthology that spans the entirety of the three year Clone Wars, and it looks like it will jump around in time with standalone episodes.

So the only actual starting point is the Battle of Geonosis.

It will be interesting to see if each episode gives a time-frame and how specific (or non-specific) that is, or if, like many of the stories in the Clone Wars Adventures comic anthology, they leave the time-frame unstated.

I'm sure this is going to prove a unique challenge for Sue and Leland, as well as the producers of the TV series.

Definitely shows what happens when you give a single author the opportunity to fully develop a concept.

Hint, hint, Del Rey. Go back to letting your authors play a little. Quit deciding the plotlines and farming them out to authors. This doesn't have to be like television.

Sue and company:

It seems like it's rare to see praise for Last of the Jedi with so much focus on Legacy of the Force, but I just blazed through the entire final book in Last of the Jedi, "Reckoning," and I have to say that the ending blew me away. Perhaps I should've seen it coming, but Ms. Watson pulled off a great ending for this series. Anyone who hasn't read it should check out the 10-book series. You can read them all in the time it takes to read a regular novel. Kudos to Jude Watson on LOT*J*.

Sue, I just want to congratulate you on Invincible, as well as Troy Denning. I absolutely loved this book and I think the series was very awesome.

Thanks for the series- I loved it!

Timeline disrepancy to report (unless it is an old one):

Considering the changes that the new CW cartoon is making to the CW timeline (per the new databank entries that have revealed when the new cartoon starts), I'd say that timeline problems are going to be the norm from now on.

Timeline disrepancy to report (unless it is an old one):

In Legacy of the Jedi Qui-Gon returns from his last mission with Dooku as a Padawan, supposed to face the Jedi Trials shortly thereafter. He meets Tahl and speaks with her.

However, in The Death of Hope, Qui-Gon has a flashback where right after his knighting, he goes on a mission to think, and meets Tahl, claiming to have not seen her in several years.

Unless something happened during his knighting to make several years span between his scheduled Trials and promotion to knight, this doesn't add up.

Ms. Rostoni-

Along a similar thread to the above post, I posted my thoughts on Invincible in the Invincible spoiler thread. I wrote my post directed towards you and the other powers that be. I wanted to post it here, but I was concerned about spoilers and felt it would be better to post it in the spoiler thread. I hope one of you is able to read it. Thank you.

Is there a good place to e-mail the editorial staff in regards to Invincible? I've never felt the need to voice my opinion about a book quite like this, but I'd be silly to clutter up this thread. I'd like my voice to be heard, but I don't know where to start besides here.
