Great to see you over here, too, Clone Wars!!!!

Sue, when new fiction hits hyperspace (at least that it what I derived from the short announcement a few days back), do these stories also go past you?

Clone Wars II and Dalsk, Welcome to the forums! We hope to see you posting around here more often; we're all united in our love for the Expanded Universe, and you've definitely come to the right place to discuss it. And Clone Wars II, I agree about James Luceno and Matthew Stover. :)

I would have thought maybe some ifo on the release date and tie ins are expected to come out.

I've already seen a Lego set bearing the new Clone Wars series logo, as well as a "The Clone Wars" sticker book available for preorder that supposedly comes out in august. So my speculation is that it'll come this fall.

But they really can't promise an air date without a network, since TV's a different beast than film... they have to go by whatever the potential networks' schedule is.

I'm sure Sue will have updates for us soon enough.

Well, it probably won't be soon ENOUGH! The "announcements" are first made on sw.com, then I can elaborate here.

jason max- the reason that I asked that question is that we really haven't heard much of anything form the clone wars. For an event that is suppose to be somewhat big, I would have thought maybe some ifo on the release date and tie ins are expected to come out. Second, though I want a good video game and not a crapper, the question that begs is if its been delayed twice? Would the same happen for the Clone Wars? Also, some people here keep thinking that the live action is coming out next year. It is not! It is going to be probably worked on barring any issues with the writers strike and stuff like that, but at the earliest, I don't think it will come out until the fall of 2010.

*Dalsk this question was actually brought up back in June. Sue said it was definitely a possibility but it hadn't been discussed at that time. *

Oh, ok, thanks.
Maybe Sue will have some new informations (fingers crossed) ;)

Also if it were to happen it would be a seperate contract from the upcoming one. We might also see a series with the upcoming animated series as well but has not been discussed. Personally I would love this cause we could potentially get 4 different contracts, the live action, the animated series, the upcoming contract, and the scholastic contract as well and possibly a 5th contract with video game tie-ins like RC and TFU. I'm sure Sue will have updates for us soon enough. I hope that helps you out

Sue, real quick question. I know you can't discuss books in the upcoming contract and I don't want you too. However I was wondering if you could tell me if if there is still a block by Lucas on the character of Padme. I remember one of the VIP's stated she wasn't to be used due to her role in the upcoming clone wars series so I was curious if you guys are allowed to use her. I see the potential for some good poltical thrillers if she can be used.

Dalsk this question was actually brought up back in June. Sue said it was definitely a possibility but it hadn't been discussed at that time.

Hi, I'm kinda new here (in this forum) and I have a question for Sue, I don't know if this has been asked before. If it was, I'm sorry :)

With the "live" series coming on 2009, can we expect some books based upon the episodes or some others stories in the same period, like we had for the Clone Wars (the animated series, books and comics) ?

Sue, do you have a synopsis ready for +LotF #8: Revelation+? I haven't seen any, and the book will come out in a month and a few day. Or do you prefer us to have the surprise at the last moment?

Sue, I wanted to ask you. From what you can tell, is the Clone Wars going to happen this year or next? I'm asking since, I see that the Force Unleashed is now delayed till the summer months?

Maybe I'm missing something, but what does does a delayed video game have to do with a TV series?

VIPs, I'm not sure to whom to address this, so I
thought I'd start here.

I haven't been to thrilled with the my Hyperspace
membership for a while now. All we've been getting
for a while is reprints of stuff from old books and
comics. I can easily go back into my library of SW
books and find all of this stuff. Where's the new,
exclusive content that we are supposed to be getting?
At this rate my subscription will run out before
anything NEW is posted. Since my son enjoys reading
the Insider I think I'll just let my Hyperspace
account lapse and get the Insider instead. You're
just not making Hyperspace worth my hard earned money.


The VIP's (for the most part) have nothing to do with Hyperspace (or the rest of starwars.com for that matter). I would suggest you place your complaint in either the Hyperspace Forum or e-mail Lucas Online. Otherwise the people you are trying to address will never see it.

I received my e-mail this evening from Amazon (US) to approve my preorder for the Force Unleashed book delay until 6/26/08. So I think that is the "new" release date for the book and the game will likely be out around that same time.

Hello Miss Rostoni.
I wonder if you can tell us all when Force Unleashed is coming out? I know you said it may be delayed, but now a release schedule has come out saying the novel and the game is still coming out in March, and Amazon UK still says its due out in March as well.
Also, could you please tell me when it comes out on PS2, because that's the only games conosle I have that its out on.

Hello folks!
This is my first post in TOS forums, so please be friendly! My English is not the best because I'm a fourteen-years-old from Germany.:)
Sue,
I liked the idea of a EU artbook and I would prefer James Luceno and Matthew Stover to write Star Wars novels in the future.
Some time ago you said there were plans for LotF e-books but they were cancelled. I just wanted to say that it would be cool if you return to these plans.

I would imagine so... otherwise the EU would be full of moments where characters just pose while giant disembodied heads hover behind them. :p

You made me laugh out loud. :) Actually, I'm still laughing, as I try to come up with a witty followup. But I can't do it! Your post said it all.

B-)
