Sue, I think you said the LOTF authors were using a fake Sith name for Jacen while they were writing their respective books untill the "Darth Who" contest would produce the real Sith name for Jacen, are you willing to say what the fake Sith name was or is it going to be re-used?

Honestly, Adamwan, you don't think they would divulge that upon request, do you?

But I am in total agreement with you, and recent developments indeed give reason to hope.

Sue, could you tell us if we'll see the Mandalorians as soon as in LotF #6: Inferno, or if we'll have to wait for +LotF #8: Revelation+?

This is a question for any VIP who can answer. I can't really think of a politically correct way of saying this, so I'll be blunt: When will we see one or all of the "big three" killed off? I personally think it's about time they retire and/or die. I think it would be best to see Luke killed. Him being the main character, it would be very cool and Whedon-esque of you guys to do that.

+Oh, I did, I was just letting you know the reason behind why there might be a bit of a wait.

Obviously a nation-wide book tour is going to generate a backlog of work ;)

And I know others email KT, so I figured I'd remind them as well that she doesn't ignore her emails, and some may be used to getting extremely prompt replies, but that she's just in from a major trip.

Best of luck with the interview! Be sure to let us know if/when/where it'll appear! +

It must have been our discussion, because about two hours ago Miss.Traviss replied to my e-mail. She requested it be done in July, and that's when you'll see it on theeucantina.net ( once it's up...)

f you mean what will happen to that slot on the publishing list, then I don't exactly know how that will work and if they'll put a new book up in place of the cancelled novel or if there just won't be a novel for that slot. With FORCE UNLEASHED it sounds like they have a new novel to add to their scheduale so that may take care of the contract or it may be on a different contract.

There's also a February 2009 Hardcover on the schedule, as posted .

Some how it turned into me attacking both Authors.......Gee I wonder how that happened?

Not everything is about you, as stated, people are complaining about aspects of the cover including the Bespin chamber because it didn't appear in book, and I think that's a touch silly since covers are not literal representations.

And KT has outright said the Mara storyline was her idea, so I kind of doubt she'd want to trade off, just as I'm sure Zahn pitched an idea he personally had.

She literally just flew in after a 13 hour flight. Imagine the volume of emails she'll have to deal with, starting with the professional and then the personal. You have to remember that she's been on tour since just before CIV started, so obviously her scheduale's a little packed right now. I don't doubt she'll get to your request in due time.

Read my whole post please. I understand that totally, and I'm not impatience or mad. I was simply stating that once she does e-mail me, I'll be to see what we are going to talk about.:D

I dont feel like fighting 8000 Mandolorian fans and I dont feel like fighting 8000 Chiss fans Just because I had an idea ( + based on several book reviews regarding Allegiance & Legacy+ ). Dark Moose said drop it.............so Drop it.

I already reported the issue to feedback because this is getting blown way out of proportion. The only person thats going to get in trouble here is me.....so let it go please. Drop this whole thing.

The point being people shouldn't read too much into covers

"People" didnt. There was other comparrisons within the story that was mentioned strickly as theory. The Covers are not entirely up to the Writters. Most of my Theory was based on the Characters in both books......and what happened to them in both books......yet I'm sure if Timothy and Karen would be willing to trade stories Allegiance = Storm Troopers.....+Sacrifice+= Mara Jade...both of which I'm sure they might be willing to do.......All I said was that it was odd that they had opposite tales to tell.

The Cover was an add on.

Some how it turned into me attacking both Authors.......Gee I wonder how that happened?

Yeah, I know that the Plagueis book had gotten canceled. I also knew that they didn't put the book on the schedule due to it being canceled

It means that the books isn't going to be written at all, I'm afraid. If you mean what will happen to that slot on the publishing list, then I don't exactly know how that will work and if they'll put a new book up in place of the cancelled novel or if there just won't be a novel for that slot. With FORCE UNLEASHED it sounds like they have a new novel to add to their scheduale so that may take care of the contract or it may be on a different contract. I'm not sure how they do things like that, but it looks like we'll simply never get the Plagueisis novel.

How do you know that? I mean since we can't see XXX lower half I can say that XXXX is wearing a sign around XXXXX knees that says( spoiler)

That was a joke.

It was said that McCartney was barefoot on the cover to Abbey Road because he'd been killed in a bike accident and replaced by a double. I was making a joke about making assumptions based on covers. Over the years conspiracy theorists have created a whole mythology around the "Paul is Dead" hoax, most of based on that album cover.

The point being people shouldn't read too much into covers, whether it's character ages or locations (I've already seen people complain that Bespin isn't in the novel but the carbonite chamber is shown on the back cover).

Pretty sure I do have a spoiler warning there. You how ever do not. Even though your spoiler requires other knowledge and something on the part of the reader. It is a spoiler no the less.

Theres a message there in Zahn

You know, you're on to something, if you take the
first letter of every third word in ALLEGIANCE is
spells out exactly how Paul McCartney died in a bike
accident and backs up the ABBY ROAD cover as proof
that he was replaced by a look-alike.

Also, while you can't see it, Mara is barefoot on the
SACRIFICE cover, thus foreshadowing her fate.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

How do you know that? I mean since we can't see her lower half I can say that she is wearing a sign around her knees that says( spoiler)

Mod Edit: Spoilers removed

Hi Jessica! Thanks for joining the Boards :)

>>Since the Plagueis novel got cancelled, what are plans for that book? It comes out in Feb. of 2008 right?

I was just hoping sremmuy could tell us what the plan for the book was.

Jim Luceno might be the one to expand on this....but right now there is no Plan. It's on the shelf. Your minds on something else.
