In light of the strengthening Canadian Dollar, and the weakening American Dollar, will the Canadian price of TUF be closer to the American price than the previous books have been?

Anyways, VIPs- The new databank entry mentions the V-13 Starfighter debuted at the Battle of Geonosis; is there an upcoming source that features this debut? Or is it a databank-only factoid?
That source corresponds with the Clone Wars Television Series, 2ndQuest.
Also, I will still argue that the Tenths-of-a-Year system should have been used in the first place to alleviate confusion, so as to correspond to the internal in-universe calendar. It was, after all, used in the HoloNet News articles, why couldn't it have been carried over to other timelines and upheld by the authors? (That was a rhetorical question, btw.)

Anyway, I checked some of the dates, and they are indeed consistent if you use .1 = 1/10 of a year.<<
Though many are also askewed because it's hard to get "9 months ABG" or "10 months ABG" (sources listed in those two time periods are given the same 0.8 years ABG timeline placement- you have to round up or round down to get the true placement).
Obviously, using the tenths-of-a-year system is flawed if you want to get the correct date for many entries without having to guess which way to round (up or down).

+ EfD is not only not listed on the new CW timeline, it is also not listed anymore on Randomhouse Online... +
EfD has never been listed on RandomHouse.com.

VIP's- regarding the Clone Wars timeline on starwars.com, I wanted to confirm that the dates such as 0.2 ABG are representing tenths of a year (so .1= 1.2 months), not years and ".months after" (where .1 would equal 1 month).
This is something we call the decimal numbering system. If it doesn't say that's they are doing some weird thing where .1 means 1/12, then they probably aren't.
Anyway, I checked some of the dates, and they are indeed consistent if you use .1 = 1/10 of a year.

it does not look like the timeline lists the micro series either, but we all know that is a go. EFD is still on amazon.

*Right, right... I forgot about that one... But is this true? If so, why? I was looking forwards to this book. *
I doubt they scrapped it. Why would they do that?

And another thing:
Look at the new timeline:
http://www.starwars. com/clonewars/explore/timeline/
On previous timelines, the events of EFD were referred to as "The Dagu Revolt," and it was going to be 9 months after AOTC. It's suspiciously missing from this timeline. |

Michael Jan Friedman had already written a complete manuscript for the first book of the Knightfall Trilogy when Del Rey/LucasBooks scrapped it.
And they did have a cover for Knightfall Book One before the trilogy was cancelled.

Well yes, I noticed that JT isn't listed. But that's a slightly different case because it comes out last, and they probably haven't decided on a release date yet. The October 04 Boba Fett book isn't listed, and Republic is only listed thru January 04. So it's not too surprising that JT isn't on there.
But Shatterpoint and the 3 books after EFD (Cestus Deception, Medstar 1&2) ARE listed. If the books following EFD are listed, EFD should be there as well ... unless it's been canceled.

Why would it be cancelled? They already have a cover for the thing.

VIPs: what can you tell us about the next couple issues of Republic after 62? Are they still 'Clone Wars' comics?
