Still, thanks for the update. This is interesting. I must admit I'm somewhat surprised Denning's not taking a break, if this is true. And that they're trying another 9-book series with 3 authors. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Even if it means delaying the books. Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane. We all hang out on a site to discuss a Science Fiction series <------ What I strive for

But I don't know if this is true...no confirmation yet.

Certainly when I and most people are expecting it to be set (timeframe). 9 books sounds like they're going for another LotF type series. It will be written by Aaron Allston, Troy Denning and Christie Golden (author of Star Trek, Angel, Buffy, etc.). Aaron Allston always gets my vote. He's in the top tier of SW authors. I'm fine with Denning, though he's still not in the top tier for me. Now Christe Golden... hmm. I've read some of her Trek books (and I'm sure Nom and Acky are going to pop in at this point and talk about her trek work as well). I found her Trek stories to be good, but not great. I will say that she's been completely absent from Trek lit for some time, she was 'supposed' to be the sole author writing the Voyager relaunch - and after 4 books (about two years ago) she completely disappeared. THIS announcement might explain what happened to her, and because we know she's MIA from Trek, it's helping the possibility that this rumor is true. Still, I'm not jumping up and down for joy for her inclusion, but I've never been turned off by her writing either. The series will feature Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, Ben Skywalker and Jaina Solo. Well, duh. If this is set post 'first' LotF series, it had better. Luke and Ben will be on a journey together and the other characters will stay at home and deal with the post-LOTF situation. Frankly, doesn't sound much different from the description of MF. What I'd like to see is these authors each writing their own trilogy - not interspersed as LotF was. But I gather from previous comments Sue has made that they liked the way LotF went (from a publishing standpoint in dealing with authors interspersed) so it's 'more' probable to get that again.

I love Allston, and yes I still like Denning for anyone who thought different, so this does have potential to be a great series. While I was critical of one book in LOTF, it doesn't take away that LOTF was an all around solid series soemthing and I believe that another series could work if this information is true. I don't think stand alone books are enough to finish telling the story of what heppened before the masacre at ossus occured. With that said, I will also remain skeptical of this until we have an official statement made by Sue or one of the other higher ups at DR.

Either way would be good for me.

Nothing has been updated on Christie Golden's website for a while and nothing on her blogs anywhere close to mentioning Star Wars. But the search continues...

But I don't want anyone else to fall to the dark side; at least no one major. Please, not for awhile. But I think I speak for everyone when I say this. LOTS and LOTS of appearances by any and all characters. At least, all YJK, including the now MIA Zekk, and missing Raynar, both of whom need to come back. Force Ghost. If not an Anakin one, then Jacen. That'd be awesome. Fate Of The Jedi. This should forshadow the coming of the Sith at least. I want Jag to die! Okay, I know this is not going to happen, pretty much CAN'T happen, but I can dream. More thoughts to come, no doubt. I tend to ramble with things like this. "The deeds of heroes send ripples spreading through the Force. Anakin's life continues to flow outward, touching and guiding those who have yet to hear his name. Most of us here use the Force-this young man embodied it." -Kyp Durron

Right now it doesn't really take anything away from the rumor but sadly it doesn't really add anything either. The one problem I have with it personally is that if this is when the series takes place will Del Rey be writing the final story-lines for some of our favorite characters? If Jaina and Jag get together and the IKs are started how many stories can be told before it ties Dark Horse's hands for Legacy? If Luke were to die in the series what author would handle writing that? And after the fallout of Invincble who would want to?

Posts: 3181 07/17/08 10:57 PM	There is no author who can be universally agreed upon to write Luke's death, so I would assume we would have 3 top-tier authors (Stover, Luceno, Zahn/Stackpole, imo) to kill off the remaining three. However, they let a relative newbie write Mara's death, so maybe not. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Posts: 1781 07/18/08 9:45 AM	However, they let a relative newbie write Mara's death, so maybe not. Even though Mara was a huge player IU, comapred to Luke, where even people who don't read or even like SW, knows who he is. The scope, and coverage, of his death will be huge. Becasue I don't want to think of Luke dying at the moment, I cannot even say what author I would want to write his death. But I do know, that I don't want it to be allston. As much as I bow at his alter now, I think another SW writer, one who writes a spectacualr luke, would need to be the one to do it. Because nothing else has been found on this rumor, can we say it is safe to assume, for now, that DR has no intention of announcing any future plans for post MF?
