Posts: 8095 09/29/08 10:32 PM	Tags : None Sue Rostoni posted: June 2011 - Paperback: Untitled by Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, featuring a promising holostar - a rags to riches story set against the backdrop of the early days of the Rebellion. Now you know how in Highlander, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! Well, in Star Wars, ALWAYS TWO THERE ARE. Now, who are these two options for our budding holo-stars in the times of the Rebellion? Well, I shall tell you. 1. Garik "Face" Loran 2. Syal "Wynssa Starflare" Antilles, senior. Either option is like the sweet smell of roses after being force-fed compost. I'm secretly conducting chants and spells to make this a SYAL ANTILLES novel, but if it is Face, then that is also quite superb.

Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane.

As insanely AWESOME as it would be to have a Face or Wynessa Starflare novel, Reaves has shown a preference for original characters. But one must always hope...

All NOT original characters, all having a crucial role in his various books and all well-known pre-existing characters. He's also dealt with things like Death Star prototypes, destruction of Caamas and human replica droids, all pre-existing well-known EU constructions.... Even if we jettison all that, there's always a first for everything. Why create an entirely new no name character when what Sue describes can fit easily into a character that already exists and has many people asking after her (Syal) or could easily be tweaked a little to cover another (Face). Couple that with the overwhelming evidence that this new contract seems geared to giving us exactly what we want because they screwed us in portions of the last one, and I'd say evidence is high this relates to Face or Syal. How many people here want a book on the Fels? How many people here would actually complain if this was on Face? Not many, if at all, I'd wager. This contract seems all about "Fans WIN" and this would factor into that argument.

Posts: 1559 09/30/08 9:22 AM	I'm torn. I WANT it to be about Syal (or even Face). But I suspect it's going to be about a new character. While Reaves has used existing characters and locations - I'd point out that both have mostly been used as background in those novels. These weren't main characters (exception Maul - who was mostly a blank slate and dead in the continuity anyway) - his 'main' characters tend to be original creations. That said, Syal IS very much a blank slate, and her romance with Baron Fel makes for a very intriguing novel - especially if she was doing some spy work for the Rebellion but ultimately chose to follow her heart. Good potential conflict.

Posts: 2259 09/30/08 10:33 AM	I am in heaven right now. I just read about Nomi sunrider and now this. I will just orgasm if this is about Syal . That means my fave character, soontir, may make an appearence. I'm secretly conducting chants and spells to make this a SYAL ANTILLES novel, but if it is Face, then that is also quite superb Okay, someone help me out here but didn't Syal and Garik do a holodrama together? If they did then we would get BOTH of them which would make this one of my favorite stories ever. Even if they didn't, there is no reason why there cannot be cameos from other actors/actresses...

Posts: 1924 09/30/08 2:19 PM	Hmm... yes, this contract does seem to be a FANS=PRIORITY #1. I still think, though, that this is gonna be an original character book. Or, it'll be a mainly OC book, but have Face and/or Syal in a major role. Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane.

Posts: 8115 10/02/08 6:54 AM	Nom, about him doing Xizor and Replica Droids. Didn't Steve Parry write Shadows of the Empire? Obviously you haven't read Jedi Twilight yet. Shame on you. SHAME ON YOU. Syal and Face did a holodrama together? face-plants in sheer rapture That said, Syal IS very much a blank slate, and her romance with Baron Fel makes for a very intriguing novel - especially if she was doing some spy work for the Rebellion but ultimately chose to follow her heart. Good potential conflict. Which is what I was going for. For such a loved/well known character, there's still so much that is UNKNOWN. This could also be a possible way to give us much needed information on Cherith, Davin and Cem Fel, and also give us more Jagged and Soontir, and perhaps even some Chiss randomness. If it goes that far (timeline-wise, that is). Also: Wedge-ness. Which is a bonus.

Assuming it is about Syal, of course Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane.

Posts: 2276 10/02/08 5:32 PM	ASII that is probably one of the best ideas ever Just for suggesting it you are now my new favorite person But I honestly cannot see the reasoning for them to introduce a new "holo star" character when we already have 3 fairly well known established characters. Syal seems to obvious choice with Garik and the other guy (Phennir?) putting in appearences.

Posts: 2280 10/03/08 3:52 PM	Cowell! thanks...I was trying to figure it out without cheating and searching for the name. Phennir first appeared in the x-wing comics (and laterl legacy as we know), not novels.

Posts: 2305 10/09/08 5:53 PM	Saweet! I am going to whip out my x-wing comics and figure out when Syal/Soontir met. I am pretty sure it was about 1-2 years before yavin and she was at the height of her fame then. Hell the emporer was even at their wedding. I am crossing my fingers that it is a story about her.
