Posts: 2834 04/15/09 10:42 AM	Tags : None From Karen Miller's Blog: So here's something pretty exciting. It's been in the works for a good while now, but these things can take time ... and now I can announce it! A bunch of truly wonderful Aussie Star Wars fans have organised a charity auction to raise money for the victims of the February bushfires in Victoria. Sean Williams and I got together, wondering how we could help, and we came up with the idea to auction off a character in our upcoming Star Wars novels. Lucasfilm gave us their blessing, so now two lucky Star Wars fans with deep pockets g can win a walk on appearance in the Star Wars universe! The winning bidders will have their names given a Star Wars makeover, and the new name will be assigned by us to one of our original characters. You can go here for a full rundown of the auction. Please help spread the word, because this is a very very very worthy cause. And guess what? There's not ONE but TWO of these walk-ons being offered to fans. One in Miller's Clone Wars # 5, and the other in a previously unannounced book by Sean Williams! Ladies and gents, I give you the new Sig. Last Edited By: max jaybo 11/01/09 4:08 PM. Edited 2 times.

You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

If you want to be technical. Great find Max. Let the speculation begin - is the new book going to be another game-based novel? I know there were rumors of a "The Force Unleashed 2" coming from Lucasarts. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

Posts: 274 04/16/09 7:48 PM	I hope it's a sequel novel to Fate of the Jedi with Luke and Ben Skywalker(Christmas 2011?) or a post-NJO Unknown Regions novel with Luke,Mara and Ben(a sequel to the NJO:Force Herectic Trilogy or a novel set between ROTS & ANH with Darth Vader. Williams has said in an interview back when the Force Herectic series came out that he and Shane Dix would love to do more Unknown Regions stories or stories set between ROTS & ANH.

Posts: 2058 04/17/09 3:25 PM	In Sean William's blog he says: One of the terrible things about the Victorian bushfires is the legacy of suffering and hardship that will last for months to come. Hence a number of ongoing initiatives to help raise money to help those in need. This post is about a new one, something that's been in the works for a while but is now officially official (as opposed to being on Facebook and eBay). Thanks to some most excellent and hardworking fans, you can now bid for a piece of the Star Wars universe via the links above, or through the post on the Star Wars blog. karenmiller tells the tale better than I ever could: A bunch of truly wonderful Aussie Star Wars fans have organised a charity auction to raise money for the victims of the February bushfires in Victoria. Sean Williams and I got together, wondering how we could help, and we came up with the idea to auction off a character in our upcoming Star Wars novels. Lucasfilm gave us their blessing, so now two lucky Star Wars fans with deep pockets g can win a walk on appearance in the Star Wars universe! The winning bidders will have their names given a Star Wars makeover, and the new name will be assigned by us to one of our original characters. So smash open that piggy box! Raid the stash you've been saving for a rainy day! This kind of offer doesn't come along very often. You don't want to miss it! PS. I guess this also means that I can tell you that I'm writing another Star Wars novel, but I can't tell you which one. Stay tuned. However, I'll note that the 'icon' he uses for the blog entry, is "Star Wars The Force Unleashed". Now maybe he's just using that because it's the most recent Star Wars book he did - or maybe it's a hint. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

Many Star Wars personalities have donated items for the cause, including Dave Prowse (Darth Vader), Kenny Baker (R2D2), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and may fellow SW authors, including Sean Williams, Karen Traviss, Karen Miller, and Mike Stackpole. Rebecca and I have donated the original, marked manuscript for the first Young Jedi Knights novel, Heirs of the Force. Take a look at all the items up for auction and BID! http://www.starwarscharityauction.iwarp.com/ KJA -From the above, I'd say there must be some stuff up for grabs from Traviss and Stackpole too. You are greater than the Jedi of former days. Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker... You are not afraid of the dark.

Stackpole is offering an autographed, rare, first edition hardback version of "I, Jedi."

Posts: 2894 05/01/09 7:07 PM	... waaay back when Sean first talked about the auction in the blog, he said what karen said, actually he quoted her, except he added this one little tiny line of text at the end: PS. I guess this also means that I can tell you that I'm writing another Star Wars novel, but I can't tell you which one. Stay tuned. I wonder if that means he's attatched to something we already know about? (meaning TOR. Cause that's the only thing we know is coming but doesn't have an author.) ...is seriously needing a vacation.

Posts: 1535 05/01/09 7:23 PM	Wouldn't be a stretch, given his last book was a game adaption. That said, I really hope it's not the case. I'd like to see a new author tackle it, come out of the gates swinging like Karen Traviss did with Republic Commando.
