FOTJ marketing push continues for Omen

Yesterday, NJOE dug up some details on the marketing plan for the second Fate of the Jedi book, Christie Golden’s Omen. It includes an appearance by Christie Golden at San Diego Comic Con and new content on StarWars.com like a live author chat (a first?) and ‘Ben’s Journal’ – which sounds like something in the same vein as the Outcast postcards.

Not quite sure where they got the info, but it’s similar to what’s in the Random House Summer catalog (not yet available on their website, but you can find a PDF here – or see the relevant page under the jump.) Omen and the related publicity info are on page 72. But as you’ll note by the Abyssesque cover image, the catalog info is not necessarily the most up to date, and these things do have a tendency to change.

EUbits: Bohnhoff, street date, Stover maybe

  • A Padwan’s Journal: Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff writes about dealing with icons in her tenth entry.
  • Street date shuffle: Drew Karpyshyn’s Dynasty of Evil has moved up a week to December 8. Book release schedule is thatta way.
  • The blogside: Matthew Stover has updated his blog with news of some upcoming projects, including two more tie-ins. Now note, there’s nothing about them being Star Wars, but they certainly could be.

Ten years of The Phantom Menace

Tuesday marks ten years of The Phantom Menace… Ten years! It seems like much longer… Or shorter, I suppose. I’m ‘celebrating’ by finally reading Darths & Droids, which is actually a lot more fascinating that I thought it would be. (Just got to the AOTC parts and it’s hilarious.) Those looking for a less time-consuming memory tweaker can enjoy Popcorn Monster’s Top 10 Memories of Anticipating The Phantom Menace.

Anyway, the question of the week, how did you see the movie?
