Don’t forget the Shadows of Mindor chat tonight!

The power of Stover compels youHere in the midwest it feels like we’re buried under a good chunk of Hoth, so a nice warm internet chat after dark seems like a good option… At least as long as you’ve finished Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Minor. As many a former Star Lady may recall, IRC is a decidedly old-school format, but there are modern options, like a browser-based web client (Firefox recommended) you don’t even need to install. Join us at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific.

And while Mindor is on your mind, go ahead and rate it.

Fate of the Jedi: Tidbits on the Outcast cover

Sure, we got Blood Oath the other day, but as things stand that’s not coming out until December… Whereas the first Fate of the Jedi book is due in March. No doubt we’ll get it soon, but for now, here’s what Sue Rostoni has to say:

I think I had posted earlier that OUTCAST would have Luke and Ben on the front — but we reviewed the cover yesterday and think it will look better with just Luke (Ben on the back) — Plus, the FOTJ is going to have a completely different cover treatment than what we’ve used in the past.

I don’t think having a EU character featured on the front is going to make a difference to readers — it hasn’t in the past, for the most part.

As long as it the phrase ‘like Rebel Force‘ doesn’t come up, I’m hopeful! Meanwhile, there’s been a little confusion about Outcast being in Previews under the name The Hidden Ones, which Sue says was a working title/placeholder.

And the Waru goes to…

Waru's ladiesDaala, of course. It honestly wasn’t much of a contest – everyone’s favorite KJA-spawned Imperial psycho and her new job as (LOTF spoiler) the Galactic Alliance Chief of State (aka President of the Galaxy for our less EU-oriented friends) took an early lead and kept it, although Ahsoka made a strong showing. But she’s young, and while it’s hard to imagine that The Clone Wars could top a surprise apprentice for Anakin, this is Star Wars. George will certainly think of something! Hell – she might even survive.

What will the 2009 hold for the Warus? Not much… We hope. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, tell us why you voted for, why, and what would you have nominated for the 2008 Warus?
