Just one for Wednesday – Rebellion #15. But at least it’s also part 7 of Vector!
Karen Traviss hints at future work
With the odd-day The Clone Wars release out and up, Del Rey has an excerpt from the book and an interview with Traviss, where she talks about the new book, her writing process, and briefly touches on some of her upcoming Star Wars work…
I’m continuing the Republic Commando series in Imperial Commando books. There are a few other SW books in the pipeline too, including a Boba Fett one.
Comics are also mentioned, but not whether they’re Star Wars or something else.
Newsbits: Penny Arcade, SFX, TCW apathy, 3-D
- Comics: Penny Arcade takes on one of the Expanded Universe’s less savory traits.
- Media: September issue of UK mag SFX features multiple Clone Wars covers.
- And someday we might even see them: Jeffrey Katzenberg tells Coming Soon that George Lucas is planning to convert all six films in 3-D.
- Been there, done that: The Daily Herald finds that some fans are less than buzzed for The Clone Wars. Well, that’s my experience… Just not really feeling this one.
Out this week: Robot Chicken, comics, Clone Wars
On Tuesday, you can finally own (the Emmy-nominated) Robot Chicken: Star Wars on DVD! Wednesday is looking good for comic fans, with both Legacy #26 and Knights of the Old Republic #31 on Diamond’s shipping list.
And don’t forget that the first blast of The Clone Wars merchandise will be showing up on Saturday, including Karen Traviss’ ‘loosely based’ hardcover.
Dark Horse covers for The Clone Wars
The Clone Wars character designs look a tad less wonky as actual drawings, but I’m not sure that angle is the most appropriate angle for Ahsoka… (Full spread: The Clone Wars #1, The Clone Wars #2, Shipyards of Doom, Crash Course.)
And while we’re on the topic of Dark Horse, a preview for Knights of the Old Republic #31.
The Clone Wars series: #2 gets a title
NJOE’s Max Jaybo noticed that Karen Miller’s first Star Wars novel now has a title in the Random House catalog: The Clone Wars: Wild Space.
TFN thread of the indeterminate time period
[HUGE LEGACY SPOILER]’s sterility problem. Here’s a deep thought: Maybe he just doesn’t want any biological kids. All the things we don’t know about Legacy and this is your hot topic? What are you people: Fanfic writers?

DarkHorse.com gets a facelift, previews TFU comic
