A minion of the Ewok noticed that starwars.com has snuck in the title of the eighth book of the Legacy of the Force series, Revelation, into last week’s first look at Sacrifice. (However, Sacrifice‘s controversial cover art is now missing! What could it all mean?)
Same old, same old
Sue Rostoni has posted the Exile blurb. Nothing LOTF readers don’t already know, but it lurks beneath the cut anyway.
Darth Who is here
Darth Paxil? No, it’s Paxis, excuse me. Anyway, the finalists in the Darth Who contest are up for voting.
In addition to Darth Paxis, (from pax, Latin for peace) we have Darth Acheron (a river in Hades,) and Darth Judicar (justice, I assume,) Darth Caedus (perhaps from the Latin caedes, carnage; casus, falling or caecus, blind) and lastly, Darth Taral, which appears to be a proper name.
ETA: The Darth Who page has updated with name definitions:
The finalist names are: Acheron (a river in Hell for those who deny justice), Caedus (a battle of darkness), Judicar (the final judge), Paxis (bringer of peace) and Taral (ancient Sith for “he who protects”).
Out this week
On the shipping list for Wednesday is Dark Times #2: The Path to Nowhere. Written by Welles Hartley and Mick Harrison with art from Douglas Wheatley. $2.99.
Quinlan figure coming in spring
April brings the second wave of EU figures, including comic favorite Quinlan Vos and a very Planet of the Apes-looking Chewbacca.
For those wondering about this Vos dude, a reader at the Dark Horse boards has provided a reading list.
Somebody loves inking
The Legacy #8 preview is up, taking us back to the very beginning of the series.
ETA: Looks like the #9 preview is up as well.
Round out your collection
TFN reports Paizo has older issues of Star Wars Insider and Gamer on sale for 50% off.
Probably false: Inferno synopsis
The latest item of interest for Legacy of the Force fans is a fairly detailed (in comparison) Amazon.co.uk summary of #6, Troy Denning’s Inferno.
Chances are it’s a fake, given the timing, typos, and Amazon being Amazon, but it’s under the cut if you’re interested.
Out this week
Today – or maybe yesterday, depending on your local store – You Can Draw Star Wars by Bonnie Burton, Tom Hodges and Matt Busch is available. There’s even a MySpace profile, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Dark Horse’s website claims that Dark Times #2 and Empire Vol. 7 are out on Wednesday, but neither appears on Diamond’s shipping list.
Coloring mistake in Legacy #7
Big whoops in Legacy #7 – one character (in a stand-alone scene) was recolored so as to look like a completely different character.
Artist Jan Duursema lets the fans know on TFN. Her post (and issue spoilers) under the cut.
