In the Ascension spoiler thread on TFN’s Jedi Council boards, Troy Denning (Tailone) responded to the increasingly commen assertions that he has acted as ‘head writer’ for Fate of the Jedi and Legacy of the Force.
…Out of respect for Aaron and Christie, I’d like to clarify that I’m not the “head writer” for FotJ (or any other Star Wars series). Both Aaron and Christie are veteran authors with dozens of novels under their belts; Aaron has written more Star Wars novels than I have, and Christie has written more novels period. It would be inappropriate and untrue to assert that I have any sort of leadership role in the group. We are all equal writers, with equal influence over the series.
So there you have it.
Let’s all go back to liking Star Wars together. ;)
But taking Star Wars too seriously and finding random reasons to be petulant is fun!
Or so I’ve gathered. Shrug.
Having a head writer to direct the series might not be a bad thing. Still, Denning, Allston and Christie, 3 great writers on the same team — can’t complain too much.
I’d imagine with their combined awesomeness there would be no need for a lead anyway. I’d just like to go for a drink with all three.
… just like Palpatine was just following the wishes of the Senate…
