Mythbusting. Tosche Station got Pablo Hidalgo to dig into his notes to clarify one of the most widespread rumors about the New Jedi Order series. Did the almighty George Lucas order LucasBooks to kill off Anakin Solo? Turns out… Not so much.
Forthcoming. Jeffrey Brown, the author of Vader and Son and next week’s Vader’s Little Princess, told the Full of Sith podcast about his next Star Wars project, Jedi Academy. In a hurry? FOS co-host Bryan shares the relevant details.
Comics. Brian Woods’ Star Wars gets a new artist, Ryan Kelly, for the new arc that starts with issue #7. Meanwhile, Cosmic Book News interviews Wood.
Excerpt. Just a little one from Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void.
Reviews. James is glad the action picks up in Star Wars #4 and thinks the story gets off to a fast start with a very intriguing foe in Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin #1.
Very interesting to see Hidalgo’s comments. Particularly the “Too redundant to movie storylines – books should be more original” (5/6/98) BB memo”. That certainly explains what change the books took post-Bantam!
That makes his death even more pointless… sigh.
“Too redundant to movie storylines – books should be more original” (5/6/98)
Understandable … so I wanna know why did we get the “Legacy of the Force” book series???
That’s what I asked…
