EUCantina talked to LucasBooks Senior Editor Jennifer Heddle about her job and what’s coming up in the Expanded Universe. She gives some details on Karpyshyn’s The Old Republic: Annihilation, a return for Matt Stover (“a distinct possibility,) the chances of more X-Wing books and a Leia or Padme novel:
There are a couple different plans in the works to focus a bit more on Leia (in both the novels and the comic books). There’s nothing planned for Padme at this time, but never say never.
She also says we’ll get an announcement of what’s coming for post-Fate of the Jedi at San Diego Comic Con. Hopefully that means we’ll be getting further details at Celebration?
Thanks for the major linkage!
I’ll never understand how Padmé – a character of the utmost importance for the saga as a whole – ended up being not only dull and forgettable (yes, I said it, sue me), but also relegated to the far distant background. A couple of novels – best set between TPM and AOTC – would do her some good.
And the ladies squee.
glad that they are going to put some big news out at comic-con and not just sit on it all for celebration….
