Expanded Universe newsbits

For those of you wondering about how Vector will be released in TPB, Sue Rostoni had this to say on Monday: “It will be published in two volumes, six issues each.”
Rule of Two reviewed at SF Site.
501stCast has their full interview with Karen Traviss available.

Projects: Back in September, Finkbuilt tinkered up some two-minute dueling sabers. Then, in October, the real thing. Then came the costume boot tops, a Flashsaber, and why am I only finding all this now? It’s good stuff!
Lists and such: i09 gives The Phantom Menace a hat-tip in their list of Greatest Car Chases In Science Fiction (Part 2), while THX-1138 gets face time in The Scariest Settings Ever Created in Scifi Movies. They also found an inappropriate t-shirt that brings, if nothing else, a cheap, shameful laugh.
Expanded Universe: Drew Karpyshyn will join EUCantina.net for the EUCast on February 2nd.

Interview: Lightsabre talks to special effects maven Dennis Muren. (The first part is here.)
Expanded Universe: Rule of Two author Drew Karpyshyn talks to two fan sites – Jedi-Masters.co.uk and Fan Force Portugal.
Music: Over at Ask Metafilter, a RPGer is looking for “a set of tracks that soundaren’t.“ Lots of neat suggestions!

Drew Karpyshyn responds to fan reactions to Rule of Two. My question: Does it have as many typos as that one book in the Corellian Trilogy? I have to know.

Busy day at the official site… First up, an interview with Drew Karpyshyn to celebrate next week’s release of Rule of Two

Then, check out the Japanese cover for Jude Watson’s The Shadow Trap. (Nice, but are they ever going to get to LOTF? The fans are clamoring for EU art!)

I spotted The Star Wars Vault at Barnes & Noble today, though the TOS is listing it for October 30th release. Interesting.

Drew Karpyshyn talks about the recent EA buyout of Bioware, the Rule of Two manuscript and an event that happened… last Saturday. Whoops.

R.A. Salvatore talks a bit about his Star Wars novel experience about halfway through his interview with Fantasy Book Critic. The SW bits handily start just about where you see the Vector Prime book cover.

Path of Destruction sequel’s title is tentative no longer: StarWars.com officially introduces Drew Karpyshyn’s Rules of Two. Alas, the Mustafar-chic cover art is also confirmed.

Rebelscum has even more photos of EU figures: KOTOR’s Darth Revan and Malak, plus the Pre-Cyborg Grievous.

Sue Rostoni confirms that the Fury summary that appeared last week is indeed the real thing.
Drew Karpyshyn revealed on his personal site that the manuscript for his December Bane sequel has been sent off to the powers that be.
And for you Clone Wars/half naked Anakin fans, Rebelscum has posted pictures of the Hasbro figure inspired by Chapter 24 of the animated micro-series. They also have pics of Roron Corobb and Yoda with Kybuck.
