Another upcoming project from Traviss, as revealed on her own site: An Essential Guide to the GFFA military. Don’t start looking for it anytime soon, though – she told EUC that it’s “on my to-do list.”

EU art preview: Edwards in Jedi vs. Sith
One of the highlights of the latest round of the Essential Guide series has been the great art they’ve contained, and it looks like Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force will be no exception. One of the artists, Tommy Lee Edwards, has posted a trio of blog entries containing some samples and sketches of his work for the upcoming release.
ETA on The Essential Atlas
TOS gives us a first look at ETA on The Essential Atlas from Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace. And we have a release date: June 2008. The Wookieepedians must be drooling…
What’s up with this Atlas thing?
First look at new Guide, LOTF’s Inferno
Guess what’s confirmed? Jedi vs. Sith – The Essential Guide to the Force, written by Ryder Windham (Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide,) illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards (The New Essential Chronology) and Chris Trevas (The New Essential Guide to Alien Species) and expected for November release.
And then there’s the solicitation art for Troy Denning’s Inferno. I have to admit that with all this hype I’m half expecting the real thing to look a bit like this.
A brand new essential guide?
A TFN reader discovered a listing for Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force on the Random House site. Interesting…
Playing catch-up
Well, first I was sick, and then there was this big election thing, and between the two I ended up sleeping when I should have been combing the internet. Here’s what we missed:
- Cinemax marathon starts tomorrow night! Speaking of, there’s an ad in Entertainment Weekly I saw an ad in last week’s, but the sound chip is news to me…
- Send Helen your NEGAS photos!
- Homemade Star Wars boxers! Simple but cute.
- One of the elves from the Big Lot’s spokes-elf commercials/competition has a Star Wars connection.
- TFN has a coupon code for Skywalker Ranch Merlot.
- There’s a new VIP blogger. She’s playing a queen on a Rose Bowl float.
- No Starwars.com update tomorrow.
- And lastly, Vader and Yoda ‘bond’ over an iPod Shuffle.
Bookstore adventuring!
The New Essential Guide to Alien Species came out yesterday. The folks at Wookieepedia and TFN are atwitter over all the new info. ARE YOU??? It’s Helen’s book! Buy it!
Puzzlingly, StarWars.com is featuring the Complete Visual Dictionary, which has been out for weeks, even at my local Barnes & Noble where I think they put out the new books whenever they ‘feel like it.’ (Note: said B&N does have copies of the Return of the Jedi radio drama in the discount area for $7.99. Check yours!)
Any excuse for a shopping spree, right? Or, umm, holiday gifts. Yeah, gifts.
