Poll: Sitting Ducks of the Expanded Universe

IMAGE: Poll resultsLast week’s poll asked what clearly doomed EU character is the least likely to survive their series. And the verdict is… Ahsoka Tano with 45 votes, even though The Clone Wars series hasn’t even started yet! Can’t say I’m surprised: That girl has had cannon fodder written all over her from day one. Coming in second (29 votes) is Darth Caedus of Legacy of the Force. The end of Caedus is almost certain, although you’ll note I didn’t mention Jacen Solo… Rounding out the back is Ferus Olin of the Last of the Jedi series with 21 votes. I found that surprising, due to that everyone I’ve known who actually reads those books seems to hate him… And he’s going up against Darth Vader, come on!

This week’s poll is about participation in the official site’s now-defunct What’s the Story feature, which allowed regular-joe fans to add a bit to Star Wars canon.

Traviss’ Fett novella to debut online

In August, Del Rey will publish A Practical Man, an e-novella by Karen Traviss filling in the details leading up to Boba Fett’s brief cameo in The Unifying Force.

Although there’s no price noted in the official release, it appears that Barnes & Noble has it retailing for $3.50.

The starwars.com item also gives fans a look at the Fettastic finished cover for Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines, which is due out in September.
