Clone Wars! Celebration V!
Posted on March 29th, 2008 by thrawn
Clone Wars Preview
I’ve been hearing recently that when Spike TV does their upcoming Star Wars marathon that they will be showing a new preview for the Clone Wars movie. Last night I read on my RSS feeder that the preview will be shown before Speed Racer on May 9th. But I’m pretty sure it will be all over the internet in good time. The movie itself will hit theaters on August 15th. For those of you who don’t know, the Clone Wars movie is an animated precursor to the Clone Wars tv series, which is slated for a Fall showing.
Celebration V
That’s right, people are already thinking about the next Celebration. I haven’t been to one before, so providing the location is good and it fits well within my schedule (not likely these days) I hope to check it out. TF.n recently posted an interview between Star Wars Action News and Steve Sansweet. In the interview Sansweet addresses several rumors and questions about future Celebrations. While being very vague in his answers, he mentions that he would LIKE to see Celebrations in Japan, Australia, Europe (possibly Germany). The last part of the interview is what caught my eye:
SWAN rumor report: Celebration 5 is very, very, very likely in 2009, with Chicago the frontrunner as the venue.
Sansweet: We are hoping to do a Celebration in the U.S. next year, and we’ll be looking at Midwest locations like Chicago as well as some further east.
Where would you like the next Celebration to be held and what would probably keep you from attending?

Star Wars Cover Updates

Jedi Twilight & Invincible
Posted on November 10th, 2007 by thrawn
Jedi Twilight Cover
The actual cover for Michael Reaves’ Coruscant Nights: Jedi Twilight hasn’t been released yet, but the cover summary has been:
With the dark ascension of the Empire, and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out, one Jedi who escaped the massacre is slated for a date with destiny–and a confrontation with Darth Vader.
Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who miraculously survived the slaughter that followed Palpatine’s ruthless Order 66. Now, deep in Coruscant’s Blackpit Slums, Jax ekes out a living as a private investigator, trying to help people in need while concealing his Jedi identity and staying one step ahead of the killers out for Jedi blood. Others search for the elusive Jax too. Hard-boiled reporter Den Dhur and his buddy, the highly unorthodox droid I-5YQ, have shocking news to bring Jax–about the father he never knew.
But when Jax learns that his old Jedi Master has been killed, leaving behind the request that Jax finish a mission critical to the resistance, Jax has no choice but to emerge from hiding–and risk detection by Darth Vader to fulfill his Master’s dying wish.

Invincible
The 9th and final novel in the Legacy of the Force series, Troy Denning’s Invincible, will most likely feature Jaina Solo on the cover. This certainly makes speculation about how the series will end most interesting. The “Sword of the Jedi”? Heck yeah.

Star Wars News
Posted on November 1st, 2007 by thrawn
It’s been over a week since my last post, and there has been quite a bit of newsworthy items to talk about. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up:
Fanboys
Some new images relating to Fanboys have surfaced at IESB.net. I hadn’t really realized until now how early their release date would be, (January 14th, 2008) which is only two months away. Now I’m not dieing to watch the film, but I think that it could be quite entertaining if they don’t go too overboard with it.
Republic Commando
Karen Traviss’ latest Republic Commando novel, True Colors, was released last Tuesday. I’m still reading Triple Zero, so I haven’t picked up a copy yet.
In a related announcement on Karen Traviss’ personal website, the title for the final Republic Commando novel is Order 66. Not only is the title awesome and intriguing, but Amazon has listed the novel as a 368 page hardcover with a July 15th, 2008 release date. Needless to say, I’m excited about this. It’s going to be a physically and emotionally explosive finale to a great series.
Fury Summary
If you haven’t read Inferno yet, I don’t recommend reading this:
**POTENTIAL INFERNO SPOILERS**
As Jacen struggles with the loss of many supporters and almost all his friends and loved ones in his bid to rule the galaxy, Luke must deal with grief and the guilt at having killed the wrong person in revenge. The leaders of both sides of the galactic civil war are increasingly losing control over their forces, the Jedi and their allies are hunting the wrong target as they seek to bring the unknown murderer to justice, and a hidden group of Sith have to figure out what to do about Jacen and their own secret agenda.
