Great Character, great Author!
the only thing that can follow is a great book!

I hope so. Maybe it will finally shed light on Palpatine's origins.
|
Darth Acheron

That is going to be awesome, I can't wait,  . Hopefully this is marking the beginning, along with the Bane novel, of a series of OR novels.

I would settle for a bunch of novels on the Sith Wars. Also, a novelization of KotOR would be great too.

What sucks is that they have a comic series in the KOTOR era but none of them relate to the exile or Revan. It's sad really, I would have bought it if it was either a novel or comic or both, and I bet alot of people would like to see how Revan was born, what he accomplished and who he was before he turned to sith.

Lich, they don't relate to Revan yet - the series is set after the end of Exar Kun's Sth War, but before the KOTOR games - a comic series can go on for a long, long time, so they may just be building up to it.
I'm also quite looking forward to the Plagueis novel, but it is my understanding that Palpatine's origins are one of the few remaining topics that Lucas has barred EU writers from exploring - so it may be Plagueis before he takes Sidious as an apprentice....

Or towards the end of Sidious' Apprentice ship, with Sidious away on a mission, ending with him coming back and killing Plageuis. Better yet it could be about Plageuis as an Apprentice, revealing a new Sith Lord/Lady as his Master...

true that would be cool I still can't beleieve his species

Trivas

Well, that goes once again to show that the Sith are not racist.  .
I know Lucas has barred anyone from touching Palpatine, but this might be his pet project finally showing the full picture. Either that, or he is going to have to make another movie (which is not entirely out of the question).

Don't you mean Speciest or something like that? Is it true he's that one species, Muun?
|
Darth Acheron
|
Of course not, hes multiple species,  . Of course hes only one species, . And its true he is a Muun.
And what do you mean? Racist means against a race, and theres the Human race, the Bothan race, and so on.

"race" is another term for sub-species, that has been applied inaccurately to supra-ethnic groups that are bound more by common culture than by any biological standards.
At any rate, the Star Wars terms you're looking for is "humanist" when pushing the Galactic New Order, or "xenophobic" when it comes to other species that hate outsiders.
Personally, the idea of a Sith Muun is quite intriguing, since I've long since referred to that species as the "gnomes of Zirulak" (no, they're not from Zirulak, it's a play on words referring to the gnomes of Zurich...) Heh, just what we've always needed.... a Sith banker!

There will be no Sith bank. And if there ever was, it would be like the Diplomatic Corps and be represented by an existing member while pulling members from other Orders to serve its aims.
But I agree. I hate the Muun but a Sith one may prove awesome if handled well.

Darth Acheron

I was kidding, Shadow.

Lord Scourge

It would be a great tongue-in-cheek Order, tho...
The Sith Bank, run by the Supreme Grand Gnome...
I see a great need! (TM)

This book has been cancelled. That sucks...

|
Nuh uh. Just put on hold indefinately. Which does technically mean it will come out at some point...
|
Emperor Shadow

It hasn't been fully completed yet. All books like that that get the half-axe are normally never revisited.

Oh, damn......
