Fate of the Jedi Series (Post-LOTF)

I did a search and no threads came up, so forgive me if this is a duplicate...

Apparently there's going to be a book series set two years Legacy of the Force and also following Millenium Falcon, known as Fate of the Jedi. It'll be 9 books, all hardcover, written in a three-author cycle, just like LOTF.

Only this time, there's no Karen Traviss. She was originally supposed to write three of the books, but she was too busy to write them, so the three authors will be Aaron Allston, someone named Christie Golden, and Troy Denning.

The series will involve "heroic journeys for the galaxy's most beloved characters", with Luke and Ben going off on "the journey of a lifetime" while the rest of the gang that wasn't killed in LOTF deals with the aftermath of the Second Galactic Civil War, of the LOTF series. It will apparently launch a "huge story arc".

The books will be published starting next April and ending in April 2011. The first book will be Outcast , by Aaron Allston, available on April 7 2009, then Omen , by Christie Golden, on July 7 2009.

For more information, look it up on Wookieepedia, as it gives a few good links.

Sounds to me like a second attempt at LOTF...

Discuss!

I've heard about this, hopefully it is better then LOTF, the authors screwed up Caedus's character, killed off Mara, Jade and Gilliad Palleon, three good characters before the LOTF were wasted, oh and the mandos were riduclous

As for the series itself, I'm worries about who will be the antagonist(s) in the series, In my opinion it is too early for it to be The One Sith order(this would still be one of my first guesses), another jedi turning dark just happened and we had to series prior to LOTF involving alien wars.

Here is a list of other future novels too if anyone is interested. I'm looking forward to reading the Jaden Korr novel which sounds pretty interesting.

I think everyone who's been in the movies should be left alone at this point.

I hope that they try to show the beginnings of what the galaxy will look like during the LOTF comics era.

also KILL Boba Fett Traviss made him into a dooshbag.

Look forward to this

Looking forward to it assuming we are allowed to read a lot on Luke and Ben's journey.

A douchebag? No, Traviss has tried to put him in a (FAR TOO) positive light.

In retaliation for her obscene murder of Gilad Pellaeon and Mara Jade Skywalker, I submit that Timothy Zahn concludes FotJ with a novel that ends in Mandalore, the Mandalorian culture, and Boba Fett being forever destroyed by a vengeful Jedi.

I submit that the antagonist of this saga be none other than the Galactic Emperor himself.

Fresh some WTFpwning everything in the realm of Chaos, he's able to drain the power from all other Dark Sider spirits located there and thus fully resurrect himself - ready to conquer the galaxy yet again!

My guess is it is still going to be the sith as the antagonist in some form. I bet Caedus's spirit will make some type of an appearance in the series.

Not unless you intend to burn DE and its sequels. Which is fine. But I, one of Palpatine's staunchest fans, can only tolerate His Imperial Majesty being resurrected in one effort.

Though, many years after would be a lot more compelling than immediately after his death at Endor. Make it as though Anakin's sacrifice really ****ed with him.

So essentially Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, but Palpatine vice Ragnos?

Burning DE sounds like a good idea to me...and its sequals were pathetic, as even you should agree.

But I suppose it'd be like JA...except, you know...returning from Chaos and not Korriban. And being Palpatine, who we know about, instead of Ragnos, who we don't.

Honestly, I think your idea is a proper one. It would be more fitting that, rather than a mere six years after Endor, it would take Palpatine decades to recover from the surprise betrayal. And it could either be retconned to the last final bulkwark of the Empire or a post-mortem attempt to retake the galaxy long after the Remnant has made peace with the GA.

And I flipped through DE II today at Books-A-Million. And it really was a shitty comic. The names, the characters, the dialogue...

Yeah. They start you off in the middle of a war...and its actually boring. I don't even know how that managed to do that.

Goodbye.

You do realize that initial post was sarcasm...as my advocacy for burning DE later on should be evidence of?

Yes. But the idea is... painful.

Did you just reply to 3 threads in the span of...15 seconds?

Omnipresence. 😬

Join me, and together we can rule the -- oh wait. I already do.

*happy dance*

Yes, yes...but the Dark Side is isolating.

Nuh-uh. I have a posse.
