Did you ever wonder what happended to some of those NJO books that they decided to skip? We know that they did because originally there were supposed to be around 25 books but now the list has gone down to 19 maybe a couple more. I have the names and the authors of three books that were slated to come out but were scrapped, probably because of time constraints.

BTW these books happen in between Balance Point & Edge of Victory #1: Conquest

Here you go:

NJO originally book #7: Knightfall #1: Jedi Storm (PB) by: Michael Jan Friedman
NJO originally book #8: Knightfall #2: Jedi Fire (PB) by: Michael Jan Friedman
NJO originally book #9: Knightfall #3: Jedi Blood (PB) by: Michael Jan Friedman

and is something known about them?

Not that I know but I will try to find the guy that wrote them and ask him some questions.

ahhh...they scrapped some of the NJO series

Come on Julie, you knew that. The series was originally planned for 25 books, now it's only going to be 19. I need to find out what happened in those scrapped books!!!

Then start searching Detective Lance.....yea I already knew that....but I kinda hoped they'd change their minds and add more

There's still lots of time for them to start on some new ones. At least like 2 years til the series is over.

Yea...happy once more

Glad I could help.

help a bit more Lance! Speed up the search!

I'll second that

I'm trying.

You get an "E" for effort

No gold star???

sorry
*hands Lance a gold star sticker*

Yippee!

hey.....like I said...it's a good quality to be easily pleased

Cool

hmmm....Lance...you and I are getting good at getting off the sub in record time

What's the record?

Hmmm I'm not exactly sure, but this thread doesn't have that many in it

Well I'm still trying to find this guy. But so far no luck.

what guy?....a friend of yours ?

No the guy that wrote those three NJO books that they never came out with.

oh maybe he got a better job offer....though I can't think of a much better writing job than a Star Wars one!!!!!!!!

Maybe they thought that the books didn't really advance the overall story.

Dj didn't advance the overall story line but I really enjoyed it and it was a bit of a break for the characters

That and they created more info for Jaina.

Yeah...that was cool too. I like her ...she's an interesting character. The Solo children are among the most interesting EU characters. Jacen's got his moral dilemma and Jaina's got her trickster goddess thing

But that also just started a couple books ago.

uh huh...and your point is......

It's not a big plot line yet.

oh I see...maybe Rebel Stand will expound upon this ....I doubt Traitor will focus on it though b/c it deals mostly with Jacen and his moral dilemma

how's the search going?

Not too well. I'm just gonna throw in the towel. Someone else can search for me.

Don't give up yet Lance......ummm what was it you were searching for anyway?

The e-mail for the writer for those three books that they never published.

ohhh...why don't you ask Aaron Allston or Elaine Cunningham why they cut the series short????...wouldn't that answer you question anyway?

But I want the inside scoop of the books, like what was in them, if anyone somewhat important died, ask him what was wrong with them to not be good enough to be in the select few books of the series.

ohh......so how did you even find out his name ......go search for web site on him that'll lead you to the e-mail address you seek

I found his name in the books section of TFN, it was in the archives.

Any luck here yet?

No, I gave up.

That's sad but understandable....go spend your time on something else.....like reading NJO or posting elsewhere

How about posting and reading?
