Ep 3 novelization?
Does anyone know whos doing the novelization? Hope its Salvatore again, he's one of my favs.
Also, will you read the novel before you see the movie? I have read both books before the last 2 episodes, and I'll do the same for Ep 3. I'm a spoiler whore, so I already know the story by April anyways. I like knowing what to expect when I see the movie, but not knowing how Lucas will present it. To me, the movies are just SFX extravaganzas, the story is usually better told on paper.

well there is only one man who can do the comic adaptation justice-Frank Miller. He is also responsible for-Batman: Year One, and the three most important dark comic arcs in history-Daredevil Born again, the elektra saga, and Love and War. he also wrote elektra assassin.

Frank Miller would be great for the comic but he does a lot of stuff for Marvel. He also tends to write dark stories. That would be great for the next movie comic.

Well, Miller could write it, but his art style is an aquired taste as of late (ok, as of the last decade or so). I like it, but it would be too rough around the edges for Star Wars, I think.
Is there any news on who is doing the comic adaptation?

This rumor sounds feeble. ADF wrote the novelization of The Chronicles of Riddick. ADF is a sci-fi novel junkie who has written tons of sci-fi books, mostly Star Trek. I love his work.
It's going to be the guy who wrote Traitor and Shatterpoint, Matthew Stover. He kicks ass, so I can't wait.
As for Miller, his stuff USED to be cool. The Dark Knight Returns was beyond awesome. But did anyone read the recently released sequel? I'm sooo dissapointed that I wasted money on that.
