I was thinking, how there's all this hype surrounding the KOTOR era, and how on the other side of the secptrum, we have this later but unknown Sith War Lucas has now said trasnpired before the Sith went Alias.

This isn't a coincidence, just as the tidbits of Dark Nest paralleled with the recent Katarn article.

Once Destiny's Way mentioned Zonama, from the time of Traitor, I recognisd quickly how it would end. It was no coincidence that the Vong appear in Rogue Planet and impact on the planet. That it would full circle back to the finale. "And he did, Gandalf," Sauron's Mouth told him sadly, "he did."

I'm betting this "Old Old Republic" series is not a TOTJ / KOTOR spawn, but in fact only 1000yrs ago, around the Russy times and just before. I look at disparate threads and I interlink them.

What do you think/suspect?

I'd love the Old Old Republic book to tie in with Dark Nest. I always liked how RP tied in with the NJO...to me it added to both stories.

Hopefully this book will do well enough that they do more stories from the times of the different Sith Wars.

You should be pickin' ponies.

The first novel is indeed a Darth Bane opus, telling his life's story up through Ruusy and the Sith 2R2. They announced it a couple weeks ago.

Really? When? I must have missed that in a thread.

Ponies, eh? And Eddy Murphy's monoloue in the background. So I was right!

But even pulling a moon closer to its planet is a bit much . . .

Sue Rostoni brought it up at the Lit Continuity panel there. Brought on a large amount of golf-claps from what I recall, myself included.

Golf claps? How'd you manage that with sucker-tipped fingers? batting

I'm thinking since there's insufficient Jedi from the Revan war, a series there would be no different to one now. The Bane period would provide better interest, maybe.

And for sith sake, lets hear these villains speak more too! It'll answer the question at least: who was his apprentice! grin

Matt Stover said that he heard there was a book in production, a KOTOR era story similar to the quest for the holy grail.

That one will either be the Elizabeth Hand hardcover, or one of the two "uncommiteds" that LFL is yet to announce.

For the bloke who asked above: Drew Karpyshyn's penning the Darth Bane novel, due out summer/fall 2006-ish. The whole "Rain/Zannah" question should be conclusively answered in this one. Ghu Willing.




(And the sucker-tipped fingers are more useful for things other than clapping...)

Yesss . . . but can they shoot first?

(that was a good one, I have to admit)

I have this inkling, just an inkling, it might be a young adult book. I haven't been able to find any past publishing credits. Just to small game books. How'd he obtain passes to the Rey Club?

Crap. I was hoping he'd be doing something KOTOR-era and -style. sad

Novelization of the expansion to Baldur's Gate II. Script/story work on that series, and KOTOR. Probably more the latter than the former. tongue

I know, all of which aren't formal and professional works, really. Not saying a 400 page novel has to be a baseline of comparison either. But I'm very curious how you'd score a book contract with no publishing background . . .

Although the KOTOR is 100% accurate TOTJ finishing, that's for sure. Right down to the crowns on some saber tips.

The novelization (and a second unrelated Forgotten Realms novel) aren't "formal and professional works"? confused
