Joe, any news on whether or not HoloNet News will be continuing Online or with Insider? It's one of my favourite Clone Wars media items, and the only one that details major battles (comics concentrate on characters, so no fleet battles, turning points, General Grievous, etc...)

Unfortunately, I have little to report yet whether HNN will make it's return. I can say it's 'probably' not coming back to Insider with IDG taking over. But I recommend dropping the IDG editors a line and letting them know you miss the feature. There's a small chance it could make a difference if enough people speak up.

It mainly has to do with LFL Licensing's publishing schedule. With so many companies, writers, creators, etc. telling stories in the Clone Wars era currently Pablo mentioned it was getting more and more difficult to make HNN cohesive. In order to keep it in 'real time' and make the news stories relevant to what was coming out simultaneously or have stories lead in to other Clone War media coming out he had to plan ahead significantly. Essentially it was getting even trickier navigating more and more future writer's/publisher's/company's outlines and stories to keep HNN going like it was.

It made sense for Pablo to take a break for awhile and let Licensing approve final story arcs, novels, comics etc. (and I imagine as the new cartoon stories are more ironed out) by the end of this year as we enter into the final stage of Clone Wars stories before the last SW film.

This way, once the plans for the final Clone Wars stories and multi-media projects are more concrete, HoloNet News.com could possibly return in early 2005... just in time for Episode III. Keep your fingers crossed...

my friend and I met Joe at the Mid-Ohio con back in November, and he really was a great guy.

Joe, you're really an amazing artist, the pieces I bought are hanging in my apartment now, and wont be coming down anytime soon. My favorite piece by far though is the one from the Grand Admirals article. Great job!!

Congrats Joe on that excellent feature. I was just coming here to say it was up (lol) and that I have started a thread on the DHC boards (http://www.darkhorse.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=60941#60941) about it too. And another gentle nudge to the DHC folks hehe.

Yeah! I really enjoyed reading the 2 interviews, Joe. Nice!

I love the new SW CW sketch card updates on your site: I always look forward to your Darth Vader illustrations. They just rock. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it would be really great for DHC to have you do a Vader story either in Empire or Tales! But, we gotta see your Jango story too!

StarWars.com reported on the upcoming Topps "Star Wars Heritage" card series, said to include original Artist Sketch cards from Joe Corroney.

Joe, since for the "Clone Wars" sketch cards you were limited in the characters you were allowed to drawn, any idea yet if for "Star wars Heritage" you will be allowed to make sketch cards of characters like Aayla Secura, Quinlan Vos, Jango Fett,... ? happy

I'd absolutely *love* to draw a Vader or Fett story for DHC. In fact, keep your eyes peeled on Star Wars.com really soon for some new artwork featuring these characters (if this doesn't get DHC's attention I'm not sure what will) wink

Also, I've been drawing plenty of new Vader sketch cards for the Heritage set so I'm getting pretty good at drawing his helmet in just about every angle possible happy

The only limit on the Heritage series given by Topps was that we're not allowed to draw characters from the EU, only characters from the films including Episode III. So I'm trying to do as many background and supporting characters as possible, along with lots of cards for the main characters obviously. I've already drawn plenty of Jango Fetts and Aayla Secura's too happy
Again, keep your eyes peeled on SW.com in the near future for a sneak peek at some of my Heritage sketch cards. I'm trying to outdo myself on this set from the previous Clone Wars set but at 2,000 sketch cards this time around it's gonna be tough wink
