Since the Jedi are aligned with the Wookies, do you think that Anakin's lightsaber could play a role in Tahiri's possible redemption? Or could it have been destroyed in the orbital bombardment?
It hasn't been addressed at all. I really hope it wasn't destroyed. That would be horrible

That's a good thought, Ultima - I'd actually forgotten about the lightsaber being on Kahyyyk, bad me. I hope it wasn't incinerated. If it was, that's one more sin against Caedus. 
Another reminder about the challenge deadline coming up soon. I'm working on an Anakin piece for it - so hopefully there'll be some other takers.

I've been chatting with ImperialSolo, who has suggested some ideas for possible new sections to include in future issues of the magazine.
The first is a section focusing on the authors who have written Anakin and Tahiri in canon. In each issue, we could look at one author, and at how A/T fit into their stories?
A second idea is to look at the canon books since SbS, and imagine each of them with our hero and heroine together in the storyline. How would this have changed the storyline in each?
I'd like to hear everyone's ideas on this.
(I can see the first working as a regular section. We could divvy up the books and post one or two reports each time - or one person could take responsibility overall, and maybe canvass everyone for their views on the books one at a time. I write an article on this type of thing a few issues ago that dealt with A and T in the JJK books, so we could possibly continue from there.)

SPOILERS. Nothing big, but it mentions what book Tahiri is in.
There is plenty of stuff happening with Tahiri in Invincible. However, most A/T fans, even just Tahiri fans, won't be happy about some or it
Edit: I like both of Imperial_Solo's ideas!

I like ImperialSolo's ideas too, but I'm certain we can't do Traitor if we decide to do the second idea.

And this month's challenge is . . .
~by THE_PIED_PIPER~
The current challenge is to write a fic involving Anakin during the Corellian Trilogy set in 18 ABY. It can be a missing scene, although it doesn't have to go strictly with the books. It must, however, be canon compliant.
The Trilogy consists of the books: Ambush at Corellia, Assault at Selonia, and Showdown at Centerpoint all of which were written by Roger McBride Allen. Anyone not familiar with the books who would like to participate please feel free to shoot myself or YodaKenobi a PM.
Tahiri is not featured in these books, but if you would like to write her into your fic by placing her as a child on Tatooine, that will be fine.
Good Luck!
The judges are:
THE_PIED_PIPER and YodaKenobi
The rules are:
1) There is NO word limit. We're looking for quality, not quantity.
2) The story/poem must be a one-post entry.
3) It can be any genre you want it to be but it must be canon compliant.
4) You will have about 6 weeks to complete your story. All entries must be posted in the Beyond the Saga Forum by Midnight Board Time on May 15th. The topic must clearly indicate that you are an A/T challenge contestant.
7) All entries must also be PMed to each judge:
THE_PIED_PIPER
YodaKenobi
This will make our job so much easier.
Judging:
Each judge will write a review and give a score out of 20 for every entry. Whoever has the most points out of 40 at the end obviously wins.
Points will be allotted according to the following criteria:
5 - for punctuation
10 - for Anakin's characterization and what made him special with Centerpoint, because that's what we're mainly looking for here.
5 - for meeting the "overall" mood of those books. It doesn't have to be anything really specific, just a basic working knowledge of that timeframe.
Entrants can PM YodaKenobi or THE_PIED_PIPER with any questions.
The winner will be announced in this thread as soon as possible after the judges have compiled every score. We'll give everyone a heads-up beforehand.
The Prize
The winner will be awarded a special in-thread interview, which will include the opportunity to talk about and advertise their fanfics.
Just thought I'd repost the challenge to make it easier for people to see

My thoughts on Tahiri after reading invincible:(Note this has major Invincible spoilers)
I loved it! I thought as a reader we finally got a chance to understand just exactly what is going on in Tahiri's head. I loved the scene where Jacen tells her that her kiss with Anakin meant nothing. Between that and Ben telling her she is as much of a sith as he was and that the others would forgive her is going to be a major wakeup call. I thought it was interesting in the end when she just wanted to give up, that it was Ben who insisted she come back, it reminded me so much of Luke and Vader in Return of the Jedi. I haven't started shipping Ben/Tahiri because Ben is still just a little kid, I don't care how mature he acts or how tall he gets, but now that Tahiri is definitely on his radar I think were going to be seeing a lot more of her. And I am glad to say that is doesn't look like the EU is done with Tahiri Veila yet!

Never under estimate the power of the dark side.
Do or do not! There is no try.
Hmmmmmm.

My opinion on Tahiri? Serious emotional issues, this woman is seriously off the rails and going after Ben like that <shudders,> lock her up please and don't let her near him, I know some people have hope of B/T but good Force! No only is there a massive age gap, (too big in my opinion unless they want to be Star Wars Ashton/Demi,) how in the world could anyone think her good for him when he has enough emotional baggage as it is? She'd drive him back towards the darkside. I'm not saying the authors won't try it, I just hope they don't. (In my mind it was just a throwback tribute to the Graduate, Denning making fun, not starting anything, Ben was FOURTEEN! It's not right. Have Tahiri locked up for a bit, make her come to her senses, I used to love the character so I hope they can help her, but still...gross.)

I don't think she'll drive him to the Dark Side. I think he will drive her to the Light Side. All she needs right now is a friend and fact is, Ben doesn't really have any friends so that would be a good one.

I'm not saying they can't be friends, I just don't think there should be anything romantic between them, Ben will find more friends in his life, I don't think at the moment Tahiri will be a very good friend for him. If she recovers I don't think she'll have any romantic feeling for Ben, it was only because she was consumed by the darkside that she tried something like seducing a fourteen year old.
If anything Tahiri needs to grow up, Ben is a lot more mature then she's been acting in LOTF, she lost Anakin fourteen years ago and should have gotten over her grieving of him a long time ago, accepting his loss would have played a part in preventing her slipping to the darkside. Hooking up with Anakin's little cousin is just not something Tahiri would dream of doing if she was in her right mind, but she's acting like a child.

Being somewhat of a Beniri fan, I would not mind if Tahiri and Ben hooked up in the future. But right now I want them become good friends, which would be cool. I think if she hanged out with Ben, she'd loosen up and grow up.

Ooh - I haven't got Invincible yet, so this all sounds a bit worrying, but I'll add some thoughts once I've read it.
Yoda and Kick
I'm working on my challenge story but RL is making it tricky to get time, so I may not be finished by the deadline. But I'll post it anyway and send you both a copy once it's finished. I will TRY to get done by the 15th.

First off, I'm definitely against B/T. Becoming friends, if that's even possible, is fine. But nothing more, since it would disgrace what Anakin and Tahiri had.
As for Invincible, I got it yesterday, and I only skimmed a certain part of it, and it was enough to tell me that Caedus gives Tahiri a rude awakening by informing her all the flow-walking did was change her memories. It won't bring Anakin back to life. It's like he's bluntly telling her, "Your boyfriend's dead and gone. He ain't coming back. Get over it." I think that was enough to get her to start leaving Caedus. Not necessarily the dark side, but definitely Caedus.
So Tahiri is still alive. That's good. But what kind of future is there for her. As I said in an e-mail to Tahi for the latest issue of A/T, in her mind the Jedi turned their backs on her during the Dark Nest Trilogy. Anakin's family started doing the same during The Swarm War, and I think the separation was completed in Inferno. I know some were speculating that if Jacen survived Invincible, he would suffer a fate similar to Ulic Qel-Droma - stripped of the Force and in exile either on a planet (maybe Dagobah) or wandering the space lanes. Now I have to wonder if Tahiri is going to suffer that fate. Will she return to Zonama Sekot and never leave, do what A'Sharad Hett did after Order 66 and rejoin the Tuskens, or something else.
We know there's a James Luceno novel coming out at the end of the year, and it takes place after Invincible. I'm certain we're going to be seeing more of Tahiri. Hopefully, someone, ideally Greg Keyes, will write a stand-alone novel detailing what happens to Tahiri post-Invincible.
