The J-class covers continually surprise me. Good to see aging faces on them. Reminds you the Solo twins are around 30 now.

My utilisation of complex locution to ask what's more pathetic, fans who worship their
movie actors, or the actors who couldn't give a damn, is more a reflection of my own
superincumbent mental actuity than any circumscribed lexicon. Don't you agree?

While we're waiting for the Japanese cover of betrayal and for those unhappy with the American version, here's a little geme I found while trying to Google for the Japanese cover:

I would love to see better and slightly bigger pics of all of those pics as in at least 4 of them Jacen actually looks older than he is on the actual Betrayal cover. Sadly this was all I could find.

IMO, the Japanese covers are way better than the dissapointing amercan ones.

Can someone please repost a bigger version of the Japanese Unseen Queen cover? The old pic was juts a thumbnail. Thanks.

Probably not. I don't think we ever got one. Our source for Japanese covers seems to have fallen out of contact.

Also, the main page for foreign covers on TFN is all sorts of messed up now. There aren't any accessible Japanese covers.

And Trip is going to be mad... tongue

Oh well, the Unseen Queen cover wasn't that great anyway. I just wanted a copy for the sake of completion.

I just wish the Legacy covers would come out already. You just know they're going to be great!

Agreed. But it's probably going to be a while. They're a good two years behind at this point. The translation and so forth takes a while. Their publication schedule is significantly different from ours because of that.

Yeah, they are way behind. I'm looking forward to these covers because they may be our only chance to see a decent depiction of what Ben Skywalker and [Edited] look like.

I have the feeling we're not going to get different covers for the Japanese versions. I fear we're now going to get one universal cover for all international versions of SW books.

Colour me crazy, but you know what I'd really like to see? (assuming it doesn't breach any copyright issues)

Set some of our resident photoshop experts loose on these japanese covers to get rid of the various pieces of text and just enjoy the art.
